My brother and I stayed here for 5 nights, and overall enjoyed our stay! We had a private room on the upper floor."Cons":- Hostel feels a bit worn, but not in a bad way. It feels like a very well-loved, but well-lived in home- The location is a bit far from major Berlin attractions, we ended up needing to commute for 30+ min each dayPros:- Incredibly welcoming staff- Worn but well-kept facilities. The shared bathroom especially was cleaned daily- Extremely quiet location (though this was likely due to our room). My brother and I were very pleasantly surprised as we were able to get good rest- Our room was great (but YMMV, we had D2). It was very large, with tons of natural light and a surprisingly comfortable bed- Great location for good food (esp vegan) and thrifting

Unable to sleep at all due to paper thin walls and room next to reception. Great location and nice staff. Would be 5 stars with proper soundproofing.

I spent 6 nights at this hostel and it really started to feel like home. When I arrived staff were really open and made me feel at ease, especially Tim. I was in a shared dorm where everyone was super respectful. This is NOT a party hostel, instead providing a space for meaningful connection with other travellers. The hostel had such a vibe, comfy beds and nice hot showers. Location for me was excellent. 10/10 would stay again. Thank you backpacker berlin!
