Location is really ideal for any young person looking to explore the bars and clubs of the city. Easily accessible by U-Bahn (2 mins from U8) and a good simple no frills options. Would recommend for anyone on there own looking for a budget option in the heart of the alternative side of Berlin.

Enough basic cooking equipment to make a simple pasta or something and the wifi worked fine.

Only real downside was that the shower situation totally sucked. It was very hard to use the shower without getting the whole bathroom floor soaking wet. The only setting I could find that didn't spray everywhere was with the shower pointing 20% at my body and 80% at the shower wall, so not the most enjoyable wakeup on a cold Berlin morning. This seemed to be due to the shower head being mounted right at the edge of the shower, instead of in the middle of it, so you had to spray the water horizontally instead of down the way, to avoid it going all over the bathroom.

Overall, fantastic value and location. Just one star deducted because if the silly shower.
