The vibe, the pub, the staff, the giant bedrooms! This has been one of the best hostels I've ever visited and I'll definitely come back. Plus, you have an amazing location.

- 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:)

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.

“Will stay again when I come to Berlin in the future.”

Unfortunately, the room I was in was facing a 4 way road, so it was hard to fall asleep because of the traffic noise - but nothing could be done about that!
Prime location right next to a tram stop. Convenience store nearby to stock up on essentials, an excellent bakery down the street where I had my breakfast and the brilliant bar in the basement that had delicious and refreshing beer. Rooms were clean, beds were comfy and the lockers were secure. Toilets were clean as well.

My room was a bit noisy because of the noise that came from the street, but also because of my roommates. I also didn't like that it doesn't have a kitchen.
The hostel is great. It is modern and clean, the staff is nice and friendly, and it has a really good breakfast. It also has a bar and a cafe which is great for rainy days when it's hard to go outside.

- the heating was off in rooms and bathrooms, it was extremely cold. The staff didn't turn it on until we did it ourselves on the second day of the stay - no kitchen, no frige - my flip flops were stolen in 8-beds dorm and staff said "we are very sorry, we can't help here". I was extremely angree (I needed them for the shower). - you need to go down to the reception to get a hair dryer - bring your own pad lock, as the lockers go without them - bring your towel or rent one for 1 eur
- 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.

“A local hostel with global minded people! Stay in a very good place for an affordable price.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
I'd consider improving the stability of bunkbeds. Somehow, I'd hear steps and fell my top bed a bit shaky every time someone would walk into our dorm room. Considering my trauma in Japan with earthquakes, I had difficulties sleeping the entire nights.
I spent 3 nights at this hostel and highly recommend it for open-minded, no frills, easy going travelers. A very nice building, well taken care by amazing staff members, always willing to support their guests with their best smile and advices. Breakfast was extremely valuable in terms of quantity x quality - you can't have such good all-you-can-eat breakfast for 5 euros. Overall, showers and common areas are clean for most of the time, considering such a big hostel full of guests. Their staff provide most of the basic things or you can ask it at the reception. The extra experience was a guided tour during the Unification Day of Germany about the Berlin Wall and its effects in the local communities, with an expert who studied and interviewed many people. Very interesting value with great insights about what hospitality should embrace: caring for locals!

Room needed airing before we checked in - although clean the previous occupant must have had seriously smelly trainers! Pillows only serious criticism. Mainly air (incompressible) making them very difficult to be comfortable.
Fantastic staff, communal areas, bathroom facilities.extremely delicious and reasonable breakfasts. Easy location with multiple transport options. Excellent base for 6 days. Reception went well beyond the expected service.
