About
Amstel House Hostel
Amstel House Hostel sits in a quiet corner of Berlin's City Area, about a 5-minute walk from Unionpark. With 72 rooms spread across a 2-star setup, it keeps things practical: a 24-hour reception, luggage storage, and key card access. The hostel also runs a bar and lounge area, a shared kitchen, and a terrace, which makes it easy to meet other travellers.
Room options range from shared dorms — including female-only and mixed — to private singles, twins, triples, and family rooms. Many come with a shower and heating, and lockers are available for securing your things. The tone is straightforward and sociable, aimed at backpackers and solo travellers who want a clean bed, a decent breakfast, and an easy base for exploring the city.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Around-the-clock reception — Check-in is open from 15:00 to 23:59, but the 24-hour front desk means late arrivals and early departures are never a problem.
- Easy transport links — A 5-6 minute walk to the U-Bahn and a nearby bus stop serve Tegel Airport, making the hostel a practical choice for flyers and city explorers alike.
- Social but quiet — The in-house bar and lounge foster a friendly atmosphere, yet guests consistently note the rooms stay quiet despite the buzz downstairs.
- Clean and comfortable rooms — Private rooms come with showers and heating, while shared dorms offer lockers; cleanliness is a recurring mention across reviews.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place — the hostel enforces a strict no-pets policy.
- Limited in-room amenities — Several room types, including the basic dorms and shared-bathroom options, list no extra facilities beyond heating — expect to use shared spaces for most needs.
- No on-site parking — There's no parking listed, so if you're driving, you'll need to find a public option nearby.
- Mixed comfort scores — Comfort rates at 7.5, the lowest category, and some reviews note rooms can feel basic — expect a functional stay rather than luxury.

7.9Verified guest“As a solo traveller, the value for money and handy location won me over. The 24/7 reception meant I could check in late after my flight and head out early the next morning. The regular bus to Tegel made getting around simple, and the bar downstairs had a great beer selection. I was impressed by how clean and roomy everything was, and the staff spoke good English and were always helpful. A fair price, spotless facilities, and a convenient spot made my stay a pleasure.”

7.9Verified guest“Perfect if you're flying from Tegel — it's right near the U-Bahn, about a 5-6 minute walk to the station, and there's a bus stop for the airport just as close. The rooms were neat and the bathrooms clean, so I felt comfortable throughout. Staff were friendly and always ready to help. The bar was a highlight too — good draught beer and a welcoming team behind it.”
