かなり良質なホステルです。 都心のバックパッカーズのように毎晩遅くまで騒がしいということもなく、落ち着いた環境で宿泊できます。 シャワーの水圧が弱いことと、一階のラウンジで流されている音楽の重低音が多少ですが部屋まで響くことがマイナス点。 それ以外は特に大きな問題は無かったように思います。 コストパフォーマンスの高さは今までの中では一番でした

Location is great, the place is clean and the staff is friendly. It's a good place for a quiet and relaxed night t. In case you are looking for a party hostel you should look for something else. The stay there was good and I'd go back there.

Hostel to get away from other Berlin party hostels! If you need some peace and quiet, it has advantages. Clean toilets and lockers are great. Nice but small common room. Cheap beer and relaxed atmosphere. Some DVD's would be nice as German language TV only!

The rooms were great, but I found the staff unfamiliar with Berlin and could never issue information I requested. Staff were unfimiliar with the city and map.

Really good hostel. Staff were nice, and in great humour, and bursting with info. The showers were properly hot....no going cold half way through. Very pretty kitchen with loads of pots and pans and spices. It was all very clean too. Not too big and the location was good as it was just a wee underground journey to anywhere you wanted to go, yet it wasn't surrounded by pumping clubs. The film facilities actually work too! Nice one!! Stay fresh baby!

This is a clean hostel with a nice kitchen but it was really lacking in character and fun. The common room is like a library, no one interacts with each other at all! We weren't happy with the staff - they put us in different dorms even though we booked together and wouldn't move us into the same dorm, even though the one I was in was not full. Then they charged us double for the key deposit as we needed 2 keys being in different dorms.

It felt like home as soon as I walked in the door. The staff were beyond friendly and helpful. They gave me some great tips on things to see in Berlin that aren't the usual touristy stuff. Sparkling clean and neat. Comfortable beds that don't squeak. Free wireless internet that works. Good kitchen. Quite especially in the middle of the night. I extended my stay twice because i couldn't bare going to another hostel. It was my first hostel stay and it has set my standards extremely high. Thanks! x

Hostel isnt the closest to the centre of the city, but still not that far away. Main problem is that you have to catch several S-Bahn or U-Bahn services to get there. Everything else is great there though.

Great hostel. It is not a party hostel so if you're looking for a party or something else, I recommend other one. This hostel has quite, clean, friendly atmosphere, good kitchen and helpful staff. It might not the best location but it's decent location to get in to the Alexander Platz(city center) by U Bahn and good for exploring east Berlin by foot but I highly recommend to hire bicycle!(only 8 euros per day) Berlin is really good city to take a bicycle :)

Great hostel, great staff

The moment we stepped into the hostel, we were greeted by a very friendly & helpful lady. She was eager to show us all the things to see & do in Berlin. She was also always up for a chat about anything, we chatted about when she visited Melbourne. Overall the hostel is very clean & there were enough showers to cater everybody in the mornings. Kitchen was good. We had a double bed private & the room was HUGE, the biggest we've stayed in so far. Love the character & the wifi nuance was great.

Two HUGE thumbs up. Moved to this sunshiney hostel after a less than stellar experience at the Oddysee down the road. Wow, what a difference! The workers were ridiculously friendly and went out of their way to help me out with my arrangements. The rooms themselves are clean as are all the common areas. Wifi even worked in to dorms, which was a huge plus. GREAT neighborhood and easy access to S-bahn & U-bahn for connections all over town. Really, can't say enough good things!

Not the closest hostel to the city centre, but very close to the underground station. Extremely clean bathrooms and bedrooms. Pillows were absolutely terrible.

The hostel was very nice, clean and had everything we need it. It was located about 20 minutes from TV tower but we rented bikes so it took us 7 minutes. The staff was super friendly, especially Liese from Germany. Everyone speaks English and they even give you information about the history of Berlin. The room was big enough for us two. There is always hot water to take a shower. There is a 2 Euros charge for breakfast and they have coffee, milk, bread, butter and jam. You can buy food and cook.
