Guest Reviews

• Fabienne Sophie (9/5): Perfekt für ein Wochenende in Berlin - Klein Ruhig Sauber Kleine Küche
• Colombo (9/5): Minimal hostel, maximal happiness - El comfort de la cama, la ubicación, la facilidad para entrar. El personal siempre atento y predispuesto para ayudar. Tiene todo lo que necesitas. Se oyen los ruidos de los compañeros de hostel, pero no es dramático.
• eric (10/5): -
• Nico (8/5): Preis Leistung und Lage sind top! - Die Unterkunft überzeugt durch seine Lage! Boden, Türen knarzen laut, aber das ist zu verkraften! Saubere und „lustige“ Duschen! Etwas zu hellhörig
• Linas (10/5): Great place for the price! -
• Christian (7/5): -
• Gonzalo A (8/5): -
• Yuki (9/5): - 清潔だし、安さに対してサービスが行き届いている。 施設が古く、鍵やドアノブが壊れがち
• Edith (9/5): - Dobré vybavení a péče o hosty, lokalita, čistota Spolubydlící byli velmi ohleduplni ale stejně trochu ruší pohyb na toaletách a chodbě. Ale dveře jsou krásné takže chápu že se majitelům nechce místnosti izolovat:)
• Dmitry (10/5): - Nice place, good separation. Clean and quite Check In is good but could be smoother
• Nick (8/5): Would come again, small room for improvement. - Bathroom facilities world class for a hostel. More like a boutique hotel. Nice original layout of the room. Communication via whatsapp excellent and the cleaning lady is fantastic! What a sweet woman. Very peaceful and tiny hostel (6befs and a few private rooms). Location in beautiful area. This is w hostel for sleeping in peace and lesser for the interaction. Privacy between beds is less than expected. If you have the first lower bunk you are very close right next to the door and that could be annoying.
• Johana (10/5): -
• Alena (8/5): отличное место для 2-3 ночей, но комфорт зависит от соседей) - удобное местоположение, все чисто с современным ремонтом, есть все необходимые принадлежности для проживания
• Fatih Emin (9/5): - kitchen, bath are enough for short trip and quite clean. location is perfect, there are many great places near of hostel. I think getting keys may be more easier and owners of hostels can improve communication
• Manuel (3/5): Me robaron. - Sitio parece agradable y está cuidado Me robaron un cargador de movil por culpa de que uno de los cajones con seguridad estaba en mal estado. Reclame a los propietarios y me dijeron que no se harían cargo.
• Julia (6/5): - Toll zentrale Lage. Bestimmt bald wieder. Minimalistisch. Praktisch. Gut
• Charlotte (8/5): -
• ASG (8/5): - Cosy Little loud and only mixed rooms
• Lena (9/5): -
• Gonzalo (10/5): Mis 40 en berlin bellisimo - Todo, muy minimalista, con muy poco hicieron un monton, comodo, agradable, limpio, siempre atentas las chicas, ordenado y organizado Que no haya cocina para cocinar, un anafe, solo eso
• regine (9/5): Small hostel, well organised, clean and friendly. - Nice hostel, great location! There is a coffee shop with good coffee just opposite. Nothing really!
• Lilli (10/5): -
• Christina (10/5): -
• Jack (10/5): Fantastic area, nice and comfortable place, would definitely stay at again! -
• Ekki (8/5): -
• Michiya (7/5): -
• Stéphane (10/5): Great hostel in a great neighborhood ! - Great location. Already stayed there last year, still loving it. Still sad that there is no « real » kitchen, but it’s for regulations..
• Giancarlo (8/5): -
• Valerie (9/5): Worth every dollars - Great location in a very great neighbourhood, close very good cafe/ restaurant. The mattress for the upper occupant. It's good for a night, but more than that it's painful.
• Dávid (8/5): Enjoyable place. - Comfy hard pillows, great atmosphere, funny shower cabin, helpful staff messages. Bit worn out mattress, creaking ladder in dorm room.
• Sven (10/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): - Check in was smooth, even though I arrived late at night. Well laid out so there was privacy. Nice shower area.
