    The location was great, the breakfast - good and plentiful. There is a bus connection on the other side of the street and the property is in about 700m to the S-Bahn stop.

    Nice

    For a hostel the equipment was ok.

    The location was not very nice, in the middle of blocks of flats

    Nice, friendly and helpful Reception staff, neat and cosy rooms for a reasanoble price.

    Quite far away from the city center with good communication though.

    The hotel is a far city located hotel with hundreds of rooms. The worst thing is it Internet Access. It uses an Internet service provider named DaPhix Hotspot which is the worst Internet service I have ever seen. I paid 25 Euros for 3 different voucher, but could NOT get connected easily even for 1 hour. Their authentication server was almost always down or hanged, no body was inside the company to even restart the system!

    Good value for money. Very well connected to Berlin city center by S- Bahn. Possibility to buy the "berlin welcome card" and tourist info directly at the Hotel.

    A small shared corridor between two different rooms separates the bedroom from the bathroom.

    The staff is friendly and the rooms werwe decent sized and always clean. It is not central so you'd need a reasonable amount of traveling to do to get to the main sites. But the price refelects this and Berlin transport is excellent so I highly recommend this place.

    Some of the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and some others were completely the opposite.Far from the center, but very close to a tram station,so it was easy to approach the center in 15 minutes.Very quiet place and free parking.

    The internet provision was expensive for short time use.The bedocovers were a little bit tatty, but still clean. Expensive for what it offers.
