Guest Reviews
- Marietta (5/5): -
- Pablo Nicolas (10/5): - Todo lo que necesitas en Berlín. Eso sí, con cero lujo o confort extra.
Buen precio y buena ubicación. Es rústico pero muy funcional. El elevador estaba roto. El personal sarcástico y arrogante
- Jose (9/5): -
- luis alberto (5/5): - No me gustó no hay recepción.
- Sobhy (4/5): -
- António (8/5): -
- Omji (8/5): - Great location and clean. There are small lockers that are free but need a coin to use. I simply put my stuff in a locked suitcase and that worked fine. The showers where i stayed were the beach style push to activate kind, where i had to keep pushing the button every 5 seconds to get it to stay on.
- Ayten (9/5): - Tesisin konumu çok iyiydi. merkeze yakın ve yürüyerek bir çok yerini gördüm. ilk defa hostelde kaldım. fakat çok temizdi. birçok otelden daha temizdi hatta. tuvalet ve banyo özellikle. gidecek olanlar gönül rahatlığı ile tercih edebilir. güvenli de.
- Teke (7/5): -
- Kelly (9/5): - O quarto é muito amplo, super silencioso e estava limpo e organizado. Os aquecedores funcionaram super bem. Apenas do chuveiro, que caía água concentrada mais no meio.
- cw (7/5): It was a good stay - Elevators work and lock out when needed no a good idea
Service needed on lift needed
- Johnny (8/5): -
- Рябец (9/5): - Поруч з метро, чистота в кімнаті, та санвузлі Персонал побачила тільки зранку. Не зрозуміло чи могли брати рушники
- El Hijazi (7/5): -
- Mariia (8/5): -
- Stephanie (1/5): Horrible lugar - Horrible lugar Al llegar nadie nos atendió, dejan un mensaje por acá.
Las instalaciones feas
- ahmed (5/5): -
- Gary (7/5): - In a good location. No parking for my bike.
- Lea (8/5): -
- Mehedi (6/5): So so - The shower door and toilet door was not in good condition, it felt like while opening or closing it may break
- Adriana (8/5): -
- Sam (8/5): -
- Vanhala (7/5): -
- Muhammad (10/5): -
- Christian (6/5): - Die Lage. Sauberkeit und Ausstattung haben in keiner Weise dem hohen Preis entsprochen. Ein Dachflächenfenster ließ sich nicht richtig schließen (Griff defekt).
- Cömert (10/5): -
- Klaudia (9/5): -
- Björn (8/5): - Zugang super easy Nachtruhe wird leider von den Gästen nicht eingehalten.

- Prabodhan (7/5): Excellent location - The room was very clean and tidy. The location is excellent with line U6 and M10 tram within 5 minutes of walking. There is a bar right outside the hostel. The check in process is automated and smooth. The staff were also friendly and helpful. The bathrooms could be better. You can rent a towel for couple of bucks. The toilets did choke up a couple of times if you don’t flush regularly. The lockers need €1 coins to unlock, but you can take it back.
- Amarbayasgalan (10/5): Very good , good staff and view clean - I like it Shower wasnt hot water
- Matilde (8/5): - The bathrooms were nice, everything was clean. The environment felt safe and nice. Elevator available for luggage No curtains on beds so not a lot of privacy.
- Nataša (9/5): -
- Liudmyla (10/5): -
- Silvio (6/5): - Posizione strategica per i miei impegni a Berlino, vicino alla metro. La colazione non è inclusa. Il letto è situato su un soppalco con il tetto molto basso. Il divano è fatiscente, sarebbe meglio coprirlo. In bagno non ci sono shampoo né bagnoschiuma.
- wingcastles (9/5): Ottimo - A 200 metri da tram e metro. Con un paio di negozietti. Figo figo. Assoluta mancanza di personale in carne ed ossa ma va bene per risparmiare
- Martín (8/5): Cómoda habitación - Tenía una cama muy cómoda, todo limpio, cerca del metro y de paradas de buses. Es un ingreso autónomo, y justo ese día habían hecho cambio de horario estacional en europa y no lo habían actualizado en el sistema, por lo que al check in terminó siendo a las 16 hs y no a las 15 hs como es el anuncio. No respondían al número de contacto para resolver este problema.
