“ 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 ”

“ 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. ”
