Berlin A&O Hostels
Great and Cheap Hostels in Berlin
A&O Hostels is the most central and inexpensive choice for backpackers in Berlin. That is why Berlin A&O Hostels are a favourite among groups, backpackers, solo travellers, families, school classes or associations.
Our house is in the heart of the alternative area Berlin Friedrichshain and it is surrounded by numerous pubs, bars, galleries and trendy shops. This area has plenty of culture on offer, such as the East Side Gallery (which is the longest last standing part of The Wall). Catch the bus, tram or S- Bahn from Ostkreuz and you will arrive comfortably and swiftly in central Berlin in just a few minutes.
very good dorm
very good dorm, plug on each bed to charge via USB, just no personal locker
Unreliable and Unprofessional
The hosted administration is very unreliable. They cancelled my booking and changed it to some other branch just one day before the arrival. Also the prebooking amount that I paid is not refundable on cancellation. Its very unprofessional and disgraceful for such a hotel chain. Never ever gonna book again
A good corner
Great hostesses are very friendly and very clean
Ideal to go to sleep
A simple hostel, with good heating and very well located, with supermarkets (Lidel, a bio ...), cafes, shops, the metro station where you can take any direction and about 20 from the airport.
Friendly hostel and close to the center but lacks soul
The hostel is close to the metro and allows to be in the center quickly. The only downside I will find is that being divided into several buildings, there is no soul that can be found in other hostels; we only communicate with the people in our room. If you do not pay for breakfast, you do not have access to the kitchen which is a problem because it means you have to eat outside each time or bring these short and others. Overall, it is better to pay a little more and have more benefits because in this hostel, the price is not high (which is good for students in particular) but each small service is extra (bed linen: 7 €, breakfast: 7 €, check-out beyond 10h: 10 € ...) Finally, I paid for a mixed room and my first night, I ended up in a room of 8 with 7 boys; I asked to change rooms because I was not very comfortable and I was told that the hostel was full or I had to pay extra to change the building ..
Fantastic
Great stay! I will probably come back again!
Big hostel in Berlin
This hostel is big in Berlin and does the job for Berlin. Safe.
Staff not very welcoming during check in at the hostel, shower without curtains (except on the top floor where they are doors), room for 8 people but we had only a small table and only 2 chairs.
Quite disappointed by the hostel
Hostel slightly retreated from a street, great place, top atmosphere, bar in the hostel. Only downside, only one power socket in the room.
Really cool
Close to Ostkreuz station, easy to get to shoenenfield airport.y

Hostel w dobrej lokalizacji. Wokół sporo knajpek, restauracji czy sklepów. Minusem na pewno będzie brak windy do dyspozycji gości - gdy się ma pokój na 4 piętrze, wnoszenie walizek nie jest zabawne;) W hostelu, albo my po prostu mieliśmy takiego pecha, pr
Hostel w dobrej cenie i w dobrej lokalizacji.
Bien mais assez cher. Petits déjeuner à 7€ qu'il faut commander avant, sans même savoir ce qu'il y a dedans ... Personnel ne se rendant pas toujours disponible mais dans l'ensemble il s'agit d'une auberge sympathique.
Pas mal mais cher
Plus destiné à une colonie de vacances plutôt qu'une vraie auberge de jeunesse ! Le confort n'est pas la, et l'odeur des chambres et des salles de bains laissent a désirer... Très déçu je ne conseillerai pas cette auberge a mes amis. On y retrouve pas la

Trés bon emplacement à coté du metro qui emmène directement dans le centre en 10min. Parfait pour des groupes d'amis. Des commerces sont à coté. Le personnel est serviable.

Really nice place! We reserved the hostel because it was so cheap so I didn't expect anything really great but when we came to hostel I was surprised. Hostel was big and there was everything what a traveller can need. Staff was really friendly. Location isn't so great, you have to walk a bit for the nearest metro stop. But I liked that it wasn't in the center, every traveller in Berlin should see also that side of the city, not only great tourist places.

