Overall we enjoyed our 7 day stay in this hostel. Here’s the details.
Location: 10/10 super close to several train and bus stations, close to the East Side Gallery of the Berlin Wall, plenty of restaurants and coffee shops around, lots of bicycle and scooter rentals, a couple parks.
Vibe: 9/10 staff is super friendly, available almost 24/7. There’s a chill bar / lounge area with a separated indoor smoking space. The hostel itself seems like a converted old factory and it just adds to its charm and character.
Comfort: 9/10 the beds and bedding were nice, towels are provided but you’ll have to bring your own toiletries. The factory atrium design does amplify and echo loudly any sound made in the atrium but nothing a pair of ear plugs can’t fix.
