Industriepalast Berlin

I usually try to book hostel rooms only for women so I was a bit worried this time around. Luckily there were a lot of women staying, attending the same concert and we were coincidently roomed together. The beds were comfy, the window was big. The location was good; the Uber eats Arena and tram stop "Warschauer Straße" was a 10 minute walk away. The reception has comfy sofas to chill in and charge your phone, even if you're already checked out. I appreciated being able to stay for a bit because I needed to urgently book concert tickets.

Great location next to various restaurants and bars, train and bus stops, and the East Side Gallery. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, spacious kitchen and a cozy backyard. Inside our dorm room there was a sink and lockers that fit our large backpacks. Great atmosphere in the backyard and lobby where people hung out and could play pool, and in our experience the staff, as well as other guests, were very friendly. We could check out at 5 am without any problems as they had 24h reception.

We were instantly excited to be staying there, the building and design are really cool, yet very open and welcoming. It felt like staying in a hostel as we wanted, yet it was so well run, organized, and clean, it felt a good step above from other similar places we have stayed. The check in process was easy, and everyone checked which language was best for us and helped us with everything we needed, even going above and beyond to help us print some documents we needed. We rented bikes for 15 euros each, and had breakfast for 10 each. Even the souvenirs were really cheaply priced. The courtyard was lively in the evening but was cleared before midnight for those ready for bed. There were a mix of every kind of traveler from many places end everyone was well taken care of happy to be there. The shared kitchen helped keep our budget down, and the room was bigger and cleaner than other 4 person bunk rooms, and had its own bathroom. It is directly across the street from the tram and train stations and has grocery stores, restaurants and other options right in the neighborhood.

Value for money. If all you need is a clean and affordable place to crash for the night, then this is ideal. Room and furnishings are clean, frugal, and pragmatic. Located close to public transport, S/U Bahn, trams, and bus stop, 25 minutes to the main attractions. East Side gallery and the Wall are close. Several places to eat nearby. Quick and comfortable check-in. Has parking for an additional €10 per night. Is suitable for families too.

I liked the big windows, two of them could even open fully! Was wonderful for getting fresh air into the room. The room was on the back of the hostel, so it didn't face the street and was fairly quiet during the night. The staff members were very friendly.