• Robert (7/5): Pleasant, small hostel in a good location. - The people were friendly, both staff and guests. It’s a small place and easy to get to know people. Two toilets and two showers plus three modern sinks for 10 guests works out well. The location is close to a major U-Bahn station and there are lots of restaurants and shops in the area. Check in was a bit confusing. It’s listed as 9:30-1:00, but no one was at the place when I arrived. They were just across the street, though, so a guest let me know. There are roll down shutters on the windows and a guest wanted them down, which made the place swelter during my first night. Once they left, I was able to have a window open. Berlin has a lot of graffiti, but this part of Berlin has more. It’s everywhere and can be depressing.
• Hellen (9/5): - Cooler Dusche...Top Lage!
• Magdalena (8/5): Muy buena!! - Muy buena ubicación, a 2 cuadras del metro y rodeada de bares sobre el canal. El hostel estaba limpio y ordenado. Los baños funcionaban bien y el agua salia caliente. Tenes para hacerte cafe o té por la mañana. Los primeros dos días no tuve suerte con mis compañeros de habitación y eso lo hizo un poco incomodo. Al dormir gente arriba cada vez q suben o bajan es bastante ruidoso. La puerta de las duchas es bastante transparente, me gustaría que las tapen para tener mas privacidad.

• Vibeke (7/5): Minimal but decent hostel in Neuköln - Decent and clean hostel near public transport. Although the facilities are minimal, they are functional and clean (there is a kettle and tea, a French press including coffee, cutlery, plates, pepper and salt, toiletries, hairdryer, and towels). We stayed for 6 nights, which was a bit too long, but for 2-3 nights this hostel is a good-value-for-money option. Although the online communication with the hostel was friendly and informative, we hardly saw any staff during our stay. On the rare occasions when staff were present, they did not greet us. It felt as though only the bare minimum was done to keep the hostel running. For example, we stayed 6 nights and wanted new towels, but had to pay for them. The bathroom was clean, yet very little water came out of the showers, which is inconvenient for washing your hair, especially if you have long and/or curly hair.
• May (10/5): Great hostel great staff - The staff were lovely - especially Christine! The location / neighbourhood was awesome - right up our alley (quirky, alternative, gritty, charming, etc.). The hostel was close to the river where people would sit and have drinks in the afternoon/evening - which was fun and added to the atmosphere of the neighbourhoods. Lots of bars and places to eat around the area and some great vintage clothing stores. The room we stayed in was even better than the photos. The only things I can think of is that I didn't know there was a toilet upstairs and kept using the one downstairs - maybe a sign on the door would be helpful. Some sounds carried throughout the hostel, but to be fair, that's understandable given the charm and age of the building. It didn’t ruin the stay, just something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper or value extra privacy.
• Özgür (9/5): evimde gibi hissettim - ilgili ve sorun çözücü süper insanlardı odada klima olmaması
• Boljevic (10/5): Exceptional -
• Poulomi (7/5): Good -
• Suzanne (9/5): Superb - Good location, nice home-like property. Lock on the cabinet which is useful to keep valuables. Many amenities in the shower which was nice. Dorm was a bit smelly due to some guests keeping their shoes in the dorm. Shower switched from hot to cold, no constant temperature.
• Jeffrey (8/5): Very good -
• Evgeniia (7/5): Good -
• Claire (5/5): Passable - Very noisy street and other dorm mates were making noise until 4am
• Boo (7/5): Good - Comfy beds, big table to work on. Lockable drawer provided (with lock), small rail for clothes - both very useful. Easy to come and go. Worth staying here - overall would recommend. Showers didn't drain very well and only felt comfortable to shower in one (the other looked onto an eccentric scene of miniature toys and other storage). When I arrived, there wasn't any explanation of where things were and the stuff were quite brusque. Very loud creaky door to enter the hostel bedroom which could easily be resolved with some oil - very disturbing to have especially when you know guests will be coming and going at different times.
• Liz (8/5): Might be coming back - Very small and in the right area
• Daria (9/5): Superb - I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel — everything was great and the hostel looks very cozy. The beds are comfortable, everything is very clean and tidy, and the kitchen is well-equipped. The showers are nice, but we had some trouble with the hot water. It only lasted for about a minute before suddenly turning cold.
