Liked: I was only one night in this hostel in the 6bedroom but it is a great hostel to stay. Helpfull staff and are giving information about the neighboorhood. The neighboorhood Ehrenfeld has a lot of cafes, restaurants and bars. The ubahn is opposite the hostel and you reach the city center within a few minutes. The beds are great and it's very clean.

Disliked: the only problem was the big noise from the street but Germany won the 1/4 finals of the Worldcup Soccer so I guess that was the reason why there was a lot of noise/people/crown on the street.

Liked: A great place to stay. really nice staff that speak english, cheap drinks in the bar, great location with pubs and clubs up the street but it's not very noisy at night in the room. U bahn right at the doorstep, and really clean and tidy. just nice and the price was right. I'd stay there again.

Customer review

12 May 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I had a situation with a "roomate" who invited a guest, so suddenly there were 5 people in a 4 bed room. Then they proceeded to smoke crack at 3am in the bathroom trying to cover the chemical smell with cigarettes, so I got up and left the room and waited in the common room / guest kitchen until the staff came in at 7am. BUT this is where the bad ended, the staff was extremely helpful with the situation and went way above and beyond to make it right for me. I was offered a room all to myself for my remaining nights, I was offered breakfast (I did not accept because the room to myself was more than enough) I was also given the laundry key and detergent free. The manager personally came up to apologize and assure me that they had called the police. They also quickly changed the door code, which I thought was very proactive of them. They did everything possible to make up for something that was not even their fault. I would highly recommend this hostel and I may even return again...
