Hostel OSTEL - Das DDR Hostel

Wriezener Karree 5, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, 10243 Berlin, Germany – Great location - show map

“DDR decor is great -- including the radio! -- and the location only about a block from the Ostbahnhof makes it very easy to get around the city. I stayed in a single room, which had plenty of space for bags and everything.”

United States of America

“Friendly staff. Very original retro decoration. It even had an old radio that was still functional. Clean small room, shared bathroom was also OK. You get your own key to the main door to come back in after hours. Well situated: cash machines, shops, cafés, in the proximity of Ostbahnhof where you have everything you may need (food joints, supermarket, bank, drug store) On Sundays there's also a cool flea market outside the station.”

“Very friendly staff, we could leave our things before and after our check-in and check-out. The room was lovely and clean. Ostbahnhof is three minutes away and easy to get anywhere. There are supermarkets nearby. ”

The “double” bed was just too singles pushed together that kept sliding apart. But other than that,no complaints.

Floor was a little dusty. Bathroom was one between five rooms which was no problem for us but could be an issue during busier periods.
Really cosy, beautiful decor, excellent location right next to a discount supermarket and Berlin Ostbahnhof. Shower water pressure was really good.

There is no possibility to by food in the hotel. If you come late in the evening without having dinner, it could be difficult to sleep with empty stomach. May be an automat with snacks could be helpful
The Person on the reception was very friendly. It is good to sleep in Berlin for little money.

Nothing.
The double room was more like a hotel than a hostel. Excellent value. Close to Berghain. Next to Ostbahnhof where you can get a fast train direct to Schoenefeld.

Beds are quite soft and pillows are small and soft so both my friend and I have sore neck and sore back after spending a couple of nights there.

Heating in the bathroom.
Clean, bright and hot room. Quiet area and close to public transport (S), 3 minutes walking. There is a supermarket 20 meters from the hostel.
