Rooms were neat, clean and spacious. Location was superb.

This is by far one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in! Extremely clean and modern; clean toilets and showers (the shower rooms are unisex but I never saw anyone else in there while I was in there); cafe onsite; brewery onsite; great breakfast for 5 Euros; storage room downstairs if you need to store extra stuff that doesn't fit in the locker next to your bed. The beds were comfortable; AMAZING location a stone's throw away from Rosenthaler Platz metro; amazing location in Mitte. I loved this place and would 100% stay there again. I met some amazing life long friends here and enjoyed the karaoke and trivia nights they put on! Highly recommended!

- perfect location with many shops and restaurants around, tram and metro is 30 seconds walk, city center is 30 minutes walk - big rooms with nice view from the window - regulated heating in the room - personal space and locker next to the bed, very comfortable - breakfasts are nice, they serve vegetables too (which is rare for buffet breakfast) - warm blankets - generally quiet in the room, no parties on sleeping floors! - there is a bar with own brewery on the ground floor.

Very cozy, nice and clean hostel. We booked private room for two. It was small but very nice room with window to the street. Baths and toilets are shared, but they were always available, never have felt any disconfort about it. Good kitchen with breakfast for 5€. Also they have small bar at basement with craft local beer. Couple of other beers also available. Very confortable lobby where you can spend some free time. Always many nice people around, so you never feel borring there:)

Ideal location, clean, great value and features a David Hasselhoff shrine/museum. What more could you ask for?

So much to like about this place. Let's start with the location. One of the best locations in the city, Rosenthaler Platz right in the heart of town across the road from the U bahn and on a tram track. Lots of street food at this junction. The hostel is pretty awesome. 24x7 reception. A lift that moves at a good speed. Fast Wifi. A microbrewery at the basement level. Generally courteous staff. There was one guy, I think his name was Fahim or Tahir or something similar. Exceptional guy. Went out of his way to help and even provided me an umbrella to use when I lost mine.

The hostel doesn't provide free towels. Everything is extra, it's the only (small) downside.
Everything, it was a great overall experience. From the friendly staff, to the tram and metro stops right in front of the hostel which was super convenient. And even the Brandenburg, Reichstag and all the main sights are a short walk. The breakfast for 5€ is very good value. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. I would come back again definitely!

The fact that the hostel is located in the center of the town is a major pro, walkable distance from Alexanderplatz and other cool places, lots of places to eat and grocery shops nearby, cool neighbourhood. You can choose any bunk bed available, the sheets are super clean and the pillow and mattress are the most comfortable. High level of privacy on the bunk bed and private lightning. Also, the fact that every floor is secured with a card that you receive at the reception is nice cause it prevents events like people from other floors screaming on your floor or something. I found the hostel really quiet on the floors with the rooms, downstairs is also cool, people are hanging out and it's not too much chaos, but this depends on the people and I guess the season. I stayed in a 10 bed room and my colleagues were super nice and not noisy at all. Good level of temperature in the room. Also staff was friendly and not nosy, but they help you with anything.

I guess this isn’t the hostels fault as it can’t control guest behavior (but maybe putting a sign in the rooms reminding people to be respectful after 10-11pm) because clearly people don’t understand etiquette and think it’s ok to bring strangers at midnight, turn on lights at 1am, etc Also there is no kitchen or much of a common space other than a public cafe and bar
The staff were very friendly and helpful and it felt safe. Also super comfortable beds and pillows.

Perhaps a map /leaflet with more information on immediate local neighbourhood. EG places as recommended by other guests to eat, shop, drink, hear live music, get groceries?
The breakfasts were excellent. Location was excellent - good to have so many places around to walk to. Nice friendly vibe. Staff very helpful. Great having a bar and café onsite. Good view of sites from the balcony. Handy lockers for luggage storage on our last day. Hilarious David Hasslehoff Museum downstairs. Fast free internet great. Having tours from the hostel was really useful.

The bathrooms can get busy in the morning. Although there was a place to fill up your water bottle at the ground floor, I didn't find where to fill it up at my floor, so I had to use the bathroom sink and the bottle wouldn't fit well.
Great location and very friendly staff! They had towels and hairdryer available (ask at the reception), and they rent bicycles to discover the city.

All perfect.
One of the best hostels I have been in. First of all, it is one of those hostels that seem to have been designed by travelers as it has all the amenities a traveler needs: the right amount of hangers, a nice-sized locker, comfortable beds, etc. The facilities are well kept. Staff is really friendly. Then you have the cleaningness. Even bathrooms. I take shower before going to bed and it is a time most people have already taken a shower but regardless, it was spotless clean. And the breakfast is excellent: for 5 euros you get a nice selection of fruits, yogurt, bread, tea/coffee/orange juice. Highly recommended.

It couldn't of been helped due to the nature of being a hostel, but the noise from the corridor, doors/rooms was abit loud, it also probably can't be helped as the corridors are large so eco. However generally it was quite than alot of hostels I have been too!
Amazing location. The bed was really comfy, and the shower was great!! At breakfast they were able to provide gluten free bread and dairy free spreads!
