“ I loved this hostel. Though it was far away from the center of town, it was such a wonderful break from the college frat party hostel scene that pervades the Europe backpacker circuit.

“ Great hostel in a gorgeous location in the forest. A bit of a trek from the town center so maybe not suitable if you just want to party (perhaps try Wombats?). Great, helpful staff. ”

“ Positive: The staff is fantastic. Rooms are good. Good value for money. Negative: The shared bathrooms reminded us of our old locker rooms in school (kind of dark, not always hot water in the showers, and no privacy at all). ”

“ This hostel is a bit eccentric in that it is the middle of the woods in a park in Berlin. I never felt like my belongings were insecure but there were no locks on the public dorm room. Also, while in the woods may be a plus, it takes a while by mass transit to make it back to the city center. ”

“ Clean, comfortable, and very quiet! There is lots of entertainment at the hostel, and the owners are wonderful. It is quite far from the center of town, so it is the best place to go for a relaxing, calm stay. Go for a walk in the forest surrounding the hostel! ”

“ This is a good, simple, comfortable hostel. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The hostel is on the edge of Berlin, so perhaps not the best choice if you want to look around central Berlin, but a good place to relax and go hiking, while still being able to do things in Berlin if you choose. ”

“ The hostel is beautifully located in fact, very quiet and woody. But it is nowhere near the city centre and there's no direct public transport in the immediate area either. I didn't mind because I had a bike, but it might be too far out of the way for others. ”

Description of Jetpak Eco Lodge
20 minutes from Zoo Station nestled 1 block into the forest, JetPak offers bright clean rooms and truly spotless bathrooms. The large common room provides space for free 24 hour high speed internet, nightly big-screen movies, foosball or downtime on one of the many sofas. Cold beverages, free coffee and tea, a $3 breakfast buffet, and free linen are among the many amenities on offer. JetPak also provides table tennis, basketball, volleyball and soccer in their huge outdoor recreation area. Jetpak is an eco-friendly hostel. The hostel's power comes from 100% renewable sources; it is heated by a modern, wood-burning, CO2-neutral heating system; and the hostel's hot water is heated by solar panels. Waste is divided, with bottles returned to the manufacturer for re-use, food composted on-site (at a safe distance from the hostel!), and many other items are recycled. Though bus service runs 24 hours, the hostel also rents brand new german bikes for the most convenient access to the city center. Three major museums are within walking distance as well as an extensive trail system through the pristine Grunewald Forest. Come enjoy the award-winning staff, comfort and scenery at this premium Berlin Hostel. Sorry but, no Smoking inside the hostel and no kitchen facilities for guest use.