- Beatrice (8/5): esperienza nel complesso molto bella, per i soldi che abbiamo speso eccezionale si potrebbe migliorare solo un pochino l -
- Stroscio (8/5): -
- Gaultier (1/5): - D'après les réponses automatiques fourni, impossible d'accès après 23h, je m'inquiète et demande une annulation gratuite qui m'est refusé et ensuite quand un humain se met à répondre (une fois que le mal est fait) bah on peut accéder après 23h ! Mais j'avais déjà assuré les devant, fin bref vous êtes mauvais et les réponses automatiques à revoir ! Encore une je vous remercie pas !
- Beata (8/5): - Super Lage, komfortabel,sauber
- VISA HUANCA (8/5): - Falta seguro en las duchas, mi padre se bañaban y una mujer entro ya que no pudo cerrar la puerta.
- Liesa-Marie (3/5): Don’t go here - Only the location and the outside Everything pretty much, the room was dirty, mold grew in the bathroom, the faucet didn’t work properly and the bed was covered in someone else’s hair

- Sobhy (5/5): -
- Yap (1/5): -
- Zakaria (10/5): Notation - Tout RAS
- Khurram (7/5): Overall a good stay for short trip - Clean No reception
- Denny (2/5): - - - nicht sauber und laut
- Schlechter Kundenservice, es wurde nicht auf meine Belange eingegangen - keine Lösungsvorschläge oder Kompromisse
- cihan coskun (10/5): - alles
- Mike (6/5): - Spät Check In sehr einfach Nur 1 Dusche und 1 Klo für die ganze Etage?
- Magita63 (9/5): Séjour très agréable - Très joli cadre, chouette ambiance, à 2 pas du métro (littéralement), quartier calme, chambre et sdb propres. Pas de personnel, check-in sur la machine automatique. Manque d'un peu d'humanité, seul point négatif.
- Juan Manuel (8/5): -
- Matthew (6/5): - I liked that it was cheap. Is in a fantastic area as well No staff around to help. Had to help someone get checked in on one of my nights otherwise would have been stuck outside all night.
Very little events on to spur community up take like most hostels.
- Oleksii (4/5): - Розташування Все дуже старе. Не було мила біля умивальників
- Perial Dupont (9/5): Das Zimmer war unglaublisch schön. -
- Bianca (8/5): - Tudo a disposição, andares isolados, ótima localização
- Neira (9/5): -
- Workas (5/5): Ehrliches Feedback - Self Check in und die integrierte klassische Berliner Kneipe sind ein großer Pluspunkt zum Besuch dieses Hostel. Leider sind die Sanitäranlagen sehr heruntergekommen die Sensoren reagieren kaum bis gar nicht.
Und es gibt keine Ablage innerhalb der Dusche.
Für einen Abend nach einer durchzechten Nacht durchaus okay aber nicht zum regulären Urlaub.
- Angela (7/5): -
- Marina (8/5): . - La ubicación cerca del metro y del centro histórico. Para cada planta solamente 2 duchas. Los baños no estaban limpios. Entraba mucha luz durante la noche.
- bajrami (4/5): -
- Bartosz (9/5): - Standard i lokalizacja w porządku. Miejsca wspólne czyste. W pokojach szafki - (do użycia potrzebna jest moneta jedno euro).
- Marcel (7/5): - Sie könnten mehr Leichte Sprache machen War etwas umfangreich mit der Registerung
- kronmöller (7/5): -
- Bernd (7/5): - Die Ruhe in der Nacht. Toiletten waren unsauber.
- Natallia (8/5): -
- Paula (9/5): - Excelent location. The biergarten on the courtyard was an unexpected plus. Very comfortable beds! No window blinds or courtains in the room, so it was completely lit up by the sun as early as 5am
- Marmaduke (9/5): - Great full marks
- Seila (8/5): -
- Leopoldo (7/5): -
- kalk (7/5): -
- Leonie (9/5): Bequeme und angenehme Unterkunft - Die Lage ist Top! Sehr Zentral (und für uns die optimale Wahl, vor allem weil wir für die Boheme Sauvage im Ballhaus auch in Berlin waren :)), diesmal waren wir in einem der Zimmer unterm Dach, die sind sehr geräumig und die Betten sehr bequem! Der Check-in funktioniert sehr bequem und voll frei von Personal. Es ist schade das es Vorort kein Frühstücksangebot gibt und es werden pro person nur ein kleines Handtuch (zusätzlich keins für die Hände) gestellt, weshalb es wichtig ist bei Bedarf sich diese selbst mitzubringen.

