    Rooms - Rooms were big and nice Washrooms - The washrooms are not great, most of the washroom doors does not close. So washrooms didnt have anything to hang clothes, some washrooms were dull. Lift - Lift does not work Kitchen Area - There is also no kitchen area so you cannot cook anything. Locker - If you come early then you will have to pay to keep your luggage. Welcome drink is available only on certain times.

    Location wise it's perfect located in central Berlin, you can most attractions close by, Not a bad place to stay depending on your roommates. They have the free breakfast only if you book it from their site, there's a bar with special offers only for guests, staff is very friendly and nice. They have their own free tours as well with multiple language guides

    ✨ This hostel offers a cozy atmosphere with friendly staff members ✨ 🚩However, it's worth mentioning that the hostel lacked certain amenities that would have enhanced our experience. Firstly, there was no kitchen available for guests to prepare their own meals. Additionally, we found that the hostel lacked a dedicated space for socializing and meeting other travelers. The only option available was the bar, which, although convenient, also welcomed non-guests. While the lack of a kitchen and dedicated social space is a limitation, the overall experience was positive. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location is convenient.

    I do not recommend the hostel to solo travellers. There is no good shared space to meet people. I stayed in the hostel for 4 nights in August 2022. The big disadvantage of the hostel is that there is no good shared space to meet people. The only common space is the sports bar downstairs - but this is a public sports bar which is open to everyone, so not only for backpackers at the hostel. The bar is furthermore not inviting to hang out, its a sports bar, so there are all kind of televisions and old middle aged drunk soccer fans. So the atmosphere is very different from a backpacker atmosphere, and it is very hard to meet fellow backpackers. There is also no kitchen, or shared fridge etc. In general, the hostel is quite commercialized, for example, you need to pay to store your luggage in lockers. The hostel is massive: many floors with many dorm rooms. It has potential. But not if there is no good common space where you can meet people. For now I would recommend smaller hostels. By coincidence I met people staying at the East Seven Hostel, a much smaller hostel where there are good shared spaces to meet backpackers. If they would change one of the many floors they have to a shared space for backpackers, I could give the hostel 4 stars. But without this I can’t give it more than 1 star for solo backpackers.

    This hostel is one of most miserable I have ever stayed at. The 4 bed room I was at was a pathetic size compared to what I've had for the same price, and the mattress and pillow were terrible as well. The one positive is that my room was okay temperature wise. The worst part is that this is a public sports bar disguised as a hostel. Everywhere you look in the maze of hallways and doors is "Happy hour 4-8pm! Margaritas only €6! This way to the bar!". When you enter the door it doesn't even look like a hostel, you enter a music booming bar with noisy drunkards (with the tiny reception desk being in the far corner of the room). When I came by to check in I didn't even realize that I was at the right place. I timed it myself: it takes 3 minutes to walk up from the tram to my room on the 2nd floor. Thanks to the giant bar, there's no common rooms at all. If you want to hang out in the hostel, you either sit on your bed in your tiny room, or you sit at the bar with the booming music (which plays 24/7). When I called my friend late at night, I had to sit in a random hallway I found on the ground level by the staircase. There weren't even any benches in the back courtyard that I could sit on. Even when I called a museum during breakfast time, the poor staff member couldn't hear me- because of the stupid music! I had to walk to the courtyard so I could be in a quiet place that wasn't in the way of anyone in the tiny hallways! Thanks to this being a public bar, you're stuck with loud drunkards outside your window on the street every night when you try to sleep. Because you have to keep your windows open to not heat up, you're forced to hear them until past 2am. Combine that with the terrible pillow and mattress, and yes I did not sleep well here. Also, why do I need to pay an hourly rate for keeping my bag at the hostel after I check out? Every other hostel where I've done the same has just had a locked room I walk into to set my bag down. All free, all convenient. You can argue "it's more secure" to have these locked lockers, but why not just do what every museum does? Have a key that you pull out of the locker when you place your bag in. Then keep your key on you. No need to pay the price of breakfast to keep your bag in a hole for 6+ hours. Such a stupid waste of money. And honestly, this whole hostel was a waste of my money So if you want a summary of my thoughts: If you aren't a drunk partying college student (or wannabe), you will hate sleeping here. And yes, I am myself an American college student.

    One of the worst hostel I stayed. I’m pretty sad i booked a non refundable stay , I would have cancelled right away if I would been able to The location is great, it’s the only good point. This is not the hostel, but a hotel with dorms. Do not come here if you are in solo trip and your are looking for a nice hostel experience. There is no atmosphere, no kitchen, no chilling area. No activities, nothing. Lot of rules, they basically force you to consume at the bar downstairs. I had a private room with a kitchen and I had to argue with the bouncers every time I wanted to enter as they would say I can’t bring alcohol inside. I was there for 5 nights and they never cleaned the bathroom. On the top of that, the wifi is not good.

