Concept of 70s/80s kitsch DDR design done *very* well. Really impressive. Great central location by the Ostbahnhof and the N40 night bus stops right beside the building. Not much to do in the immediate area though (Berghain is next door though) so perhaps best for people who know their way around Berlin a little bit.

It is in the middle of what feels like no where, and since you are staying in a refurbished apartment building, you dont get to meet other people staying there, but the facilities were fine, just means you meet people out and about instead!

Really funky cool interior and atmosphere in Reception and with the lovely staff. Really thrilled with room, bright open and airy, liked the independant and simple apartment set up, very easy and safe to get in and out of hostle. Met great people loved the huge big lockers per person, free towels, free sheets and best of all use of a fantasticly good quality German bike for the week free of charge. Overall was really impressed, great place to stay, cheap cheerful, friendly groovy laid back people, and extremely close to S-Bahn especially convienient for getting to and from airport. With a bike or a good knowledge of Berlin's efficient train system, this is a superb place to stay!!****

perfect and very unique place in the heart of berlin. perfect to discover berlin and its surroundings. no car necessary. pretty good spot to get a tiny idea how we east germans lived before the wall came down.
