There is a subway station downstairs and the Papillon Cinema is next door. Alexanderplatz is close to the airport line, and it takes 40 minutes to get to the airport. The bed in the room is quite big The corridor is a bit dirty There is a single bathroom The bar can be a bit noisy at night Service: Not bad

There is no soap in the shower room, so we recommend that you bring your own! The room was a twin, but it was surprisingly large and comfortable. However, the bed is a little narrow, so it may be difficult for some people. It was a good impression for me personally.

Terrible hostel. Super dirty and no service at all. The room is dirty and dark. Worst hotel that I have lived in in my last 20 years

Edullinen majoitus hyvien kulkuyhteyksien varrella Vanha koulutuskeskus, huone pieni mutta ajoi asiansa.

F*lthiest place I have ever been. It is an old office building which is waiting for to be demolished in a few years. It seems that this firm ONLY rents this sort of buildings. In this particular building there is no proper sewerage so you cannot use showers. You can smell mold everywhere. Doors are broken so it is not safe either. One evening I was looking for tablets for dishwasher from one of the commonly used kitchens and was followed by a man who was clearly on d rgs. You can see from the mail that comes in that this place is commonly used (by the city or state) as permanent accommodation for side passers. You can’t avoid the smell of baked fish everywhere. The state of Finland owns 16% of this hostel chain. Avoid Forenom if you have any chance.

Huone oli siisti, vaikkakin karu. Yleiset tilat olivat sotkuiset. Viereisten huoneiden äänet kuuluvat helposti seinän läpi, joten herkälle nukkujalle en paikkaa suosittele ilman korvatulppia. Budjettimatkailijalle ihan ok.

Don't book this! Don't book this, don't trust the information! The information said the room I booked had a private bathroom, but no. The bathrooms were shared, and on separate floors for men and women. There is no free parking either, although that's what the info said. Parking was about 6 €/day, so the price is not bad, but it's important to know you need to pay! If you don't pay, you are likely to get fined (we saw cars with fine-bills on). The bedsheets seemed clean, the floor was dirty.. The window very dirty, with spiders webs and dust. The room was supposed to have a microwave, but it didn't. The reception was not open (nobody there, during hours stated in the info that the reception would be open). Luckily we met some nice people who were familiar with the place and they told us about the parking fee and also said that they hade never seen anyone at the reception. We felt very cheated and in fact did not stay the night. In stead we booked another hotel across the street.