    Reasonable prices and a convenient walking distance to various attractions, but I would not go back to this place again… Important to note❗️Arriving early for your booking may result in an additional charge for luggage storage, which can only be paid in coins. Due to a machine error, the machine overcharged us. While we were able to get a refund by addressing the issue with the staff, it's worth mentioning that numerous previous guests had similar experiences. Without our complaint, the staff might not have rectified the situation. I highly recommend taking a picture of the screen before storing your luggage to avoid this inconvenience Here are some important considerations: 🛌 Not recommended for light sleepers or those sensitive to noise. Sleeping can be challenging due to persistent noise resembling tanks. 👃 Shared rooms with over 10 people can have various odors. 🚽 🚿 Expect queues for toilets and bathrooms, patience and a willingness to share facilities are necessary! 🧳 Be prepared to carry large luggage as the majority of the area has stairs, the elevator was out of service. 🔐 Remember to bring a key lock for the small section under your bed to secure belongings. 🥿 Bring slippers you can use inside.

    We didn’t stay in the place as a hostel, we got a private room. The positives, the bar downstairs is nice, staff were all friendly and the place seemed clean. The food we ate was nice too. The location is good. Out of the way yet somehow we n the middle of things, underground station outside the door and a very short walk to loads of cafes, bars and the TV tower. Go to Bata, the pool hall, if you’re anywhere near. The bad, my brother’s bed was basically snapped in half, almost completely, the stairway smelled…not very nice.

    While this is a nice hostel with a great location, I have some beef with it. 1. The restaurant bar concept makes it hard to meet people. There are no nice chill hang out areas to really meet people and it can be intimidating going to a bar filled with huge groups of people by yourself. The restaurant is the only meeting spot I noticed. 2. The private bathroom with key card reader. A nightmare in the morning when your bladder is about to explode. Even worse when someone else is in there. You can't use the one right next to it because the key is coded to that one specific bathroom. The biggest issue is there are no public bathrooms nearby so you have to go down two flights of stairs into the basement to use the bathroom. 3. The shower is AWFUL. Literally like some sort of military or prison shower. It turns off every fifteen seconds (I counted) so you spend your whole time trying to press it to keep it on and get a remotely peaceful shower. 4. Super early check out time. This is a qualm I have with a lot of places. Check in is so insanely late but check out so early. And a convenient charge to sleep in meaning it’s something they could easily allow. I will complain about this until mass reform is made with all these hostels. 5. The “free” breakfast? A joke. More like a little juice box, a granola bar, weird bread bar thing, and gross coffee if you choose. I've been at smaller places with much larger and better breakfasts with fresh eggs, bread, fruit, etc. They have a FULL kitchen with restaurant seating and that’s the breakfast they offer?

    It’s the first time I’ve been in a so called hostel without any place to chill, meet, prepare food, or just live. A (loudly noisy) bar is not. It’s ok when your goal is to meet drunk people or pub crawlers, but definitely not when you want to meet travelers, share experiences or just talk. The breakfast food is a joke, and no, discounts on pub food is not an ok alternative. Dorms are just ok, the cleanliness is variable, beds without any private space, the curtains to prevent light are not closing. One chair for 6 people in the dorm. You literally can’t sit in front of someone anywhere in the hostel. And no, a bar where police come 3 times a week because of drunk people is not somewhere you would enjoy to stay to share your meal or just discuss with new people. Anyway, I didn’t mention the smell, the not pleasant staff who think people are 10yo kids, or maybe just young cash machines, the rare and always full bathrooms, the impossibility to eat breakfast early. I thought an hostel was a place to share with people, not just a cheap accommodation for people wanting to maximize their booze budget. In a very cynical way, St Christopher’s inn seems wanting to attract just as many people as it can without doesn’t caring at all if you spent a nice trip or any sharing or collective values, once you’ve booked, you’re out of interest. Definitely not the way I like hostels. Just call your place cheap dorm. But not hostel.

    The check in was very long and complicated. We arrived after 2pm and our bunk bed was not ready. They were out of locks and out of towers and had to get our own locks. The room looked different than what we see in the pictures. We had to share 2 toilets and 1 shower between 2 rooms of 6 beds each (12 people) which I thought was too much. Other than that, the atmosphere was nice and location is great!

    i really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were the best I have ever had during my eurotrip. Telling me where to go, sharing their experiences, showing me the elevator and helping me find stuff. My room was nice and I met tons of good people. And the hostel is close to everything you need. Really enjoyed my stay here.

