After I booked this place I red that had some bad reviews so I was a little worried about this place. I booked 3 nights and for me I had a good experience, the communication with their staff was good, the place was clean it has a small kitchenette so I was able to cook some meals. It’s not a 3 or 4 star hotel but I had a goos stay.

The location was great and the staff are super helpful! The vibe of this place is really great for young ppl wanting to travel and meet people and hang out in the bar/lobby. 4/5 stars cuz the bathrooms weren't always super clean or would be occupied. Would definitely stay here again!

I had a fantastic stay! The bed was surprisingly comfortable. Loved that they supplied free towels. The room was large with plenty of space to sort my belongings. The bathroom was an entire room with the toilet and shower! It was right next to multiple transit options! Excited to stay again in a week.

Great location and relatively clean. However, be aware that there's no on-site laundry, and the nearest laundromat is a 20-minute walk away.

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.

Great hostel! Although breakfast price was way too high so bought breakfast elsewhere, and it looked like it was understaffed with the staff being overworked. One guy said he had only gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before. Great location, great prices, and clean! Will definitely come here again soon!

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.

You get what you paid. I don't think I could get better thing with the money I paid. The workers were kind and it looked like they are doing their best to remain hostel clean. But the the building was old and especially, bathroom and restroom was not comfortable. Again, I cannot complain because of its reasonable price, but it gave me a lesson that I have to pay more money to sleep in the room I feel enough in Europe than in America or Asia.

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.
