Grand Hostel Berlin Classic Reviews

Remember to bring your padlock. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. Located nearby the station. Clean bedsheets and nice bed.

Pros: The location is good enough, the nearest metro station is 1 min walk away. (I was initially worried about the neighborhood as a solo female traveler but Berlin felt basically safe. I saw many women walking alone at night.) The cleanness was also good enough. Cons: No curtains, No amenities such as towels, No elevator. Also, if you’re looking for a party hostel or a place where it’s easy to interact with others, I would recommend staying somewhere else. But overall it’s worth it for the price. I didn’t need anything more.

1. The transportation to and from Berlin Central Station was not good. Due to construction, the direct bus service was interrupted, making it very difficult to get around. 2. The surrounding environment wasn't great, but it didn't feel dangerous to walk around at night. There was a trash collection point right outside the window, which wasn't ideal, but since I didn't have to climb stairs, I decided not to complain. 3. The shower room was under renovation, so I had to go up and down from the ground floor to the second floor to shower. What was even more inconvenient was the shower system: instead of a faucet, you had to press a button that dispensed about 500-800 cc of water before stopping, requiring constant pressing. This was probably the worst thing about this hostel. Still, a hairdryer was provided. Towels, of course, had to be rented. 4. I liked that there were kitchen facilities. A refrigerator, induction cooker, kettle, and microwave were available, and there were no time restrictions, so I used them well. 5. The staff were relatively friendly and very helpful. They made an effort to clean, but guests didn't always keep things tidy. 6. Although it's a very old building, the shower rooms seemed to have been remodeled. However, that button-press water system needs reconsideration. I'm not sure if it actually saves water... Choosing a cheap accommodation meant there were many things to complain about, but overall, it was bearable. However, I wouldn't strongly recommend it to others. I didn't use the breakfast service, so I can't comment on it. The washing machines and dryers are provided by the 'we wash' company and are located in the kitchen. I've used that company's services elsewhere before, and I wouldn't want to use them for laundry again.

Just a clean, stress-free place for solo travelers, I guess? The bathroom cleanliness was a liiittle bit disappointing, but it's still cleaner than most hostels in Europe. I'd probably stay here again if I come back to Berlin.

Common spaces are great, bed is comfy and clean. No shampoo and shower gel in showers.

Staff was friendly. The single-bedrooms were quite large actually. Common bathrooms and showers were clean enough.

The team was friendly. Hotel very convenient.

The place was pretty good

Good location and friendly staff.

Location is convenient. Love that the beds aren’t bunk beds. Friendly staff with fluent English. If only it had a common area for cooking/storing food…The hostel sells pizza but last night at around 1am they burnt a pizza and set off the fire alarm so everyone had to evacuate from the hostel in the middle of their dreams…

Clean and within walking distance to the metro station Möckernbrücke, the hostel has a great location. We booked the double room with ensuite bathroom. Each floor can only be accessed with the room key card. There is a nice chilling/working place in the ground floor. Service is alright.

Good hostel.

Booked the hostel for my son who was solo travelling through Germany. He said bed was comfy, staff were nice and it was a great location. Only downside was street noise so earplugs would be a good idea. Great value for the price.

My room was on the 3rd floor. And since the room was on the last floor, unfortunately it was cold. Even though the radiator is always on. staff were wonderful and caring. The location is very close to transportation vehicles
