St Christopher's Inn Berlin Alexanderplatz Reviews

Cons: Upon check-in, I was given a key card that wouldn't open the door. I went back down to reception, and the staff member tried to open it too, but couldn't. It turned out the entrance was on the other side, where different room numbers were indicated. This oversight means I can't just walk into my room where the numbers are displayed; I always have to remember that my room is on the other side. Very inconvenient. There was only cold water in the shower. I spoke to the cleaning staff about this, but they didn't speak English. And yes, the hostel is designed with many rooms, all connected by a single corridor, which also includes toilets and showers. There are some shower stalls (with a sink and shower) where the door is so short that there's a gap at the bottom, near your feet, which is very uncomfortable. It was exactly in one of these showers that there was no hot water, which, to put it mildly, infuriated me. I also reported this issue to reception. There was no power outlet by my bed. I had to charge my phone at the outlet near the window (which is a common area, and my neighbor had spread out his belongings, so I had to reach over his stuff to get my phone at night). I've attached a photo. This is inconvenient and uncomfortable. I also reported this to reception (specifically, that my bed didn't have one). Pros: Free postcards for tourists (+ various discounts) There's always a lively bar downstairs with many people hanging out. Stylish corridor decor. Honestly, I am very disappointed with this hostel. I stayed at this hostel chain in Vienna, and it was amazing; everything was thought out to the smallest detail. Moreover, each room there had its own shower, toilet, and sink, which is a big plus. Here, everything is quite basic and poor; the building is very old and needs renovation and updating.

Place is very central, the budget apartment I booked was clean and brightly lit. Good value for money spent.

It's very close to Alexanderplatz subway station, so getting around is easy. You can quickly reach Museums Island, Brandenburg Gate, and other main tourist spots. Rooms are clean, staff are friendly.

Pretty decent hostel. Got lucky with good roommates. The staff doesn't escort you to your room during check-in though, and it's easy to get a bit lost as it feels like a labyrinth. But you get used to it.

The accommodation is fine for a one-night stay or for solo travelers. The bathroom is clean and well-maintained. The location is convenient for those who need to travel onward.

The and staff was great. The hostel just felt very public as anyone could come to the bar and it felt quite unsociable and not safe for a solo female traveler. I think in big groups it would be okay. There’s also no kitchen, which was disappointing but it says on the listing.

Wasn’t sparkling clean but acceptable. Location is a short walk from Alexanderplatz station which is good. The privacy curtains aren’t great

The carpet on the floors smells bad. When you enter the hostel above the bar, the hallway always smells like urine. Thats the first impression Generally the shared toilets are kept clean. But they went 1 full day with no liquid soap or paper towels. For breakfast they offer no eggs. The light in the room is very dim, but the rooms are spacious. Location is good For this price in other european cities you can get a good 4* hotel room. I would not recommend it. Expensive for the service you get back

Lovely hostel and enjoyed sharing the room with the guests. Each dorm had its own kitchen and bathroom and it was clean and I felt safe. The bar downstairs is far from the rooms so it’s pretty quiet upstairs. As a guest you get discounts for meals and drinks when you stay at the hostel. The hostel is very close to Rosa-Luxembourg Platz which (right outside the door) which will enable you to take the U Bahn to Alexander platz and other places. The M8 Tram will take you to the Berlin Wall memorial and Berlin HBF and other surrounding areas.

I lived in an all-girls dorm. The facilities and cleanness of the hostel were alright. Staffs were pretty friendly too😊 Yet I really couldn’t stand how there was only one bathroom on the floor I lived in (with two dorms on this floor), plus, the bathroom is the toilet and shower combined. This means anytime someone is taking a shower no one can use the toilet… quite inconvenient imo. side note: there seems to be no air conditioner in the rooms, it can be hot in summer.

Location and staff is very good. All attractions are on walkable distance.

Stayed at the same hostel in Vienna and it was nice and decent but this one had the worst washrooms with water clogging and worst room mate was very disrespectful to others. Changed to another hostel for the rest of my trip.

Very conveient location with U2 metro just outside the hostel. Bed is quite comfortable, but check-in seemed abit slow.

only good thing about this hostel was the social aspect
