The staff and pod beds were great. The hostel was let down as the pods barely have any ventilation and in 40+ degree heat were almost unbearable. In cooler days though I’d recommend the hostel as it’s well run, in a great location and value for money

I've never stayed at a hostel before so I don't know whats standard and how my stay compares. The employees were all friendly and helpful. I found my pillow to be inadequate; it barely had any stuffing in it. The dorm i stayed in got quite warm and had an odour but it was no doubt the other people in the room and not the room itself.

After I booked this place I red that had some bad reviews so I was a little worried about this place. I booked 3 nights and for me I had a good experience, the communication with their staff was good, the place was clean it has a small kitchenette so I was able to cook some meals. It’s not a 3 or 4 star hotel but I had a goos stay.

The location was great and the staff are super helpful! The vibe of this place is really great for young ppl wanting to travel and meet people and hang out in the bar/lobby. 4/5 stars cuz the bathrooms weren't always super clean or would be occupied. Would definitely stay here again!

I had a fantastic stay! The bed was surprisingly comfortable. Loved that they supplied free towels. The room was large with plenty of space to sort my belongings. The bathroom was an entire room with the toilet and shower! It was right next to multiple transit options! Excited to stay again in a week.

Great hostel! Although breakfast price was way too high so bought breakfast elsewhere, and it looked like it was understaffed with the staff being overworked. One guy said he had only gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before. Great location, great prices, and clean! Will definitely come here again soon!

Brilliant, really surprised.

Stayed here in Berlin and I have to admit, I’ve never stayed in a low cost hostel before so yes I was slightly apprehensive about what waited for us 😂 I needn’t have worried. check in was first class, young man (hearts fc supporter) was brilliant, rooms were excellent. For what we paid it was tremendous. Zero complaints at all. Will defo stay again.
