Kitchen facility is inadequate for the size of hostel and number of people wanting to use it. It is accessed through getting a key and is a small galley kitchen- suitable for one family/person to cook at a time but when I used it, 3 other groups also wanted to do so. It is not possible to pop in and get something into the fridge or cook and then do you dishes later (freeing it up for someone else to use it while you eat) as you have to pay a deposit to get the key. Freindly enough staff.

Good price for what's being offered. Don't expect super luxury, but just a decent room with a nice shower and okay beds. In the lobby there's plenty to do, even if some things (pool table) might need replacement. My kids and myself had a great stay and would probably stay here again if we ever visit Berlin again.
