This is a place for travellers who need a comfy bed and a shower. The hotel is walking distance from Berlin Ostbahnhof, East Side Gallery and also the Museumsinsel (this is a longer walk, about 25min). The staff is super friendly and helpful. Even though most guests we've seen were (very) young, the nights were quiet, everyone met with respect, I can only recommend it. Good value for the price.

Could be better connected by public transport, but it is still manageable, even with a kid.

Good location, the other side of the Spree from the East Side Gallery and the Ostbahnhof station (direct to/from the airport). A few minutes from Heinrich-Heine-Strasse U-Bahn station, a couple of stops to Alexanderplatz. The bar is open till 4am serving drinks and snacks, which is handy if you arrive late. A 0.5L draft Pilsner was less than 4 euros, so great value too. We requested a quiet room and it was nice and peaceful. I get the impression other blocks/floors are quite noisy though.

It's a very busy place with lots of teen groups milling and lolloping about blocking every entranceway they can. The twin room was super-compact: much smaller than the example room in the pics. Clothes storage could be improved: just two hangers and two hooks. There's only one lift up from main reception, so be prepared for a wait or a walk. Minor complaints - overall, the place is fine if you're not too bothered by kids being kids.

The hostel is quite conveniently located, it was easy to get to town from there via public transport. Breakfast was nice and inexpensive. The room was basic but spacious enough and, most importantly, clean. You can have a drink or a meal in the lounge at the reception, and there are a lot of settees, tables and some games so that guests can spend time and have fun together at night. It's ideal for youngsters, and was full of student groups.

The shared places were not always clean, breakfast tables were left in a mess by other guests, so it was difficult to find a clean spot.

The room was super clean, comfortable beds and were clean. In my room i didn't hear my neighbors who speaks, watching TV and so on. Only the girl stuff were nice and helpful. The bar was good and lobby was clean too.

About noise: I could hear people when they are walking near my room but it didn't prevent me from sleeping or didn't annoy. In Hallway I could hear someone was watching TV, talking or something else, but for me it wasn't a problem. Near to the second bed, one socket didn't work, but under TV there are two more sockets so it wasn't a problem too.

The hostel was clean in general (it was one of the most important things for me tbh) rooms were cleaned well and even the common toilets were hygienic. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was pretty close to U8 metro. The general atmosphere and my stay in the hostel was so chill. If I came to Berlin again, I’d definitely stay here. Thanks :)

The breakfast I think it’s a little bit overpriced and the other food options (or snacks) for dinner was only edible, not tasty :D But bar staff were really kind :)

Great location, spacious room, separate toilet and bathroom. Clean. Never had any issues with noise but I can imagine it could get noisy as it is large building with hundreds of rooms. Hostel side is popular with young people so if you are looking for a quiet place to stay probably it’s not the best choice.

Lift not working , could be an issue if you travel with a lot of luggage and happen to get a room on 7th floor…

Fantastic set up the hotel has, great communal area in the lobby which was open 24/7, rooms were perfect for what we needed, beds very comfortable

Upon check-in there were 2 girls at the desk, first girl said we all needed to fill in a separate form which took a while given there was 22 of us, brought them back up and the other girl said we didn't need to do that and gave me a different form, which I brought back up and waited in a queue again to be told that she wasn't able to process and I needed to go to the other queue. This could have been a lot smoother. When we got to the rooms, there was only 2 towels between 4 of us and the shower head was broken so we couldn't make proper full use of the shower. There was only 2 keys given to each room which was not ideal as there were 3/4 people in each room.

I loved everything, a&o it's the best if you choose to book single or specially shared room.

I didn't liked that I've booked 3 times in same week and they only offered me a free beer once a month they said if I give 5 stars. I was expecting to get a chance to get a free drink evetytime I have to share / rate.... I know it's. Abit cheesy.. But why not to have 3 free drinks instead of 1 a. Month as they said. Next time I'll switch a&o in different locations then I'll daily may get free beer (which cost 5 eur) :) hehe.

Stayed in a few a&o hostels on my Europe travels and can say you always know what to expect, the rooms always have a similar layout and furniture. The room here was clean and the beds were comfortable. Good location for sight seeing, 15min walk to the east side gallery of the Berlin wall and close to lots of train stations to get anywhere

The bathroom was very small, but it was fine for just a couple of nights. Didn't cause any great issues.

Really good value for money: the hotel was clean and cozy, offered many services, and the staff were customer-friendly. The area around the hotel was safe even at night.

There were many school groups and young teenagers staying at the hotel at the same time as us, which caused some disturbances. We could hear the noise of the youngsters and their running in the hallways throughout the night, and they kept knocking on our door as a prank.
