After our first night I woke up with rashes on my arm, but didn't give much thought, and on the second night I woke up with some more, and in the third night, in the middle of the night, woke up with a bedbug IN my arm. Went to the reception, staff didn't believe it, didn't care and said there... More

Firstly this hostel was very easy to find, just round the corner from the Oranienburger Straße station. When our party came round the corner and spotted the common room, complete with pool table we were elated. On closer inspection we found what I can only describe as a room full of Models! At this point I ran to reception to... More

Three friends and I booked a four bed dorm when in Berlin for the Marathon. We stayed for four nights after the marathon. The room and communal area (seating area and bathrooms) were clean and really nice, better than expected. The bar was cool and the staff friendly and helpful. Centrally located and ideal for exploring Berlin. Would definitely recommend. More

It started out to be a nice place to stay in but the staff working the reception were extremely RUDE on several occasions. The staff do not appear to be aware of the limits of a staff-guest relationship. I was staying with a visiting female friend and it was unusual to see that the male staff was constantly trying to...

This hostel was not the best that we stayed at on our Europe trip (or even in Berlin), but it was good enough. I could be fine staying here again but it wouldn't be my first choice. We stayed here because we booked the day of, and it was the best one available (based on TripAdvisor reviews). Cost - Decent... More

Stayed here for 3 days in mid-June and had the most incredible time. The staff were helpful and got us settled straight away. We met plenty of people in the very hospitable common area. Amazing courtyard where we could hang out in the evenings before going out. Internet costed, but most of the time they basically let you off, which... More

I stayed here with friends for 3 nights during an inter-rail trip around Europe. We were on a budget and opted to stay in a hostel. The hostel has a good reputation and I dare say one of the better hostels in Berlin. Additionally, it is good value for money. The bar in the hostel is lively and open until... More
