Plus Berlin

PLUS Berlin is Berlin's über-cool new hostel/hotel, with a free welcome shot for all Hostelworld guests.

You want prime location? Check. We're in Friedrichshain, possibly the most happening area of Berlin - a neighbourhood filled with arty cafés, bars and one-off shops selling vintage clothing, music and all sorts of paraphernalia.

You want comfort and facilities? Check. Choose from our two-, four- or six-bed dorms, all ensuite and all with free Wi-Fi. And for those wanting a little more luxury, why not upgrade to a private hotel room.

You want more? OK, well there's our stunning Opera Bar and Restaurant, our swimming pool and sauna, our beautiful Laundromat, and last but by no means least, our tranquil inner courtyard garden oasis.

You want history? Check. Our building used to be a school for fashion design, was declared a Berlin Monument and has survived two World Wars and 40 years of communism. Not only is our newly refurbished 100 year neo-gothic building a wonder to behold, we also have the longest surviving stretch of the former Berlin Wall just around the corner.

You want local amenities? Check. The River Spree, with its bizarre man-made sandy beaches (yes beaches!) and tiki bars, is less than five minutes' walk away, as is the new spaceship-like O2 World concert arena. Oh, and Berlin's largest and most famous nightclubs are just a short walk or a couple of subway stations away.

You want advice? Check. Our drop-dead gorgeous, international, multi-lingual staff are on hand 24 hours a day to help with info, maps, tips, trips and sips. Just ask - we're easy to get along with.

You want to find us easily? Check. We're at a huge transport hub, with S-Bahn, U-Bahn and tram stops less than five minutes from the front door.

So, when are you checking in?

Check in at 3:00pm if you arrive before you will be able to leave the luggage with us.
