“Atmospheric student and artist friendly hostel in a pre-war brick-built factory. This characterful spot boasts a friendly cafe, courtyard, bright and quirky bedrooms, and dormitories for groups. A great value choice for groups of friends.”

Hotel review

If you are going to Berlin for the bars and clubs and are on a budget, it's great to stay in happening Kreuzberg. This pre-war brick-built factory, restored in 1995, has atmosphere in spades and a friendly café, basic bedrooms and spotless shared (gender separated) bathrooms, and dormitories for groups. A few rooms have their own facilities; one is done out like an artist's studio. Fine for a night or two, and you won't forget it.
