Ostbahnhof Train Station: only 6 minutes away! (1,400 feet by foot)

the room was romantical retro,and the ostbahnhof is some minutes for walk

Adrienn, Hungary

Fun hostel, cool design. Directly next to Berghain.

Sophia, Hungary

Proximity to Ostbahn was great. Everything was great.

Michele, Australia

We stayed two nights at the hostel in a private double bed room. The place was very clean and the staff was very friendly. (They solved most of our questions). The bedroom had a lot of space and it was very warm. Despite the toilet was shared with people on the same floor, it was always clean.

Alexander, Chile

Location is very convenient, love the size of the room , bed very comfy and rest of it :)

Iya, United States of America

Everything is nice, clean and close to train Station

Jimmy, Costa Rica

The room was really nice. The location was excellent and I could leave my suitcase on arrival and after I checked out so really convenient to explore and have a base. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The shared bathroom was Ok. There is a supermarket by the door so that's great too. If you get the Berlin Welcome Card you can get discounts in some shops at Ostbahnhof.

Al, United Kingdom

This is the second time I stayed here. Highly recommended.

Layool, Kuwait

Ostel Hostel is one of the best hostels you can imagine. The style they've kept from the 50s is really cool and the rooms are very comfortable. It's very close to the crazy nightlife of Berlin, with a lot of huge clubs and Warschauerstraße just around the corner. It's also at the back of a building, so it's quiet in the night. Ostbahnhof station is only a 3 minute walk away with great connection to the rest of the city. The staff was also very nice.

Agathe, Sweden

Staff were very helpful. Me and my sister felt in love with this artistic room. I recomend this place for everyone. Perfect location close to Ostbahnhof station. We booked a double room.
