where you can spend the money that you save by staying in a hostel.
DJH Berlin-Brandenberg
The region's Hostelling International affiliate has three hostels in Berlin and
another half-dozen in the suburbs. They're open to tourists of any age, although
guests under 26 get cheaper rates. If you don't have a membership card from your
national hostel association, you can buy a guest membership upon arrival.
CityStay
"More central than Citystay is only possible if you manage to sleep under a
table in the revolving television tower," claim the owners of this hostel in
Berlin-Mitte. Rooms in the stylishly renovated
loft-style building have one to eight beds each, and separate bedrooms for women
are available on request.
Odyssee
The Odyssee is in East Berlin, near the Frankfurter Tor. Rooms and dorms are
available (many with eye-popping decorating schemes), and you can divide your
time between doing laundry with the hostel's washers and dryers, hanging out in
the garden, or tippling in the Red Rooster Bar.
Lette'm Sleep
This
hostel is in the trendy eastern district of Prenzlauer Berg, one of the few
sections of Berlin that wasn't badly damaged in World War II.
Pegasus Hostel
The
former "Frederik's Hostel" occupies a building that was built as a boarding
school for Jewish girls. Rooms have 1 to 8 beds, and there are two apartments.
The Pegasus is in the lively eastern neighbhorhood of Friedrichshein.
Sunflower Hostel
This
hostel is one S-Bahn stop away from the Ostbahnhof railroad station and about 15
minutes from Berlin-Mitte by public transportation. Rooms and dorms are
available; sheets are free.