- Fadi (4/5): - My stay at this hostel was extremely disappointing. It honestly felt more like being in a prison than a place to rest. The noise levels were unbearable, and other guests showed no respect for anyone trying to sleep, making it impossible to get proper rest.
There seemed to be no enforcement of rules—everything that should have been prohibited was allowed. I had specifically booked a non-mixed accommodation, but there was still mixing between men and women, which was not what I expected or agreed to.
Additionally, the check-in time is at 3:00 PM, which is very inconvenient. My flight arrived at 8:00 AM, and there was no flexibility to enter earlier or even rest after a long journey.
Overall, I would not recommend this hostel to anyone looking for comfort, respect, or basic organization.
- Pablo (2/5): Centrico pero horrible para dormir - La ubicación, cerca del centro y con buen servicio de transporte.
Colchón cómodo No hay recepción, se hace muy impersonal. Al entrar nos perdimos y no sabíamos la planta a la que ir ni nada, mal señalizado todo.
Al lado del hostal hay como una especie de salón de bailes y durante la noche hasta las 4 de la mañana se escuchaba la musica sonando fuerte dentro de la habitación. Además, las cortinas son muy finas y a las 7 de la mañana estaba todo iluminado imposibilitando dormir.
Las paredes no aislaban el sonido ni las ventanas.
Los baños compartidos bastante pequeños (2 por planta y habían muchas habitaciones) y mal cuidados, el jabón de manos no funcionaba. En vez de poner papel o un secamanos habían toallas comunitarias, muy poco higiénico.
Reservamos una habitación para dos personas, las camas estaban separadas y se notaba que no habían reformado la habitación para ello, era una antigua habitación de literal con dos camas y 4 taquillas.
Pusimos el cartel de “No entrar a la habitación” y aún asi entraron
- Livia (8/5): - Self check in
- M (10/5): - El auto check in Nada
- Luca (9/5): -
- Juan (6/5): -
- Ai Linh (8/5): -
- Anais (10/5): Un très bon séjour dans cet hotel - L’établissement est calme et pratique. Accessible simple. Le fait que la nettoyeuse n’est pas changé nos serviettes alors qu’on les a mis au sol comme indiqué et mis sur notre porte la pancarte. Que le sèche cheveux soit cassé avant même utilisation.
- Michael (10/5): This was absolutely value for money - Fresh bedding and the lovely service from the reception staff. Very helpful gents! Everything was good. It was beyond my expectations
- Maria (5/5): - Η τοποθεσία ήταν βολική. Το δωμάτιο δεν είχε ώρα διαρρύθμιση, το πάτωμα ήταν βρωμικο κα υπήρχε υγρασία σε πολλ σήμερα στους τοίχους.
- Giovanna (8/5): - Bem localizado, perto de transporte, quarto confortável! Banheiro um pouco longe do quarto
- Gerald (10/5): -
- Ivana (7/5): Tornerei anche subito. - Posizione ottima. Check in semplice e pratico. Spazi sufficientemente confortevoli. Stanza e bagno pieni di luce. Il lavandino non scaricava bene. Sembrava avesse lo scarico occluso. Abbiamo lasciato un biglietto e lo abbiamo detto alla signora delle pulizie. Però nessuno è intervenuto a risolvere. Ecco, migliorerei la gestione del bagno.
- Ezequiel (7/5): - No hay personal- NO HAY COCINA
- Bernadette (9/5): Empfehlenswert für einen Kurzzeitaufenthalt - Sauber, ruhig, einfacher Check-In, tolle Lage Keine Möglichkeit, die Fenster im Schlafzimmer zu verdunkeln.
- Huang (7/5): -
- Cincura (8/5): - Sehr schön
- Moyou (8/5): - Emplacement proche des transports, literie très confortable, cuisine bien équipée, ensemble bien propre Rien de négatif, peut être un peu bruyant les soirs de week-end mais nous étions au 5eme étage donc pas de souci !,
- Arttu (7/5): -
- Sângelo (8/5): - Próximo a tudo , bem central Poderia ter uma limpeza melhor nos banheiros
- Gabriela (10/5): - Cerca del centro y de paradas de transporte. Cómodo, buenas instalaciones y buen desayuno. Muy recomendable.
