Liked: they offered a great breakfast. the hostel is extremely good located. it was truly cheap.

Disliked: there weren't enough lockers at all, even though there were huuuge rooms! you couldn't lock the bathrooms. Despite the lofty character of the rooms there was some big lack of privacy/security.

Liked: Lovely people, comfy beds, tasty breakfasts, in a *really* fantastic place (close to U-Bahn, shops, galleries etc.), and looks pretty damn cool. Had a fantastic time.

Disliked: one of the staff was a bit rude

09 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: High quality modern feel and rooms are well equipped with lockers etc. The breakfasts are pretty good so it works out fairly good value for money. Bar is very good and busy which creates a good atmosphere.

Disliked: Reception are pretty useless and often quite rude. Standard time to check someone in seems to be about an hour and they aren't even slightly apologetic about this. It was also pretty noisy at night because people gather in the courtyard drunkenly singing etc rather than sitting inside the bar.

08 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very lively and young

Disliked: Bed linens were changed if you didn't leave something of yours on your beds, this meant that someone might take your bed if you went out for the day

07 July 2011

Liked: Free luggage room after check-out. Bike rental available. stellar location: a minute walk to a nearby u-bahn station, and a five-minute walk to a nearby s-bahn station. museums in walking distance.

Disliked: no privacy while taking a shower: anybody could just walk into the door and you are just a shower curtain away. there is a series of large rooms full of beds just lying on the floor. so in order to exit the building, you pass through many rooms filled with beds and people sleeping in it--or, you are one of them while someone else passes you by. There are some lockers available in the rooms, but more often than not, the part where you place your lock is broke so there is no point of storing any valuables in the lockers. free wi-fi available only in the lobby. The bottom line: I have stayed in a better hostel before, and I wouldn't come back to this one.

05 July 2011 Ben would recommend this property

Liked: Great bar and atmosphere. We really enjoyed ourselves even though we only stayed a couple of nights.

Disliked: At times the reception and bar seems understaffed with long wait times, also we couldn't access a locker in our room cos other people had used more than one.

03 July 2011 Charlotte would recommend this property

Liked: Fantastic bar and facilities. Tons of communal space to meet new people. Room was of hotel standard with a huge bathroom. Very comfortable stay!
