This is a textbook backpacker hostel: friendly, communicative, casual and with neatly designed themed rooms (Cinema, Desert, Giants), including a rather gimmicky double where you live out that Good Bye, Lenin! vibe by bedding down in a real GDR-era Trabi car. Bikes, tea and coffee are welcome freebies, and the communal room and kitchen are conducive to meeting fellow travellers.
