    I stayed in a pod and it was the right option for solo travelers on dormitory budget, with the advantage of having a bit more privacy and isolating yourself from other people's snoring. You get access to a locker and 5 shared toilets and showers. Breakfast could have been more generous. It was ok but could do much better in terms of the variety of things. Great location in Mitte. Right in front of Tram station and 3-5 minute walk from U-bahn and S-bahn station

    The hostel was super cheap and very clean throughout thanks to the cleaning lady who was lovely. The beds were SO comfy and we slept really well. Considering we had a room next to the street with big windows, we really couldn't hear much noise and I didn't disrupt our sleep at all. The location was amazing, stones throw away from Meringdamm station and right in the heart of kruezburg. The rooms were really big and spacious. Was perfect for a few nights away and felt very safe.
