Guest Reviews
- Shane (9/5): - The showers A little far from main things
- Monika (9/5): - Sehr gute Lage. Check in digital und unkompliziert. Bin öfter in Berlin. Das OTA war das bisher beste bzgl Preis-Leistung!
Gemeinschaftsbad muss man halt mögen, war aber alles tadellos sauber.
- Tom (10/5): - The location was excellent, area is absolutely lovely. Everything was very clean and comfortable, public transport links are also nearby for easy access to the rest of Berlin.
- Andreas (9/5): -
- Terry (10/5): - Location, cost, convenience Temperature in room was too hot with no control over heating. Had to open window each night but room was facing main road so too noisy to leave open.

- 최 (9/5): 쾌적한 공간으로 방을 제공해주어서 기분 좋은 베를린 여행이었음. - 친절하고 리셉션오픈시간 외에도 영어로 통화가능했음.
룸과 주방 모두 청결하고 사용하기 편했음.
드립커피,차 제공. 무엇보다 샤워실이 공용이어서 불편할거라생각했는데 프라이빗한 공간에서 전혀 불편함이 없었음.
관광구역에서는 조금 거리가 있지만
가격대비 감안할 수 있는 거리였음.
20분마다 트램다님.
편안한 시간보내고 왔습니다. 룸이 한층에 많지는 않아 다행이었지만
복도 바닥이 조금 삐걱소리가 났음.

- Iuliana (9/5): Plăcut. O atmosferă familială. - Camera și patul au fost foarte ok. La baie foarte curat. În general destul de liniște. Bucătăria comună dotată optim și foarte primitoare. Accesul extrem de facil de la mijloacele de transport în comun. Ar fi fost binevenit mai mult spațiu de depozitare pentru bagaje.

- Marc (9/5): Drei Nächte Berlin - Ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer gebucht, dann aber sogar ein Upgrade auf ein Doppelzimmer erhalten.
Zudem waren die Gemeinschaftseinrichtungen schön sauber und wurden täglich gut gereinigt. Die Fussbodenheizung ist zwar grundsätzlich sehr gut, konnte jedoch nicht extra eingestellt werden im Zimmer, weshalb es sehr warm war. Natürlich besser als zu kalt, aber ich musste dann halt durch lüften die Wärme immer wieder heraus bekommen, was ich sonst vermieden hätte durch Absenkung der Heizung.

- Julie (10/5): Très agréable, nous reviendrons ! - Notre séjour s’est très bien passé. Les communs étaient toujours propres. Un super plan lorsqu’on voyage ! Les quipementd disponibles étaient + que nécessaire donc très appréciés !
Un gros + pour les salles de bains toujours propres, rechargées en savon, avec possibilité de changer de tapis de douche après chaque douche ! Un + pour notre confort. Peut être un tout petit bémole pour le chauffage très haut, mais nous n’avons prévenu personne, peut être que cela aurait pu être évité !

