Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Extremely hot in the summer. There were three windows in our room and we could only open one halfway. Mainly young people—very loud and inconsiderate of other people sleeping. The beds themselves were decently comfortable for a twin bed we packed two people in. Surprise €10 charge for sheets. Male staff were kind of sexist in a weird way—they completely ignored me until my bf said something to them. Female staff were extremely helpful and very kind. All staff spoke some amount of English and German. Lockers in room, but you have to buy a lock at the front desk—€5. Towels not provided. We had a private bathroom that we shared with 6 other people. It had black mold growing in the grout. The ground in the public bathrooms were constantly soaked with at least an inch of water 24/7.

Great budget stay in Berlin

A good budget stay in Berlin with convenience store and a hotdog store nearby. Could be busy on weekends. Location is brilliant as it is literally next to the U Bahn entrance for Line 6 and 7, easy to go to anywhere. Takeaway/ doner shop downstairs and 24 hour front desk is good. It was a bit loud as the room was next to the main street but generally felt safe and happy with the room.

Pros: luggage locker, private room for cheap, good room with windows and small bathroom, free breakfast, they let us use the microwave behind the front desk, community feeling, right by the U metro and lots of food options Cons: can hear noise through the halls and there was a large group staying here but it didn’t cause disruption in the night.

Was'nt expecting much but also did not expect the place to be smelly and unclean. Had to ask for extra bed-sheet (for extra 5 Euros) as non of the bed looked clean. Commom bathroom is not frequently cleaned. Shower cabinets with no curtains, just translucent doors. 1 of the 2 toilets is closed all the time. Unlimited breakfast: basic but okay for the price. Stay was okay this time but probably won't book again the next time I am in Berlin.

It is pretty good

The guy who checked me in was really nice. I can see he is a wonderful person, not just being nice for job security. The next day I asked the guy who was working at the desk for direction, he was not nice, rather he was arrogant and impatient. I liked the hostel. The location is great, right outside of the building there is a subway station. The room is clean. They have good free breakfast. I would recommend this hostel to anyone, although I wish I didn't meet the arrogant guy.

A nice, sociable hostel in Berlin

Berlin Metropol Hostel is laid-back and comfortable, and its front door leads right into a really convenient subway line. Everyone was friendly, and the free breakfast was also a nice touch. However, its showers didn't always have reliable water pressure, and the internet was spotty.
