The hostel is close to Kreuzberg, an interesting area with cheap and nice bars and restaurants, it's not expensive and I was in general happy with my stay. There are some details that could be better, like for example maintenance: the electronic lockers in the lobby, the elevator and the ATM were out of service. And the young and nice employees could have had better training - I got different information on certain questions about the hostel's services. But after all, the price was good :)
