Overall ok, nice staff.The room decor was good and the beds were really comfortable. Location also very good, Spätis and supermarkets nearby.Doors were broken and kept opening, the showers were really disgusting. More of a kind of self-management with hygiene.Kitchen very shabby. There was only one women's toilet on our level, the other one was broken. There is a constant smell of grass in front of the front door 👍🏽. However, for 50€ for 2 nights you can't have that many expectations.Don't know diggi, your thing.

The hostel is very cheap 22€ it couldn’t be easier, especially in the center of Berlin, they greeted me very well, although I don’t know the language, they explained themselves, showed me, 2€ was not enough, they forgave me, since I ordered through booking, there are different prices, everything suited me the room was for 4 people, we were just two of us with a girl, the linen was clean, the beds were comfortable, the shower and toilet were in the hallway, so one could have a great rest! Cheap and cheerful, maybe!

The staff was very friendly during the short introduction and the price was low.That was the positive part.Otherwise it didn't exactly look clean and the mattresses were very worn, but other things were much bigger problems:The metal bunk beds squeak so loudly at the slightest movement that it makes sleeping difficult if someone else in the room moves around a lot. A little oil or better beds would have improved the situation a lot.People kept turning the large room light on until 2 a.m. and not turning it off again, which doesn't allow for sleep with 10 beds in one room. This problem would be much less if the beds had individual small lamps for each one.The worst thing was the fact that they put industrial metal lockers in the room for people! Although everyone tried to put their stuff in there quietly, every item put down made a hell of a noise, not to mention closing the door. This is also very uncomfortable if you want to sleep at 2 a.m. but 9 other people use these lockers at different times.I didn't expect much for the price, but there should be a certain minimum.

DO NOT MAKE A RESERVATION AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!Since February 1, 2023, this establishment is no longer a youth hostel. It is now a center for refugees. We had booked through HostelWorld and paid a deposit and surprise when we arrived we were told they couldn't accommodate us.The people who work there were very kind and we found an arrangement. It's for a noble cause but it's not normal that the previous owner hasn't done an update.Do not book this hostel!!

We arrived after 6 p.m. so reception was closed. All the lights were off and there was no noise in the building. The place was a little scary at first. …

At around €25 per person we didn't expect much. We were just looking for cheap accommodation for New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, something went wrong when checking in. We had booked a 6-person room for 6 people. However, we were divided into 2 rooms on the grounds that another person had extended the stay. This meant that a quiet night was not guaranteed. In our opinion, this is not possible if you have previously said that you will be arriving with a group of 6. The rooms were also not tidy and there was a lot of garbage on the cupboards that didn't belong to our roommates. There was also no toilet paper in the toilet and no towels to dry off with. The dishes in the kitchen were also not clean.We didn't expect much, but we were still disappointed. Too bad.

The reception was really nice and tried to make sure everything fitRoom was very comfortable - it was very warm and there were lockers to lock things up, beds were comfortable and cleanKitchen was well equipped and you had the option to store food in the fridgeSo the price-performance ratio was perfect, especially for BerlinA tip would be to take slippers and a lock for the locker (but you can also rent them for 3 euros)

Scammers give away my money. You took it from me through booking, saying later that there were no places and you would return the money. There is no refund

We booked a stay last weekend and were very satisfied. Above all, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We were also given great recommendations for nearby excursions. We'd love to come back!

A nice, well-kept and clean hostel. The staff very helpful and very friendly.I had a fantastic stay at Corner Hostel a few days ago. The rooms and showers are tidy and there is WiFi access everywhere. The hostel is located in a super green and quiet area and yet is just minutes away from public transport that connects you to all important places in Berlin. The best price-performance ratio in Berlin!

Some large hotel chains should learn a lesson when it comes to flexibility. Just looking for a bed to sleep in after a long drive. The Corner Hostel made it very easy for me to get a place to sleep even at 2:30 a.m.This was not possible with the usual hotels. If I ever happen to be passing through again, I'd be happy to come back.

The hotel was dirty and full of germs. In addition, a stranger slept in our room without prior notice. Absolutely not recommended and far too expensive. I think any other hotel or hostel in Berlin would be better recommended than this one!

School trip: rented a room of 10, suddenly a strange man sleeps in our room. That's why you could hardly sleep and you didn't feel safe either. The price is also far too high for the services you get. It was very unhygienic and dirty. Not recommended!

I spent one wonderful month in Berlin this summer at the Corner Hostel. Immediately, this place felt so welcoming and friendly. If you are a solo female traveller like I was, I recommend the all women's room. Neighborhood is pretty residential, but so cute. Prenzlauerberg has the cutest coffee shops, bakeries, and bars. (If you book here, definitely go to Unsere Cafe a couple blocks away.)Some other notes: In case you are looking for a party or super high energy hostel with a bar, Corner Hostel has chiller vibes. There is a kitchen with food storage! The kitchen were not very clean, however so I didn't enjoy cooking. Shower shoes are a nessecity: the bathroom got pretty dirty at times. This was my one big criticism. This area is still decently far away from the city center (20-30 minute on ubahn) but I didn't find that to be an issue. Berlin is fairly big anyways.If you are looking for a friendly spot in a great neighborhood, please book here.
