Guests at Singer 109 Apartment Hostel can relax in the lounge with its original brickwork walls and high glass ceiling. Guests can also play billiards and table football.

Although I spent most of my time outside in Berlin. My stay in the hostel was really pleasant. I can only recommend the 3 person dormitorys for longer stays. It's really worth it. The location is great and the rooms were cleaned almost, if not every day. The noise was also really good. (Not loud at all). I didn't have breaksfast but looked good and plentiful for 6 euros.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Bus station is a one minute walk away! I feel like its much safer than most hostels since youre alone in a locked pod and your stuff isnt exposed + you have a personal locker. Its very comfortable, quiet (depending on whos near you ;)). Theres air flow inside the cabin that you can adjust which is amazing! Great location, great stuff I would definitely choose this place again

    It is a hostel in a great location for tourists on a low budget. It's close to the Central Station and has great connections to attractions through the metro, tram or bus. There are cafes, a big supermarket Kaufland, and a shopping center just around the corner. Apart from that, you get a standard for sleeping in the hostel. Overall it's a good option for just sleeping a night or two in Berlin but if you plan to stay for a week or longer I'd look for something more comfortable.
