    It would be nice if there was more wardrobe in the room.

    The location was perfect. Pretty close to the U-Bahn station. The breakfast buffet was also nice. There were so many options. Staffs were friendly.

    Well it’s a hostel so obviously, one needs to be aware of it, I just wish the people visiting were a bit more respecting of the others and not shouting in the corridors. Again, breakfast was ok but I would add some eggs or more tea sorts to choose from.

    Breakfast was fine. I had something else in a hotel for the same price of the hostel stay but my room with the view and actually overall cleanliness and friendly staff balanced the ok breakfast.

    I was in two room, the first one, the cheapest option, was very big, and was suppose to house almost 10 people, and that really could get uncomfortable considering one bathroom and one shower room; ,but luckily we weren't too many tenants, and they were really sweet and respectful, so it was still a comfortable stay. I was moved to another room, unfortunately without notice but because i didn't have internet and they couldn't connect me, and the move was because of a huge school that came to stay there. So i was moved on my last night, it was a bit of a hustle, but i got a room for myself alone, i was given a small refund for the hustle, and the evening stuff was very patient with me while i forgot a few things or needed help at something.

    The place was near a metro station, and it was located in a quite central place, so there were a lot of bars and restaurants around the place. The breakfast was minimal and yet quite full, it was very nice to start the day with a small sandwich, tea and yoghurt. The stuff were kind and respectful and helped with everything, and had a 24/7 service which was comfortable. On top of that, although its not in the stuff's control, but the tenants that shared the room with me were very kind and interesting people, so the stay was very pleasant and nice.

    Security vigilance could be improved. There should be more than just one security for the entire buildings.

    Breakfast was excellent. And the Cantee crew were excellent and always filling up the empties.

    The showers and toilettes are very dirty: The floor seems not to have been cleaned for ages. On the other hand, as I said, I paid an extra for a single bed and I was placed in a bunk bed.

    The breakfast was good. The beds were good enough although I paid extra for a single one and I was placed in a berth. The location is good, so close to the underground.

    On check in one of our rooms had been given to someone else and they wanted to move four children alone to another floor! Not acceptable so for one night had to put 8 people together. Not good as room booked a year ago. Also asked for a breakfast to go with us on last day as we were leaving early, person on desk said no problem. Last night I checked the time we would require it and the new person knew nothing about it. Then saying we would have to pay for this. 30 people! We already had paid for breakfast with our room. As it happens they opened the kitchen early for us so was sorted but caused unnecessary stress thinking how I was going to feed 30 children. The rooms are very basic. Bedding has some old stains but clean. Towels given are only hand towels. Breakfast good but would be good if some hot options like sausage and egg. Noisy from road.

    Value for money. Location.

    Some rooms are not equipped with a bathroom so you have to go to the common ones, but it was written there.

    The hostel's location is amazing, just a few steps from a metro station. Close to the center and main city's sights. Also close to the best kebab and currywurst bistros. Free breakfast is a nice deal. Friendly staff

    Room too hot. Windows without blackout curtains, so in the morning at 4 O' clock the light came into my room. Window in front of main street: smog and noise. Bathroom without fan and without towel rack. Only one small towel (like 60x100) for hands and body; so, no shower towel. Price quite height for the offer.

    Very central in Meringhdamm. Next to the U-Bahn. Breakfast included.

    The place is a little outdated and the bathroom wasn’t very clean. When you took a shower there was water everywhere on the bathroom floor, quite annoying.

    The breakfast was fine, nothing too special. I probably wouldn’t buy the breakfast another time. The location of the hostel was very good, it was right next to the metro and a kiosk. The rooms was very spacious and clean enough.

    The place was a dump. Old everything, toilet seats broken, ripped common area seating, the place was always dark with no lighting, the guests there just like one of the reviewers put it “like a prison unsafe environment” and perhaps mold ran in the pipes. Everyone was coughing and not well at the place. People were rude and it’s like a Turkish refugee hotel or something housing a lot of Turkish people. The beds and sheets were clean but the bed was so cheap that your body sinks in. There were more than a few arguments in the short 8 days I was there. Not a place you want to stay to enjoy Berlin. The place is literally a dump.

    The location was very convenient to a metro stop. There’s lots of restaurants around and grocery store not too far away. The beautiful young Turkish souls were very lovely people. The free breakfast was nice but the older staff are really unfriendly. They look at the guests with so much contempt.

    My bed was broken. The keycard stops working sometime after 01 and in Berlin I think you always stay out longer than that.

    No rug in the toilet/bathroom. It can get slippery when wet and not that safe. Otherwise this hostel is really good. The towels are also very small but not really an issue.

    Breakfast was good. Very basic hostel that is centrally located. Good price. Staff are good. Good for a short time stay.
