accommodation with modern comfort. Equally attractive for individual travelers, groups and families, the hostel is in the direct vicinity of the major historical, cultural and architectural highlights - not far from Berlin\'s \"New Middle\" and Potsdamer Platz. The hostel has a total of 74 single, twin and multi-bed rooms on seven floors. All rooms are equipped with shower/WC and TV. Single and twin rooms also have telephone. The roof terrace offers a splendid view over the rooftops of Berlin.
Advantages: cheap, friendly, great facilities Disadvantages: not the closest to the centre

The hostel is well located North of Landwehr canal and a 15 minute walk from the centre of Berlin which we managed easily.

"The Positives"
#1. The price: even if you book just before your trip, rooms are generally good value. Remember to compare booking sites. Hostels share the number of rooms available between sites, so if, for example, Hostel World says that there are no beds left, Hostelbookers might not have used up its quota of beds.

#3. Staff: Friendly, competent and multi-lingual
#4. Security: each guest has his or her own locker and each guest has his or her own swipe card to access the rooms: many hostels have one key per room, which raises many security concerns.

Cities in Flight is a ground breaking book in the Sci-Fi genre, and unlike anything I've read before.
That's a pretty big opening isn't it?
The version that I picked up was the Sci Fi Masterworks version, meaning that I was expecting a book that... more
