Horrible place
Worst place i have ever stayed. Not good sorroundings, there is drunk guys on the lounge, the room are smelly and hot with no ventilation. The hostal faces the train station so you wont get to sleep, because the train wont stop trough the night. The staff makes fun of you and has a bad attitude, i had to leave this place on mi first night and they wont give you a refound. When I told the reception lady that the train is way to noisy, she said: what do you expect if it is beside the train station?,i dont know maybe SOUNDPROOF WINDOWS!!!!. Its a really crappy place, dont waste your money, you get better hostels and hotel for that price

Dear Natalia Thank you very much for your review. We are very sorry that you got such bad impression about our hostel. Our hostel is conveniently located directly at the U and S-bahn station. Therefore, the noise is inavoidable. However, as a solution offered from our side you can always pick some earplugs at the reception for free. We are trying to influence the behavior of our guests as far as we can so that the surrounding guests are not disturbed, especially by check in. If that was not the case, we are very sorry. Unfortunately no refund is possible as far as the booking is fully paid, which is also noted in our terms and conditions. We apologize if the attitude of our staff did not meet your expectations. We will adress this issue directly to those who worked on that day in order to improve our service quality. We will for sure try to fix all the gaps in our service system and we hope to be able to welcome you in our hostel again some day. Best regards, 2A Hostel Team

Not bad
Comfy beds with individual lights and plugs. Bathrooms en suite is nice until everyone is waking up needing to tinkle and someone is singing in the shower. Very convenient to the S Bahn but also means you hear it. Grab a pair of the free earplugs. Bar small but prices are low, no food in the afternoon/evening. There is a kitchen but the stench that I smelled as soon as I soon as the elevator opened and dirty covered couches. Just eat out.

First time in Berlin
First time in Hostel, and it was a great experience. Rooms are like new, clean and with lockers; bathroom big enough with shower and hot water; great Staff ready to answer questions not always related to their work. I would strongly advice to stay at A2 Hostel.

Pleasant
The road right next to the hostel can become very noisy during the night. It was a pleasant place to stay after my flight but it was a 30 minute train ride into the heart of the city. It is right next to one of the train stations which makes is very accessible.

Great value
Location is great, literally right next to U-Bahn and S-Bahn. Shopping at and around Neukoelln Arcaden is within 10 minutes walking distance. Neighborhood is mainly immigrants, so it doesn't feel quite like Germany, but that's true with Berlin in general because of how international the city is. Hostel staffs are very helpful and understanding. I stayed in an 8-bed, and the layout made the room feel spacious. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and a locker assigned for each person (locked by the room keycard). The bar downstairs is great, with ample seating for guests inside and outside. Since it is summer, there is a fan running inside the bedroom to keep the temperature cooler. That said, with the S-Bahn running outside the window and running fan inside, if you are a light sleeper, you will need a pair of ear plugs which the hostel provide for free.

Awesome cheap and clean place.
Very recommendable stay in Berlin. Perfect connection to the public transport as it is behind the building. Brand new hostel with newest standards and technology. Awesome pricing for room, breakfast and bar. Only the prices are higher booking at the counter than in the internet, which is the annoying part everyone will need to find out.

Great Hostel
1-minute walk to U-Bahn and S-Bahn. All the staffs are very nice and speak fluent English. You get a free 12-hour wi-fi code when you check in regardless of the length of your stay. After that, you can request for a free 1-hour code. Internet speed is on the slow side. Room is clean. Each bed has its own reading light and wall outlet. Large locker in the room, locked using key card, so do not require own lock. There are no hallway bathroom or toilet, only private bathroom and toilet in room. So, 8-bed might have a little bit of a wait in the morning if everyone wakes up around the same time. Laundry available for 7.50 Euro, breakfast for 5 Euro. Kitchen is modest. Has a bar and a big dining area.

Nice hostel close to the S-bahn
A very clean hostel. I stayed in a dorm with 4 bunk beds with a private bathroom. There was even a new table and chairs in the room. Shampoo was provided. Parking was free and is in a very secure fenced in location about 50 meters from the building. The S-bahn is literally right behind the hostel, so transportation to the center is easy.

