I have used the Landsberger Alle tonstudios for two years but they are getting worse and worse. Equipment is often broken with no replacements available. The soundproofing is terrible so when there's a DJ, band or someone else recording nearby it bleeds into your room and is unusable. Sunday is the only time it's not full of SoundCloud rappers throwing parties - but then the studios look like this: glass everywhere, beer on the tables and floors, equipment broken. Pirate support will move you, but I recently lost 30 minutes of my booking moving rooms to find one that was acceptable with not even an apology from support, let alone a refund. I had to move 3 times and the final studio was still sticky. They REALLY need security here. It shouldn't be just accepted that people have parties here, it's a place fo work for the rest of us.

The pirate studios are actually a good idea but in the weekend it’s just a place for people who don’t get in to a club. These people make Party there and start to make a bad vibe an annoy the musicians and DJs who try to make Musik here. The security should be more careful in the future ! It’s absolutely not okay that there are wasted people who are rude and way to wasted and the security ignores that! To see violence in a place like that is not okay !

Cheap rehearsal space, but not in central Berlin. The locks unfortunately don't work properly and the rooms definitely aren't sound proof. Building a recording studio next to a rehearsal space that isn't soundproof is just dumb. Good idea, ok concept , bad execution!

Really fun location to get your friends in a DJ booth. Only thing was the toilets were flooded with water.

during the week everything is ok but on a weekend full of drunk bros, if you go in the morning everything is dirty, disgusting toilets and bottles everywhere,

Overall had a really good time, and it's really cool that you can get a place like this for a reasonable price, just have fun and actually dance like no one is watching. The guard was really kind and fun to talk to. It's sad that it doesn't work until later in the night, but going to a studio can be the perfect warm-up for a whole night of partying. The only problem we encountered was that we had rented a pro studio, which turned out to be nonfunctional, so we lost an hour of our time trying to fix the problem, but we got a refund and we were moved to another room, which turned out okay, but we had to cut our set short.

Like previous reviewers have said: there are WAY too many tweakers throwing parties here leaving the studios looking like battlefields. There was security there the other day when i visited, but there was still piles of bottles, sticky floor and surfaces and broken equipment. Really sad that people are using such a great service with such lack of respect... I much prefer the Tempelhof location for this reason; ita too far off for the soundcloud rappers and NAKT ravers to find it. The upside of pirate however is the customer service; which is always incredibly helpful and friendly. Ive been refu ded credits and moved rooms several times when things havnt worked out; often within 5-10 mimuges (even late at night). Hopefully pirate figures out a way to police their locations a bit better soon.

Sadly very poorly taken care of. The studios are filled with trash and sticky, but the equipment works well thankfully. The bathrooms are dirtier than a club toilet and are missing soap and out of order. The kitchen area had trash and was flies everywhere. The whole place smelt of piss because people clearly go to use the bathroom that’s covered in pee and then walk back to the rooms. As a non male person, it’s confronting to be met with such a gross bathroom situation every time. Soap, toilet paper, and functioning bathrooms should be standard. I think this place could be great with some maintenance - if the studio didn’t smell of pee to remind of the bathroom situation it would have been fine. I would not visit this one again in this state.

1,5 years ago pirates DJ studio’s just blew my mind. Brilliant concept, clean studios, amazing hardware. Today I was shocked. The DJ setup was worn, the studio gross, covered in spilled drinks, the toilet was as gross as it gets. People without booking walking around looking for empty studios. Please reestablish your standard!

The place is cheap. A lot of rooms are not entirely functionnal (there's always something broken) so when you find a room where everything works, you stick to this one and pray it doesn't change. It's also extremely dirty, they never seem to clean.

It's one of those places you cannot live without. As a DJ (collective) which needs a regular space, we always come back to practice and gather talent in Pirate studios. It might be dirty sometimes, it might be stuffy, but they are always fair if you record the state the studios are in and file a complaint via chat. I personally recommend Pirate as it's a fine initiative, and I sincerely hope that they push the community more in order to preserve the space better, rather than people treating the units as a disposable mc Donalds.

