Highly recommend as an excellent value option. This is a large hostel with many students and adults staying. Very lively and fun environment. Lobby is great meeting place. The building is very well staffed and they are exceptionally helpful. We stayed during the June 2026 heat wave. No air conditioning was an issue, but staff made fans available. Helps if you appreciate people and don’t mind night activity.

We enjoyed our stay here and it was quite busy with travelers. It was quiet though we were not bothered by the crowds or noise. The laundry room was a bit hard to find there wasn't much signage telling you exactly where it was, it was a little challenging with an app you had to download but we figured it out.

Pizza machine on site is pretty convenient. Also, the soccer on the big screen 24/7 is a nice down time activity. If you don't mind walking, Berlin Central train station is 15 minutes away.

Great location

Great location for central Berlin. Friendly staff and rooms had everything you needed. Quite noisy at night and rooms not 100% clean
Verified review

6/10 Good

This was an ok place to stay not far from Berlin central station. However, quite costly on this particular night. Staff were not friendly, room was not clean and only one bathroom available with a toilet for 8 people. I’ve stayed in similar places in Germany which were much cleaner with better facilities.

Worth a try

We were very surprised to learn this was a hostel, rather than a hotel. That said, our stay was good. It was close to the train station, Breakfast was good, it was busy with students but overall, it turned out to be a good place to stay.

Great location. Bar and live music were fun. Be sure to put something in front of the door. Staff walked in while we were getting dressed without knocking.

Only complain is the noise between 1am to 3am, people laughing/talking out loud on the halls, but is manageable. Close to the Train station and bus was a plus. Area is really safe and can see people walking late during the night.

Good location, close to the Central Station, the price was very good for a Single room. But inside the floor was very Loud. There were kids, who was hitting the doors and screaming.

We did not realize this facility was a youth hostel since it was listed as “hotel”. However, we had a nice but utilitarian room. It was good for our needs. However, it is in a residential area so if you are looking for shops, restaurants or nightlife the train station is your only option.

For that price I would expect a bit more. Though personal was nice and room was clean. Very noisy, kids shouting in corridor whole night

Basic Hostel, good walking distance from Hauptbahnhof. Quiet neighborhood. Rooms are very basic and feel used. Very thin sheets and towels. Did not smell fresh.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

We stayed at this hostel in December and unfortunately we had an unpleasant experience: we were bitten by some insects during the night. The team reassured us that it wasn’t bed bugs, but it was still quite stressful. On the positive side, the staff reacted very quickly and professionally — they moved us to another room straight away and even provided special anti-bed-bug bedding (I didn’t even know such a thing existed!). In the new room everything was fine and we had no further bites. However, the situation scared us so much that when we returned home we had to steam-treat all our textiles, just in case. I really appreciate the hotel’s support and responsiveness, but it was definitely a worrying experience.

Overall A&O represents the modern hostel, cheap accommodation, but no spirit. They haven’t updated their self-check in to accommodate Expedia which would have helped them out as they were swamped at check- in, but the staff on hand seemed to manage. Their common area washroom was under repair and the shower head in my bathroom shower could only point to the wall and nowhere else. Everything else was good though, but don’t expect to meet a lot of people as they don’t push that aspect a lot.

Cheap and cheerful accommodation just outside the city centre but close enough to walk in within 15-20 minutes. I got a private room with a bathroom which wasn’t the best, but it was clean. The bed wasn’t very comfortable and the pillow had seen much better days. I ended up using my coat and stuffing it inside the pillow case just to plump it up. There is no kettle inside either. The walls in the room are in need of redecorating due to a lot of scratch marks from suitcases and general wear and tear, given how busy it is, but you get what you pay for… it is cheap for a reason. Great location if you are not overly fussed about where you are staying on a budget city break and just want to use it to get some sleep. If you’re looking for something more upmarket, I’d look elsewhere. There is a bar at the front which is decent, showing sports and has cheap food available such as hot dogs, pizza and fries. There is also a table football and pool table if that’s your thing. For the price I expected exactly what I got and wasn’t overly fussed apart from the comfort of the bed and the pillow being quite poor.
