    The atmosphere was quirky and fun. The bunk was comfortable. The shower room and toilet room were both clean and worked well, the showers were always hot. The location was within walking distance of an U Bahn entrance.

    The staff were amazing! I broke my foot recently, and they were so kind to accommodate me, making sure I had access to the elevator and ensuring I had a bottom bunk bed!

    I got a surprise to a one bed single room which I think is better valued. I highly recommend this

    Luckily I get the separate room (which I was not expecting, maybe due to less rush) it was very good and clean. Quite too. The facilities was really good, unique comic wall in toilets 😆 and nice paintings in room.

    Good value hostel in a central location. At this moment was a bit quiet, but its bar seems to have a good atmosphere at other moments of the year.