S-Bahn, price make up for bare bones, neighborhood
The hostel is literally ON the S-Bahn station, making it really easy to get anywhere in Berlin from there. The price is also excellent, it doesn't get much better in summer in Berlin. That said, the amenities are rather basic; no laundry, limited internet capability, little food on-site. The neighborhood itself is mainly blue-collar, immigrant housing. It's perfectly safe, just nothing special. On the whole, it's a good place to sleep if you're planning to spend most of the day in the city and not in and around the hostel. One last tip: if you have a bag lunch/dinner, take it to Tempelhof Park (on the old airport), and bring a kite while you're at it. It's lovely (and quite close to this hostel)! I ended up skipping some ''traditional'' sightseeing just to spend somemore time here...

Sehr geehrter Andy, es tut uns leid zu lesen, dass Ihr Aufenthalt bei uns Ihren Erwartungen nicht entsprochen hat und Sie nicht zufrieden waren. Wir legen großen Wert auf Sauberkeit und Hygiene im ganzen Haus und in den Zimmern. Es muss in diesem Fall leider etwas nicht nach unseren Standards gelaufen sein und wir werden dies mit unserem Reinigungsteam besprechen. Gerne hätten wir Sie in ein anderes Zimmer umquartiert wenn Sie uns vor Ort dazu angesprochen hätten. Es ist für uns momentan nicht nachvollziehbar, warum unser Mitarbeiter Ihnen gegenüber unfreundlich war. Unsere Gäste loben uns gerade wegen der Freundlichkeit unserer Mitarbeiter. Auch dazu werden wir mit unserem Mitarbeiter Rücksprache halten und entschuldigen uns für sein Verhalten Ihnen gegenüber. Die Fenster sind aus Sicherheitsgründen nur kippbar. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Das 2A Hostel Team

Fast perfekt
Das 2A Hostel ist von der Ausstattung absolut top. Die Zimmer sid sehr modern und sauber. Es gibt eine Steckdose und ein kleines NAchtlicht an jedem Bett und kostenlose abschließbare Schränke. Sogar die BEtten sind bequem und man bekommt von der Person über oder unter einem nicht viel mit. Das PErsonal ist auch sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist der Lärm um das Hostel. Der ist schon sehr intensiv und für sensible Menschen schwierig zu schlafen und Ruhge zu finden.

bra hostel
Alt i alt er eg nøgd med opphaldet. Hostellet har god beliggenhet i forhold til buss og bane. Rent og moderne og. Romslege senger med eige strømuttak er eit pluss i boka. Nabolaget er litt røft, men rikeleg med servicetilbud. det trekker ned at S-bana bråker om natta. Gratis øyreproppar hjelper litt.

Halpa hotelli hyvien kulkuyhteyksien varrella.
Hotelli on heti bussin, u- ja s-bahn reittien varrella. Paljon bilettäviä travellereita. Yhtenä yönä hotellissa oli 14-vuotiaiden koululaisten luokkaretken majoitus. Äänieristys oli meidän huoneessamme hyvä, joten melu ei kuulunut huoneeseemme, paitsi jos joku mölysi käytävällä. Hiljaisuudesta pidettiin hyvin kiinni, eikä ääniä kuulunut lainkaan klo 23 jälkeen.

Sehr saubere und in direkter Nähe zu U- und S-Bahn
Es steht schon in der Überschrift, der S-Bahn-Ring geht direkt hinter dem Haus vorbei. Die Zimmer nach hinten sehen direkt auf die Haltestelle Neukölln. Ohrstöpsel gibt es aber gratis an der Rezeption. Das Personal ist sehr nett und der Roomservice wischt tatsächlich durch, das habe ich auch schon anders erlebt. An jedem Bett ist eine Leuchte und eine Steckdose! Und die Betten stehen stabil, so dass icht der untere aufwacht, weil jemand im oberen Bett sich hinlegt. Die Schränke im Zimmer funktionieren mit der Zimmerkarte, so spart man sich das Vorhängeschloss.

Neben S-Bahn,billig und praktisch aber laut
Hier wohnen sehr freundliche Leute, und man kann 24/24 Uhr etwas zu trinken in dem Bar kaufen aber nur um mehr zu zahlen die Küche ist um 23 Uhr geschlossen. Die Zimmer sind neben die S-Bahn also die ganze Nacht hört man viele Lärms. Die WLAN hat seit vier Monaten nicht gut funktioniert, nur selten in dem Aufenthaltsraum. Aber es ist am billigsten ich habe gefunden und sehr praktisch um Berlin zu besichtigen :)