    A sports bar first and a hostel second. If you like being in a packed place filled with shouting cursing sports fanatics, then this is the place for you. No kitchen and no dedicated common area for the hostel guests only. Just the sports bar. And they make you pay for luggage storage! This is the first hostel I've been to where you have to pay to store your luggage. And the water pressure in the showers is ridiculously high.

    The rooms are fine, beds are comfortable and everything is clean, so I'd recommend this hostel. Location is nice, very close to the center and to Alexanderplatz, so it's very practical if you are staying few days in Berlin. It's a pity they don't have a kitchen or a fridge, and also that you have to pay for the lockers in case you need luggage storage before checking in or after checking out. The common area is in the bar, which is ok. The staff is kind, specially there was a young woman who was extremely nice and helped me with a couple of things. Overall it's a good place to stay.

    Good value for money, clean. There is a great bar too. Some staff members are very nice, and some are not, that’s why i did not give a 5/5

    Anyone who complains about their experience here is probably used to more luxurious places, I will say, on this Google listing it says "hostel with free breakfast" This is not true, it's 7 euro, it seems it's usually the same small breakfast, but maybe that's normal here? You are allowed to stay here up to 7 days, Your roommates might either be very nice or very rude, you never know, that's the experience of being in a hostel, So don't get upset, I say this because I had a couple roommates here who didn't understand, an american girl who just complains and calls everything stupid, and a Russian man who makes noise all night and keeps opening all the windows. Don't be that. Be nice, and consider how other people feel.

    Super chill hostel literally right next to the u2 station which is real nice for getting around. Not terribly loud out on the street and the rooms don’t get too hot at night. Everything felt clean and staff was nice. The downstairs area is a huge sports bar, one of the biggest in the city, so it’s not exactly the classic downstairs hostel area where you can meet people, but going on the weekends it feels like everyone is there to club so meeting people in the rooms was easy.

    To the two Indian men in room 24 you have completely blown away my understanding of how little self awareness a person can have. From loudly eating an apple at 5am to then 5 mins later making multiple phone calls speaking full volume from your bed. Also snoring unhealthy loud all night. At least the hostel was really great and the staff were all so friendly. Perfect location and the bar/food is top.

  • 4/5 Hsieh Chih K. 2 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Probably one of the most popular hostels in Berlin. The room is not luxurious, but clean and fine enough to enjoy. The staff is always very friendly. The location is great. I would stay here again and again.

  • 5/5 desd Deniz E. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    They obviously know what they are doing, I stayed in the 10 bedded room. Beds have curtains, nice size, everything is pretty clean and safe. It is in the center and has a very good price. I would definitely stay there again if I visit Berlin another time.

  • 1/5 Marta C. 1 month ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    I don't recommend this hostel for solo female travelers. To enter the hostel you have to walk through a bar which I found full of loud, aged men. The vibes are not inviting to socializing with others if you are traveling solo because there are no common areas to chill and hang out other than that loud bar. I found the hostel overpriced; the beds were cheap and uncomfortable, the shared kitchen had very few cooking utensils, there was only one toilet for two dorms.

  • 5/5 Re'em L. 3 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    This hostel was very accommodating and a really fun social place as a lone traveler. Specifically I want to call out the bartender, Giancarlo. He stands up for what’s right and he genuinely takes care of the people he serves and stays at the hostel, he’s a great man and made me feel the most safe out of everyone there

  • 5/5 Anastasia H. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the best time. The place is perfect if you wish to make new friends while traveling. The rooms are clean, the location is central and the staff is extremely friendly. A special thank you to Dan at reception, who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and who gave me the best recommendations.

  • 5/5 Nyanyukweni J. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely a stunning experience for me. My first hostel experience and I have to say the hostel is situated in just the perfect area in the city center for a cheap price, I loved that you get to meet so many personalities from around the world from all walks of life and make new friends, bathrooms and dorms are clean. The customer services warmed my heart. They go out their way to make you feel welcomed.

  • 5/5 Ashley L. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed at St Christopher's for Berlin Marathon. We had a double room with shared bathroom facilities; the room was clean, comfortable and spacious. Convenient location with a metro station immediately out front. Was surprised at how quiet the room was for having a busy bar downstairs. Highly recommend for the price vs value.

  • 5/5 panagiwta d. 1 year ago on Google
    Best hostel I've ever been!!! Clean rooms and always clean bathroom!! Extremely friendly and helpful staff.. we loved the beerhouse downstairs. It had great rock music, and good food .. at the reception there is this girl called Stavrianna. She is lovely and always happy to guide you around the city.. We're definitely gonna revisit this place ❤️

  • 4/5 jedda a. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed in a 16 bed mixed dorm for two nights. It was a bit hard to sleep due to people coming in at random hours of the morning, and a loud person talking around 8am but these are to be expected. Each bed had a curtain which was good. Good location, nearby to lots of cafes, shops, public transport and bars. Free breakfast (book direct) was pretty decent. Common areas were good for socialising. Would be even better if it had a kitchen too.

