    This place is simply just great. It has everything you want of a hostel. It has a cool bar, with a view over the city, along with an awesome roof top terrace. The staff was super friendly, and the security really good. There's a nice kitchen, and two cool places to hang out on the ground floor, if you're not interested in the bar. The place was clean, and the beds had power plugs, and a little shelf - just as one traveller loves it. I was 100% satisfied with my stay there.

    Really nice place with spacious rooms (we were in a 4-bed dorm). Bathroom was also really clean. The bar was great and very friendly people working there. LOVED the neighbourhood! So many restaurants and little shops. Two downsides: the foam mattress was quite thin so not so comfortable and the shower was cold two times.

    Really satisfied with the stay. The people working there are very friendly / helpful. The atmosphere & decoration there are really cool / comfy. The welcome/reception is really "open": one drink is offered at the arrival at the top roof of the hotel. <= The "bar" there is open every night (and have by the way a good playlist of classical & pop rock songs). You can also meet new people there from all around the world, it's super nice. The district / area is really good located. There are a lot of things near to it (notably a "Rossmann" if needed). Finally, the prices are really good. Around 26€/night for a shared room of 6 (girl) persons.

    Stayed here for a few nights in 2017. First trip to a hostel and it was wonderful! Front staff is available 24/7, the rooftop bar has amazing views and is only surpassed by the amazing cafe connected to the lobby. Daily cleaning crews keep the entire establishment very pleasant. Never had issues with other guests bring loud or boisterous.

    The service is good. The staff at reception were very friendly. The rooms are spartan, but absolutely sufficient and the size is okay. The beds are also very comfortable. The bar on the top floor offers a good selection of drinks and a billiards option. I can't say anything about breakfast because I didn't book that.

    Best hostel I've been to in quite some time. View from the rooftop is worth the price alone. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and staff are exceptionally friendly. Only recommendation would be to stock more beers on tap at the bar! Great vibe, perfect location, and we will definitely stay here again.

    The best hostel i have been to so far! Clean, super helpful and friendly staff. Very good location. Nice international friendly atmosphere, a bar to socialize( free drink voucher is given to everyone during the check in), laundry, kitchen and cool lounge area. Rooms are cleaned everyday.

    I really enjoyed my stay. The location is perfect. The restaurants around it - very good. The room and bathroom were roomy and enough for 4 people. Great value for price. The staff can be a little more friendly. We couldn't lock one of the lockers and asked for help and they just told us to push the top and nobody came. We ended up fixing it with a key since the metal was a little bend and wouldn't fit properly.

    Excellent location and very nice place! the staff was friendly and very helpful. Rooms were clean, providing bed sheets and a big towel. Cleaning service every day to clean the toilets and take trash out. Bed was a bit old (the mattress) but comfy enough! The bar was really nice with a big terrace with beautiful views of the city! nice prices too! specially during happy hour :) The down side only may have been the breakfast, all-you-can-eat but could be more rich in variety:) Overall very recommendable!!

    My partner had stayed here before, which is why we came back. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The area of Berlin it was in was really good, with lots to do locally and everything was a small walk away. The hostel itself was welcoming, clean and a great place to stay. There was a lovely atmosphere, particularly in the bar, as well as people of all ages. We will be back!

    The hotel is a fantastic part of town. Downright near city center. Super accessable to anything you need and a solid 30 second walk to the train station. The staff are AWESOME. They're super nice, very very helpful and love to have fun. The scene from the rooftop is a great view of Berlin and most rooms look down onto the main intersection that the hostel sits on. Very fun meeting strangers and partying with them and then later finding then exploring the city. Super social rooftop bar that let us meet people from all over, including a travelling group from Poland who were deaf, but we all knew how to sign! It was definitely one for the memory books.

    This is one of the best hostels I've stayed at. I have not felt more safe in a hostel. We stayed in a 6 bed room which also had its own, clean, washroom with shower. The bar/ breakfast terrace is a really cool addition as well since the location gives a great view of the city. My only complaint is that the bar's loud music was quite audible from the room at night. It's not a problem when the windows are closed, but on a hot summer night it's unavoidable.

    The location was very good and it had a seriously nice view of the city! Staff was friendly and was always there to help if we needed anything, even at night. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but there weren't any towels and we had to make our own bedsheets. The bar was great, full of people and music(but not too loud), so we made some friends too. We also had breakfast there and they offer you so many things to eat and to drink with just 4,50€, so it is really worth it. There is also a really comfortable lobby where you can spend some hours and they can also keep your baggage for a while after the check out so you don't have to carry them around the city, if you are leaving the city much later. Overall we are very pleased with our stay!!