My friend and I stayed in a twin bed private room with a private bathroom in May. It was a very bright and clean room with a really clean bathroom, towels, hairdryer, etc. The staff were very helpful and spoke excellent English. It is about a 5 minute
My friend and I stayed in a twin bed private room with a private bathroom in May. It was a very bright and clean room with a really clean bathroom, towels, hairdryer, etc. The staff were very helpful and spoke excellent English. It is about a 5 minute walk to Ostkreuz station so is in a great location to easily access the rest of the city. For the cost it is fantastic value for money.
The A&O Berlin Hauptbahnhof was opened in September 2010. The newly built house has very modernly furnished rooms and different dormitories. The spacious lobby and entrance area with bar, billiards and table soccer together create an inviting atmosphere with international charm. The A&O is in a central yet quiet location.
More a badly organized hotel than a hostel, big lack of organization
The staff is not very welcoming, very impersonal place, the atmosphere is not friendly, the average organization (problems with reservations). The kitchen is practical but the food is stolen from the fridges, and the other travelers do not do their dishes: there is no surveillance when it comes to the manners of the guests. It's closer to a hotel than a real hostel.
I had a good time in A&O!
I am happy about the fact that the hostel is close to central Station.
More and more disappointed every time I go back
The more I go, the more disappointed I am. I found the staff to be very unfriendly, the room smelled and was dirty.
Travelers, avoid!
By reserving a dormitory for 6 women on the aubergedejeunesse website, I did not expect to end up in a mixed dormitory with 7 noisy and stinky men. I paid 30 euros a night to be bothered by German teenagers on school trips (those who believe that Germans are respectful, go to an A&O hostel), and to be spied on leaving the shower by the men who shared my dormitory. Fights between several of them for a Muslim prayer performed in the middle of the dormitory, pestilential smell, dormitory toilets that have become unusable, windows that do not open to evacuate the smell (window overlooking a car park)... As As a young solo traveler, I can tell you that I didn't feel safe, so I ended up moving my stuff and going to sleep in a friend's room. And don't count on A&O to give you back the money you owed when you slept 10 nights in a room that was worth after checking 15€ less than the one you paid for! Tips: breakfast is chargeable, but no one checked at the entrance to the room;). And avoid the pizzas and other snacks offered at the bar of the hostel
Fantastic Hostel
The Hostel is quite good, very new, very clean and also with bathrooms in the room
Very attentive and friendly staff, clean establishment, too dense for us
Not far from the central station, this establishment looks like a dodo factory as the corridors are suffocating in this month of August and have so many doors. But the staff is very caring, responding efficiently to all requests with a smile. Perfect for a short stay.
Very well
Very good location, clean
We were very disappointed with the A&O Berlin hostel
Positive points: the hostel is very well located (10 minutes walk from the station), sheets provided Negative points: dirt in the rooms and bathrooms, very cold reception from the staff, confusion in the distribution of the rooms (2 different rooms were assigned to us for 2 nights, no one informed us)
Great hostel
The beds are super comfortable, it's very well organized and clean
Very well !!!
The location is interesting, the place is clean, practical and friendly :)
Lovely place!
Clean and comfortable.
Decent hostel but I'm a little disappointed
I came to this hostel with a lot of hope since I had already been there the previous year and had had a good stay but there I was really disappointed. It was really not clean in the room, the shower was clogged, and the toilet smelled of pee. In addition there was a drunk girl at 8am with her desperados beer then a Corona beer at 10am. I do not understand that the reception sold this to her at such an early hour, especially after she came to the room to shout and she woke everyone up. In addition, we stole 3 clothes from my neighbor, luckily that did not happen to me ... Otherwise the reception is not always nice especially in the evening, the guy seemed drunk that I came to ask him a question. Finally the breakfast at 8 euros is bcp too expensive, for the same price I recommend a cafe in Berlin where you will have a lot more to eat, better and healthier for the same price
Nice and friendly place
I spent a night in the room of 8 I would say perfect from the bed to the clean bathrooms
Excellent hotel
Very well located. The premises are well maintained.

