a&o Berlin Mitte

The app & website to possibly check-in, avoiding a queue at reception, didn't work. At the room I had to be let in by another guest as my door card, didn't work. It later transpired that the card had been configured for the wrong room. I'd requested a lower bunk if possible and was allocated an upper bunk - I don't know whether that was unavoidable or if my request wasn't even considered. The room was on the 6th floor, the lift was broken. The dual USB charging points in my bunk, were broken. The wifi worked well.

Good for teenagers. The bathroom is small (also bad smell from the sink)

Overall, a very good hostel. Close to a couple of very famous clubs in Berlin and a metro station that will get you to the city in 15 to 20 minutes. Also a huge plus that the kitchen is open all night. The only thing the hostel lacked was a social atmosphere. All the groups kind of just stuck to their own. The hostel probably could use some activities to get people to mingle around a bit. Overall, very good, but not great stay.

Good location. Just across Tresor, Kitkat if you like to party in Berlin. But room was average. Booked the private room. Checked in and realised they didn’t clean the room for us. Toilet bowl got someone’s else ****. Bedsheets not changed. There was a lift but they didn’t allow us to use it. So we climbed 5 level up with our luggage!!! Water is damn cloudy have no idea why. Stayed in other hotels and Airbnb in Berlin but water was fine. Very noisy at night with kids running around. Well that’s what you get if you stay in hostels. These kids never sleeps. Shared kitchen is kinda gross. Microwave doesn’t work. And then again I wouldn’t use it cause seems like it has never been cleaned for years.

I don't enjoy this hotel very much, the environment is not very good

Not in the city centre. The bathroom drainage is stuck, the water go down so slow, soaking in the water while showering … Got Scooters outside the hostel.
