Helter Skelter Hostel in Berlin

zuletzt aktualisiert am 05.01.2010

The Helter Skelter Hostel is the former Clubhouse Hostel and we go back to where it all started - a hostel for backpackers. We are going ‘back to the roots’.   We offer dorms and private rooms, simple, clean and cozy. There are clean but shared bathrooms with separated showers. Sheets are included. Self Catering Kitchen. No Lockout, no Curfew. 24 hours open. Pool Table. Friendly international staff.   We also offer luxury apartments for up to 10 persons. These flats of up to 150 m² have 2 or 3 rooms, a common room with TV, terrace, kitchen, lift and 2 bathrooms.   The Helter Skelter Hostel is most centrally located in the heart of Berlin. It is very close to the old town, the sights and the museums. We are also near to the Potsdamer Platz, the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag. Within 10 minutes walk you can reach the Check Point Charlie or the Jewish Museum. Almost all sights are within walking distance.   The Hostel is not only in the middle of Berlin's Nightlife area, but just a few meters away from the famous 'Tacheles' - probably the most famous origin of the New Berlin.   Hang out in the Reception, have dinner with new friends, party all night and chill during the day. Back to a real traveler’s community - back to roots.   The Hostel is located close to most of the main sights, including Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, The Wall, Museums Island, the Synagoge and many more - actually almost all of them are within walking distance. The nightlife starts around the corner as well - bars and clubs including the famous ""Tacheles"" and cafe Zapata along the Oranienburger Strasse towards the Hackescher Markt will make your trip to Berlin a special experience.
