A&O Berlin Hauptbahnhof Hostel

Huge hostel with lots of people and people either very young or over 50 years old

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.

The staff is not very welcoming, very impersonal place, the atmosphere is not friendly, the average organization (problems with reservations). The kitchen is practical but the food is stolen from the fridges, and the other travelers do not do their dishes: there is no surveillance when it comes to the manners of the guests. It's closer to a hotel than a real hostel.

I am happy about the fact that the hostel is close to central Station.

The more I go, the more disappointed I am. I found the staff to be very unfriendly, the room smelled and was dirty.

By reserving a dormitory for 6 women on the aubergedejeunesse website, I did not expect to end up in a mixed dormitory with 7 noisy and stinky men. I paid 30 euros a night to be bothered by German teenagers on school trips (those who believe that Germans are respectful, go to an A&O hostel), and to be spied on leaving the shower by the men who shared my dormitory. Fights between several of them for a Muslim prayer performed in the middle of the dormitory, pestilential smell, dormitory toilets that have become unusable, windows that do not open to evacuate the smell (window overlooking a car park)... As As a young solo traveler, I can tell you that I didn't feel safe, so I ended up moving my stuff and going to sleep in a friend's room. And don't count on A&O to give you back the money you owed when you slept 10 nights in a room that was worth after checking 15€ less than the one you paid for! Tips: breakfast is chargeable, but no one checked at the entrance to the room;). And avoid the pizzas and other snacks offered at the bar of the hostel

The Hostel is quite good, very new, very clean and also with bathrooms in the room

Not far from the central station, this establishment looks like a dodo factory as the corridors are suffocating in this month of August and have so many doors. But the staff is very caring, responding efficiently to all requests with a smile. Perfect for a short stay.

Very good location, clean

Positive points: the hostel is very well located (10 minutes walk from the station), sheets provided Negative points: dirt in the rooms and bathrooms, very cold reception from the staff, confusion in the distribution of the rooms (2 different rooms were assigned to us for 2 nights, no one informed us)

The beds are super comfortable, it's very well organized and clean

The location is interesting, the place is clean, practical and friendly :)

Clean and comfortable.

I came to this hostel with a lot of hope since I had already been there the previous year and had had a good stay but there I was really disappointed. It was really not clean in the room, the shower was clogged, and the toilet smelled of pee. In addition there was a drunk girl at 8am with her desperados beer then a Corona beer at 10am. I do not understand that the reception sold this to her at such an early hour, especially after she came to the room to shout and she woke everyone up. In addition, we stole 3 clothes from my neighbor, luckily that did not happen to me ... Otherwise the reception is not always nice especially in the evening, the guy seemed drunk that I came to ask him a question. Finally the breakfast at 8 euros is bcp too expensive, for the same price I recommend a cafe in Berlin where you will have a lot more to eat, better and healthier for the same price

I spent a night in the room of 8 I would say perfect from the bed to the clean bathrooms

Very well located. The premises are well maintained.

Good internet in this hostel in Berlin. Good location.

This hostel is well located in Berlin. It is close to the Berlin Central station
