Really great location. We stayed in the big room and it was nowhere near as bad as we thought it could be. There's a nice bar here and the option to have an all-you-can-eat dinner which was great! Security is great too.

Clean,safe,great position near the citycentre and s.bahn/u.bahn stations. Good breakfast and even if you have to pay 5.50 euros you can eat all you want and we also made oureselves sandwiches to take away and eat for lunch! =) Probably my best stay in a hostel! Francesca,Italy

you should not charge on internet if the traveller has his own laptop. you should have a kitchen for travellers to use and save money cooking. the beds make a lot of noise when you move, it makes impossible to sleep.

One of the best hostel I've ever stayed. I was here two years ago and still it is worth considering. The 4 person studio with the kitchen was excellent!

I only stayed 1 night but it was a very nice, modern hostel in a good location, close to Sbahn & HBF stations. Only thing was there wasn't much space to put your bags but I would definately stay again.

Stayed at BaxPax for my 2nd time, and although it's a more fun and lively place during the summer months... it is still located in downtown Berlin just minutes away from Unter den Linden and the Brandenburg gate as is filled with outgoing and interesting people to meet.

The only suggestion I would like to make is that the bar/lounge and computer room was too smokey and would of been better if there was more air for non smokers to breath.

Wouldn't want to stay there any longer than a night or two, not that there's anything shocking about the place - it's just quite uninspiring and shabby. Great staff though.

the only complaint i have is i could only stay there one night. had the best sleep there, staff seem like they actually want to help you. not the most intimate hostel, but very nice. would happily recommend it for a comfortable night or two sleep. however don't know how you'd go if you didn't...

At first the idea of a dorm with so many people sounded awful but it ended up being a great way to meet a lot of people. Lack of kitchen and some issues with using the roof top terrace were a little annoying.

nice location, cleanliness, and prices (of the room, because the sheets are an extra, as the breakfest, and dinner, and everything!) a very good option, and most likely, a place to go when I return to Berlin, that's, probably, the best city i've ever been...

It's not easy to sleep in the room with 30 people, because there is always someone coming and/or going, but it's good and cheap for a couple nights...
