Liked: It was in a good location to explore Berlin, with good access to S-Bahn, tram and bus, but still in a quieter and more upmarket area than some other the other hostels in Berlin. It was not a party hostel, although plenty of people were drinking and having a good time, it was a good place to come back to and rest at night.The staff could sometimes be very 'direct', but that's the German way, and they were all very friendly and helpful. I liked the fact that all of the essentials were included in the price, which is not always the case in European hostels. The bedding and some others required a deposit, but was only 5 Euro, tea and coffee was free all day. Breakfast was cheap and basic (Bread, jam, nutella, chesse), but there were so many options in the area, we always skipped it. Beer was around 2.50 for a large glass, which was reasonable.The room was generally very clean, as were the bathrroms. There are around 6 private bathrooms with toilet on each floor, these were always clean, had good hot water and never had to wait. It is a very secure hostel, with security doors at the main bar area and then again key card access to your room.
Disliked: The mattresses were thin and were not very comfortable as there was metal bar across the middle which you could feel while in bed. The pillow was also worn out and 'lumpy'.We noticed a number of people, including one of our group, had trouble using the key card for the security door. This was easily fixed by asking at reception, but could be annoying, especially as it was obviously a recurring issue.

Liked: Incredibly good value, great location just 5 mins walk away from one of the main Berlin stations with shops and only 15/20 mins walk to Brandenburg Gate. Free WiFi, was a free weekday breakfast promotion for November, free maps and free lockers in rooms (with €10 lock deposit). All in all a great place!
Disliked: Mattresses maybe a tad thin but decent sized beds nonetheless. Only complaint would be the no drinking in the rooms rule, but also understandable with neighbours located nearby, and bar downstairs was pretty good value and decent atmosphere.

Liked: Overall great! Stayed in the mega dorm, the bathroom and rooms were clean, mega dorm had its own kitchen and small common area which was nice. Rooms and lobby had lockers but you have to use a padlock, which is no problem since they let you borrow one by leaving a deposit. Close to the metro station and only a 15 minute walk to Brandenberg Tor. Chill atmosphere; if you wanted to socialize with people, you could at the bar; if you wanted to be a recluse, you could chill on your bed without too much problems with noise.
Disliked: Wifi doesn't really work in the room with the beds, but it did work in the common area of the mega dorm, so it wasn't too much of a hassle. Also, not a lot of outlets
