  • "Fun place, cute design!"

  • If being hip and in the middle of action is your game, then the Bax Pax Hostel Berlin, a short walk away from Oranienstrasse and other surrounding bars, is your headquarters. You'll find good, clean rooms in a hostel located inside the courtyard of a 19th-century factory.

    Even though the setting of Bax Pax is simple (many rooms having just a single bed, a lamp, shelf, and a table), some rooms are themed with an artist's original concept. The Germany room is decked out with photographs from the fall of the Berlin Wall and a purple VW "Bug" bed. The British Room shows its patriotism with the colors of Union Jack. Don't want to give into conformity? The New World Room encourages guests to paint all over the walls and if the staff likes your work, they'll photograph it and keep it for posterity.

    The shared kitchen is a colorful, vibrant scene where guests hang out and eat in the dining area. If the weather is nice enough, guests can wine and dine on the outdoor terrace instead. The lounge scene is picture-perfect bohemian Berlin hostel, with brightly painted walls, worn-in sofas, an affordable bar, Internet station, maps, club info, and pool table.

  • Located a fair ways out of any sights in Berlin, this hostel is a nice place to stay. Avoid the 32 bed room at all costs unless you are partying all night or are the world's deepest sleeper. The hostel is a nice place to stay with a good kitchen and nice common room. In Berlin, you should take a free bike tour, information is provided at the hostel about this.
