appreciate the laid back atmosphere of a student community.

as well as explorers of culture & night-life
and students of German language.

We only accept bookings of little groups of 2 up to 4 persons.

I think we represent a cozy, simple & easy-going, small hostel with personality,
more like a private home of a bigger family, for friendly & open-minded young backpackers, students and experienced globetrotter, explorer & adventurers as well.

Our hostel is especially loved and appreciated
by Australians, Nr. 1 in night stayed here, followed by, by Italians 85% from Bologna suprisingly, Canada, France, then Americans, over 50% from New York or California, and 12% from Hawaii, (sorry, I am a freak of statistics sometimes) , then follow British ( 55% from London ), Brazil, Finland, Spain, Argentinia, Taiwan, Estonia, Scandinavia, Mexico, Hong Kong, Fiji-Islands Samoa, Indonesia and the Sultanate of Oman.

Berlin is a city, where it makes not much sense to spend 1 or 2 days here.

It is a metropolis of the size of London and Paris or New York, but very much affordable, cheaper than any town of western Europe.

So plan to stay longer ! You will not regret it.

The new Hostel with just a few beds is in a typical Berliner building of 1895,

The house has the charm of a typical Berliner building from the Kaiser-Time ( 1895), with 'Stuck' everywhere, and high ceilings of 4 meters.

In the 2. world-war, there were fightings in this house, tracks of this could be seen in the back-yard of the house, on the wall, holes of bulits from the street-fightings in 1945..

The rooms have wooden floors and the 4 meter high walls are painted in in desert orange of Egypt's deserts,
combined with the nile-blue door and windows..

The bath-rooms remind on the
Arabian built Alhambra of Granada (Spain).
some oriental elements,
originating from the owners' favour for North-Africa & Asia,
especially of Egypt, India & Indonesia.

This hostel is designed for single travellers, who like meeting other people, while they are travelling, preferable those who do not regard themselves as a part of the main-stream tourists.

It is a small place, with an atmosphere of a big family's home or of a nice students-share-house, quite relaxed, where you can feel like at a home.

Most of our guests are at the moment from Canada, Sweden, Italy and France, Japan, Denmark Sweden, Japan, England, Austria, and California / USA,

At least we are completely free of noisy groups or school-kids,
so we attract especially individual travellers with character, students, many of German language, anthropology and arts.

Groups bigger than 4 we do not want to see here,
because they might destroy our cozy atmosphere.

We try to offer a friendly, romantic , human, cozy & a bit artistic hostel, with a lot of communication among the travellers .

Since the owners are fans of Arabia, esp. Egypt,
and Asia, esp. Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand ,Malaysia, Singapore, there is some flavour of it present.

Due to Johns special interests, fans of play-station 2 and x-box are especially welcome, as well as adventurers & explorers of Africa or Asia, Arabia or Iran, which are John's special hobbies

Some plants and paintings will provide a cozy atmosphere with a touch of an artists private home, which is open to individual backpackers, students, world-travellers, artists, and explorers of culture, history or night-life.

Happy to see you soon ! John, Asilia & David
