Lovely place.
Pros:

Location was fantastic. The yard of the hostel & overall facilities were quite good.

My locker was broken & even though I’ve informed the staff they haven’t done anything to fix it during my stay.

Pros:

המיקום מעולה, מיטות יחסית נוחות וארוחת בוקר בסיסית אבל אחלה

Cons:

אין נקיון של החדרים חוץ מהחלפת פחים - גם כשנשארנו כמעט שבועיים וביקשנו נקיון

perfect location in Friedrichshain
Pros:

sicuramente la location e il prezzo (uno dei più bassi che abbia trovato in ostello) sono stati la cosa migliore.
ho avuto la fortuna di avere per due notti la camera da sei tutta per me.

Cons:

l'ostello è molto grande e proprio per questo si presta molto a ricevere comitive numerose come scolaresche in gita...purtroppo una mattina sono stato svegliato dal continuo rumore dello sbattere delle porte di questi studenti che lasciavano l'ostello la mattina presto

Wir fanden es super bei euch,, ich bin froh, dass wir nicht woanders hin sind!
Pros:

Ich habe mit meiner Tocher das Hostel gewählt (es wurde mir von meiner älteren Tochter empfohlen) und hatte ursprünglich Bedenken, ob es mir vielleicht zu laut sein könnte nachts.... Wir waren im hinteren Gebäudebereich untergebracht (glaube A) Ich habe hervorragend geschlafen, das Zimmer als sehr angenehm empfunden. Ich fand das Bett sehr bequem. Nachts war es total ruhig, bis auf einmal in einer Nacht, als wohl (KURZ) irgendein Müllauto gefahren ist. Da wir zu spät mit dem Buchen dran waren, hatten wir ein Mehrbettzimmer. Ideal für eine Jugendliche und Mutter, so hatte jeder seinen "Bereich" und preislich war es immer noch viel günstiger als anderere Hotels, die wir angesehen haben. Meine Tochter fand die Lage auch prima, da ist einfach direkt in der Gegend etwas geboten zum Essen gehen, was trinken etc. ; Einkaufsmöglichkeiten wie Lidl etc gleich nebendran. Wir waren nicht auf Luxus aus, sondern auf eine gute Übernachtungsmöglichkeit. Bei Fragen war der Service sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, auch beim Online-Einchecken. Für Ausflüge ist die Lage auch prima, da die S-Bahn direkt um die Ecke ist und ich es auch nachts nicht "unheimlich" fand. Ich bin sehr froh, dass wir dieses Hostel für unseren Kurzurlaub gewählt haben. War schön bei euch ! Ich hatte das Doppelbett, die Tocher das Hochbett. :-) -war genau richtig.

Cons:

Wenn ich sehr pingelig wäre, hätte die Dusche etwas besser geputzt sein können. Ich empfand es aber nicht als eklig oder so. Daheim sieht es auch nicht immer superduper aus :-), ist auch klar, dass das Treppenhaus nicht 1a geputzt sein kann, wenn da ständig Schulklassen rauf- und runtergehen. Ich schreibe es halt mal dazu.

Langes Wochenende
Pros:

Die Lage, gute Anbindung an öffentlichen, Nähe zum Boxi, Gastronomie in der Nähe. Schön ist auch, dass es eine kleine Bar gibt und einen ruhigen Innenhof.

Cons:

Im Haus C hatten wir ein DZ zur Boxhagenerstr. hin. Es war warm und mit offenem Fenster sehr laut.

Pros:

Room was nice but no lockers is a bigggg no. Haven’t seen creeps and there’s kitchen which is great but it was kinda dirty and not really clean dishes. I like east Berlin so enjoyed it and it’s close to berghain and well Friedrichshain is really nice and the hostel is in the center of it so many many nice places and streets. But must say it’s relatively far from many areas in Berlin buttt I feel like it’s really fine because the public transportation is really close and also it’s close to many super markets. The main thing I didn’t like is the shower and toilets inside like wtf. But fine. Recommend!

Cons:

No lockers
Toilets and shower are in the room
Noise because big school groups

Also when I stayed there was a gas leak or smth like that and we had to leave the rooms and get checked, it was like an hour the whole drama. I would assume it’s not a regular thing but ah take in consideration.:))

confort très moyen mais rapport prix/qualité passable
Pros:

personnel à l'accueil et au bar très serviable, parking facile

Cons:

confort moyen : évier bouché, pas de chaises dans la chambre, pas d'armoires, propreté à améliorer.
Il faisait trop chaud dans la chambre et la fenêtre ne peut pas s'ouvrir en grand.
Pas d'explication pour l'ascenseur qui doit être appelé et commandé par la carte de la chambre
