We checked in with a 9m old baby and were sceptical if this hostel could accommodate our needs accordingly. But the staff and everybody was so friendly and helpful, they provided a babybed and there was even a children’s chair at the breakfast room. Really surprising quality for something that calls itself Hostel. We would always go back to Grand Hostel Berlin!

Bedarf gedeckt

Leider wurde bei der Buchung Einzelbetten angezeigt, vorgefunden hat man aber Etagenbetten. Leider alles sehr laut, sei es der Zimmerboden, Türen oder die Schubkästen unter den Betten. Sonntag morgens um 7.45 Uhr hat die Reinigungsperson im Nachbarzimmer gesaugt was dazu führte das einige davon wach wurden. Ich finde das muss nicht sein!

Angenehmer Aufenthalt

Ich wurde sehr freundlich empfangen und ein Begrüßungsgetränk wurde mir auch angeboten. Das Zimmer/Bad war sauber, nicht unbedingt neuester Standard, aber da ist mir die Sauberkeit tatsächlich wichtiger. Es war allgemein sehr ruhig, ich hatte ein Zimmer mit Fenster zum Hof und ich konnte prima schlafen.

Die Unterkunft war fantastisch. Der Bau ist vermutlich aus den 20er Jahren, die Decken sind hoch und stuckverziert. Die Athmosphäre ist traumhaft. Das Zimmer war komplett in Ordnung. Das Personal war super freundlich, sprach verschiedene Sprachen. Die Lounge war klasse, Sofas, eine Bar, Bücherregale, sehr zum Wohlfühlen.

Duş kullanışlı ama kabinlerin zemini daha temiz olabilir. Teşekkür ederim

It doesn't have a place to wash and dry clothes, besides there isn't facilities for freezing foods or cut an orange or something like that. It's like a hotel, it is not a hostal.

Für ein Hostel recht gut, leider ist es allerdings ein Altbau, d.h. der Boden knarzt und es ist nicht so gut isoliert (sprich warm wenn es draußen warm ist). Ansonsten aber sauber, Lage gut (fußläufig zum Postdamer Platz, aber auch Bus und S Bahn-Nähe) und das Personal war sehr freundlich. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Bewertungen musste man Bettzeug nicht draufzahlen. Sondern nur ein Handtuch oder Schloss wenns wäre, daran könnte man aber auch in der Reiseplanung denken:)
