the social area is very cool, confy sofas nice atmosphere and a cool (if expensive) bar. however the rooms and bathrooms were a shambles. none of the rooms had room numbers so after eventually finding our room we had people constantly walking through looked lost and confused, was pretty much 'find an empty bed and claim it'. there were only two showers per sex (men and women) which had no doors or locks, literally just a curtain in the bathroom, little unnerving. was a good location and the staff were awesome, just need some room numbers!

Really liked this place. nice common area with a good feel to it. Great place to meet people. Big hostel but not too crazy or anything. Good breakfast, great staff, cheap laundry, full bar, outside patio. Quite clean for a hostel. Great place. would not even look at other hostels if i came back hear. take the free city tour, its great... Check out the combo Art Gallery/bar just down the street, its awsome...ask reception. Enjoy Berlin!

The patio area can get really loud at night even though the signs in the hostel say you cant be out there after 10pm, but people still are...even the staff. There arent curtains on the big dorm windows so bring an eye mask and some ear plugs and youll be set. Great location and plenty of things to offer.

There were very spacious dorms and comfortable beds, nice showers. However the staff, although they were very nice, were not really helpful. There were usually two or three of them drinking or smoking in the yard and then one helping check in customers, meaning that there was always a long line to check in, ask any question, borrow a spoon, etc. All but two of the nights I was here I was woken or kept up by singing and shouting in the courtyard between 3 and 8am. And then at 8am the hammering and drilling noises started.

Location, atmosphere and the stuff were all great. The breakfast cheap but boring. Really nice beds with large pillows. :)

The whole idea to design a hostel like The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is terribly funny and fantastic!! I love this book, so I enjooyed all the little hints, especially the "Don't panic!" sign in the reception area. So keep going, Cheers!

I liked the theme, and the breakfast in the morning. It was also cool that there were walking tours starting at the building.

The hostel is really great, clean and it is located in one of the bests parts of Berlin. In my opinion, it should have more bathrooms.
