Berlin Hostel

The 6-bed dormitory room has a private bathroom with a separate shower and toilet. Hot water is plentiful, and the heating is excellent. A hairdryer is provided. Free towels are not included. The Wi-Fi is good. There are bedside lamps and two power outlets. The lockers are large, but require very thick locks to close; my thin wire locks couldn't. The hostel offers a large communal kitchen with free use of various cooking utensils and tableware, including a refrigerator, induction cooker, electric kettle, and oven. Luggage storage is free before check-in and after check-out. The only drawback is that check-in time is 4 PM, but check-out is at 10 PM.

This was my first experience at a hostel. We booked a 4-bedroom room, and we were surprised that it had a private bathroom. Very clean, tidy, and comfortable rooms. Also a very nice building. Location is also very convenient, close to underground and bus stations in the centre of Berlin. The hostel also offers a very good breakfast for 7€, has a kitchen, 24-hour reception & bar, and a seating smoking area which was a wonderful surprise, especially in January. The hostel is overall quiet, with friendly people and staff. When we were having a minor emergency and were looking for an open pharmacy, the staff did everything they could to help us, which was really considering. The one thing that was a bit of annoying and affected our experience were the cleaning staff, who stormed into our rooms every morning to clean, however they were making a lot of noise, slamming doors, etc.

We slept in a sleeping pod; although cheap, we did not expect to be so tight: we were 16 people packed in a room usually hosting 4, with one (!) shared bathroom (1 sink, 1 shower). This has clearly negative impact on cleanliness and silence during the night. The bathroom was often dirty, the shower worked but the showerhead support on the wall was broken. A kitchen is available for use, however, it lacks essentials, and can become crowded (one space for the whole hostel). Breakfast is good for the price, 7€ not included in the price. Wifi works ok. A very annoying thing: there is no split garbage collection, just "uncategorized". But, the most negative thing of all: we were given the access code to another girl's pod, in which she was, at that exact moment, resting. This is very concerning, both for personal safety, and for concerns for the personal belongings stored therein. There is a 24h manned reception, which is very nice. Besides the reception, a smokers room renders the surrounding air always smelly. The location is pretty good: close proximity to grocery stores, U-Bahn and S-Bahn.

I stayed here for 3 nights and my experience was very splendid. In the common area there is a luggage drop off area and also a common kitchen. The receptionist was very helpful and they also have catalogues and itineraries for different sightseeing places all over Berlin. The locality was a quiet one but with very easy connectivity. The bar along with the happy hour was very wonderful experience to get to know people from all across the globe. Highly recommended.

Terrible Experience at Singer 109 — Unsafe and Unprofessional Staff I’ve been a loyal customer at Singer 109 for years. Every time I visit Berlin, I stay here because it used to be a clean, friendly, and reliable place. Unfortunately, my last experience was completely the opposite. At around 10:30 AM, I went to the reception to extend my stay and asked politely if I could change my room, because the guests in my dorm were singing and shouting all night. I couldn’t sleep at all. The receptionist said it wasn’t possible and that I needed to check out and check in again — even though the hostel was clearly empty. She kept telling me to “wait 30 minutes,” then “wait one hour,” and then “we don’t know yet.” There was no logic or professionalism at all. Then, a tall blond man with long hair and full tattoos came out from behind the reception desk. He looked completely unfit for work — clearly a junkie or someone under the influence of drugs. He started shouting at me aggressively, almost trying to attack me. He had no idea how to handle guests or behave professionally. I felt unsafe and had to leave immediately. This kind of behavior is unacceptable — especially from a place I used to consider like home in Berlin. Singer 109 seriously needs to review its staff and management.

Good location and confortable cabins. I slept very well. They are not very isolated from each other, but I had a good experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful as well.

Bad experience at the hotel. - Capsules: Poorly ventilated, the ventilation is very noisy, impossible to sleep in ; - Hygiene: Okay, but not very clean. - Management is inflexible regarding room reservations; it's impossible to get a refund if you need to reschedule or cancel ; -Location: 15-20 minutes from the nearest metro station ; I won't be returning.

I was really impressed with this hostel. For several reasons: firstly the facilities were really modern clean, which I cannot stress how refreshing this was, as so many hostels can tend to be neglected and run down. Secondly, everything was very well organised, right from check in to check out. Thirdly, because the hostel had a vast array of facilities and rooms, like bars, dining area, place to read and relax, laundry room, kitchen, not to mention that all the common-areas were very spacious also. Fourthly, because it was great value for money (especially compared to hotel costs in Berlin). And fifthly (and probably most important of all to me and why I'd choose this hostel again), all the reception staff I encountered were really friendly and , and given how lonely the experience in a hostel can sometimes feel, I cannot stress how much of a positive difference this made to my experience at this hostel :-)

Honestly for a hostel this place was really good. The rooms were pretty big and they had big lockers for you to keep your stuff in. The guy at the front desk when we checked in was super friendly and helped explain a lot to us about the city, public transportation and such. This place was more than I expected for what the price was. Happy with the decision to stay here.

Impressive hostel, very quiet, large rooms and a good breakfast spread. I stayed here for 4 nights in July with my partner. We got a double room with ensuite. the room was great! Huge and very clean. The bathroom/shower was really great, felt like a minimal hotel room. Our room was very warm however, an although there was large windows there was no airflow. A fan would have been ideal. The reception is great, really pretty decor, bar(with happy hour) and pool and games tables(2). The breakfast each morning was €5 each and was buffet style. Really good spread, cheese, meats, fruit, cereal, yogurt,eggs, coffee and herbal teas. This was extremely good value and sets you up for the day of playing tourist. 2 things I dislike about the hostel is its location. As a tourist I found its location pretty sketchy. The u ban is a 10 min walk away and from there until the hostel you have to walk on a very dark long road and then through a high rise housing estate. I would not have felt comfortable making this journey alone or in a small group late at night. After 10 at night you must use the side entrance which walks you through the hostels smoking area which as a non smoker is a really unpleasant welcome back when you've had a long day of huffing it across the city. There is also a guy who sits outside the hostel all night reminding people to keep the noise down, I *think* he's a security guard from the hostel, either that or a concerned local neighbour. Just be aware that he may jump out on you if your talking too loudly coming home. He gave me a bit of a fright! Lol

This is a perfect hostel if you want to get rest and have a cozy place to stay. Rooms are pretty big for hostel a and they all have giant lockers. Wifi is everywhere they have two routers on each floor which is good. I'm only knocking it one star because it's hard to meet people at the hostel check in area. It's more like a hotel lobby than a hostel lobby. If no one in your room is down to hang with you, you won't find anyone in the lobby area. They do provide towels and shampoo for free which is very rare for a hostel. Overall I had a good time staying here in Berlin.

If you are lookin for a cheap nice quiet and ultra clean room, you really should go there. staff is extremly nice and always available.

was here from monday - wednesday and it was quiet, clean, did not seem to be many people. the wifi cuts off every 15 minutes forcing you to login again, which is incredibly frustrating!
