The lobby is beautiful and well kept. The cafe was adorable with great prices. Check room prices daily as the prices change with the number of guests staying there. The fewer rooms available, the higher the price naturally, and it seems to be updated instantly. Friendly staff that spoke English very well. There's a night entrance on the side in case you miss the sign on the main entrance.
A sign with general rules for hostel guests should be required reading. Some of the guys in our room did not respect the rest of us when they came in late. Not the hostel's fault though.
There's a neighboring park with an ice skating rink when it's cold enough as well as a permanent ping pong table outside.
There's a small middle eastern place to eat between the U8 stop and the hostel.
You can walk to the U8 Jannowitzbrucke stop in <10 min.
You can walk to Alexanderplatz in ~15-20 min.
There are a few night clubs about 15-25 min walk away.
Great place. I would definitely stay here again.
