Wonderful couple of nights in Berlin

Great stay in this hostel for a couple of nights. The ambiance is great, very lively. The rooms were comfortable and bathrooms clean. The staff are friendly, I had no issue getting help and they were ready to go out of their way to help me out. I loved my stay here, I highly recommend this hostel.

A bit disappointing

We had booked 2 nights but when we told when we arrived that we have to check out at 10 and check into new room because the made a mistake… so we had to gather our stuff and move??? We wished that the hostel had announced that they have construction workers in the building using electric tool and making ALOT of noise from 7 in the morning. We DID NOT get to rest and get up when WE wanted to.. and that was the whole pilling with this vacay… found trash in the bunk bed, no bedsheets or nothing in the bunk bed and could barely close the door to the toilet?

I know it’s about budget hotel/hostel but it’s a bit of a ride from the city center. For those of you don’t mind take the bus or public transportation, it’s good. But I’d never come stay here again. I just didn’t realize it’s not convenient riding on bus and train. There’s a lot of road construction. Traffic isn’t that good. The property is located at a outskirt with loads of residential areas. Lots of immigrants. The staff is also short at times in the front desk. I didn’t have a good experience checking in. I have an Asian look but I’m an American so that front desk manager wasn’t so nice to accommodate my check in. He just said I had to do a self check in and really didn’t sound polite or friendly.

Took me an hour standing around waiting to check in along with 3 other people. You book a private room with bathroom but bathroom isn’t in your room it’s on the outside in a shared space with another room so be mindful about that when booking & room and bathroom smelt like cigarettes even though we booked a non smoking room.

Dieses Hostel bräuchte mal ein komplettes makeover. Wir waren in anderen a&o Hostels, die gepflegter und sauberer waren. Ich habe die Bettwäsche abgezogen und darunter wartete das Grauen, auf Decke und Kissen große gelbe Flecken, sowie auf der Matratze weiße Flecken. Im Bad roch es die ganze Zeit nach Urin, dicker brauner Rand im WC Becken. WC Brille schief. Die Armatur am Waschbecken sehr verkalkt, und das Abflussrohr verkeimt von außen. An der Decke im Bad ein schwarzer größerer Wasser/Schimmelfleck. Man hatte das Bad nicht im Zimmer, das ist in diesem Hostel nicht ersichtlich in der Buchung. Man kann das WC mit persönlichen Sachen nicht von außen abschließen und nebenan ist noch ein Zimmer mit Bad. Man hat einen Vorraum, wo Zimmer .12 und .13 zusammen in den Vorraum rein können. Hab ich so bei den anderen a&o Hostels nicht erlebt. Fand ich irgendwie gruselig, wenn man z.B. nachts zur Toilette muss und erst in den Vorraum muss. Ich habe über Expedia gebucht, Die Mitarbeiterinnen an der Rezeption sind dafür super nett.

Der Aufenthalt war leider nicht ganz zufriedenstellend. Die Dusche war nicht sauber, hinter dem Bett befanden sich Spinnennetze und Spinnen. Außerdem funktionierte das Licht am Bett sowie der Fernseher nicht. Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn auf Expedia deutlicher ersichtlich wäre, dass es sich bei der Unterkunft um ein Hostel handelt. Diese Information hätte meine Buchungsentscheidung beeinflusst.