  • 5/5 Dani P. 11 months ago on Google
    Definitely, it is well worth staying at this hostel. The staff is really kind and will always help you with whatever needs you may have. It has its own bar called Belushi’s, which is always crowded and offers good prices and discounts for the guests. The food is of great quality and provides the best value for money. There are many highly-rated restaurants offering cuisine from around the world, as well as bars. The subway is located just in front of the hostel, but I would recommend renting a bicycle since it is the fastest way to reach the city center while enjoying the city's landscape. They sell padlocks in case you forget yours.

  • 5/5 Jonathan H. 11 months ago on Google
    Stayed in the two person private room. Wasn't clear from the listing that it was actually an apartment, which ended up being great! Rooms were clean, beds comfy, windows opened for fresh air while sleeping. A+++. This hostel is definitely the less social of the two, if you want a party stay at Mitte one.

  • 5/5 Justin P. 11 months ago on Google
    This is the best hostelling experience I’ve ever had. The staff is very friendly and extremely accommodating, the bar is a regular bar (not just there for the hostel) so it’s open very often and you can commingle with the other members, I have never felt more welcomed. I left Berlin and when it returned a week later, I felt as though I was coming home. I will absolutely stay here again.

  • 5/5 Carson S. 10 months ago on Google
    12-person room was quite decent! Everybody is here to party so earplugs and an eye mask are essential. Bring an extension cord for your phone charger, and note that there were no shelves in the bunks!

  • 2/5 Andrea P. 5 months ago on Google
    The worst hostel I've ever been to. Good things: Location is perfect. Right in front of the hostel there is an U-bahn station. There is a kettle in the room and you also get towels. In the bathroom, there are toiletries. Bad things: Don't even think about coming without the earplugs. There is so much noise. Either from the huge, crowded bar that is downstairs or from the people talking in the hallways because they don't have anywhere to go since there is no common room or kitchen which is my another point - there is no kitchen even we saw it in the pictures. We had bunch of food we had to finish because of it. Luckily is wasn't something we would have to cook. Beds were terrible. Part of the wooden bed slat was fallen on the ground and even when I fixed it I still felt like sleeping in the hole. Every time I wanted to turn I was worried that it will fall again (which ofc eventually happened). My least comfortable sleep in the hostel ever. Definitely wouldn't stay again.

  • 5/5 Pinja H. 10 months ago on Google
    The best hostel in Berlin! I always stay here. They have fun events every night, especially the cocktail masterclass with Giancarlo was super! Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Sandra W. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing! Felt very welcomed as we checked in. The rooms and bathroom are clean and comfortable. Location, the best! the metro station is right across the hostel’s entrance. Would stay here again!

  • 5/5 Izzy E. 8 months ago on Google
    Really nice and cozy hostel. There was a well stocked kitchen and my floor has a bath (though it’s slippery to take a shower in. A 15€ rubber mat would go a long way). The front desk staff were lovely and helped me with a number of small strange requests without showing any judgement

  • 4/5 Elisabeth B. 5 months ago on Google
    The Hostel is IN the sports bar nevertheless the room I stayed in was really quiet. Dorm with 4 female a seperate bathroom and a small kitchen. Staff was nice and friendly. For one night it was totally fine. Locationed at the M8 super fast to go into the city or train station.

  • 5/5 kira l. 9 months ago on Google
    Really nice hostel for the price. Really good bar/ restaurant below too, where you get 25% off food and 2 for 1 drinks if staying at the hostel. Staff were very friendly and spoke good English. The only negative thing I can say about this Hostel is that their lockers are a bit small, not backpack size at all, but all rooms are secure.

  • 4/5 Alison B. 9 months ago on Google
    A little bit dirty, specially bathrooms, but nice people working there. The location it’s not the best but it’s not the worst , I had a nice time there but maybe more activities organized by the hostel would be better. It comes in handy having discounts in the bar and restaurant

  • 3/5 Mohammad C. 9 months ago on Google
    Kind of overrated. It's close to the Alexanderplatz station, that's positive. And yes the bar is great, especially if you come as a group but I mean, it's just a bar like any other! Showers and beds are disappointing. Showers don't get cleaned often enough in the morning and evening (when they're the most used). Beds creak a lot and window curtains are too thin and let all the sunlight get through in the morning. I've been to smaller hostels that were better, don't believe the hype.

  • 5/5 Gunjan K. 4 months ago on Google
    I liked my stay, Comfortable beds. Although one bathroom was dirty, but it was night 11:00, other bathrooms were very clean. Very good location, friendly staff. I will visit again.

