Hello,The location of the hostel is very difficult, it takes about 40 minutes to get to the city center by public transport, which limits your time quite a bit.The breakfast is okay, there is enough choice and it tastes good too.The service is okay, but could be better.Generally okay, but only suitable for a few days.

The A&O Hostel in Berlin is mainly occupied by students. The breakfast is really highly recommended (lots of choice, drinks, everything quite fresh).The rooms were a bit unhygienic (there was hair everywhere and the ceiling in the bathroom was moldy).There are definitely better hostels but it's still fine for a short time.

If you buy cheap, you buy twice.... Staff incompetent and pretty slow. Pretty dirty in public areas. Reception...you have to spend a lot of time here...everything takes forever. Rooms okay so far... Breakfast is great... Location is also good... 20 minutes by tram to the city... Charging stations for electric cars don't work
