Dear Fabio, we are really sorry you didn´t enjoy cooking in our kitchen. We keep it simple but we always try to provide everything our backpackers need to cook a meal. As many hostels we just provide free Wifi in the lobby, that´s important for our atmosphere. Nevertheless we hope you could enjoy your stay here. Sina (Reception)

We had a really good stay there. But the price for the night from new years eve to new years day (59 Euro per person in a 6 bed dorm) ist really to high for a hostel I think.

Dear Georg, we are glad you enjoyed your stay here. We use Revenue Management for our prices and most hostels here in Berlin charged a price like this on New Year´s Eve, and they were all full booked. But we hope to see you again! Greets, Sina (Reception)

The staff weren't as knowledgable as I've had at hostels in Berlin in the past but they were adequate. And there wasn't much atmosphere. There is a bar but I wouldn't really sit in there, I've seen hostel bars done a lot better!

Meininger has an awesome lobby and bar area where you can just chill or use your laptop. It also has a wide range of facilities available. Overall, I was satisfied with this hostel. However, our room was not very clean (there were bits of plastic on the floor and we found an insect in our room), curtains were a bit dirty and had stains on them, and the bed sheets were very thin and quite worn out. Other than that, everything was good!

Loved our stay! This is more like a hotel than a hostel, though our room was very clean and they changed towels every day. Members of staff were lovely, ready to help you out. There was no wi-fi in the room but you can use free wi-fi in the lobby. Great value for money! Also, this hotel is quite close to a rail station which was very convenient. Would recommend! :)
