A&O Berlin Mitte

Huge hostel - close to the Ostbahnhof (east railway station), also very close to metro station (U8), pretty clean. But if you look a cozy place - this isnt the best choice, coz the common room is just a huge room with bar and reception where there can be hundrets of people at one time. It's good to have just a place to sleep, though. The stupid thing is that you need to bring your own bed linnen or to pay for it extra 3,5 euro, which isnt included in the price and there is no info about it. It's pretty unusual about that in other hostels, right?

Our room was very spacious, the staff was really friendly and helpful,(even when we had problems with the engine of our car!). The kid's corner in the canteen is a very good idea.

It's a good value for money place worth to be recommended

Reasonable hostel. The rooms are quite big and has an en-suite. They are very clean upon arrival. It's not in the best location, away from the city center and about 10-15 minutes walk to the nearest metro. It is massive and therefore very good for large school groups, so it has more of a college atmosphere. Otherwise it's a good hostel.

nice place, specially for couples. The woman that clean the room is a little bit bounder, but it's ok.

the hostel is nice and clean but we had a lot of problem to have the accomodation they gave us 2 already full room and then finally the right one .. we waited a long time..

very clean, nice, newly furnished TINY rooms.

staff seemed kind of irritated when asked to help with problems such as wifi and some staffe could'nt be considered friendly.

location pretty much alright, 5min walk to subway and eating locations.

cheap and recommendable despite little inconveniences.

good place to stay in berlin. near the metro station and berlin wall. i recommend it

Sprays of frozen air by the window of the room (there were -14°C). So we slept in cold during the night.

Thanks for your help and service in my stay. The staff is so nice and kind and the rooms were Ok. I would like to have in the Tv Spanish and English channels because all of them are in German. Congratulations¡¡

Friendly staff and an ok room. I have booked A&O again for my visit to München.

Convenient location for travellers near Ost bahnhof. Well maintained Hostel rooms seemed newly painted & furnished. Very poor breakfast not worth 6 Euros. Can hardly sleep on the very bad pillows provided. Unsatisfactory single lift insufficient for more than a 100 rooms available. But ultimately worth Value for money.

Helpful staff, clean enough room. I had a single with a bathroom. It was fine. Location isn't the best for doing things in Berlin Mitte but the hostel is on an easy bus line, almost to the door. I'm a middle-aged woman and I felt fine getting off the bus in the dark in early-mid evening. I don't know what it;s like at midnight, though.I walked to Potsdamer platz once--about 2 or so easy miles.

The building itself is a concrete hulk with that eastern bloc ambience, which means it has less than zero charm. Also, although smoking is not allowed inside, the hallways smell a lot like cigarette smoke.

The neighborhood is technically a bad one, but it's interesting. If you walk down the smaller street on the side of the hostel you'll find a little convenience-like store on the left and kitty-corner from that a small place that sells little sandwiches, coffee,fruit, and has a few places to sit Farther down that sreet, about a half mile, is a larger street with all sorts of cheap restaurants, mostly Chinese and Turkish.

Very nice, helpful and friendly staff, apart of the fact of having a great location.

The service which was provided at the information desk was very pleasing and helpful. The staffs were very cooperative.

Our booking got lost and the staff was not very helpfull in helping us book a new room.

The hotel staff put me with the Hostel part on my second day and that was a BIG mistake. I am not a teacher nor am I a student. The night person did not do anything to correct this error and this is why I have given such a low rating. I felt strongly because I am not German I was treated like a second class person:

Good service.

Staff is amazing, Location is not bad and very interesting if you want to take a look at some Squats of Berlin and at the East Side Gallery. You might want to take a look, some very good, nice looking and cheap restos really near.

Two restos are schools to learn serving and cooking to youth. The Casino in Bethanien (Mariannenplatz 2) and IB (Heinrich-Heine Platz 8)

It's good situated, clean, warm, and cheap - it's all you need for one night stay. I can recommend it for everyone who passes through Berlin as I did.

Coveniently located in Berlin and moderately priced. I have already recommended this Hostel to friends in UK

Great! Very new, very clean! Great people! Wonderfull!

Just too many "extras" breakfast not included 5 euros per day extra...sheets not included 4 euros extra...

Nice place to stay. The staff is very kindly and helpful. It is easy to get there - by bus or by train. The beds are maybe a bit hard - but is not a problem if you only stay there for a night or two. The breakfast was fairly good.
