NeoHostel

Generally an okay experience. Was initially rather apprehensive about staying here given the bad reviews but the overall experience was not bad and a value for money. The room I stayed in was clean, however some toilets had a strong pee smell to it but this was still okay since I could walk slightly further to use cleaner toilets. I could also see cleaners very regularly every morning working to clean the place, so overall cleanliness is acceptable but very much dependent on your hostel mates. Location was pretty far away from the city centre, however, it was still v accessible to public transportation so that was good. I previously read some reviews about the noise at night at the hostel coming from outside. I found this to be true on some of the nights there as the hostel is right next to a campground where people parked their cars at. They would occasionally blast loud music at night but this didn't bother me too much as I'm a heavy sleeper. The most unnerving thing about the hostel was that overall it would feel unsafe for solo female travellers. I stayed in a private room so I had a rather enjoyable experience. However, I found there to be large groups of older men hanging around the corridors and smoking near the gates late at night. They would also occasionally walk out of the toilets and into the shared corridors in just their underwear so it was quite uncomfortable especially when I had to walk past them. Receptionists were all generally very helpful who even unlocked the laundry room slightly earlier for us to use in the morning. However, we had a bad experience with one receptionist who was rather curt,dismissive and unhelpful. Overall an acceptable stay for the price we paid. However, I would not recommend for long stays ( more than a week) and if u are a solo female traveller.

Hostel is located in Köpenick. 50minutes from berlin city. If you’re planning to stay more than 5 days in berlin, please do consider to stay this area for 1 or 2 days. It does not have to be this hostel. Very quiet place and not many of tourists around.

All was good thanks a lot

It’s very far from center

Great!
