Very nice hostel, worth going
Very nice hostel to stay, very spacious private rooms, nice dining room but the kitchen is small if you want to cook something.
Amazing staff and everything was clean, very smooth checkin

A really nice stay
Very nice stay in a well-connected part of Berlin, very friendly staff who even upgraded me to the ensuite room (even the guys remodeling the lounge were really friendly when I accidentally wound up there), and convenient breakfast location. If I had any things to make people aware of beforehand, it's that I didn't see a lift, so be ready to climb stairs particularly if you're on one of the higher floors.

Family visit
Good hostel for a solo stay. Clean, inexpensive, near public transport. I choose this because it is close to where my family lives.

Nice base for operations during the holiday, very basic but this is to be expected in a hostel, after all, it is not a hotel.

Family friendly and great location
This was a really pleasant hostel. I stayed here with my children and we all liked it. The kitchen access is clean and well functioning. Pretty too. There is a great little lounge area and free coffee and tea all day. The shared bathrooms were so clean and neat, we never even noticed that we were sharing. The rooms were clean and had all that we needed. The beds are a little narrow, but clean and comfortable. The halls are old so the floors are squeaky. If you are sensitive to sounds at night, you should ask to be in a room facing the inner courtyard (away from street) and up a few floors. The doors are locked a night for safety and the neighborhood is great. Short walk to transportation and 1 minute walk to grocery store. Tons of great food options in the neighborhood. We loved the staff, all of whom were so helpful and friendly. We will be back again!
One word of advice - if you arrive after the lobby closes, you cannot get into a room. Check lobby hours and make arrangements. I ran into a few customers outside the hostel who arrived late in the evening and were unable to get their room.

Estancia agradable y buena situación
Es un albergue de nueva generación en el sentido que ofrece habitaciones individuales y toallas como un hotel pero hay que compartir el baño, que no es un problema ya que hay varios en cada planta y siempre los he encontrado limpios. Además, tuvimos que llamarles por teléfono en dos ocasiones, una por olvidar la contraseña de acceso y otra por alargar la estancia un día más y en ambos casos nos atendieron rápidamente y fueron resolutivos. Hemos estado muy cómodos.

Sehr familienfreundlich u direkt im Prenzlberg. Nette andere Gäste. Zimmer groß genug, nur die Duschen könnten n Moment länger warm sein. Wir kommen wieder. Sehr zu empfehlen.

The price was way too high for how dirty and old it was. The place was extremely smelly and underconstruction. Our hotel staff gave us a room that was not cleaned and still has previous guest's trash in it