  • 5/5 Neil T. 5 months ago on Google
    Stayed over on the 18th October for one night and was so impressed! I am new to hostels but would come back. The apartments are amazing value, great beds and spacious facilities with lounge and kitchen. I was well looked after by the manager, Katerina and also Martin and Kate who also organised a 2 hour walking tour around the city - well worth it!! I would come back!

  • 1/5 Josh C. 6 months ago on Google
    This hostel gets a 1 star from me. Beds are uncomfortable. Floors in rooms are grimy. Showers don't drain. And worst of all...they charge exorbitant amounts for luggage storage. THERE IS NO FREE LUGGAGE STORAGE. also no kitchen. they give you a coupon card for 25% off at the bar (for food), but i tried ordering food in the evening (around 7 or 8 pm), and was told "we can't make you food because the kitchen is too backed up with orders". This place is extremely overpriced, and, though the location is good. it's irrelevant, because transit is so efficient. so go for a cheaper hostel with a kitchen and free luggage storage. THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!

  • 5/5 Phillipp H. 2 years ago on Google
    Stayed here 4 days with a friend. Wanted to go on a cheap citytrip. The staff was great, the food is delicious, the rooms and bathrooms are clean. There are curtains in front of your bed which is great when sleeping in a mixed room.

  • 4/5 Eva Secall A. 1 year ago on Google
    In general, the experience was good, but there were a couple of things that could have been improved. Although the hostel offers towels (by paying 3 euros), they were too small to use for the body, so one could not go to one's room in order to change because the towels could not be put around the body. Also, any noise outside the room could be heard because the door was not really completely closing. Apart from that, everything else was fine.

  • 4/5 Ahmet P. 2 years ago on Google
    It was good enough actually. Also comfortable, the location is perfect. But one suggestion. If you want people to fill out some paper just give them when they are waiting in the check-in line. Time is money right 😌 We checked in almost an hour after the normal time.

  • 5/5 Dylan K. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a very cheap hostel. :) I like it. There is also breakfast included in the cheap price. You can also meet international people in the bar. It was very cool getting to know people and hanging out with them. In your freetime, you can also chill in the bar, e.g. with your laptop. I worked on some things on my laptop there (e.g. on uni stuff). It has a very chill vibe. It would very cool if they also had a wash/laundry room, though. But overall, I would recommend it. It is a cheap way to stay in Berlin.

  • 5/5 Hol Horse (The E. 2 years ago on Google
    Classic hostel, the cliché of any party hostel, fun if you make friends, uninteresting if you feel like being on your own. Good prices, location, showers, the pillow could be a little more fluffy, but was okay. The beds definitely needs some WD40. The staff are well just their doing their job. Long gone the time where hostel staff actually try to spend time with people. Not complaining, just saying. Special message to guy in charge of the "hostel advertisement" on the hostel tv's. Feels like the all marketing is about "don't worry bro, you won't be sleeping alone in our hostel, you're sure to get some". Well I didn't get any, despite my efforts, false advertisement here. (Waka-Waka) Definitely good stay, would recommend. 😎

    Great hostel with a really nice ambience. Prices are good and decent breakfast, nice staff and great location. Entrance to the Ubahn is right in front of the hostel. The appartment itself was a bit outdated, but it was very clean and the view made up for it. The pillows and duvet were flimsey but overall a great experience!

  • 5/5 Latif S. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved this location so much! it was close to everything and at the same time very chill area surrounding it. very easy to get to anywhere with no time. staff were super friendly and they go with a backpacker vibe. I stayed for 4 nights and I met really cool people there too. I loved that they give free breakfast because you can go down in the morning and find a delicious food/coffee waiting. My favorite hostel in Berlin!!! <3

  • 3/5 Henry J. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun environment, clean rooms and bathrooms. Bar in lobby is a great common social space, especially in the evenings. Not very well organised, my booking(through their site) was found on one of their systems and not the other. Night reception gave me a bed in the wrong room, then had me change into an already occupied bed the morning after leading to 2 am arguement with its occupant. My friend had to change beds twice as they kept giving him occupied ones. Continental breakfast is everything but: merely a bag with an apple and snack bars. Bottomless coffee in the morning was nice, though! You can probably find better lodging elsewhere in the city.