Hostel in Berlin with good breakfast
Hostel with comfortable dorms and good breakfast for the price charged. God for Berlin
Well priced hostel in Berlin
This hostel in Berlin offers good value overall. Helpfull staff.
The A&O Berlin Mitte opened in 2004 and was last renovated in the spring of 2014, when a new wing was added. It is the largest of our houses in Berlin with rooms in various categories. The special highlight of the A&O Berlin Mitte is its unbeatable, central location right in the middle of Mitte! Due to its size the A&O Berlin Mitte is perfect not only for group trips but with its Family Lounges and play corner it's also great for holidays with the kids.
clean and well placed
the hostel is very clean and well placed in the city (near several clubs and a small lively area) the staff are welcoming and pleasant the premises are functional A very good value for money
Friendly hostel but unusable kitchen
This hostel was very big and nice. However, the kitchen was small, difficult to access (you always had to queue at reception to retrieve a card to open it, then queue again to return it), cleaning was very rare and there was no had nothing to clean ourselves (for example a large puddle of oil remained on the ground for three days without being cleaned), and there was nothing (except the plates) to cook, the rest being brought by other guests of the hostel.
well placed, the rooms are small but nice
Great location (close to a lot of things including a metro station), the rooms were a bit small and unfortunately there is no storage space ... the bathroom was very clean. the staff was quite friendly - Great location (close to a lot of things including a metro station), the rooms were a bit small and unfortunately there is no storage space ... the bathroom was very clean. the staff was quite nice
GOOD
Hostel well located especially if you are young and you plan to party, very close to the wall. The bathrooms left a little to be desired and the sheets and towels are not included must be paid separately.
Good price, good location
We were a group of 13 people, we spent great time at the hostel. The common areas are really cool, there is also playground for kids, and a large terrasse outside! The price was good, however you have to rent the bed sheets, and they were not mentioned on the website (third party website). Same things, I thought that the price per night was 11.45€, but when I booked the price was at 14.50€... Only one night was at this price.
Expensive, dirty hostel with rude staff
Arriving at the hostel we came across rude staff in cases that refused to speak English. They tried a kind of bribe, in exchange for sheets we should write a good review about them. If you want a good evaluation, treat your customers better, don't try to bribe, be receptive and clean the areas your guests use! We went to use the kitchen and it was horrible. There were no cabinets, dish rack, dishcloth, the trash overflowed; not a week away, the filthy floor, there were only two pans to use and the hostel has capacity for many guests. I will definitely not be returning to this hostel; I spent 12 days in Germany, the days I was in this hostel were the worst and most expensive!
very nice hostel, clean and well kept; a little out of the way

Habitaciones pequeñas y ruido de los vecinos
Normal
To avoid
I was in a room of 8, the beds are good and there are 2 USB sockets per bed, European sockets everywhere in the room. That's the only good thing I saw ... the bathroom was filthy, no cleaning apparently ... I still stayed 3 days without the trash being emptied or anything. .. The elevator is run down ... it's a shame since the hostel has potential ... the staff is nice!
That's what you pay for
Nice hostel and in a convenient location. The first flaw is that in the presentation was reported a shared kitchen that was actually not available for use because of work in progress but this was not reported. The staff was however very available to provide for heating our dinner. The second that the elevator does not reach the top floor. Also, there are no personal safes in which to leave valuables, but a safe was available at the reception.

Clean room, no problem of neighborhood. We had a pleasant stay and thank the various professionals who participated in our welcome.
Muy buena opción para casi cualquier tipo de viajeros
Está bastante cerca de una línea de metro (U8) y también de una estación de tren. A una paradad de metro hay un Lidl, andando es media hora aproximadamente. El albergue en si es acogedor y bastante cómodo, tiene zonas para el ocio muy espaciosas y con enchufes para cargar móviles, ordenadores u otros dispositivos. El personal es antento y simpático, y las habitaciones compartidas (al menos la de 6) son bastante espaciosas, aunque el baño con la ducha es pequeñito.
calme, propre, proche centre
Accueil sympathique. Chambre et sdb un peu petites proche de la gare et du métro et du centre de Berlin

Very well!
We were two groups of girls and our stay was very good! The reception of the staff was very good! The accommodation is simple but efficient, clean. The mattresses are comfortable. It is about a 20 min walk from Alexander Platz, and there is a station also just a 5 min walk away, so very well placed. Also, there are many techno club in the area (in the street and / or 10 min walk). Only downside, you have to pay to leave your luggage.
Perfect Young Hostel for all kind o (Family/ friends)
Awesome place with really good welcoming and services, I recommand it without hesitation

Die von booking.com beschriebene Route mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln sowie zu Fuß war sehr deutlich und ersichtlich. Es gab keine Probleme beim Finden der Adresse. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Allerdings war die Luft im Zimmer etwas frisch.
War ziemlich zufrieden mit der Herberge.
the location is amazing if you're interest in Berlin nightlife, it is also very near the underground. The rooms are very clean. It also has a lovely bar.

L'emplacement est parfait ! Le reste est correct sans plus, mais bon on cherchait vraiment à être au coeur du Mitte, et on a eu ce qu'on cherchait !
The neighbourhood is not very nice but it is close to the station. The room was ok, but the laundry was out of service.
Very helpful and pleasant staff, clean rooms and bedding, easily accessible safe for valuables, good sized storage lockers in the rooms.
