  • vron from Canada, has 5 reviewsvron says:

    Not very central but it's near a U-Bahn and a 24-hr bus stop. About a 10 minute walk from Oranienstrasse (shops, bars/cafes) and 20-30 minute walk from East Side Gallery. There's a Turkish market along the canal on Sunday mornings that's worth checking out. The place is cleaned every morning... more

    had a great time here. Kreuzberg is a great area. clean hostel and the 6 bed dorm gives everyone a fair bit of privacy. staff were awesome with advice, but keep in mind it's not a 24hr desk.

    We really enjoyed our time here, and even stayed a couple of nights longer. Definitely stay in the 6 bed - way more privacy and great beds, also try and get the upstairs bed as its a double! Cool location for east side gallery and authentic berlin neighbourhood.

    Contrary to the scores that we have left on this, the hostel is pretty nice. The privacy offered by the curtains between beds is wonderful and if you're lucky enough to have a bed "upstairs" you get a double. The kitchen is perhaps the most basic I've come across in a hostel, but you... more

    The staff is rarely there. They are gone for most of the day and do not stay overnight. Also, the area is slow. Kreuzberg may be cool but not here. I would recommend looking for a hostel in Mitte.

    Awesome place, a bit far out of town but well worth the money. Stay in the 6 bed rather than the 4 bed as the room is enormous and very private, much more space than the 4 bed. Be careful when checking in as they are only open between certain times and is unattended otherwise. Really recommend...
