Stayed here once in 2018, and again now. Great rooms, amazing 24hr service (the staff is super nice), and a really good location. Great bars/food/stuff going on within walking distance. I'll always stay here whenever I come back

Generally a pretty good hostel, but I would look elsewhere in summer. Our stay coincided with a heatwave (~35c during the day), and while we didn’t expect A/C or a fan, we expected that we would be able to open the windows for ventilation and for some cooler air in the evenings. However, the windows did not open, and when I asked the desk for a key to open them, they told me they had lost them and couldn’t do anything. I told him this wasn’t acceptable as my girlfriend was ill and needed to rest, and the heat was preventing this, and in response the staff member tried to offer me a complimentary beer as compensation. I asked if they had a spare fan, and the staff member said the only one they had was for staff only. For the price this hostel charges for a private room, they should have hired a locksmith and had them create a new set. Our windows faced the sun, and so when we returned home each evening the room would be close to 30c inside, even with the curtains drawn all day. There was no way to cool the room at night (it was very well insulated, I am sure it is very comfortable in winter!), and consequently we struggled to sleep for the duration of our stay. Obviously this is only an issue during hotter periods, but it is something to be aware of nonetheless. All other aspects of the hostel were good, and I otherwise recommend staying here.

location is good. the area has several bars nearby. the place is kept clean
cooking is not possible. the rooms have no ventilation. the environment and other guests are very unpleasant. The room cleaners are terrible. They come in at 9am and make a lot of noise. they don't care if there are people resting. disrespectful

Great hostel in a fantastic area - supermarket and tram stop across the road, lots of really cool bars outside and great vibes in the hostel with pool and a hang out area inside and out. I recommend the locally brewed IPA at the bar.

Strategically placed in the city center. The area of the hostel is a former beer brewery. They have great service and I enjoyed the breakfast. If I go back to Berlin I would consider this hostel again.

Probably one of my favorites: excellent staff, the breakfast for 7€ is generous. There’s also a free pool table and a very good Wi-Fi, except outside in the garden. Recommend!
