Perfect location, close to everything. I stayed in a pod which wasn’t so bad. It was just very hot overall, the fan in the pod didn’t work as well. Also had an issue with the drying machine. After 4 hours of having my clothes in the dryer, they still did not dry. The employee at the reception ended up having to dry my clothes separately where they dry their sheets because it was already 2am and my clothes were all still wet.

Unsafe
Upon my arrival, I encountered a highly unsafe and unsanitary environment. The lobby was filthy, and the public bathroom contained drug paraphernalia, including used needles. This situation was alarming and unacceptable, prompting me to leave immediately for my safety. I attempted to contact the hotel numerous times over the following days to report these issues and request a refund but received no response. As a result, I reached out to Hotels.com immediately to let you know about the situation and to ask for help. The fact that Hotels.com has been unable to secure a refund despite my immediate notification and the severe conditions at the hotel is deeply concerning. This situation goes beyond typical refund policies—it involves serious health and safety violations that made it impossible for me to stay at the property.

Nice modern hostel with great facilities.
This is a great hostel in Berlin, everything is very new & trendy. The rooms are great and have a seperate shower and toilet. The bar downstairs is great to meet new friends, very social area. The only thing is that I think the lockers in the room need improving, the door on mine was broken but other than that all great.
