Pros +
- Great location
- Good location, super cozy inside, great staff support, and also 19grams coffee shop is nearby
- The location is ideal as you have so many options for food, nightlife and shopping. You're about a 10 min walk from the train station also. The major clubs, east side gallery and shopping mall are about a 15-20 min max walk.
Cons -
- It is a hostel so some noise from shared bathrooms and usual comings and goings
- You should have done cash to make your locker locked. The most important thing was inside my locker there were no clothes hooks at all. It should be fixed ASAP.
- The bathrooms are very subpar, especially the ones for the private accommodations. This was by far my biggest complaint and our room was relatively small in comparison for the price I paid and other rooms.

We loved the community feel and the other travelers staying were friendly We had an issue with our booking (my fault) and the staff was extremely helpful. Tulli was such a great host. We will definitely be back!
I would recommend shower shoes, but that is it!
Best location in Berlin - lots of small eateries and hangout places. Great and friendly staff, chill common area with tiny garden, fair price. Perfect combination
The staff was amazing, and the nice vibe to the place. Like the coffee that was there
The bunk beds were very small.
Right downtown I could walk to the stores and restaurants and public transports
Having a fan in the room would be nice
Nice and clean, quiet place. Mostly friendly staff that are in attendance the majority of the time. Good location.
The rooms aren't very soundproof so you cannot make much noise, especially once dark. Other people or staff complained if we talked or listened to music too loud on our phone as early as 8pm. One staff member told us we were too loud at 9pm when we were watching a documentary in bed on an old laptop. She said that if we wanted to party we should go to a bar. We weren't using any external speakers. We ended up having to use headphones to watch the documentary so as not to disturb anybody. This was 9pm at night.
Atmosphere, comfort, and welcoming staff
very nice place, quiet, clean, very nice decoration within shared areas, free coffee and tea
Absolutely loved the cozy vibes at the hostel! The common areas were super cute and it really facilitated people interacting and chatting.
The beds were honestly comfortable but the pillow was a bit on the squished side. But overall good sleep!
Spacious. Nice staff. I felt safe. There is free coffee in a living room. I liked it a lot. Close to the station bus station and located in a nice area.
The room has a large window but the curtains were almost not functioning. They were made of thin see-through fabric, which did not shut down the light from the street (the room is on the ground floor), the room was probably visible from the street at night, and the room was cold! The radiator was on but not effective at all. I think having thicker curtains would help to keep the temperature in the room in the winter.
The hosts are really nice and kind!!! Really clean, comfortable and great location.
The staff was the friendliest. They were very helpful with answering all of my questions and gave me tons of recommendations. The hostel was also the cutest ever and one of the comfiest hostels I’ve ever slept in.
Great location, close to train station and cafes/pubs/restaurants. Relaxed and friendly vibe. Staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Helena thanks for making it a great stay :)
Bathrooms were shared but always clean. The staff was nice and friendly.Excellent value for money.
Great location and close to the Ubahn and the Ostbahnhof. Also a good value for the twin room. Enjoyed by stay and will come back!
Pleasant
The room looked better on the pictures. But overall - it is ok for it’s value and super friendly staff + location.
* The room was big enough. It had its sink. * The bed was very comfortable.* Location is 12 minutes walk from the metro station* The bathrooms and toilets were cleaned daily.
* The location is close to restaurants and pubs, so sometimes you might hear noisy people on the street between midnight and 4:00 o'clock. It is not a big deal, if you are a good sleeper :-)* The stove is for vegetarians. You can still buy and eat meat :-)
Super clean, quiet and homely!
