Die Fabrik Hotel

I liked this hostel from the very beginning. There was a really nice guy working at the reception, and the common area has plenty of tables where you can work or just relax for a bit. I booked a female room which was spacious, comfortable, and I slept so well. I’m really grateful they let me check in a bit earlier, I was so tired from traveling and truly needed that rest. Everything was clean, and I honestly got everything I needed. The location is also great, with lots of restaurants nearby. I could also leave my luggage after check-out. The atmosphere is lovely, and I’d definitely love to come back!

Super friendly hostel in great location, right in middle of bars, restaurants and train station. Yet quiet and chill. Would be 5 star if had some sort of kitchen facilities.

had a really good time here :)|the building is pretty and my room was clean and comfortable. Really mice location, bunch of cool stuff really near and also a short walk from a train station which links you to everything.|Took off a point because it can be pretty noisy, my room was all my friends so it wasn't too annoying but for me anyway getting on and off the top bunk was loud and would wake people up in the middle of the night, and you can hear people in other rooms (doesn't effect sleep much as there is a policy to be quite after 10). ||Overall had a good time would recommend :)

Perfectly adequate hostel. Stayed here twice for concerts. The clientele are quiet which is why we chose it a second time, though some of the doors slam. Not much going on in terms of social activities so wouldn't recommend for solo travellers. But we were booking as a group to go to a concert and had a room to ourselves which was perfect for us. Will probably stay again.

It was a very straight forward process of checking in and figuring out the shared rooms situation. Me and my friend stayed for three days, two nights, for a concert at the nearby arena. The hostels location was perfect, even for late night food to which we just went right next door. Of course, there were some things we would've liked to be informed of beforehand. Such as that you need to either, bring your own lock to keep your belongings save or buy one down at the front desk. There was a slight situation on the second night, because apparently the cleaners had removed both bedding of a person that had checked out and one of my friends' which led to a new person, who had checked in while we were away, to claim the bed my friend had slept in the night before. There was a slight confusion, but nothing major. It was just mildly annyoing to have to put on new bedsheets after a long, strainous day. Also, I would like to preface, that the rooms are definitely not sound proof, so I'd recommend bringing earplugs or something along those lines to block out the noise people make when they move down halls and open doors. Overall, I would stay here again if I ever get the chance. The price was cheap for two people, and sharing a room with others wasn't that big of a deal despite the different plans everyone had. Although, the bathroom situation was...interesting. I wouldn't shower there, since there's two shower stalls, but both have see through doors and I'm not a proud nudist.

We booked a private room with bathroom in included. At arrival they gave us the wrong room with no bathroom at all, we asked in the frontdesk and they said it was a booking mistake, no solution. We decided to stay for one night despite this and the bed was terrible, you could hear all the noise from other rooms, public bathrooms with no furniture to put your stuff in, no elevator. Terrible experience

A nice and cozy hotel with friendly desk staff. Everything is easy to reach from here. And excellent bars are around the corner. The room was big enough and comfortable for my few days stay.

A quiet and tidy place converted from an over 100yd factory, run by some calm and kind German. I rested quite well. Plus there are plenty unique merchants around.

The hotel/hostel is more hostel than hotel. Private rooms (at least in my case) share bathrooms. Not a big deal, as there seemed to be enough bathrooms, and they were cleaned daily and seemed to stay pretty clean throughout the full week of my stay. Pros: courtyard, lobby seating, quiet hours enforced, friendly staff (exception: Sunday-AM girl was working harder than anyone I've ever seen to ignore a queue of guests, requiring us to verbally interrupt her to get her attention even for a moment - everyone else was superbly kind and helpful!). Cons: as in much of Germany, the wifi infrastructure for the bandwidth demands are outstripped by the needs of the customers - consequence: internet was spotty except for in the lobby, and sometimes it crashed altogether (it seemed frequently to emit dead signals to the room areas of the hostel/hotel). The cost (at €43/nt) was competitive with all comparables but is not an amazing deal for the overall picture. It depends: The beds are firm, which I prefer. If you like a soft bed, this is not a comfy situation for you. And no AC, but plenty of air flow, so it didn't matter for me in mid June.

I stayed here for three nights in an 8 person dorm. I had money stolen out of my locker because someone else in the same room had a key that opened both his lock and mine. This was very much the responsibility of the hostel and they claimed they would refund the money to me since they were at fault, they just had to hear back from insurance. I've sent them about 7 emails since leaving and I've received nothing. Also had friends staying in a four person room and when they asked for the key, they were never asked for name or identification. Don't stay here. There is absolutely no security.

For a long while, it was the place I brought student groups but I've moved on, mainly because it never did. A charming concept, a hotel called the factory, and build in an old structure in the interesting Kreuzberg section of Berlin, it was spartan to say the least. Bathroom down the hall. One smoky lounge. A less than effecient mode of serving breakfast to groups. I moved on with some regrets but life is that way.
