For the first time in a few years, we changed the location from Charlottenburg and regular hotels to Kreuzberg and a hostel. At first I was afraid that it would not be what I was used to, but it turned out that it was actually much better. The whole neighborhood of this hostel has a great atmosphere, probably the one that is closer to Berlin - interesting and great restaurants/cafes, vintage shops and local shops without fast fashion shops. In the end, the hostel itself was more cozy than I imagined. Everything was very clean and I feel that it was cleaned several times a day. I swear I didn't see a single hair on the ground there the whole time :D - I just mean it was really very very clean. In addition, Kathrin is a very nice woman who is friendly and if you need anything, she is very happy to help - she even offered to leave my things at the hostel, she gave me an extra key and I didn't even have to ask :) I definitely recommend this place!
