Liked: It offers really value for money. Especially if you think about how centrally located it is. The atmosphere is great, cozy and relaxed. Especially "hippie"like backpackers should love the place. It is none of these hostels with cold and technical atmosphere. Special lockers for valuables are big and free. Great!

Disliked: The carpet in my dorm and the matresses had stains, but as they weren't "fresh", that was no problem with me.

Liked: It's right in the cente of Berlin so getting to a lot of the main tourist attractions is easy. They offer a good breakfast service and it's good that you can drink your own alcohol there.

Disliked: The fact that there was only one key for a room of 9 people was a bit annoying and some of the sheets we were provided were very old and had holes in.

Liked: Good location and the map etc that you're given when you check in is helpful. Wireless signal is also very good.

Disliked: The near by club noise was not mentioned. The only avaliable hair dryer was not very good, that is when the staff could find it. The towels are too small and it would have been better if the room had thicker curtains so the it's not so light so early. Having just the one key was a bit annoying.

Liked: It was cheap

Disliked: There was a night club downstairs which was not pleasant when I was tired and wanted to go to bed early. It stays open until 5:00 and it was very disturbing. Also the staff was not very friendly. And the place was not very clean.

Liked: Loved the laid-back atmosphere, perfect location, and breakfast. The room was decorated well and the lounge area was very inviting.

Disliked: Our room did not appear to have been vacuumed before our arrival, and we would have preferred thicker curtains - the ones we had were sheer. I had exchanged emails with the staff before our arrival asking specific questions about the hostel. However, the information I was given proved inaccurate, which I found aggravating.

Liked: cheap and close to u bahn station

Disliked: my money and camara was stolen in the room. I just wondering... instead of using a public key for everyone, why they don't give everyone a key to open the door... for their convenience to steal something or...

Liked: I like the atmosphere, seemed like a really cool, hip place to stay. Everything was decently clean, its a hostel, what do you expect? but i think its worth its price. stay 3 nights or more so you can get free breakfast! totally worth it.

Disliked: rooms kinda smell a little, and there is not enough lighting in the rooms, so it looks spooky, but its pretty safe. you get a locker and stuff, but you need to provide your own lock. they play loud music in the lobby late at night. but you get used to it?