• Christine (6/5): Small hostel w/cozy kitchen but needs better staff attention - Small hostel with cozy kitchen area. Staff completely dropping the ball on check-in. Bedding leaves something to be desired - I've slept on more plush sailboat bunks than the mattress here. No toilet paper in the toilet. Seriously, that is the minimum that should be attended to. Absolutely no excuse.
• Sergei (7/5): The place obviously has its flaws but generally it was a good value assuming how expensive everything else is in Berlin - Pretty tiny, so didn’t really feel like a hostel at all. Definitely not a party hostel. Sleeping and kitchen/chilling zones were well separated. Even thought facilities were quite worn, it was still very clean. It’s not far from a lively area with lots of bars, so the vibe was quite amazing. As I have mentioned above the facilities were pretty worn: showers were leaking and had a very weak water flow; taps had problems with drainage; some kitchen appliances were not functioning as intended. I wouldn’t explicitly say the area is unsafe but one night I was contemplating doing a shortcut through a dark alley but just before turning in, I saw a gutted purse on the ground and decided that perhaps it is not the best idea to go there
• Polina (10/5): Exceptional - if you’re a fan of loft space and want to feel freedom while staying in Berlin you should definitely choose this hostel. I was in Berlin for exploring the city but sometimes I was catching myself thinking about staying inside for longer - that’s how good it was! and the bathroom downstairs! I’m ready to dedicate an ode to it - absolute masterpiece. thank you for having me I dream of returning here ❤️
• Aaron (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel was small and cosy, the aesthetic was clearly something the staff had put thought into, the decor looked very fresh and timeless. Everything was very clean, the kitchenette had multiple flavours of tea available (and coffee I guess but I didn't drink coffee), the staff and the other guests were all very friendly. The location was very good for my purpose and in a very beautiful part of the city, peaceful enough but with plenty of cafes and restaurants and grocery stores around. Only very minor complaints; the lock on the front door was a bit finicky (or possibly it was a skill issue), and the temperature in the dorm was a bit on the cool side for my taste.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Siiri (10/5): Amazing stay! - Would recommend this place! Perfect location, nice quiet and as a solo-female traveller felt really safe. The staff was super chill and friendly, and alltogether very helpful. I stayed for a week and it really felt like a temporary little home. Also extending the stay was super easy and at least at this time of the year, there was a lot of space and I think only 1 night all the beds were full. The location is fantastic, in the heart of Neukölln. Also there is a outdoor market every tuesday and friday almosy right when you step out of the door beside the canal. Thank you, will be coming again!
• San (9/5): Quirky, quiet hub. - The space is not staffed accept at the check in window of 930 to 1pm. I felt lucky to get in at a time when there was someone there and it was no issue that the beds were not ready. It's a small hostel pf 6 beds and 2 double rpoms so it was perfect as it felt spacious and it was definitely quiet. (except for a super brash guest who came from another planet and woke everyone up at 1am because she didn't have an adaptor to charge her phone and she had to keep the light on because she can't sleep in the dark. We graciously tolerated her drama). I had a pleasant read in the common space and the toilets and showers were adequate for my use. The bed reminded me of staying in tatami rooms in japan. Very comfortable. On Tuesdays and I think Fridays there is a open air market that has cooked food, trinkets, produce, coffee with a great vibe. I was lucky to stay on the right day and got myself some artisan cheese from heritage cows.
• Berten (7/5): Good -
• Grethel (8/5): Very good -
• Rhiannon (10/5): A lovely clean, minimalist but cosy little hostel in a great location in a lively neighbourhood. - A lovely clean, minimalist but cosy little hostel in a great location in a lively neighbourhood. Noise travels very easily so limited the feeling of privacy in the private rooms
• Xinyu (9/5): Superb -
• Cc (10/5): Exceptional - Very peaceful hostel with a tidy dorm room. The location is superb, with a lovely street market on Tuesdays and Fridays nearby, together with U Bahn station 5 minutes walk away.
