I loved this hostel so so much. The dorm was big and spacious and the beds comfortable. The showers were hot and powerful. The toilets clean and lots of space inside the bathroom area. There is a bar and a smoking area which is always full of people because the drinks are cheap and the staff are so friendly. I... more

This was despite its very good reviews in... more

It was within walking distance of many of the things we wanted to see, including Museum Isle. Even the bathrooms are nice. The staff was helpful and bilingual (a huge... more

Very cool hostel in Berlin. Lots of backpackers and young travelers seem to stay here...and it's themed after 'hitchhickers guide to the galaxy." They have a fun reception area, with tons of info on Berlin, a pool table, large screen TV to watch soccer, and most important - a bar! The rooms are decent, brought my own sheets which was... more
