    1. The door is badly signalized: the entrance is through a white metal door with red led-lights shared with the strip club (this on the first floor, hostel on the second floor). 2. The automatic lights (specifically in the toilet/bathroom) should be turned on longer so you don’t need to wave while showering. 3. Although we didn’t have security issues, we realized the room/floor codes remain unchanged between the guests. 4. It was really hard to reach the host via booking nor WhatsApp calling and the welcoming message was also not so warming (the check-in information came without description, just a bunch of codes for the doors)… PS: the checkin/checkout gap was confusing once the next guest arrived before our checkout limit time. We were lucky because they were 3angel sweet ladies, but it is a point to notice.

    The location is very near to the city center; it is in the redlight neighborhood tho, which may be a little uncomfortable but we didn’t have any issues! And we had at our disposal a shared kitchenette (fridge, sink and stove) if needed. So overall good quality-price ratio.

    the location was actually unsafe, and the strip club just under the apartment wasn't the problem. for one night it's ok to stay, if you come home a little early.

    the room was clean and the beds were comfortable.

    On Friday night extremely loud! There is the club one floor below the hostel and you hear the music until 4/5 in the morning. I would not recommend for people with sleeping problems. A bit difficult to find.

    The room is big, clean, the bed sheets smell nice. The common kitchen is available. Two bathrooms with showers was enough for the floor. Close to the center (walkable).

    Not possible to sleep at Hostel "Berkut" due to noisy Bar across the street

    Unfortunately across the street from Hostel "Berkut" was a Bar which stayed open until 4am in the morning playing loud music and with people making lots of noise and shouting. So after getting just 4 hours sleep, I left Hostel "Berkut" the following morning and had to book into a hotel to get another room where I could get some sleep ! This is not the fault of the owners of Hostel "Berkut" but I cannot recommend to stay there.

    Actually a decent place on top of a brothel.

    There are no lockers, which would be nice. Oh, and it's on top of a strip club (or brothel..? Uncertain!). So in the evening, to get to your bed, you need to use the same entrance from the street as "White Butterfly". We also heard someone in the street having what sounded like the orgasm of his life..! So, not great for families with kiddies.

    So the place is clean, and the kitchen/toilets fine. Also, the locations good, but....

    It is located in the red light district kind of region of Nürnberg, therefore it was super loud. This made sleeping super hard in general.

    It was clean, beds were fine. Bathrooms were also clean and spacious. There was a kitchen that we could use, as well as the washing machines.

    On night was much noise from people and ocasionally from car's music on the street. The street entrance is quite dissimulated, difficult to find the first time and there isn't light on the stairs. The kitchen has pans and pots but not microwave.

    Very clean in general. Beds were comfortable. Good bathrooms with pressure and warm water. At 10 minutes walking from main monuments in old town.

    It's quiet difficult to find this hostel. There is no elevator, you have to carry your suitcase up 4 floors. Doors sometimes didn't work even though we pressed the correct code.

    There are electrical outlets next to beds. Calm.

    it is right above the red light district, we could see prostitutes dancing at their windows right from our bedroom, not to talk about the high volume music that came from there that went on all night. in the evening (it was around 7pm) we came back to a boy being arrested right in front of the door of the hostel.

    it was close to the centre

    The location, it’s on the top of a table dance club, the surrounding is brothel. Has no lift and it is on 4th floor. Very noisy in the night. The location is really bad, you will have to cross the street with prostitutes standing half naked on the windows.

    Kitchen was okay. It had washing machine as well.

    It was really noisy at night because a naked girls' dancing club was in the same building. I wouldn't advise solo travelers or women to take this accommodation for safety reasons. I also recommend that Booking.com remove this accommodation from their catalog, but they don't want to act.

    The location is the worst. The histel is found next to sex houses and loud clubs. Loud noises all night long making it difficult to sleep. Hostel in on 2nd floor, on 1st floor their is a club with bad noise cancellation so it literally feels like sleeping in a club. People making noises all night long on the streets downstairs. It is good location for someone who is looking for sex, party and no sleep at night. Not a hostel for people who want to sleep.

    Fully equipped Kitchen and 2 bathrooms availble for 5 rooms