Sadly I felt very unsafe here today as a woman coming to practice alone at the Landsberger Pirate Studios. This place feels like a bad club, with people more wasted on a Sunday afternoon and high than in many clubs I've been to in Berlin. Thank god for the security person around, that helped feeling a bit better. The Studio I got was still full of dirty bottles, people are so disrespectful but the studio shouldn't allow 8 smashed people in such a small space. The toilets are the worse, there were some super high dudes and the light wasn't working. So creepy. Plus side though: it's great to access a CDJ equipment for such a good rate.

AC doesn't work in lot of rooms so you basically cook inside little box. Last time mixer was missing completely and I lost almost a complete hour. I got refund but not complete (little bit less then what you pay for 1 hour) but had extremely bad experience. Rooms are dirty and bathrooms are the worst. Also filled the survey to get the 20% off and couldn't book the studio room with the code (worked only without). Because of that my code now is not working at all and wasn't really used. I talked with customer service and wasn't that helpful suggesting me to wait for their tech guy to fix it which will then be longer then 1 day. I have to say in overall service got waay worse that it was before. I wouldn't recommend pirate studios anymore unless you can't go somewhere else.

decent experience but definitely the worst pirate studio ive been to - cue button on 2/3 of the cdjs was sticky and required smashing it very hard to get it to work. the headphone jack also had some issue where sound would cut in and out like 50% of the time. probably wouldn't book again or at least wouldn't go back to studio 8

Really fast and helpful support. Had issues with the mixers channel and fx knob. The support wanted to rebook our booking into a different room but everything was booked out so i received a discount code for my next booking. He/she also reported the mixer problem to the site manager, really appreciated.

I’ll talk about the recording studios. There is simply no use of going there. It’s (I quote the support) “sound treated but not soundproof”. And actually it is not at all soundproof. Between people talking in the hallway, the djs practicing and people rehearsing at incredible levels, there is no way you get an even okay-ish record out of that. Don’t bother trying. Put some blankets in your room and wait for the nighttime to record, you’ll get better results. I went twice, and twice the equipment was malfunctioning (also because people are mistreating it I believe). The studios were also always stinky and really dirty, with food on the floor and and/or old bottles under the couch. The support is very reactive and helpful tho. That’s a very good point. But of no use when the studios themselves are a joke. Really just go there if you have no equipment at all at home and just wanna record something exclusively for fun.

Very cool place. Prices are amazing and the location is great. You have Phillips hue light which always adds nice vibe to the session💕

This used to be a great spot and a nice solution for short-time studio rent. The studios were always in clean and great shape, as well as the common areas. Sadly, now the studios are often very dusty and dirty, with trash and empty beer bottles everywhere. The studio desks are often covered with stains and tobacco/weed from rolling. I won’t even write about the toilets. In the common areas around the WC there are clear signs of partying, with empty coke bags, fast food packaging and other unpleasant stuff. There is also some drugheads that are hanging around the entrance and blasting music. The overall vibe there is just bad these days. I have much better experience with the Pirate studios at Tempelhof, so if you ever consider using the service, I would rather go there until the staff fix this mess.

Fantastic studio booth to enjoy your favorite music with a couple of friends. Highly recommend wether you're just visiting or living in Berlin

Ok- its a nice idea but .... The places are more and more trashy due to no restrictions and no reception. Its dirty, broken and many times something doesnt work. It feels like the owners wants just to get money from this but dont care about quality and atmosphere. The other thing is that the system inside the Pirate structure is really fckd up. The service people many time lacking information. Going to normal studio spare you frustration and waiting time ...plus noize. Once again - great idea ... lack of pro team and security make it not the best experience.

Very bad. We have used pirate studios in Ireland and was no problem but here most equipment is broken. The support team is great but moving room usually ends up in more broken rooms and have wasted hours here just trying to fix or see what the problem is. Have got refunded and time back but really annoying and interrupts the creative process. Mainly leave here in a bad mood.

Super convenient, very affordable, high quality studios. Have had a few enjoyable and efficient sessions here recording and producing. Only criticism I have is the bathroom. Last couple of times I booked a studio the bathroom was pretty smelly and there was no toilet paper :/ Otherwise great
