Liked: Aloha hostel feels like staying at a close friend's house, rather than an impersonal chain. The staff were exceptionally helpful and I really enjoyed the character of the place.

Disliked: Being four flights up with no lift isn't ideal, however "Pedro" carried my ridiculously heavy luggage up by himself, which was awesome.

20 July 2011 Sarah would recommend this property

Liked: i really enjoyed my stay at hostel aloha and would highly recommend other travelers to stay here. The kitchen and lounge room is a great place to meet new people and the staff were very helpful and friendly. There is a very handy night shop just next to the hostel with 80 cent beers and lots of restaurants close by.

Disliked: nothing

20 July 2011 Nuala would recommend this property

Liked: The location turned out to be a pretty cool area- lots of street art and really nice but affordable restaurants, as well as some quirky shops. Its also got a 24hr nightshop just nextdoor and really close to the metro. The hostel itself is homely, I really liked the communal areas like the livingroom with all the bean bags and the big projector for watching movies. It has everything you need- free Internet, clean beds, hot showers etc.

Disliked: when my boyfriend and I arrived we actually thought we had been scammed and the hostel didnt exist because the door looks like the entrance to a squat! There's graffiti all over it and the only sign telling you that there's a hostel inside is a tiny buzzer to the right (like you have for an apartment). But once you get in and go upstairs to aloha it's fine so don't worry!

Liked: It´s a real hoStel, where you can feel in home! You can make your food, free and good internet, no comercial maps and information, no drinks to sell. You can meet people at the kitchen or room, drinking a beer or a tea (there is free frezeer for your beers and foods). The bathrooms are big, like the roons. The only thing you have to pay, if you want, is the locker, but I didn´t feel I needed.

Disliked: My room was noisy and with much clarity.

17 July 2011 Aaron would recommend this property

Disliked: Nothing

16 July 2011 Alan would recommend this property

Liked: Great character and staff. I loved the atmosphere here and they seemed to be very social. I wasn't feeling great while there so I didn't want to do any partying but it seemed like you could meet people there and make it happen if you wanted.

Disliked: nothing really. I guess the building is old and looks bad but I think that just adds to the charm. Also if people are being loud in the hostel you can hear them in the rooms easily. So if they party you can't sleep. But if you can you should be partying with them!

Disliked: no problems

15 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel is abosolutely great. As of yet i have not been to a better hostel like it. In fact, it's better than the few hotels i've been to in Europe! Unless you're an extremely fussy travellor (in which case you should be in a top hotel, not in a hostel), then you can't go wrong staying at Aloha Berlin!

Disliked: The fact that didn't tell me how good they were!

Liked: Everyone working at the hostel was amazing. They showed us the best routes and to the best sites, arranged tours if you wanted, arranged pub crawls etc. The rooms were clean and the bedsheets very soft. Location was great, close to food and Ubahn. Also easy to walk to many sights.

30 June 2011 Mikel would recommend this property

Liked: Great location, Great staff: Arthur, Simon and Roxanne were some of the nicest and most down to earth people we met on our trip. The city of Berlin is great in itself, but staying at Aloha made our experience that much better, simply the best hostel i have stayed at thus far. Arthur even made pancakes for breakfast one morning and also threw a great party

Disliked: That our schedule would not allow us to stay there longer...

29 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was one of the best hostels I have stayed at on my entire trip in Europe. The staff was awesome and made you feel welcome and were always up for hanging out. It had great character and the location was about as good as you could ask for in Berlin. It was always spotless too and they had breakfast for us in the morning!

Disliked: I felt that there could have been a bit more security. Locks on the doors into each individual room or lockers in the rooms. That was my only complaint, otherwise awesome place to stay.
