by Tonato, Argentina, Male25-30
The Hostel is located in the 1st level, the Bella Etage� of a historic corner house.
In the Kaiser's time the houses was residence of Prussian army officers, with a view to the Great Parade Avenue, called Alt-Moabit which is our street. From here you can see all demonstrations, parades and the marathons.
Berlin-Mitte district, is one of the 12 independent district within Berlin state, it's the most central district, once divided by the famous Berlin wall.
Tiergarten (deer-garden) is in the western part of it, with our quarter Moabit, founded by French protestant refugees in 1688, named after Mont Moab, a desert location in the holy bible, transformed into a paradise.
This days it's a very lively multi-cultural quarter, with a lot of students, artists, workers & middle-class as well as diplomats and German goverment officals, mixed with a lot of people with foreign background, from most from Turkey, Greece, Vietnam, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Russian, Poland, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Australia & Argentina.
Many of our former guests found apartments in the neighbourhood and still stay in contact with me after years.
So welcome to Berlin and have a nice time and stay with us.
Hope to see you soon
Daniel, Steven & Fabian

I recommend this hostel. The home was well organized and very friendly staff. We meet people of all nationalities. The House was more that correct (I had taken a room with double bed), all in a charming neighbourhood located five minutes from a Metro. And I find very cheap hostel.