- Kai (8/5): Die perfekte, günstige und entspannte Unterkunft in Berlin. Sehr zu empfehlen. - Wir sind eigentlich immer dort, wenn wir in Berlin sind. Für ein Hostel mit Etagentoiletten und -bad, ist es sehr ruhig, sauber und günstig. Auch der Check-In ist unkompliziert und funktioniert problemlos
- Anabel (9/5): Muy recomendable - Atención excelente en la recepción, toda la información necesaria y consejos útiles. La habitación pequeña pero limpia y bien climatizada (suelo radiante!) las camas muy cómodas. La ubicación muy bien, cerca mercados, restaurantes y justo enfrente parada de tranvía. La insonorización podría ser mejor, se escuchaba el ruido del baño y de otras habitaciones, aunque el hotel no estaba muy lleno y no resultaba demasiado molesto.
- WeiteWelt (8/5): Funktional und praktisch - Funktional und praktisch. Späti (kleiner 24-Supermarkt) und nettes Frühstückslokal gleich nebenan. Freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Mit Öffis gut zu erreichen. Sichere Gegend. Uns fällt nichts ein. Waren zufrieden.
- Ligita (10/5): -
- Rubén Vara (7/5): It was okay. - The bathrooms are clean, the location is great, the room is big enough, the service is correct. You can hear everything when the neighbours (other long-stay guests) talk in their rooms, stomp on the floor above, or shout in the corridors in the middle of the night. Or when thay slam their doors while you sleep. Or chat while smoking in the yard below your window at 3 am. Nobody seems to care, so it's okay I guess.
- Kerstin (8/5): -
- Alberto (10/5): Não precisava ser melhor. - Localização, custo benefício, roupa de cama, tranquilidade e praticidade. Escadas… absolutamente compreensível.
- Agata (9/5): Bardzo dobry hostel. - Pokoje przytulne, ciepłe, łazienki czyste, z dużą ilością ręczników, bardzo miła obsługa, dobrze zaopatrzony aneks kuchenny, darmowa kawa i herbata. Świetna lokalizacja, dobra komunikacja, metro, tramwaj, sporo restauracji, kawiarni, sklepów.
- Kateryna (9/5): - Местоположение отличное,цена тоже хорошая. Персонал вежливый,ищет решение проблемы, помогает. Но общий туалет не очень хорошо. В принципе мне было ок,но если семьёй и с детьми то один туалет на 5 комнат сложно
- Katarzyna (10/5): Polecam, wygodnie, czystko, dobra lokalizacja, dojazdy, bezpiecznie, mili ludzie. - Super kuchnia i jadalnia, czysto, wszystko jest, opisane, etykietki, czysta lodówka, kawa i herbata! Nie ma. Brak minusów jak na hostel.
- Astrid (8/5): -
- Francisco (8/5): Un hostel muy recomendable. - La ubicación del hostel es muy buena ,está perfectamente comunicado en trasporte público con el centro. La zona esta llena de restaurantes,bares,supermercados y tiendas que puedas necesitar. El hostel tiene cocina donde te puedes hacer el desayuno,la cena... lo que quieras.Tienes nevera para guardar tu comida. Apesar de no tener baño en la habitación los baños comunes están muy limpios. La hora del cheking a las 15:00 h me parece muy tarde, aunque nosotros llegamos para las 11:00 y fueron tan amables de permitirnos ocupar la habitación. El chekout a las 11:00 me parece muy temprano,sería mejor a las 12:00

- Anne (7/5): Mit Ausnahme der Geräuschkulisse im Ganzen Top - Die Lage und die gemeinschaftliche Küche und Aufenthalsräume Es war zu laut. Das Haus ist recht hellhörig und die Einzelzimmer gehen alle zu einer belebten Strasse raus.
- Nancy (8/5): -
- LAURENT Matthieu (9/5): - Propre
Fonctionnel
Communication fluide avec ceux qui feraient le logement
- Peter (10/5): -
- Christiane (9/5): - Es hat alles wunderbar funktioniert.
Rewe in kurzer Entfernung.
Ich konnte wunderbar schlafen.
- Miriam (10/5): Besuch bei Freunden mit Besichtigung von touristischen Orten. Hierfür war das Hostel in der direkten Nachbarschaft der F - Schön eingerichtet und sauber
- Léa (10/5): - Accueil au top! Logement super propre. Toilettes et douches étaient tout le temps nettoyées. La cuisine était très bien organisée.
- Regina (7/5): -
- Julia (10/5): - Loved it!
So clean everywhere. Had a single room which was brilliant and stunning area, beautiful neighbourhood and right beside tram stop. Nothing 😊
- Natalia (8/5): Good option if.... - Location offered accesibility to U-bahn, Trains with a tram stop outside the door. The layout and offerings were good. Felt more intiment then other hostels. Common areas were on the ground floor.
The biggest drawback, was the creaking floors. I'm not a light sleeper and the noise level of people entering their room and using the common bathroom was very disruptive.
