Great value for your money. Well-maintained and modern place, with super comfortable beds! Good location right near an S-Bahn stop but not noisy. The atmosphere is fun, but it wasn't very social when I stayed. Don't pay the €3.50 for breakfast though--there are lots of cute and CHEAP cafes if you walk towards Friedrichstraße.

great place to stay with a great location. only problem with it was the dorm rooms were rather awkward. they were giant open air rooms that were quite noisy with people coming in at night. however the social/bar area was great and i had a wonderful time staying there. if you dont mind somewhat shaky sleeping situations then i would recommend you stay there....

Very close to a metro, however, it has a metro closer than the one stated on the website. No kitchen facilities and breakfast is 3.50 euros until noon. Bedrooms are large. Showers are not very private however you can work around this if you bring a towel big enough to put over the glass door. Free luggage storage and free wifi in the common area so pretty good value for money.

It's a good backpackers, the people at the reception are very helpful and speak good english. the rooms are quite big with a lot of beds in there. Good thing is there are no bunk beds :) But the place itself its quite new and well looked after.

I am a 23 and male who is traveling alone. That being said, the bar is quite loud pretty much all the time and there are pretty much always people there. If you dont like this type of atmosphere, I dont recommend staying here. If you do, which I do, this is a great place to stay because its easy to meet a lot of people. The hostel is LARGE so the staff are not that helpful, but the location is great, within walking distance of everything.

The rooms in this place are pretty big so there is plenty of room for your stuff. The bunks are a little dodgy though. The first one I slept on looked like it would fall down on the person below and they squeak every time you move. There are only a few bathrooms on each floor and they share a shower and toilet so in the morning if you just need to use the toilet you have to wait for people to finish in the shower. The place was fairly clean and the free wi fi was great. The location is pretty good and close to metro.

Good location, short walk from railway station. Staff very friendly and helpful - eg lot of guests staying ahead of the Berlin marathon so an early breakfast was arranged. Comfy bed, locker, late bar, internet.... all is good!

The Location is amazing and transport is easy. Do the 12Euro walking tour, its a must and Terry Brewer knows it all. It says 6hrs but we walked for 9hrs! Staff friendly and place very clean, beer is cheap!
