It was near 3 UBahn and SBahn stations good and quick connection to Tegel Airport, great club with live music next door (Tacheles). Great way to meet people, good money's worth for breakfast, no queuing for bathrooms. Nice, friendly and helpful staff. Great Hostel

A really good hostel that I would stay in again, a bit lacking in character or charm but then it is in an office block! Could have used a bit more light in our room as it was very dark even with the ceiling light on and curtains open. Bar is great - open 24 hours and drinks were cheap with a good variety. Felt secure and staff were helpful. Location is central but don't be fooled into thinking this is always a good thing - you'd be better of staying somewhere like Kreuzberg where there are a range of cafes, shops, bars and resteraunts, rather than being close to the tv tower and not much else! However note that there is NOT a guest kitchen at this hostel as we had expected - you will not be able to cook your own meals here, though they said guest could use the microwave behind the bar....

I did not like too many things.. Hostel is in good location, but that's it.. The rooms are nothing special, and the worst things are the toilets, just 3 of those in one floor with 17 rooms.. And toilets were not so clean, not to mention not having toilet paper when I returned in hostel from night out.. For this amount of money, I expect more.

Very clean. 2mins from s-bahn and 5-10 mins walk to unter den linden. could do with a few more showers/wc on floor relative to beds.

This hostel has an amazing location (near the S-Bahn station and all the major sightseeing sites), friendly and helpful staff, and was the best stay I have had in Europe. Even when I forgot my camera charger there, they offered to mail it back to me without hassle! you MUST stay here if you are in Berlin! I would go back in a heartbeat!
