The location was great and the facilities were always clean and in order. I think the showers sometimes are inconsistent on temperature and how long they run but they work fine otherwise. The bar has cheap drinks and an easy place to socialize as well.

Bedbugs and DO NOT BOOK IF YOURE AN EXPEDIA MEMBER

Terrible experience as the hostel had bedbugs that both of my family members experienced ( it wasn’t a problem of only one bed). The shared bathroom didn’t have paper and it was too small to fit all people per floor. But the worst experience was because they charged me on site for the nights again after I paid through the hotels.com app. They claimed that they don’t have “direct” communication with Expedia and that’s why they couldn’t help me solving the issue. A guy named Tom was very rude by email and never helped solving the issue. If you don’t have communication with the service provider , why do you work with them? So illogical… Do yourself a favor and do not book there, there are many other options- im an experienced traveler and can tell you this has been one of the worst experiences.

Brilliant, really surprised.

Stayed here in Berlin and I have to admit, I’ve never stayed in a low cost hostel before so yes I was slightly apprehensive about what waited for us 😂 I needn’t have worried. check in was first class, young man (hearts fc supporter) was brilliant, rooms were excellent. For what we paid it was tremendous. Zero complaints at all. Will defo stay again.

Quartos desconfortáveis

É um hostel grande. As pessoas na recepção são educadas e atenciosas. Não são todas as camas que tem tomada perto da cama. O barulho é demais, dentro e fora do quarto, porque as camas fazem muito barulho. A ventilação é horrível no quarto. Eu esperava banheiros mais limpos

Liked: Amenities
They did not offer us towels until after we had used our own wash clothes to bathe. Then we had to ask for towels. Didn’t know they would provide them. Should have been offered at check in. Their luggage storage area is out in the open and only available for a couple of hours. Noisy busy road with lots of construction. Sheets were clean.,beds were comfortable. Mold in shower curtains. Really load music in lobby at times. Some very loud walking in the halls during night but only temporary. Strict cancelation policy, no flexibility even about 4 weeks ahead.
