The rooms were clean enough but the service was bad and not friendly. It's a good place to stay for a day or two but not for long

Most of the employees are very unfriendly. Room card doesn't work every now and then. Location is good, you can reach Alexanderplatz in 7 minutes by tram. Toilets are dirty. Homeless people secretly spend the night in large areas. Things are stolen. Overall, unfortunately not recommended.

What a wonderful place to enjoy the environment of slums and refugee camps. No more decoration and only a simple are a good way to rethink our luxurious life. The shower curtains in the showering rooms provided me a good chance to demonstrate my body shape from continuous weight training to the public. Even though there are no air conditioning and no blankets, the temperature is hot and humid enough to fall into coma. It is worthy to have such experience with only risk of getting stolen.
