Reviews of Hostel Aloha

06 April 2011 Michael would recommend this property

Liked: Fun place to meet people, great staff, overall great time here!

Disliked: No locks on bedrooms so had to get locker in order to feel safe with valuables. They claim they have never had problems with theft though.

05 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff was extremely helpful and spoke German, English and Spanish. The inside of the hostel was very clean and the free breakfast, guest kitchen, wi-fi and sheets on the beds help to save money. Additionally, the Hostel was very clean.

Disliked: I did not have any trouble but only one toilet/sink and two showers per section could be a problem.

05 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff was helpful, warm, and accommodating. While the building looks run down from the exterior, this is because it is a 'listed' property that has survived the war. Accordingly, the government prevents the owners from modernizing the appearance of its public areas. The hostel itself is very modern, has clean bedding, a decent breakfast, warm, powerful showers, and plenty of computers for easy Internet access. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Disliked: Absolutely nothing.

Liked: This would easily be the best hostel i have ever stayed at. such a chilled atmosphere, very clean, not noisy, great bathrooms, kitchen, loungeroom. The staff are so helpful and absolutely lovely. Excellent place if you are traveling by yourself, i made some awsome friends here i continued to travel with. Theres computers with free internet and free wireless, free breakfast, loads of movies to watch in a massive projector screen in the loungeroom. Very safe area and very close to metro stations and only one station away from alexanderplatz. i wanted to live in this hostel!

27 March 2011 Natalie would recommend this property

Liked: Really friendly and helpful staff. Good location-easy to walk to most places or, if you're feeling lazy, not far from a U-bahn. Great common area to meet other people and watch DVD's. Provided tea, coffee etc throughout the day. Very secure location. Provided free internet.

Disliked: It was a bit tricky to find as there was no external sign. Also, the stairway in the building it was situated in smelled of wee

22 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Friendly staff

Disliked: Entrance to the building was very old and dirty, but the actual place was clean and organized.

22 March 2011 Francis would recommend this property

Liked: Everything. Great staff, great facilities, great atmosphere. The living room which more or less doubles as a cinema is a great area to relax in and meet the other people staying in the hostel. Wifi and laptop access is a bonus too. Don't let the slightly dodgy staircase put you off!

Disliked: Nothing really. If I was going to be picky, maybe another toilet/shower room would be useful.

21 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I haven't stayed in hostels a lot but I would say Aloha is not quite like a hostel. It really feels like home. Staff is super-friendly, pretty much everything is free, it is a minute away from U-bahn and the chill-out zone is really chill. I believe it is the best option to stay in Berlin. The staff are really caring with your problems as well. They also lead you to free tours and pub crawls, to get you acquainted to the city, fast.

Disliked: No table to dine on, so little smoking section, breakfast is weak (but yeah it is free), beds are a little uncomfortable and they were having some technical issues with the video projector. However believe me, none of this is really a matter.

20 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Disliked: Nothing to complain about!

17 March 2011 Johan Jacob would recommend this property

Liked: Almost everything about the hostel was excellent. I cant mention enough how good Marianna and Michelle were. Thanks guys.

Disliked: I really liked everything about the place other than the entrance which was a bit smelly, but it wasnt the fault of the hostel

Liked: Staff is cool

Disliked: Nothing at all

14 March 2011 Tommi would recommend this property

Liked: Good place to meet people, just the right size. Breakfast was good. Staff was really helpful and even gave me a free beer! I really liked going to Kaffee Burger (the club) downstairs. About 4 good restaurants in 1-3 minutes walking distance.

Disliked: The hostel is great but some customers are not - they either didn't want / couldn't talk, or watched series/movies at the common room. If you ask me, common room would be better without the video projector. And although they say that they don't accept big groups, you can always make multiple reservations. This is why during my 8 day stay there were about 2-3 groups of 4-6 people. Hostel Aloha is still the best hostel I've been to!

Disliked: There was nothing to dislike.

14 March 2011 Jason would recommend this property

Liked: I enjoyed the releaxed atmosphere, amazingly clean,staff are really friendly and helpful and fast wi-fi. There is also a TV room, with a selection of films to help the body recover from crazy nights out. It's in a good location, as berlin is so big, its pretty much easy commuting distance between all places. There is a brilliant takeaway closeby too!

Disliked: Just the front door to the building, decorated in graffitti, but its whats on the inside that counts!

Liked: the staff was really nice and friendly, they help us with everything we needed, also the hostel was always really clean and nicely decorated.

28 February 2011 Marc would recommend this property
