Metropol Hostel Berlin

A free breakfast included 7am to 10am included 3 choices of sandwich meats , cheese slices, coffee teas milk, cereal.kilk juice yogurt, fruit cocktail, breads, bun,Butter/Jams. The reception staff were patient and helpfull in giving directions map for subway/ train as I don't speak German. It was quiet albeit it was Christmas eve.

Subway right in front very busy neighborhood

Extremely hot in the summer. There were three windows in our room and we could only open one halfway. Mainly young people—very loud and inconsiderate of other people sleeping. The beds themselves were decently comfortable for a twin bed we packed two people in. Surprise €10 charge for sheets. Male staff were kind of sexist in a weird way—they completely ignored me until my bf said something to them. Female staff were extremely helpful and very kind. All staff spoke some amount of English and German. Lockers in room, but you have to buy a lock at the front desk—€5. Towels not provided. We had a private bathroom that we shared with 6 other people. It had black mold growing in the grout. The ground in the public bathrooms were constantly soaked with at least an inch of water 24/7.

Central location , underground located near, easy subway travel, clean polite.

A good budget stay in Berlin with convenience store and a hotdog store nearby. Could be busy on weekends. Location is brilliant as it is literally next to the U Bahn entrance for Line 6 and 7, easy to go to anywhere. Takeaway/ doner shop downstairs and 24 hour front desk is good. It was a bit loud as the room was next to the main street but generally felt safe and happy with the room.
