It was my second time in this hostel, and they are just so friendly 😊

İt was great booking for mi, thank you staff
It was simply magnificent, exactly the hostel I was looking for and felt comfortable in. The friendliness of the staff, the comfort of the bed in the room, the socket at the bedside and the light for reading at night and the safe. Another plus is that the rest room and breakfast are free. The location is also magnificent, 3 minutes walking distance to the metro, and you can reach the center, Alexanderplatz, by walking only 2 stops, in 15 minutes. There are markets, pubs and places to eat around.

A very nice and social hostel to stay in Berlin.
Super friendly and helpful staff, social events like karaoke, basic breakfast, reasonable price
The people in my dorm room came back late night and made noise, annoying but it's not the fault of the hostel.

I will be back!
The staff were fantastic!! And the facilities incredible. Comfy beds, good separate shower/bathrooms. The TV room is an absolute win. Free basic breakfast and free family dinner nights are amazing very helpful for getting everyone talking. I would definitely stay here again!! Great cooking facilities and staff were so helpful with recommendations for anything you could need
Only downside was the floors in the dorm rooms are very old and loud.

Charming Hostel with a Friendly Atmosphere
The location is excellent, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. The rooms are clean and cozy, and the shared spaces are well-maintained and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The outdoor garden is a perfect spot to relax after exploring the city. Great value for money—highly recommended for anyone visiting Berlin!

Amazing experience
Amazing hostel, amazing atmosphere, well connected to Alexanderplatz and Tram/Metro. The staff is really great, I was there only for one night but they're all lovely, specially Camila. They let me kill time there because my bus was late and even let me participate in that night's dinner. I would totally go back. The rooms are big, the beds comfortable enough, the patio amazing for hanging out. The bathrooms were clean. For its value, it's a no brainer in Berlin either if you want to do walking or party tourism, or both.

Perfect place in Berlin!
The hostel is very close to U, restaurants and supermarket around the corner, the staff super friendly and helpful, I stayed in a female four bed and was quite big, the shower good. They offer recommendations to go, eat, to visit, is well prepared. They have complementary snacks in the morning and some days the offer family dinner, I can always come back to this hostel.
Just be aware there's not lift in case you have a big luggage but tha was not a issue for me

Highly recommended! Consider this place if you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere and fun evenings.
I had a fantastic stay at this hostel! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-organized, offering everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The location is unbeatable, close to all the main attractions and public transport, making it easy to explore the area. The basic breakfast free, there is always a free spot for snacks. The kitchen is free to use and its amazing! Clean and easy to cook anything. The staff was friendly and always ready to help (superb). I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a great place to stay! A+
Can't think of any.

Friendly sociable hostel in Berlin
Friendly and super helpful staff; spotlessly clean; quiet location; sociable and fun; free breakfast and dinners, neighbourhood lovely with great cafes and stores, very central, easy and quick access to u bahn or an easy twenty min walk to centre.
The cost of a dorm bed at 50euro is a lot but the room was very nice. Some guests in the dorm are not respectful of other guests privacy, and noise in middle of night.

Wonderful. Full of fun and great hosts there.
The hostel ambiance was lovely, it gives you a Berlin vide. The rooms were clean and quite, I met very good people there which are my friends now. The location of this hostel is great, nice area, close to at least three U-bahn and couple of M-Tram.

I highly recommend this place. It was my second time staying here. I'll repeat my opinion, that: -professional, friendly staff, - there is a kitchen, where you can cook food, not just microwave it, - there is a small garden, - great location - you can walk to the biggest attractions or take the U-Bahn, tram, - close to grocery store, - it's clean, - hostel can store your luggage before and after your stay. Although I didn't participate in the joint activities, I saw that people were having a great time. I noticed that for the colder season, there is a thicker quilt.

A cute and affordable hostel in Mitte with friendly and social crowd.
The location was pretty good with many cafes and restaurants nearby. The kitchen is well equipped and clean, the outdoor patio was really nice.
No personal blind per bed. No AC but I knew that before booking and it was not super hot during my stay late august.

Loved it and would return!
I loved the location, clean, comfy beds, quiet, super friendly staff and lovely people staying at the hostel. I was in a female dorm (4) and it was great, interesting people mix age 25-53. Communal kitchen was a great plus and very clean. Great sociable space
The female bathrooms could have done with more toilets sinks one of each, showers were good. The mirror was very high and set in so difficult to use if you have contact lenses. Adding some extra mirrors with a shelf would be a great improvement

Nice and centric
The location is perfect and well connected. The surrounding area is very nice and had several options for eating out in a short walking distance. Also easy access to supermarkets. The bathroom is common for the floor, not the room, but I liked they had one for women only. It was kept clean and supplied. The rooms are spacious and the locker to fit the bags was quite big.

Highly recommend!! Met great people here
Super comfy beds and USB-C charge is awesome, staff was great, free bubbly water and dinner nights
A tad more expensive than most
13 September 2024
Hassle-free and comfortable stay, having small dorms with only 4 beds was really the best.
Dorm rooms: good size, 4 beds is just right, reduces the risk of noisy/inconsiderate roommates. Privacy boards around the head of the bed, plug socket and little shelf above. Very useful cases under the bed to store luggage (prevents the room from becoming messy). Bathroom: enough showers, I never had to wait. Clean bathrooms. Good water pressure. Location: good location close to transport and the city centre. Many small café around.
Hostel guests being noisy outside at night (not all night long, but until around midnight). Foam mattresses are not the most comfortable and too soft, but honestly it was good enough.

Best hostel & super helpful staffs
This hostel is the best I have ever stayed at. A big shoutout to Max from the staff—he went above and beyond to resolve an issue I had on my first night, turning it into a great experience and saving my trip! The room and public bathroom were super clean, and the kitchen was well-equipped. They even offer a simple but nice free breakfast in the morning.

Probably Berlins best hostel
Every member of the staff is very nice and welcoming. They even provided free dinner on certain days, delicious aswell. The common areas are perfect to meet new people, especially for me as a solo-traveler, it couldn’t get any better than that. Every night, you have the opportunity to join nice people in going out, partying, bars. The location is something that even locals are jealous about. The room was always clean and tidy. Bed way more comfortable than usual hostel beds. Overall, one of the best hostels I’ve ever been to and the best one in Berlin.
Ain’t lying, but nothing

Very good
The staff and the social aspect of the hostel makes it great for any solo traveller! They have events happening every day and make it easy to socialize and meet people. Location is great where it’s near the station and a very nice back terrace where you can relax or chat with other travellers.
The rooms need air conditioning since it gets veryyyyyy hot. It felt like a sauna at times which is uncomfortable whether you’re trying to sleep or just sit around. As well, a curtain for the beds for privacy would be nice! The hostel is missing privacy curtains for the bed and air conditioning, that would the hostel that much better.

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed at!
Fantastic location in the beautiful neighbourhood Prenzlauer Berg! Close to public transport but also wonderful to just walk around. I think by far the best thing about this hostel is the amazing people (staff and guests) you meet. It’s an incredibly social hostel and they’re constantly organising fun excursions and activities. Had the best time here! Definitely coming back!
