The hostel is about acceptable but area isn't good
Managers at the reception were friendly and helpful. The whole lobby area itself smelled very bad on Saturday all afternoon. It seemed to have been cleaned next day and there was no smell anymore. The room was clean, beds comfortable. The neighborhood is not pleasant, not a single normal restaurant around, just tiny places with low-quality fast food taking only cash for payment, untidy tables, crowds of unpleasant people, dirtiness, people smoking everywhere. It did not feel safe despite of lots of police. Would never stay in this area anymore.

Paolo at the Grand Hostel Urban was the kindest person I met during my trip to Berlin! I never felt uncomfortable talking to staff and asking questions about my stay. The check-in was smooth, and the drinks/coffee offered downstairs were incredible. The breakfast buffet was convenient and delicious, and had a lovely view of the streets and the Fernsehturm at a distance.The location is conveniently next to U8 which takes you to Alexanderplatz where there are a lot of famous sights and easy connections to other parts of the city. Though I had a few uncomfortable encounters around where I stayed, I would recommend booking with Grand Hostel Urban.

We stayed in a double room with en suite facilities. Very affordable so we were surprised at the facilities. Very clean very comfortable bed. Staff were very welcoming. The Hostel is more like a hotel which is good and is very central in location. Lots of great cafes restaurants and bars all in easy access. Public transport is right outside the door making it very easy to get around Berlin. Brilliant choice

Great!
I stayed in a private room for one night. Really nice room, comfy and plenty of room. The staff were really nice. Reception had a strange smell, not sure if that was a one off or not but you are not in the reception for long anyway so it doesn't matter too much

This hostel was perfect for my first trip to Berlin! The single room was very affordable, the staff was very helpful, and it was both close to the U Bahn and centrally located for what I wanted to see and do on the trip. Having the option for a nice breakfast was also great when I wasn't up for venturing out to a cafe.

The staff here is so nice & helpful. Super close to the subway that takes you straight to Alexanderplatz. Cafe Suss across the street was my go-to for coffee, pastries & sandwiches in the morning. The street that it's on is full of Middle Eastern fast-casual restaurants with delicious food with massive portions & great value in terms of quality/service. The hotel itself is pretty basic in terms of amenities, but the fast/reliable wifi was my main priority.
