CityStay hostel, excellently located, reasonably priced and very clean but some of the worst staff I have ever experienced in years of traveling. Majority of the staff seemed to be more or less strung out, very unfriendly and equally unhelpful, one mustachioed woman in particular point blank refused to assist me in moving rooms. Other than that, bloody great hostel!

I normally tend to stay away from hostels as they can often be dirty and noisy and unpleasant, but Citystay Mitte is great!! My room is quite large and my bed is comfortable, and ere are power points and clothes racks in the rooms. The bathrooms are clean and are right near the rooms, and there are plenty of them.... More

Staying in citystay was a very good experience. We had booked a dorm, which was very spacious and comfortable. It was quite a walk from the room to toilet and shower, but considering Citystay is a hostel, this does not pose a problem. Overall desk service was great, and the common space downstairs offers great opportunities to hang out. A... More

Was overall impressed with Citystay basically everything you look for with a hostel clean nice big rooms, cleaner constantly cleaning the bathrooms and a nice bar down stairs. City stay is in an ideal location very very handy ( 5 minute walk to the train station and main eating areas) We stayed in a 10 bed dorm and it was... More

Dont book a private room. The dorms are way bigger. Our first impression definately wasnt too good. It took us all ages to check in- there were 2 other staff members sitting at the reception desk not doing anything. The cost was more than we were told (a % had been added). Our room was right next to the door... More

I stayed here for three nights in a private twin room with a shared bathroom. I found this place to be excellent value for what it had to offer. The hostel had a great atmosphere, bbq dinners, a bar and a great courtyard that most of the rooms overlooked. The rooms were very clean and also a good size with... More

We stayed here in September 2011 and this was our first time in Germany. We were looking for a cheap hostel which was central and clean and this was definitely that. Our room was really big and bright with 3 huge windows. The beds were pretty comfy and there was a locker in the room which was handy. I'm quite... More

Nice atmosphere, nice courtyard and areas to chill out on sofas, wifi was sometimes temperamental but good value for money and EXCELLENT LOCATION. Cons; cafe had terrible food (DO NOT have the blue cheese pizza) and the luggage room could do with being a lot bigger, but that goes for a lot of hostels.

Staying at the CityStay Mitte, it was my first time in Germany, and I was very tired from my trip. I had difficulty getting directions from the DB train station so I emailed the hostel for help. Within 24 hours I was sent clear directions on how to navigate across the city and to the s-bahn station to the hostel.... More