• Oona (9/5): Superb - Very clean and cozy room. The hostel had a nice layout and there were sufficient toilets and bathrooms for all the guests so that you never had to wait. The kitchen is well supplied with dishes, tea kettle, etc. that you need for a short stay. Great location near the U-Bahn in a quiet residential neighborhood. The only downsides were a lack of soundproofing (could hear every noise from the bathroom downstairs, kitchen, and other guest rooms) and poor pillows.
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional -
• An (10/5): Exceptional - The place was perfect for me as a solo female travel for 2 nights. The common area and bathroom are super clean, it feels like it’s being cleaned daily or even twice a day. Checkin was smooth, location is good, and the bike rent was the icing on the cake! For a dorm, its value is definitely worth it. You have to be considerate to other people as it’s a shared place. Earbuds are highly recommended, in case someone is a snorer...
• Lasha (10/5): Exceptional - very nice
• Rafael (10/5): Everything was nice! - The girl who helped me with the Check In was very nice and helpful. The room, facilities, and location, were good value for money. I would stay there again if I travel to Berlin for a couple of days. As feedback for improvement, I’d just say that the outlet by the bed near the window, down at the bottom, is a bit far, so I couldn’t use my phone while it was charging.
• Gabriel (9/5): Superb -
• Filip (9/5): Superb -
• Kathryn (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and a large double room. Plenty of nice restaurants nearby as well as a close metro stop. Only one pillow and a twin comforter which was odd on a full bed. But I was solo so it wasn’t an issue.
• Clare (10/5): Exceptional -
• Seppe (9/5): Nice place. - I liked the feel of the place and the very convenient location with good access to several metro lines. It's called 'minimal' but it had all the commodities I needed. You do hear every step and squeak. Earplugs are recommended.
• Rai (7/5): Avoid bed on the top level. Top marks for cleanliness. - Very clean, toiletries offered, you get a whole bed area complete with clothing rack, cabinet with padlock, towels. Very responsive team. Top bed issues: the ceiling is so low you have to almost crawl around, climb up and down with your suitcase and for everything you need. If you forget something up there- it's a workout. The beds on the lower levels have a much larger space so make sure you request this. No price difference. Wish I was offered this option. I asked to change but they said it wasn't possible. Also, moving around after an evening out, climbing up to get toiletries, crawling to get PJs, etc. in low light was a pain in the ass. Main shower room is unisex and has no room door so to get dressed I had to stay in my shower cubicle and juggle my dry clothes, jump out to see in the mirror if it was okay, if not I'd have to climb up the ladder to get to my clothes if I needed change my shirt. It got tiring really quickly for someone forgetful like me.
• Yevheniia (8/5): Very good -
• Carlotta (9/5): Superb - Love the bedroom and the vibes
• Abraham (10/5): It was a great experience staying there, meet fantastic people, the crew was very helpful with recommendations of any ki - the general appearance was actually as it showed on the pictures, the experience was great nothing bad to say about it
• Vladimír (10/5): Exceptional -
• Khemtip (8/5): Very good -
• Mathieu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Francesca (4/5): Disappointing -
• Santiago (10/5): Exceptional - Minimal Hostel was probably my favorite accommodation throughout my 2 month trip. All the staff were really friendly and nice, the room is quite big and each dorm bed gets a ton of space around it. Being a smaller hostel, I also found it really easy to meet people and hangout given there's so much to do in Berlin as well. The nicest thing I'd say would be the location. It's fairly close to the U8 U-Bahn and the walk through the neighborhood is pretty lovely and feels safe as well even at night. So many cafes, restaurants, thrift stores, and Spatis nearby as well as a canal to sit down and have a beer. On certain days of the week, there's even a market at the canal with cheap produce, food, and handmade goods. It's on the more East Side of Berlin, which seemed to be the more artsy, young, and alive part of town. The East Side Gallery is about a 30 minute walk away, but the atmosphere makes it feel much shorter. Do take note the bed is a bit lower on the ground, so it may be difficult for those with mobility issues ! There also isn't a kitchen, so I think having one would've made this the perfect hostel. I also wasn't sure if the.washing machine is open to guests, but the Laundromat that fit my needs was a 17min walk away.
