Very nice room with big windows looking over trees. But the furniture in the room was very uncomfortable. Overall I had a good experience, things were clean, staff friendly, breakfast tasty.

Staff was very friendly and helpful, but I ended up in a pretty dirty room. It looked like someone had been living there for months. Trash everywhere and a slight smell. I didn’t rate it lower because the overall building was nice and the cost was so cheap. Plus, I might have just gotten unlucky with my room. Definitely a convenient location with lots to do around.

I booked this place not expecting much. It was so cheap but it ended up being very clean and beds were comfy. The rooms have a private toilet and shower, so you don't have to go out of the room everytime. The only thing I would complain about, the shower, the one in our room had no pressure and the drain was really smelly. But it did the job.

Not recommended
The price was okay, and there are many public transportation options directly next to the door, but the hotel is awful. They gave us a room on the back side, directly facing a building site. Workers were there the whole time, and there were no curtains. So no privacy at all. The room is also super small for 2 persons. I would never book a room there and I also do not recommend it.

Note, this is not a hotel, it is a hostel, but apart from other hostels you are not allowed to bring your own food. Rooms are clean and sterile, sparsely furnished with no TV. Their business concept is to charge for everthing you normally get at a hotel, shampo, conditioner, safe etc. they even charge for storage of your luggage. Add 10-20 € and choose a real hotel, you may end up with the same bill, a more friendly and cosy environment without strict house rules and bad jokes on the soap dispensers (yes, they provide soap, but that’s about it).

Hi Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, you are correct we are a hostel at heart but we also offer fully equipped private rooms and even apartments. When booking a bed in a dorm some of the extras aren't included in the price but can be rented or bought separately. That helps keep it cheap for those who bring the extras with them. We hope you had a great time in Berlin and wish you the best in you future travels. Kind regards,

Get better
Positives: - Clean room and bed. - separate shower and toilet in the room - very good wifi connection - spacious common room - central - 2 plugs in each bed Negatives - Asking for money to leave your luggage is very unusual and bad for hostel’s reputation. This is not a tiny hostel needs to milk the customers to survive - whatever they cook in the restaurant the whole entrance smell burnt oil which is very annoying

5* - book if a solo traveler or group of friends
Stayed for 2 nights in 4-bed mixed dorm. It was just what they promoted and what I paid for. Shower and bathroom better than other dorms as there is a sink in both rather than in some hotels where there is a sink only with the shower and defeats the purpose. Best location, near restaurants, tube, metro, and so on. Highly recommend. Staff also very helpful and friendly.

One of the worst choices to stay in Berlin.
Rooms were tiny with just one towel. My room was looking at hotel's yard with extremely heavy music & bass from the club in the yard of the hotel. The staff was very rude, they refused to change me room. Hotels.com couldn't find an authorized person and the hotel after 48h replied that they do not give any kind of compensation. It's one of the worst places to stay in Berlin.