  • 3/5 Kirau K. 2 years ago on Google
    Service lacks some human touch and understanding. Too much top down organised , makes it feel like a industry where you are a number . Try to charge you for everything even keeping you luggage after checking out they charge you, if you book online through their website you get a free breakfast which isn’t great anyway , but than if you extend at the desk you can forget about your breakfast. This kind of hospitality is not my style , the workers are just taking orders without any human touch or connection. Unfortunately more and more hostels are owned by big investment groups where they create this kind of customer treatment, basically they don’t need to care about you because they are big enough and tourist take their bad treatment as it’s normal . Where is the human connection !? Oh and there 2 for 1 offer is an absolute joke , actually it’s very misleading almost a scam

    Ashley was amazing and very welcoming person! I loved the stay here.. No matter how busy she was she was always positive and warm! The food was very lovely, and all atmosphere in the hostel was above my expectations Thank you guys!

  • 2/5 Steven Murphy C. 2 years ago on Google
    The bed was good because I like having a privacy curtain but the curtain was 1.5ft / 400mm too short to cover the length of the bed so I had to use a towel to cover the rest. The paint on the walls in the room was terrible. the landing where the stairs was is very dirty and dark it almost felt like it was abandoned. One morning I woke up to go toilet and there was spit in the sink with blood 🩸 Thee is one spacious shower on the floor between 50/109 people the shower is good. The bathroom had two cubicles and only one was working when I went in there was no loo roll so I just used the females. I was put in a room with 3 guys that were very nice but were so loud throughout the night and coughing continuously🥴 All of the sanitation kits were useless, always empty and none in the right spots behind all doors as you need to touch the main doors as you enter each floor. There were vending machines were all empty. If you book with the hostel directly online you get free breakfast which is the only good thing. The staff in reception were very nice. This is not their responsibility. If the owner/manager doesn’t step up to the mark how can they.

    Nice friendly place, decent staff, clean rooms and clean wash facilities, what more do you want ? And the food above the average hostel

    The accomodation is very cheap concidering its location and what you get. However it can be a bit noisy at times and the rooms are a bit worn down, for example some of the carpets and furitures have stains and scratches. 24 hour reception is a big plus.

    It's incomprehensible that a place that auto-calls itself a "hostel" proudly says it does not want to offer a kitchen. A hostel is the kitchen. No kitchen = No hostel. This is it. A hostel kitchen is the root of socialization, and a drunk people's bar is something else. Got it?

    Value for money. Clean. Good vibes. Great location. Out of an Uban station. Some of the guys who work there are really not friendly and slow! It can get noisy specially if you are sharing the room with strangers!

    This was a very social hostel with a bar, food, and lounge area downstairs. It was easy and fun to meet people and watch a football game, get some drinks, or play table games. The location was amazing with a train station right across the street not even a minute away. It was located within walking distance of lots of things to do. Lots of places to eat, museums, and tourist attractions all around. The rooms were alright. I stayed in an 8 person mixed dorm and the fan had broken and they weren't able to fix it in the time I was there so everyone in the room was sweating like crazy. We were able to open the windows just a little which helped but it was uncomfortable with how hot the room got. Also, be prepared for some noise at night. Because it's a social hostel, people will be playing loud music and talking right outside so if you're on the first floor like we were, you'll hear it. If you are sensitive to noise and need to get sleep, perhaps consider somewhere else. The staff were very kind and helpful! Towels for rent for 3 euros, bikes for rent 12 euros a day. 5 euros to buy a lock if you forget one for the lockers underneath the beds. Overall, I really am glad I picked this hostel. It's great for young travelers who just need a place to stay and want to meet some folks. I'll stay here again when I'm in Berlin next!

    As a seasoned traveler, I can attest that finding a quality hostel at an affordable price can be quite the challenge. ST CHRISTOPHER'S INNS, however, stands out as a shining example of excellent value for money, particularly for students and solo travelers. Upon entering the hostel, I was immediately impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. Check-in was smooth and efficient, ensuring a hassle-free start to my stay. My room was clean, comfortable, and offered all the basic amenities required for a cozy night's sleep. One aspect that deserves special mention is the breakfast offering (as seen in the attached video). While most hostels offer a modest continental breakfast, ST CHRISTOPHER'S INNS goes the extra mile with a delicious and satisfying spread. The variety was impressive, catering to diverse tastes and dietary preferences. This hearty meal provided the perfect start to a day of exploring and sightseeing. The hostel's location is another significant advantage, as it is situated in close proximity to major attractions, public transportation, and vibrant nightlife. This makes it a convenient base for any traveler looking to maximize their time and experiences in the city. ST CHRISTOPHER'S INNS also boasts a lively social scene, fostering an inclusive and engaging environment for meeting fellow travelers. This is particularly beneficial for solo adventurers or students looking to make new connections and share their experiences. While the hostel is not a luxury accommodation, it does deliver on its promise of providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay at an unbeatable price. Overall, I highly recommend ST CHRISTOPHER'S INNS to any student or solo traveler in search of a budget-friendly option without sacrificing quality or comfort.

    o.k. to stay for a while, but facilities (shower room, tap) are often out of order. Breakfast is mainly sandwiches and breakfast cereals. Fresh fruit like apple/banana.

