The Old Town Hostel is all in all a great place to stay. Friendly staff, rooms are great, my daughter loved the different color lights in our room facing the street. Very spacious. There are enough bathrooms for everyone, we never had to wait for one. Bathrooms are overall nice and clean, however one morning we came into a bathroom immediately after it had been cleaned, and the shower floor was full of hair (a major pet peeve of mine). All of the showers on our floor had clogged drains, so we kept showering to a minimum. When we checked in, we asked for ear plugs, which proved very useful when on our second day there, a group of young people checked in on the same floor as us. In general the hostel is very loud, the sound of doors closing and people talking travels far, so when a group of young people starts running around, shouting and screaming and slamming doors, not even the ear plugs could keep out the noise. However, this was expected in a hostel, so we managed and luckily from approx. 1:00-7:00 they were quiet enough for us to get some sleep. Location is great - Tram 12 is just across the street and will take you to Nordbahnhof where you can change to e.g. M10 which will take you to Hauptbahnhof. Or you can go to Friedrichstrasse in the city center. Just across the street from the hostel there's a café called Butter - they have a nice breakfast menu with pancakes and croissant. Also, very close further down the street there's a Vietnamese restaurant called Golden Tiger, which is very nice. Big plates full of delicious food - recommendable! So basically, apart from the noise and the clogged drains, this was a very good hostel. Price is very fair. Location is perfect. And I would definitely stay here if ever in Berlin again.

“Good location, clean and efficient”

Good communication from staff when it looked like I may be late arriving. Staff called and quickly and easily organised late night access. Easy location to get to and a nice area with lots of bars and restaurants. Room was nice and clean.

“It was Okay”

Pro: - the pantry/kitchen management.

Pro: - the pantry/kitchen management. People can put their food in the ref and label it if it's for personal consumption or for sharing which I think is quite nice as it also contributes to minimize food wasted. - internet works quite well Con: - bathroom is spacious but the water temperate is hard to control. It tends to be either too cold or too hot. - the room we were placed in was located at the end of the hallway and we had to open two hallway doors just to get in the main stairs and the bathroom area. - the electrical sockets available for each room is not enough. We stayed in a triple room and we only had 2 sockets. And the location of the sockets are not ideal as it's too far from the bed.
