This hostel is located next to Warschauer Strasse, close to the S-bahn station and the East Side Gallery, one of the remaining standing sections of the Berlin Wall. All of the rooms come with Wi-Fi and a private bathroom, something quite unusual to find at a hostel.

Plus Berlin offers so many comforts and conveniences that it could practically be considered a hotel: an enormous restaurant, sauna, garden and a 20 meter indoor pool that is the star facility of the establishment – are we talking about a hostel with a pool or a pool with a hostel? And if you decide to fly to the German capital to enjoy this hostel, don’t forget that on Wednesday mornings, free yoga classes are offered to start the day off right.