    St. Christopher’s seems, to me, a top competitor for the best hostel in Berlin. We were staying during the week and there was still so much happening. Things that stood out to me were: the competitive prices (paid €33 p/n for a dorm with 8 beds), friendly staff, the bustling downstairs bar where guests receive some good deals and we met some pretty cool people, the free breakfast (book directly) and the general proactiveness of the hostel. The location was pretty good: <10 minute walk from Alexanderplatz station and quite a lot to do in the vicinity. Definitely a bit sketchy at times, while perhaps this is just Berlin, I’m sure you could find more up market/fancier areas. Nonetheless had quite an adventure there. Clean rooms and facilities, private curtain on each bed and the large number of guests frequenting was also very nice. Only criticism would be how dim the lighting in our room was. There is also no kitchen (as I think the idea is that you buy food from the bar) so perhaps just bear that in mind. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Their name also seems to have very little connection to the religious orientations of the staff, guests or hostel.

    Great location, friendly staff and good rooms with storage and private curtain. It's a shame I was rudely awakened by someone in my room at the early hours, who caused no end of grief, but this was no fault of the hostel and risk you take w/ hostels. Unexpected 5euro breakfast was a bonus and great value for money. Lively sports bar downstairs and plenty to do for loners wanting to join large groups with daily events etc. Excellent transport links outside hostel grounds

    Stayed at the female only dorm and was a lovely experience, the room was quite spacious with sockets and storage space for each bed. Location was perfect as it is in the city center and within walking distance to main attractions. Generally will highly recommend the female dorm and the hostel is budget friendly too.

  • 4/5 Olinka M. 1 year ago on Google
    The hostel is a great place for food drinks and chillin! Nice environment and nice people working and staying there. Very good location. The beds are not the best but the price quality ratio is good. all in all very pleasantly surprised by our stay!

  • 4/5 Karen R. 1 year ago on Google
    The room was really quiet, a small oasis. The room and bed sheets were super clean and comfortable. Key card stops working sometimes which can be quite inconvenient if you leave your room to go to the bathroom at night and then cannot get back in. There were 2 x 4 bed female dorm to share one bathroom... not very easy to get out in the morning if it is always occupied. Kitchen was good. Facility was bright. Had to walk through the noisy bar to check-in and to go to the room but that was no problem in the end. Overall positive experience because the room was nice and quiet.

  • 2/5 M-K.B 1 year ago on Google
    Good location, near center of Berlin. Hygiene could be better (especially toilets and shower !). Staff is really nice except for one woman who was a little rude. It's a nice hostel for cheap nights but it's worth paying a little more for better service.

  • 5/5 Eriko S. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed my stay in the hostel, the facilities are good for sleeping, spend "Dead hours" to rest and prepare to go out. The bunk beds have a courtain so some privacy can be achieved. And the location offers many advantages such as good connectivity with the public Transport, Cafés, and food places.

  • 3/5 Lucy M. 1 year ago on Google
    The hostel is in a really good location, but the rooms are somewhat lackluster. The paint was peeling in some spots, and the lights did little to light them up. The bar is generally pretty good, and you get some good discounts as a guest, but it doesn't really makeup for the rooms. The breakfast is mediocre, even by hostel standards. The showers also don't have a place to put clothing, and since the water pressure is so high everything gets wet. It's not horrible, especially if you're only there for a night and aren't spending a lot of time indoors, it just isn't great either.