• Bram (9/5): Great comfi stay for a good price! - Great location, right next to great restaurant, bars, cafés and a farmer's/artisinal market! Very clean, comfi and well maintained! The plumbing of the showers and tuning of the water taps could be improved, very minor things in an otherwise excellent stay!
• Michael2006 (9/5): Superb - The hostel is very clean and organized. There is enough space in the dorms and common area. Easy check-in and luggage storage possibilities. The bathroom is located underground and resembles more of spa type furnishings. Unfortunately, there is only one toilet for the guests to use. Luckily, there was queuing needed to use it.
• Ma (10/5): Exceptional -
• Natalie (10/5): Perfect for a great value, easy & convenient stay. Perfect Location. - I just had to use the hostel for a quick shower! But it was so easy to deal with the staff even though I didn't meet them as I arrived very late. Just a very easy transactional process, no hassle. Beds looked lovely, clean and comfy. For a no hassle stay it's ideal. Bathrooms are great.. nice little touches added. Thank you. Nothing
• Collette (9/5): A great little place, a home from home in good location . This was the best hostel by I stayed in - Really homely feel to the hostel with lots of nice touches eg slippers to wear indoors, great little kitchen and seating area. Toilet right outside room and another in shower area. Two showers and somewhere to put clothes when showering. Personal hanging space and drawer with padlock for valuables. The privacy curtain whilst very pretty it did not give much privacy Didn’t have its own reception - no personal interaction. Interactions with Anne all by email.
• Laura (10/5): Fantastisch - Great hostel. Clean, quiet, had everything I needed, prompt comunication with the owner. I loved it. And I love Berlin. 7 night here I felt like home.
• Malina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lan (10/5): Excellent service. - Wonderful people working here :)
• Bo (10/5): Exceptional - the facilities were very clean and had everything you needed! the location was also very nice and convenient. the location oh the hostel was also very cool and was 5 min walk from different cafes, restaurants and bars! the staff was also super friendly!!
• William (10/5): Perfect stay. Thank you for having me. I can’t wait to come back! :) -
• Reallyonthemove (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel was stylish and comfortable. Even in the dorm the layout and furnishing gave each bed plenty of space and privacy. There was good storage for clothes and luggage. The kitchen/dining area was spacious and good-looking, there were house shoes to borrow when you left your outdoor shoes by the door, the bathrooms were sparkling clean, the location was perfect in every way, and the staff were so kind and lovely. It felt more like an airy apartment than a hostel. And I thought the price was really good, especially for such a great neighbourhood.
• Florian (9/5): Superb - The place is really comfy and cute. I would have expected a better kitchenette.
• Adele (9/5): Superb - Simple, easy and chill, comfy style, friendly host, nice roommates, love the area.. Rented a bike from the hostel, it was all good. I felt really relaxed and in a good place. Would book there again. If there was a stove to fry some eggs for breakfast, it would have been complete :D The locker didn't seem very safe, but i trust people mostly, so i wasn't worried. Makramee curtains sure look nice, however some people might prefer real curtains for more privacy. Enough nitpicking, i had a great stay. Thank you!
• Karin (8/5): Cool, good price, simple but pleasing to the eye. It feels like home - Good atmosphere, clean and warm. Great neighborhood Clear instructions to enter the apartment, respectful customers and staff. I liked the little bathroom and the big one downstairs with the showers, it looks like a sauna. Tea, towels and very clean dishes available. The locked drawer was cool but didn't look that safe to me. I would also add one more towel to the service.
• Eva (10/5): Absolutely wonderful - In the very fun and hipster district of Berlin with incredible food options. Staff were incredible and the place was so wonderfully clean. Nothing it was great
• Ethan (9/5): Superb -
• Charles (10/5): Exceptional -
• Carolina (8/5): Very good - Location is great, very well organised and minimal. Beautiful rooms and comfortable beds. The anhowers are in the basement and There was sometimes smell like mold/pipes in the house . Same for the towels they offer.
• Gulnur (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, near the metro, comfortable bed, clean bed, quiet, peaceful. I would like to have a cup of coffee in the morning. I couldn't find coffee in the kitchen.
