Ballhaus Berlin Hostel

Wonderful

  : Hostel is really clean, all the rules are pretty straightforward, co-hosts were nice. It was really calm considering I was in a room with 10 other random people :) Location is close to city centre, with Berlin public transport you can get anywhere fast (subway station is right in front of the hotel). Befor checkin I was in touch with hostel via this app, they allways replyied fast, so the communication was pretty smooth. You 100% get what you're paying for, would book there again!
  : Hostel doesn't have a reception, you won't meet anyone from the staff. Check in is via machine by the door. This also means you can't store your luggage there before checkin or after checkout. There is supposed to be a posibily to leave the luggage at the train station, which is not very far though. In the end this wasn't such a big deal for me, I only traveled with 1 small bag and a purse, so I don't see it as a con, it's just a thing that's worth consider before booking...

Disappointing

  : Location decent enough, near a metro line. Beds were comfortable. Facilities were usually pretty clean for a hostel. Kitchen was goodKeyless entry system worked well and was useful
  : I would not recommend staying here if you have a dust or mould allergy. I am allergic to both and have very similar reactions to both, so it's hard to tell exactly what it was. But I was certainly reacting to something. Which will take me about 5 days to get over. I also got multiple large bug bites here. Potentially bed bugs? Disgusting if so.Also I don't understand why they wouldn't host any hostel events on week days? Maybe not that sort of place but I would have thought there would have been at least 1.They did end up hosting a business event in the bar below which was noisy beyond the hostels "quiet hours".

  : Hostel was in a great location (close to restaurants, supermarket, walking distance to tourist attractions) ,beds were comfy, facilities were clean and gave us the opportunity to meet some really cool people!
  : There were no blinds or curtains in our hostel room which was annoying when your bed is right next to a window come sunrise. There was also no hot water during our stay.

  : If you look for a good place to sleep, shower, and nothing more this hostel is good value for its money
  : There was no one at the reception during my whole stay. Felt unpersonal. There is no atmosphere in the common area.

  : It is what you would expect from a hostel - basic comfort. The room we had was clean, we could also use a shared kitchen and dining room which was also kept clean. The location is nice, very close to the metro, which is just a few stops away from many famous spots.
  : The bathroom was used by too many people, so even if they went by to clean it often, you could still find hair around the women's bathroom. But all in all, keeping in mind that it is a hostel, it wasn't bad.Don't forget you are not getting any towels included in the price. If you want a towel you have to get it for 4 euros.
