The Hostel exceeded all my expectations. It was cozy, roomy and had lots of artistic interior design choices that made me feel in awe of the building itself and I wish I had more time to explore the hostel itself. The beds were very comfy, which was a big surprise to me and the bunk beds were well spread apart giving enough room. There were also separate free lockers in the basement of the building, which needs a code from the reception. The staff were very helpful and nice and the breakfast was also generous, especially with the time for late risers. The Toilettes and bathrooms are outside of the rooms (so don't forget you key card) but provided enough privacy as the showers were in different locked stalls and toilettes were separate (that was the 3rd floor).

You need to bring a big padlock for the locker in the room and it can be loud when opening the windows to let fresh air inside and I had some issues with my bed socket and I wish the beds had curtains for more privacy.

The location is amazing, one of the tram lines stops literally in front of the door to the Hostel. Staff was all very helpful and friendly. We had a private room on the top floor and the room was huge and had a great view. The room had a full kitchen with dishes and some cooking utensils, and also a nearly full sized refrigerator which was super convenient. Reusable shampoo and body wash in the bathroom. For being in such a central location we found the room to be very quiet. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in Berlin.

The breakfast was good, but fairly chaotic. Early in the week it was fairly empty and we did go down right at the start of breakfast - on the days we came down later sometimes the entire breakfast bar would already be empty and it took quite a long time for the food to be replenished. That said, the breakfast price is very fair, but yeah definitely try to go early. Our bed was two beds pushed together, but with a gap in the middle so we were sleeping in two separate, not very comfy beds. And even though we stayed for a week our linens were not changed. We asked at the front desk and they did change our towels.

Very good location. Nice that they have a cafe downstairs and a possibility to leave your luggage for safekeeping after checking out. The showers and toilet were realtively clean and usable. Toilet paper and soap always stocked. The staff were all very nice and spoke clear english. Bedding was clean.

I stayed in a private room, but without private bathroom and restroom. The showers and toilet were ok, but I think they stayed clean because people were generally not making them nasty, since I usually used the same shower I could tell they weren't being cleanded everyday. The bed was not very comfortable as well, it had a plastic/water ressistant protective cover on the matress (which in understandable) but it made the matress slippery and uncomfortable.

The 6-bed dorm is very spacious, it didn't feel cramped or stuffy at any point. The hostel itself is rather quiet, although the street below can get noisy, especially with the trams. The location is unbeatable, plenty of cafés and restaurants around, super well connected. In general, it's very clean and there's enough showers and toilets, I never had to queue.

The bed was not very comfortable though I didn't have any major issues after 4 nights. In general, I think I was expecting nicer toilets and showers. They only provide hand soap, no shower gel, and you have to pay for towels if you're staying in a dorm. In addition, there's no paper towels anywhere, which is good for the environment but rather annoying otherwise, as the hand dryer in the women's toilets barely worked and there was none in the showers.

The hostel is well located, has a nice common space, a cafe and a nice bar. The bar staff are nice and, on thursdays, they promote a karaoke that is super fun! The staff are nice and helpful. I stayed in a 8 bed room, the rooms are big, has enough space and places to charge the electronics, a locker and a small light for each bed. Showers are hot.

To lock the locker you must have a big padlock, the regular ones used for luggages do not fit. I had a regular one and didn't use. The shower room has no changing room, so you need to change in the shower space taking care not to wet your clothes. The towel is not included, even thought it says it is on booking.com description.

room was clean and spacious. bathroom was clean. rooms are cleaned everyday (private room with private bathroom - not sure about other rooms). hostel is right next to the U-Bahn (underground rail), tram and bus stops. can reach berlin central station in 15 mins via public transport. staff were helpful and accommodating. the hostel has great events where you can meet people.

social energy in the hostel was a bit quiet. there wasn't a proper open space area for hostel travellers to chat and mingle with others apart from the lobby and downstairs bar which was oftentimes quiet. this might be because it was the period after xmas and new years.

Nice, well decorated place. The double room with private bath is quite large, stylishly decorated and has all the necessary facilities. There is a bar in the hostel building where you can relax after a walk and sing karaoke. Friendly staff, 24-hour front desk. The breakfast was really tasty, there was a choice of vegetarian options. The hotel is well located.There is a metro station nearby, but during our stay the line was under reconstruction. However, it was possible to reach the main attractions on foot (about 15-20 min walk). Nice restaurants in the neighborhood. The noise of the street outside the window did not bother us, as we walked a lot and fell asleep instantly. The bed was comfortable, the room was warm. There are a lot of young people relaxing in the hostel, but this does not interfere, but enlivens the atmosphere.

The location of this place was very convenient. Was located nearby all forms of public transport and within walking distance of most places, but could easily save time/your feet with transport. The rooms are quite big and the bar, cafe and common areas are very nice.

My room was on the side of the building facing the Main Street. It was very loud at all times of the night. Ambulances and trams (until 12am and from 4am-ish) went past frequently. I recommend asking for a room that is on the opposite side of the building. There was also no AC and only a small pedestal fan (ineffective) in the room. This was expected, but makes the room hot nonetheless.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, the location is perfect you're close to two major transportation (The U Bahn and the M Trams stations); you're close to major tourist spots such as Alexanderplatz, you have wonderful places beside you, my favorite was Zeit fur brot (A bakery that's really close to the hostel). It's a really good place for a hostel and fun, didn't try the bar though.

The fact that the hostel didn't offer laundry, and that's because I don't know how to use a washing machine, especially in a country where I don't entirely know the language let alone their washing protocols, other than that it's everything you expect a good hostel to be.

The hostels location is great and is right next to both the U-bahn and a couple tram stations for getting around. There's also a 24h convenience shop directly opposite the hostel as well as multiple bars and resteraunts close by. The hostel is very clean and all of the staff and fellow guests I encountered were very nice and friendly. Overall the hostel is in a good location with good overall vibes and is very clean and comfortable to stay in.

My only real criticisms of the hostel were that the USB chargers only allow a very low current meaning the only viable way to use the USB ports is to charge your devices overnight. This was easily solved by using a EU plug socket adaptor which allowed me to charge my phone much quicker. You are also required to bring your own lock for the item lockers in the room. However, this wasnt an issue for me as my case locked, but this could easily catch ypu out. Other than the charging situation, the noise at night made it harder for me to sleep. But the hostel can't be blamed for this as this can be expected in a large city, and was easily solved by purchasing some earplugs.
