This has always been our go-to hotel whenever visiting friends in Kreuzberg—a place we’ve trusted for years. The staff are warm and welcoming, the rooms are spotless and comfortable, and the location is unbeatable for exploring the vibrant neighborhood. We were genuinely surprised to learn it’s closed now—such a shame. I really hope a new owner takes it over and keeps up the tradition of offering clean, reliable, and affordable accommodation in one of Berlin’s most lively areas. It’s not just a hotel; it’s a home away from home.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Berlin. The location is unbeatable—right next to the East Side Gallery, where you can walk straight out and stand in front of the iconic mural-covered section of the Berlin Wall. It’s such a powerful and historic atmosphere. My room was clean, spacious, and well-designed with modern touches, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for recharging after long days exploring. I especially appreciated the quiet environment; no noise from the street despite being so close to one of the city’s most famous landmarks. For the price, the value is outstanding. If you’re visiting Berlin, this is a must-book option—authentic, convenient, and unforgettable.
This hostel is perfect for meeting new people—nightly events keep things lively, and the common areas are spacious and welcoming. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Kylah, who goes above and beyond to organize social activities. I’d highly recommend it for solo female travelers looking for a safe, friendly atmosphere. I’ve already booked my next stay here for when I return to Berlin. It’s not just affordable—it feels like home.
We booked a six-person dorm for three of us, and honestly, the space was incredible—way bigger than expected. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, super clean and well-maintained. Two single beds plus two bunk beds made it comfortable for all of us, with plenty of room to move around. I actually wished we had invited a few more friends—would’ve been even more fun! The view from the window is great too, especially in the evening when the city lights come on. The only downside? It’s a bit far from the city center, but the subway connection is quick and reliable. Overall, this place offers amazing value and a fantastic stay—definitely coming back!
I absolutely loved my stay at Pension Absolut Berlin! The shower was a bit small, but honestly, that didn’t take away from the overall experience. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the S-Bahn station, making it super easy to get around the city. I really appreciated the keyless entry system; it was so convenient and added a nice touch of modernity. And the bed? Incredibly cozy—literally the most comfortable sleep I’ve had in a while. Clean, welcoming, and well-located, this place is a hidden gem in Berlin. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting.
This is my second stay at Minimal Hostel, and I’m now fully convinced it will always be my go-to choice when visiting Berlin. The place is cozy, quiet, and perfectly minimalist—exactly what I look for in a hostel. The beds are comfortable (though the pillows could be softer), and each has a personal light and lockers nearby, which is super convenient. The common area features a large table where you can work or relax in a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Downstairs, there’s a spacious bathroom with huge, clean showers—always spotless. Everything about this hostel feels thoughtfully designed, from the layout to the attention to detail. It’s not just affordable—it’s an exceptional value. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, no-frills stay in Berlin. Can’t wait to come back!
This stay was an absolute disaster—definitely not recommended. The entire property was in a shocking condition from the moment we arrived. The room was freezing cold despite having a heater, and every single faucet—including the shower and sink—produced icy water throughout our entire stay. We had to check out early because it was simply unbearable. The humidity inside the room was extreme, causing condensation to drip from the walls by the end of our visit. The bathroom was in terrible shape: some showers were broken, sinks were filthy with traces of saliva and toothpaste left by previous guests, and one was completely clogged so water wouldn’t drain at all. Trash was scattered around the room, and overall cleanliness was unacceptable. To make matters worse, even after checking out early, we were promised a refund by the platform—but never received it. We’ve now had to involve legal counsel to address the issue. This experience was deeply disappointing, and I can’t recommend this place to anyone. Avoid at all costs.
We spent a work week here with 40 students aged 14 and 15, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful throughout our stay—always ready to assist with anything we needed. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent, tasty, and well-prepared. Communication with the hostel manager was smooth and efficient. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, making it easy for everyone to relax after a long day. You can really tell this is a family-run operation—the attention to detail and genuine care for guests is evident in every little thing. Plus, the location is perfect: just a short walk from the city center, with great access to public transport and all the main sights. This place is not just ideal for groups—it’s also a top choice for solo travelers who want a welcoming, authentic vibe. Highly recommended!
This stay exceeded my expectations for a city-center hotel. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and equipped with everything I needed—comfortable bed, reliable AC, and a modern bathroom. Breakfast was excellent: fresh, hot options with a good variety, definitely worth the morning wake-up. What really stood out was the location—right inside Berlin Ostbahnhof train station, just across from the Berlin Wall memorial. Getting around the city is effortless; you can hop on the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, or buses without leaving the building. Whether heading to the airport, central Berlin, or nearby attractions, it’s all within minutes. For a hotel in this category, the value is outstanding. I’d absolutely book here again on my next visit to Berlin.
From check-in to check-out, every aspect—location, cleanliness, condition, and service—was absolutely fantastic. The digital process made everything so seamless and stress-free. I’m already planning my next trip with a larger group, and I’ll definitely book this accommodation again. It’s perfectly located near public transit, making it easy to explore Berlin. The apartment was spotless, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. The host responded quickly and was very helpful throughout our stay.

The host greeted us warmly and made check-in quick and hassle-free. We were treated to a complimentary cappuccino at the attached café, which instantly put us at ease—felt like coming home right away. The room’s Italian-inspired design and ambiance were truly unique, with attention to detail that made every element feel refined and spotless. Located just steps from both U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations, it's incredibly convenient for exploring the Kiez area and beyond. Breakfast was excellent at the nearby bakery—fresh, delicious, and with a 20% discount, making it even better value. The price-to-quality ratio is outstanding.
