Nadine
The hostel is a 10-minute walk from the central station, the metro, the S-Bahn, and taxis. The staff is friendly and attentive. My room was quiet and the breakfast was plentiful. The meeting spaces are pleasant. The lockers are convenient for leaving luggage on the day you leave, while waiting for your departure time.

hostel easily accessible from the center even if you have to be prepared to travel a bit (45 mins by tram (M5 and M6 + a few buses) from the monuments), the kitchen, dirty, is still well appointed, even if there is a deposit of €20 to access it (cleanliness is not checked when returning the deposit). We were located on the 8th floor and it was very hot in May. Room and bathroom relatively clean if you don't look into the details. The smell of cigarettes is omnipresent in the hotel.

The welcome was not always pleasant, the rooms of 8 are not cleaned regularly. The beds had no light or socket for charging, and the shared kitchen was very poorly equipped and dirty. No one told us, reception didn't give us the cards for the kitchen so we couldn't go in.
4.3
For a hotel surely ok, for a hostel not suitable at all.

I spent 4 nights in this hostel. I appreciated that there was someone at the reception 24/7! I met people. The shared kitchen of the hotel is very cool. It was good to be able to rent a room only with women. I was able to rent a bike. There is a very pleasant interior courtyard.

Welcome to Berlin

Out of a turbulent history has come a city buzzing with counter-cultural energy – run-down warehouses have become spaces for experimental art, or throb with cutting-edge techno. Sections of the Berlin Wall, that potent symbol of the city’s struggles, are now covered in colourful graffiti and eye-popping murals. Backpackers and students alike will find many cheap places to stay in Berlin. This is no place to hide away in a fancy hotel. Join groups of like-minded backpackers and students in one of the city’s huge variety of youth hostels, from the Mitte city centre area to the downtown area south of the River Spree. Step out of your dorm and discover world-class museums and galleries, über-cool design shops and underground clubs. 

East Side Gallery

Walk along the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall, now effectively an art gallery. More than 100 artists have left their stamp on this crumbling piece of history.

Berghain

The famous underground club Berghain is one of the best known clubs in Europe, let alone Berlin. Berghain is vast, legendary and has one of the best sound systems around. The club is notoriously hard to get into, so look up tricks for getting inside ahead of time online and think of a Plab B if you don’t want to end up heading back to your hostel.
