Lost my key and they charged me 20 euros which I thought was a rip off but, other than that, a decent hostel.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in so far. The interiors are fantastic- high brick ceilings, wonderful spaces. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the place is rather clean (perhaps being new has something to do with that). Decent location, in the midst of the bohemian district, good for...

The doors of the hostel were open 24h without any kind of id check to let people in. Once in the hostel, anyone could easily get to the rooms hall.

The hostel was lovely and clean, in a great area of Berlin. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfy. Most staff were very helpful and very accommodating, always willing to help you out- Oscar, you were wonderful entertainment!

You have a very very nice hostel. Only one bad expirence - the pillow very too big and clumsy to sleep on :( .......maybe a mirror in the room would be nice too. But a very good expirence - we will be back !!

Right north of Mitte. Close to Alexanderplatz. Close to U-Bahn. Cool place to stay. I felt completely safe leaving my laptop there. It's got a hip-looking lobby; fits in with the rest of Berlin! Cheap too. Awesome place to stay in the best city in Europe!

Neat hostel. In a great location with lots of alternative bars/unique cafes/restaurants. The perfect distance from all of the sights, and it is really fun to be in the east. VERY safe, VERY clean, quiet. I would recommend it to any friend.

Staff were a mix of both really good and average. Breakfast is worth the 3 Euro Location is great, close to funky clubs and 10-15min walk to Alexanderplatz (or 1min to a subway station). Great value! Stayed for 8 nights

This is a first class hostel. Excellent in all respects. Free internet with 3 terminals is a real bonus also a very reasonable laundry service. Great location, good breakfast and so clean! We were thrilled to find that hire bikes were available - a great way to see more of Berlin.

On the first night, the drainage system of my ensuite bathroom was clogged and this resulted in a flooded bathroom and a semi flooded room, luckily the staff gave me another room and my stay from then on was pleasant.

Very comfortable hostel. When I was there a large group of school children pretty much owned the downstairs bar area, but it was cool anyway. Really comfortable beds, easy to get anywhere, and Oscar is cool.

Great hostel, breakfast was 3 euros for all you can eat which was great. The book swap was a bit small but a nice touch. The loby is also a bar which is very good for meeting people and having a few drinks. One of the best of the 12 hostels I've stayed in. Clean, cumfotable and no problems.
