Had a great stay at this hostel, it was in a good location and rooms were clean and spacious. Would recommend this to anybody (much better than St. Christophers down the road where we also stayed). :-)

Big nice new hostel..across the road has excellent kebabs for cheap that are filling. Internet isnt flash at the hostel, head across the road for that as well..cheaper and doesnt log out every 10 seconds. Good hostel.

This hostel is clean and well positioned, but be aware that linen will cost you nearly 8 euros and the internet is 4 euros for an hour. How can they justify these high imposts?...

Great hostel for meeting people! Loved the prime location right by the metro stop and very close to everything else in the city! Fun bar and delicious breakfast. No complaints- would definitely stay here again. Although, they could use a few more computers in the lobby (they were always busy)

Really impressive hostel. Clean, bright, spacious rooms! Would have been nice to have lockers in the room, but you can put stuff in the safe downstairs. Also great that they charge phones, iPods, cameras etc at reception!

The benches in the lobby were just awful to sit on, and the lobby needs more wireless antennas - still the best hostel i've stayed in yet! (Btw, the blonde girl in the reception is really cute)

Wow! Hostel, staff, bar and fellow travellers all amazing. I had a great time and reccommend this place to anyone. If I had a slight negative it would be the breakfast was a bit exspensive at 5 Euros (but wonderful - if not weird). Also the bar was not cheap (but fun and accommodating). Oh and... more Wow!

Big and impersonal, i dont think much value for money personally, but still a really nice hostel. there is an internet place across the road, 1hr for a euro. there are no lockers, and apparently the entire place had stuff stolen the week b4 i was there (somebody had there hands on a master key).

This hostel was the nicest I stayed at in Berlin. The staff were exceptionally friendly and the bar downstairs was rocking. The beds were clean, comfortable (as hostels go) and the bathrooms were also in great shape. It was better than most hotels I've stayed at.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Very clean and the staff was Amazingly helpful. They charged my camera and ipod batteries, put my friends pictures on a cd. The breakfast buffet for 5 euros was great. The location right at the U8 stop made it easy to get around.

Excellent hostel. Only there for one night at the end of my trip, but probably the cleanest place I've stayed in. My dorm had single beds (not bunks) and the breakfast was absolutely outstanding for a hostel. If you are in Berlin, stay here.

a great place all over, Berlin is the place to have fun and chill out with all the great side-bars and clubs, and the Circus is a great location for it all. Only gripe, (and its tiny) beware of the non-hot water in the morning, run the tap first otherwise very cold shower.. but maybe u like that!

probably the best hostel in berlin... but be sure that you made your reservation by paying rather than verbally.cause i have to stay in another hostel in my third day although i told that i would stay 3 days. but everyone can make a mistake and i'm sure this was not something intentionally done.... more probably the best hostel in berlin... but be sure that you made your reservation by paying rather than verbally.cause i have to stay in another hostel in my third day although i told that i would stay 3 days. but everyone can make a mistake and i'm sure this was not something intentionally done. rather than this,staff was absolutely excellent.location and cleanliness are perfect. no lockers in the room. it was not a problem for me but it may be for someone else.close

Best Hostel I've ever stayed in. Its located in quite a trendy bohemian area of Berlin surrounded by great places to drink and eat for every budget. The cheery staff are more than helpful and the hostel cafe and bar provide a great starting point for the night. Highly recommended!

Great location, great staff, great value. Only criticism would be the shower heads.
