Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Bus station is a one minute walk away! I feel like its much safer than most hostels since youre alone in a locked pod and your stuff isnt exposed + you have a personal locker. Its very comfortable, quiet (depending on whos near you ;)). Theres air flow inside the cabin that you can adjust which is amazing!

    It is a hostel in a great location for tourists on a low budget. It's close to the Central Station and has great connections to attractions through the metro, tram or bus. There are cafes, a big supermarket Kaufland, and a shopping center just around the corner. Apart from that, you get a standard for sleeping in the hostel. Overall it's a good option for just sleeping a night or two in Berlin but if you plan to stay for a week or longer I'd look for something more comfortable.
