"great little hostel"
Just returned from this hostel after a 4 night stay. Good clean rooms, nice shower room, no problems. We had never stayed in a hostel before and was very surprised by how clean everything was. The only bit of nit picking i can make is the noise of some of the younger guests. They just dont know how to close doors. Supply yourselves with a pair of earplugs and youve cracked it would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the old west of berlin.

We (daughter, 13; son,15; myself, !!) had just gotten off the train from Amsterdam after my wife flew back to the USA. I had thought I reserved a youth hostel via IBN, but they had never heard of me. However, some fellow travellers told us about the A&O hostel, located just across the road from Zoo Station, where we departed the train. It was fantastic, and we lucked out again with family quarters for two nights. Even better was the New Berlin tour service; they were absolutely fantastic, the highlight of being in Berlin. That, and the chocolate shop. But you need to ask them while on the walking tour of downtown Berlin. I can't say enough good things about New Berlin or the A&O.
