Although it may seem Jetpak Original is located bit far from the center, it really doesn`t metter much because public transport system is very well developed in Berlin. I had no problems getting to and from hostel at any time I wanted. Especially because on weekends public transport is available...

Awsome to get out the city and into the wilderness. The surrounding forest is amazing and full of awesome dogs constantly! The place really needs to have kitchen facilities though as its a decent walk to shops/places to eat. Its a hike to get there, but well worth it.

Excellent location. However, please take into account that you will have to take the subway, two buses and walk to get there. Please choose it only if you are travelling light. However the location compensate and the people at the Hostel compensate for the troubles of getting there.

I definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to return. The location isn't the best, about a 15 minutes bus ride away from main areas in the city. Being located on a nature reserve, it is slightly tucked away in the woods. During the day, it's beautiful. At night, you have to walk there on a dirt path through dimly lit woods, but it's probably only half a mile. But once you get there, the staff are SO friendly! The common area is amazingly, with video games, foosball, movies to watch... The rooms were quite acceptable and the bathrooms were spotless. Great place to spend a few nights!!!close

It felt very secure and we were happy locking our bikes up outside not worrying about them being stolen. The distance wasn't really a problem at all: we were cycling round europe when we stopped off here, besides which it's only 10k into town and even if you aren't cycling the buses are quick and easy to use... you'll probably want to buy an all day travelcard for the u and s bahn around berlin so it's no extra cost! We got back from a club at 3am on the night buses no problem! The hostel staff were very happy to help us with transport directions and where to find things in town - in fact the first question we were asked after "have you got a reservation?" was "what sort of clubs or gigs do you like to go to?"! Although German laws meant we weren't allowed to use their kitchen (we cooked on our own gas stove instead) they offered us the use of pots, pans and plates and even said they'd wash them up for us! The free all you can eat breakfast made this place great value for money and it was by far the best place we stayed on our travels.close

I really loved this place! I didn't mind spending approx 30 minutes to get home from city centre when it was this kind of relaxing place in the middle of the forest that i got "home" to. I have stayed on many hostels so far and this is definitely one of my favorites!

The nicest people run this hostle. 10 minutes to town by bus but its in a forest. has an outta town vibe but your still in the city. video games, movies, 1 euro beer and the most helpful staff imaginable. feels like a home away from home. would highly recomend this hostel to anyone visiting berlin.
