Berlin – Student accommodation, hostels and coworking spaces in Berlin (Germany). Maps of Berlin, photos and reviews for each place in Berlin.

Welcome to Berlin

Out of a turbulent history has come a city buzzing with counter-cultural energy – run-down warehouses have become spaces for experimental art, or throb with cutting-edge techno. Sections of the Berlin Wall, that potent symbol of the city’s struggles, are now covered in colourful graffiti and eye-popping murals. Backpackers and students alike will find many cheap places to stay in Berlin. This is no place to hide away in a fancy hotel. Join groups of like-minded backpackers and students in one of the city’s huge variety of youth hostels, from the Mitte city centre area to the downtown area south of the River Spree. Step out of your dorm and discover world-class museums and galleries, über-cool design shops and underground clubs. 

East Side Gallery

Walk along the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall, now effectively an art gallery. More than 100 artists have left their stamp on this crumbling piece of history.
