Amstel House Hostel

I recently stayed at this hostel and had a positive experience. The bathrooms were clean, not too crowded, and provided opportunities for both genders. The staff was friendly and efficiently addressed a noise issue with other guests after 10 pm. The sheets were clean and included, and the secure entrance and room lockers added an extra layer of safety. It's advisable to bring your own locker for added security. The room temperature was comfortable, and the location is convenient, just a 5-7 minute walk to the U-bahn. There are plenty of nearby restaurants and cafes, mostly offering Turkish and Arabian cuisine. Additionally, there's a shop close to the U-bahn. I plan to revisit this hostel and highly recommend it, especially considering the affordable prices for dorms.

FAST and FREE WIFI Food available at breakfast buffet was delicious and fresh. I especially liked the tofu and juice. Coffee at the bar was good considering the price. Vegan-friendly. Location is well-connected to public transport (tram, subway). Staff was friendly and helpful, e.g. no fine for losing key card, just got a new one right away.

Breakfast is rather expensive. Storing food in guest kitchen fridge should be avoided if possible, frequently disappears even if labeled, but that's hardly the owners'/staff's fault. Showers could be cleaned more thoroughly/regularly, but nothing too bad.

This hostel is totally recommendable. I've been to about 5 hostels in the Berlin area and I'll stay with this one for the rest of my life, and the truth is I'm leaving because they don't give anmeldung, which is what I need to start working since it's super impossible for me to find a house. They have a kitchen!! with microwave, 2 electric kettles, refrigerator, cutlery, cups, plates, everything working normally. Great dining room! You can eat your food there without a problem. Comfortable beds, no noise when moving, clean, clean and equipped bathrooms. Rooms with plugs in all beds with individual lights as well. Very good cleaning throughout the hostel. They don't charge you anything to leave your bags in the long room! You can stay without problems whether you arrive before your check in or after your check out! Super friendly reception

Just to make constructive criticism, in some bathrooms the pipe is a little clogged when you shower, and I have to say that only some showers, there are others that don't. I was in 3 showers and only 1 was clogged, the others weren't.

very nice place to stay, I chose the room shared with other girls, the positions and sockets for each bed were clear (it doesn't matter if you were above or below). electronic key that allows you to access the structure during the night and use the lift if you don't want to make plans. it is not in the center but it is very close to the U9 metro stop and bus stops (106 and others).

the bathroom outside the shared room was clean but it was unclear whether it was the bathroom, it seemed more like another room, and the structure has a somewhat labyrinthine pattern. I recommend being more explicit about which bathrooms can be used and are not of some room booked.

the aesthetics and the vibe

do you mean, the least that i like? the maze going to your room, but it’s okay, i had fun.

We liked the neighbourhood a lot and also the Hostel is in a really nice house and it looks really good from inside. The local bar is also great after a long day in the city and there is possibility to rent bikes, play pool, etc. There is also a storage area where we could leave our baby carriage, so overall a good place to stay, not far from the public transport.

1, Definitely a big minus are the towels. The property charges 2€ for a towel which is not acceptable, as everywhere the towels are free of charge. The 2€ is also non refundable. 2, The family room is overpriced. We pay 150€ for a night for the family room, which was not bad but it was equipped with basic amenities, beds and a table. No shower gel, no hair dryer, which would be a minimum for this price. So all above unfortunately make the total rating lower. As an advice, don't charge for the towels and put a cheap hairdryer and some shower gel in the family room, as people don't carry their towels, hair dryers and shower gels on longer trips.

- very easy to get to via public transport - every bed has its own light and outlet - tables and lockers in rooms (bring ur own padlock for lockers) - roomy rooms - nice hangout/workspace area on ground floor - toilets and showers clearly cleaned often - elevator! - super quiet

- ur usual ikea bunks - some more squeaky than others - it was quite cold in the rooms (assume this will be a plus in the summer but it was 2 degrees outside when i went. an extra pj shirt and some socks did the trick tho)

Clean, comfortable and functional. Located in a quiet semi residential area a few minutes walk from the buses and UBahn at Turmstrasse, which in turn a few mins from the central areas. My first time in a hostel so didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised . Positives.. Clean, friendly staff, kitchen, quiet location, bacic rooms with washbasins, lockers in rooms, not too far out to get to all sights.

Having to make and strip my own bed. Not an issue if you arrive early or leave late, but could be an issue outside these times.. Basic kitchen with few utensils or crockery...no cups... Would I return...Yes.. For the price it is very good value for money.

very large hostel, mostly clean (especially by hostel standards!), good bar and coffee, lots of shower/toilet facilities so you’re never really waiting, friendly and helpful staff, location is a little far out but there’s still a few cafes, bars, and resteraunts nearby also. would definitely stay again.

only minor issues-no full length mirrors in rooms/bathrooms, ‘beauty room’ wasn’t private (large windows onto the dining room so everyone is watching), hallways and bathrooms were quite cold. (but rooms very warm and cosy).

Big, large place to eat,study,.beds were good! Just bring a lock for the locker. The location was great in my opinion. Lots of places to shop for food around it. The signs on the rooms are very funny and I appreciate the murals. Staff was good,also great to be able to buy tea, coffee... highly appreciated! Love the place.

So much black mold in the showers! Haven't seen so much in ages... that's the only thing that decreased the rating
