Jugendgaestehaus der Schreberjugend

You will like this house if you are a nature fan - it is not so easy to find a hotel in Berlin which has green area around. This place is behind the Jewish museum, about 500m from Checkpoint Charlie. My room overlooked the "Freie Waldorfschule Kreuzberg", and a grass area for sheep, horses and geese - really nice. Just the room was very basic - two solid beds, a solid wardrobe, a solid table with two solid chairs and a 30*20cm size mirror on the wall. WC and bathroom/shower on the floor. All very clean, furniture made of wood and in good shape, room walls fresh painted, heating working very well, large room size, but really basic. But very good price and good breakfast buffet. The house is more designed like a basic youth hostel for youth groups. But it has the unbeatable advantage of sitting in a green island away from noisy streets in the center of Berlin. No Wifi - only quite a stupid internet terminal available (BTW in winter 2009 even in the internet shops nearby no possibility to connect own laptop - the people seem to be a bit overanxious concerning hackers there). I was there allone in the two-bed room - as I see it it seems to be separated for men and women (on my floor only men's washroom). You get your own key for room + house, so you can come home as you want (10 EUR key deposit). If the house is full with youth groups, it might get a bit loud, but I was there quite alone. In the Jewish museum there is a very good restaurant (no need to buy museum ticket).

Unique Quality: Green island near the city. Very good prices. Clean. Near Jewish museum / checkpoint charlie.

Directions: U-Bahn Hallesches Tor or Moritzplatz or Kochstrasse

This is a calm place to sleep. I liked it a lot.. It is cheap and quite comfortable. the food is great too. It is not far from the city. 10 min by foot from the U-Bahn station. 2 min form the Jewish museum. A nice address to keep in mind!

Unique Quality: It is a Youngs hotel without any association card. The price is good and the service is good too. Breakfast very good and fresh, all you can eat. The rooms are clean, by 2 or 3. The washrooms and showers are at the floor. very clean too. You can leave your precious things at the desk during the day when you visit. very safe.

Directions: 10969 Berlin-Kreuzberg 10 min walk from Hallesches Tor U-Bahn (subway station).
