If you're visiting Berlin, definitely stay in this little gem! Neukolln was a great base and berlinsurfhostel was so close to many ubahn stations, great food places, bars, grocery stores etc (definitely check out Tempelhof Airfield and Volker's friend's brewery rollberg whilst you're there). My brother and I spent three nights here and couldn't have had a better experience. Before arriving Volker was super friendly, informative, and replied to messages quickly. He gave us detailed directions and instructions way in advance of us ariving, and was really accommodating about early check in. Berlinsurfhostel itself was a gorgeous huge apartment, well stocked - a washing machine and soap powder, a dishwasher, and free tea and coffee were a bonus - and everything was beautifully looked after - it was definitely of hotel quality. The WiFi was strong and the door code really easy to use (it was great to not have to worry about keys!). I couldn't recommend staying here more! Thank you Volker!
