The staff are very professional, they can solve any problems and get the best suggestions. I love the idea that in big room (8 beds) we have the bath-room with shower. By the way, the view from the windows at 526 room is absolutely great. You see all the train station and night Berlin.I love this hostel, if they were little bit expensive (15 Euros for bed) with the breakfast in that payment, it would one of my favourite hostel:)
The room where I stayed was clean and large. And What is most important is so near Zoo staition. So it was so easy to find this hotel. But instead of it, trains are noisy all night... In Berlin trains are served even around midnight. But if you bear only this, this hostel will be a your good choice.
Really good
All people in the reception were very rude, had no young spirit for helping and making fun as you expect in a hostel. We had several problems regarding to pay, to rent towels, sheets, everything was complicated at the helpdesk.
OK regarding location, price, breakfast, some of the staff.. not OK regarding the rooms - very little space or not at all, can be really cramped, the windows can't be open, etc.
It's not far from Hauptbahnhof and is located closely in the station of Zoologischer Garten. That's why it is noisy in the whole night. No free internet.
Bigger hostel, therefore not that cosy and more difficult to meet people, but okay for a city-trip with friends. Location near center. Beds are really noisy and worn out, as are sheets+pillows.
Considered the position and price at same time,it should be the best hostel I had been.wishes!
(BED)BUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
excellent popsition:the hostel is sorrunded by pubs,fast foods,the zoo garden,metro stations (S-bahn,U-bahn) and shopping malls.It's fairly clean!There is a nice terrace bar in the hostel... unfortunatly the blond girl of the staff is very unpleasent,not kind at all!however I suggest it to young people!!
internet too expensive...
The service was good and we were very happy with the location.
Convenient to Banhof, great breakfast, and great price.
Staff not nice at all, really poor quality rooms
The hostel has a very good position. It is close to almost everything. You can make a great tour on foot starting there. It is a great place to stay in if you are planning a short visit to Berlin.
Nicely placed at Zoologisher Garden trainstation. 5 min walk to Kurfurstendam if you are in to international shops and prices. Main attraction at this place gotta be the terasse with bar and the cool atmosphere untill 12.00pm wheres got to shut down because of noice. Its not a good Bar area around the hostel, closes around 2.am bun since trainstation is right next , its allrigt. Cheepest price if you order from hostelclub.com. Have a nice stay :-)
The only negative thing was that there was no airconditioning in the 10-bed room. It was too hot with that many people, even though I slept next too the open window.
Its really cheap, but they charge you even if you use their cutlery and napkins. The worst hostel Ive ever been.
This was a bit of a change from the A&O in Dresden. The location was great, if you don't mind taking the U-bahn or S-bahn at least 2 stops to get places (I just bought the Berlin City card A&O offers, so no problem there). The staff, for the most part, did not particularly want to be there, and I felt more like a number on a computer at this hostel than I have ever felt in even a chain of hotels. The rooms were ok, but, as they weren't cleaned often, the bathroom got kind of nasty. Fairly good value for the money, but next time, I think I'll be paying four Euros more to stay someplace else.
they didnt respect my reservation... make me wait a lot and at the end i pay more than the price it says here... it was a cheap place actually BUT they need to be clear (whit the prices and the online reservations) i think... the location is good and the place is ok..
