About

Metropol Hostel Berlin

Metropol Hostel Berlin sits on Mehringdamm in the heart of Kreuzberg, a neighborhood known for its energy and easy access to the city. The hostel is a 16-minute stroll from the Landwehrkanal and puts the subway right at your doorstep, making it simple to reach Berlin’s main sights. With a 24-hour reception, luggage storage, and a cash machine on site, it’s built for travellers who want no-fuss convenience.

The rooms range from private singles and doubles to shared dorms, all with heating and most with balconies. The hostel keeps things practical: free Wi-Fi in public areas, a safety deposit box, and a coffee shop for a quick pick-me-up. A daily breakfast buffet with muesli, cheese, and cold cuts is included in the stay, and staff are known for being accommodating—even serving early when you’ve got a train to catch.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Subway at the doorstep — The U-Bahn station is essentially right in front of the building, making it a breeze to explore Berlin. Guests repeatedly mention the convenience of the location.
  • Helpful, friendly staff — Guests praise the team for being responsive and accommodating, like adjusting breakfast hours for early departures.
  • Solid included breakfast — The breakfast buffet offers muesli, salamis, cheese, tea, and more—a filling start to the day that several guests highlight.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Noise can be an issue — Some guests found the hostel noisy, which might be a drawback for light sleepers. Earplugs could help.
  • Value for money varies — While many find the price fair, a few guests thought it was expensive for the standard, especially in the dorms.
  • Basic amenities — Rooms are practical but minimal—no air conditioning in the data—and Wi-Fi is only free in public areas, not in rooms.

“Friendly staff and an okay location, but that’s about it. It felt overpriced for the standard, and it was noisy. Probably fine for young travellers.”

“I stayed here for an X Japan concert at Columbiahalle, which was a 10–15 minute walk away, and the metro is right in front. The location was great for that. Some sights like Potsdamer Platz and Brandenburg Gate are about 1.5–2 km away, so you could walk in good weather.”
