    Everything a hostel should be! We had a great time here and enjoyed the free walking tour (definately worth going to). The dorms were clean and roomy, with your own space to put your back and a small lockable drawer. Stay here!

    Pretty good hostel. Rooms were big, we had a balcony. Not really close to the sites, but pretty close to a metro station.

    I had a great time, the only thing i would suggest is the temperature of the showers.. too cold, and not fun having to push on every 30secs.. Apart from that the hostel was one of the best we have stayed at in Europe. Thanx for the experience.

    Nice place but very very expensive compared to other great hostels in berlin. Breakfast isn't included and there is no kitchen so you have to eat out. The only common area is the bar which means you have to spend more money to meet people. The staff were really great though and the location is...

    HIgh quality hostel. Good cafe/bar, breakfast and nioght time bar. Only small grip is that there is no lockers for your day sack but there is a safe and small lockers in the rooms for valuables.

    Excellent hostel, so cheap for everything they provide! The 5 euro unlimited breakfast is great value, doubles up as lunch and dinner. Excellent also as it is a meeting point for various pub crawls and walking tours. Staff were so friendly!

    The staff here are fantastic. I had major hassles with very inconsiderate room mates in an 8 bed dorm and the staff let me change rooms, and upgraded my room for no extra cost. The breakfast is unbelievabley good and free walking tours pick you up from the hostel. I would stay here again.

  • AdamScarlett from Australia, has 6 reviewsAdamScarlett says:

    Great hostel, 50 metres from U-bahn station, thus minutes to anywhere. Berlin is very spread out, so there isn't anywhere really central, but with fantastic public transport. Location here is as good as anywhere. Great cafe, friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend.

  • miccie from Australia, has 10 reviewsmiccie says:

    Everything was awesome, food is mega cheap in Berlin so its no biggie that there wasn't a kitchen. Good crowd, fun bar (far enough away from rooms to get a good nights sleep) and great location right across the road from metro.

    Great hostel. One of the best I've stayed in. The bar is great, was a fun way to start the night, and the hostel is close to all transport! I stayed at Wombats as well and preferred wombats, but not for any reason in particular. Circus has better common areas and a better bar but no kitchen.

    Don't really understand why this has such a high rating. I is a good place for the most part, but no common room, pay for breakfast, and kind of pricey for what you get.

    Very nice hostel-clean and an excellent location. The staff was very helpful and honest about recommendations. Not an atmosphere to just "meet people" in it's more fun if you are with a group then alone. Would recommend highly.

    Very good hostel. I only spent one night here unfortunately, but it looked very good. The rooms are comfortable and nicely decorated, and the bar looks pretty jumping. The staff were friendly as well. I will return to Berlin next year (didn't see enough of it) and this is where I will stay!
