Pension Central Hostel Berlin

The fact that I hardly saw anyone during my stay apart from the mornings when staff were busy doing chores. The use of the fridge and kitchen was great and I practically had the bathroom for my sole use, November not being a particularly busy time. The floor resounded with all the movement of people walking across and this did wake me once or twice but as there were so few guests this disturbance was kept to a minimum.

Since the accomodation itself is small, guests are able to communicate and help eachothers easily. It takes only a couple of minutes to the tram and S-Bahn stations.

If you are looking for somewhere in Berlin that is cheap, comfortable and clean then the Central Hostel Berlin is excellent. It is a hostel so facilities are basic - no en-suite or room service! However the rooms are modern, clean and comfortable as are the toilets and showers. There is a very nice communual area where you can prepare food (microwave, hob, kettle). Tea and coffee is supplied. There are supermarkets close by and an excellent backerie over the road. Although not in a tourist area of Berlin it is very close to the tram line to Alexanderplatz and the S-bahn circle lines so you can get to anywhere in the city with ease. The staff were very helpful. Don't expect hotel services. No staff on duty overnight.