    This hostel was the worst experience I've ever had with Airbnb. There are many points to be commented on. If you are a woman traveling alone in Berlin, this is a place to be avoided. There are only men staying in space and chauvinism is structural in all spaces. On my second night (25/04/2022) a very drunk and smelly man lay down on the bed below mine. He was talking to himself, spilling drink across the room, his face was bruised, with a look of cuts, even half bloody and visibly disoriented. I felt embarrassed and afraid. I went to reception around 5 p.m. and the attendant (a man) told me there was nothing he could do and that I was “in a hostel”, implying that I should be aware that this kind of situation could happen. In other words, I had to accept all that, regardless of how I felt, period. He also told me that “nothing had happened yet”, as if he could only do something after something bad actually happened, as if it was only possible to cure and not prevent. I wonder if a female attendant would have that kind of attitude towards me. Even if it was not possible to give me another bed, in another room, due to the capacity of the place, the least that is expected from the people at the reception of a hostel is that they welcome you, listen to you and do not minimize your concerns. If he couldn't get me another bed, he could have noted my contact details to talk to me later about any vacancies that might open up during my stay. But no, the hostel's position was to ignore my fear and pretend that there was no problem (“yet”). Faced with this situation of neglect and fear of being alone in a room with an unknown person in that state, I went out for a walk and when I came back, I was talking to some roommates (also men) who minimized my concerns and treated me as if I was the problem. They even told me that I was only afraid because I was from the South of the globe, that in Europe there was no violence against women and that I should stay calm. In every space, I felt diminished as a human being, as if the things I said didn't matter. The next morning I went to shower in the women's locker room and there were men showering there too. In the (female) bathroom, men used the space naturally. Guests simply thought they were above the rules, as if they didn't need to respect spaces and the administration of the place, in the face of this situation, did nothing about it. I didn't sleep well because I was worried and there was a horrible smell, I didn't have privacy to shower, to change clothes, I didn't feel respected by the guests and the administration, that is, the experience was horrible and I felt strongly the weight of chauvisnism on my shoulders. There, I had no space anywhere simply because I was a woman. On all the days I spent there, I was only attended by a woman and I consider that the only positive part of the hostel. The attendant Juliana treated me respectfully and cordially from the moment I arrived. When I went to talk at reception about the person who was in my room and smelled bad, I wish Juliana was there, because I'm sure that at least I would be respected. But no, who answered me was a man who ignored what I said. I make it clear that the issue with this attendant was not the fact that he couldn't do anything, but the way he treated me and the way he despised what I said and pretended that nothing was happening. Too bad I was only treated well by the only woman I had contact with. In short, humanity and respect are lacking in this space.

    The price is ok for what they offer. It has a good location, it’s clean and the bar is pretty convenient. Nevertheless, they should put more sockets in the rooms because the one next to my bed didn’t work. Also the candy machine didn’t work.

  • 1/5 Bunchy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably one of the worst hostels I've stayed at, which is really surprising given the location and reviews. For starters, the downstairs bar smelled strongly of puke the entire 5 days we were there, which is amazing considering how often they cleaned. Maybe something they used? But I started thinking I was going insane and asking other people and they agreed. Because the bar smelled so strongly of puke, I didn't try to meet anyone there. It didn't look like it would have been a fun place to meet people anyway. It had the energy of a hooters on a Sunday. Not great. A big issue I had was that there was no determined time that showers were cleaned. They were clean showers, but we ran into instances of them being cleaned (apparently an hour and a half long process at least) at the worst possible time. Many hostels make this a coordinated effort with specific cleaning times posted so that people can work around this schedule. You cannot do a late checkout day of. You have to let them know the day before, which defeats the purpose of late checkout. The staff was fine but a little slow. Very friendly though. Rooms were totally fine too. Clean and comfortable. Liggage storage nearby is reasonably priced (most hostels do this for free but I actually appreciate a bit of security instead of a random luggage room. Plus it's a large hostel) Really what you are getting here is a place to sleep in a good location. You aren't getting any of the things that makes staying in hostels great, and there are a lot of negatives. I would highly recommend you avoid this place unless they get new management that can actually run a hostel and not just a hotel.

    Overall a nice place to stay. Service was great, breakfast was totally worth it, and a fun atmosphere. A few downsides were that they were out of stamps and other reception things, and the location was quite a hike from the train station although it was a nice neighborhood once there! Relatively safe as well for female and solo travelers!

    Great hostel for the price, lots of people staying so we made friends quickly. Nice bar but it's not open all the time. Breakfast was OK.

    This accommodation has easily been one of the best hostels I’ve been in so far. The staff, specifically Amelie and Lars, have been absolutely wonderful in their service and treatment towards me. The property was clean, the bathrooms were kept and the reception staff were kind and accommodating. Would definitely Recommend to anyone looking for a very great environment and to meet new friends. Lots of activities to bring people together.

    Check-in took an extremely long time with only one person being available to help a line of maybe 8 parties. Our room had not been cleaned, there was a cigarette in one bed which one of us sat on because it was hidden under a blanket. They cleaned the room quickly after being informed but offered no apology or compensation. One of the windows in the room is missing 2 out of 3 hinges and is barely hanging on. One of the doors on our floor is broken so we have to walk the long way to our room. All in all this was a poor experience.

    My recent stay at St Christopher's Inn Alexanderplatz left a positive impression on multiple fronts. The hostel's vibrant atmosphere, coupled with its prime location near Alexanderplatz, creates an energetic and social environment. The staff was friendly and helpful, adding a welcoming touch to the overall experience. The cleanliness standards were commendable, with well-maintained common areas and dormitories. While the pricing was reasonable, offering solid value for the amenities provided, there might be room for slight improvement in terms of room soundproofing. Nevertheless, St Christopher's Inn Alexanderplatz stands out as a great choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking a lively atmosphere in the heart of Berlin. Without a doubt, I will eagerly return for another stay.
