No lockers in room is an issue. Most staff were nice, but you had to be lucky. A couple of the girls were really unfriendly and unhelpful. Room stank of vinegar when we first arrived. Floor boards lifting and drain blocked in shower.

Nice hostel and very clean. You do have to pay for the sheets and you can't get on any other floors but your own which is a pain if you are trying to meet up or hang out with people.

Great Hostel. Close to everything. Showers weren't the best though - the timer system gave you about 8 seconds of water before you have to start it again! but would definately stay again.

Great location, easy walk to the main attractions and shops. No lockers in the dorm rooms which was a bit of a concern. Also, the common room was their bar so you felt like you had to buy drinks from them.

A very nice atmosphere, especially at the bar. The location is central to a lot of things (pub crawls, walking tours), and the area is very safe. Not too loud. The showers are a little strange as others have mentioned. Very secure. The internet is slightly pricey.

The hostel is in a good location, close to all the sights, but also the main tourist area. There are more interesting areas to stay in Berlin. Everything costs extra - breakfast and internet are ridiculously overpriced. Most staff were friendly, and the showers were pretty good.

The rooms were a little messy and the toilets were filthy. The showers were slightly annoying because you had to press the button every 10 seconds to for the water. But overall pretty good, you couldn't get any more in the centre of town!
