Very good stay you get what you pay for definitely. Slight negative is it’s quite far from the main parts of Berlin but there’s there’s tram stops literally a 3 minute walk which can take you into alexzanderplatz which you can pretty much get to anywhere in Berlin from so overall would recommend!

This is a budget friendly option for guests who prefer more privacy than a hostel, but it is not as quiet nor convenient as a hotel. The walls and floorboards are thin, so you can hear the other rooms and showers (which are separate from the room). Definitely bring earplugs if you would like a good night’s rest. The location was not the best, the transit options are a 10 min walk, but the transit (tram) are quite unreliable and slow. I would choose an accommodation near the metro next time. Also, there is not much around the hotel, which I suppose is reflected in the price. On the positive, the staff and cleanliness are very good, and the neighborhood itself is quiet.

I wouldn’t stay here if someone payed me. The receptionist at the front desk was very nice, but unfortunately that’s the only nice thing about the hotel. The entrance is sketchy, you first have to enter a dark hallway with long doors, then walk through another long, dark courtyard to reach the hotel. Once you arrive, there is no elevator (which is winding, inconvenient with heavy luggage, and also poorly lit). The room was clean, but the mattress was extremely thin. There was no extra lock on the door (usually on all hotel doors). The entrance door to the bathroom was open to anyone (no scan or code required). Bathroom was not clean, and smelled quite moldy. Lastly, when I went to use the blow dryer (that I contacted the hotel about prior) it did not work and I had to leave the hotel with wet hair on a cold day. Had to switch hotels the very next day. I wish I had listened to the honest reviews and saved my time.

Does the basics well!
This is a basic hotel but great for fleeting visitors like myself. There are individual rooms with shared bathroom facilities - there are plenty on each floor, and the facilities were very clean. Never had to wait to use the toilet or shower. Check in was simple. Access to the hotel outside of reception hours was by keypad which was easy enough. Key swipe card for everything else. Free WiFi on each floor which worked very well. Reception does offer coffee, but there no facilities in the room for this - thankfully this is not a problem as it is 2 minutes from two decent cafés which are very pleasant (Café Melon does an excellent breakfast). The hotel got in contact with simple to follow directions which was very much appreciated to a stranger in a new city! Other facilities nearby include a launderette, handy for prolonged stays. Would gladly stay again. Great value for money.

For the price of the room and the commodities you get/the location; its great. The staff were generally quite helpful. Would definitely stay again if I ever found myself in Berlin for a few days.

Comfortable rooms, sketchy courtyard
I booked a single and it was as pictured - like a dorm room with a detached bathroom down the hall. It was in fact very clean, but the front desk wasn’t the friendliest and you must pay a deposit of €20 for the key and if you leave outside of front desk hours (quite limited), you must leave your bank details on a note in your room with the key and they send you the €20 via bank transfer. Secondly, although the area was fine, it was a bit sketchy as there aren’t many people or businesses along the main road and then you walk through a dark courtyard to the building.

Very sketchy entrance with criminal types hanging out in front. Hard to locate. Shared bathroom was just awful. This place was only worth half of what I paid. Also unexpected fees such as a 10 euro late check in fee and 20 euro key deposit

Good for money
single room and cheap. new simple furniture, shared bathroom good and clean and to many, wifi weak signal but when detected work vvv fast. The staff in the morning very restricted and not welcome at all. she was angry because I ask check in 1 instead if 2PM. the hotel take the money in advance, in addition to 20 euro as deposit. I like the room relative to the price with good location 2 min from Tram station 11 Min from Alexanderplates. I will be thier again if I went to Berlin.

Not so good hotel, but good location.
We arrived at 10PM, so late check-in fee. Check-in time is too early, but that doesn't really bother us because we stayed there for 3 nights. Staffs can speak English, even though not perfect. We couldn't get much sleep in the first night because the guys next to our room came back at 3AM shouting, yelling, and knocking the door so hard. The wall is very thin in this hotel. That night we thought we're gonna give 1-star rating to this hotel, but it gets better in the next two nights (maybe the guys next door already check-out), so we give a better review, but still cannot give more than 3-stars. Good things for this hotel are the price and location.

Good base for exploring Berlin
This is a hotel where you get exactly what you pay for. As a base for exploring Berlin it's perfect with its close proximity to Alexanderplatz only a few tram stops away. The room and the shared showers were clean and the staff helpful (be prepared to practice your German though). The standard of the room was just a step above that of a hostel, but it had wifi and for the low price you pay it is exactly the standard you might expect. If you need a cheap place to stay fairly central in Berlin and don't mind a hostel-feel (but without having to share the room with total strangers) this could be the place for you.

Good Deal
This Hostel was a good deal. It was very comfortable and well kept. My only complaints are that the heat wouldn't turn on and also the towel was way too small. I'd recommend bringing your own towel unless you are a child.

Good hotel.. but very unprofessional.
Hotel facilities were adequate. Shower was fine etc, room was fine. The staff however, not good (well the younger women anyway - terrible). I had to arrange with them the time of my check-in because they shut reception at 6pm. I was in good email contact with them and we arranged that I will be there at 8:00 - 8:30pm. However, when my train was 2 hours late I called the staff up immediately and told them I would be late. They made me feel very uncomfortable as they were more than happy to tell me what an "inconvenience" this had caused them.... When I checked out I asked to leave my bag in the "Luggage Room" (which they have advertised on multiple hodtel sites as a 'facility' they offer). But I was told I could not leave my (very) large suitcase there because they dont have such a room. When I showed to them that their website stated that they had a "Luggage Room" I was given no compromise or empathy. So i had to carry my huge suitcase through Berlin all day. Thanks. They obviously don't care about your stay once they have your money.

Cheap, efficient, poor wi-fi
The good: clean, simple bare bones rooms at a very inexpensive price. Simple, cheap breakfasts. The bad: inadequate plumbing in the shared showers, poor wi-fi. The wi-fi issue is a serious problem because the only place you can get a signal is the common areas, so people tend to camp out in them and make noise all hours of the day and night, and this is despite signs posted in both German and English to maintain quiet hours between 10-7am. If you need quiet in order to sleep this can be problematic.
