Old Town Hostel

The hostel is very nice and clean. The localisation is great. The only issue are very thin walls, during nights it is extremely noisy. Hard to get some sleep.

Excellent hostel in a good neighboorhood with plenty of places to get breakfast, eat and drink. We had a small 3 bed appt but it was all we needed. It was quiet, clean and the facilities were just down the hall. Might come again when revisiting Berlin.

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.
