I have nothing bad to say about this place. It was my first time staying in a hostel and it was a great experiance. I stayed in a pod/capsule room which gave me just a bit more privacy than those sleeping in the bunks. I could lock my stuff in either a locker or just in my capsule while away and the seclusion of the capsule made it easy to sleep in while others were up walking around. Breakfast was included in my reservation, and though not a huge selection, it was still good. I got a nice bowl of yogurt with oats mix and some coffee each morning. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and from what I could tell, speak many different languages, not just German and English. The location was amazing, a 10 minute walk to either the Hackescher Markt or Friedrichstr. train stations, and a 2 minute walk to Oranienburger Straße station. So you could get practically anywhere from just a short walk. As a solo female traveler I felt safe in this place. The rooms were co-ed but I didn't get any bad vibes from the other guests. I've also seen reviews saying the bathrooms are filthy... but I can say those reviews are wrong. The bathrooms were practically spotless. I walked around the place in sock-feet because it felt so clean. In my three night stay I can assure that the staff were in those bathrooms cleaning every single morning. The lobby/sitting area also had a really chill vibe to it. They were always playing something jazzy or laid back on the speakers and the walls were painted with psychedelic art. Overall for a first time hostel-goer, I give this place a 10/10!

Great hostel - in the heart of Berlin in walking distance to many of sightseeings, also easy to get from the airport with s9, - has special spirit: so nice music playing in the lobby, the stuff is friendly and always there for you, - the breakfast is simple but enough not to feel hungry teel the evening, - there is a kitchen as well where you can cook and fridges to leave food (don't forget to put the note with your room and date of departure), - absolutely safe, - tea and coffee is free, - definitely fits for travelers, who want to discover the city. I didn't have high expectations about the room but it was cosy and had everything I needed,, the bed was also nice, the only thing is that it makes sound tracking for every your movement, but I was fine with it. It's nice that there is a shower and wash stand in the room, toilet in the common area was also okay.

I loved the main lobby/lounge area. It was very cozy, and after a long night, it was a perfect place to spend a few minutes chatting with friends before they left for their own places. My room was quite alright, and I liked the graffiti on the wall. The kitchen was a nice edition and it was not very clear going to the rooms wich made me feel same in return.

Communal kitchen which actually strives to accommodate multiple guests AND, yes, staff actively routinely clear out the refrigerators and trash bins so the space remains clean and inviting. Good Wifi for my purposes. Able to leave luggage for safe-keeping. Free coffee & tea (and water) in the lobby throughout the day. Relatively uncomplicated check-in.

The staff were friendly & funny, they felt authentic, people whom just be themselves and not care what people think; which I enjoyed as it gave the place more personality. The location is the best o could have stayed in, central to all the museums, clubs and restaurants, travel etc: Staff were fluent in English which eased my stay
