Alcatraz Backpacker Hostel

Inner patio

No wi fi in the rooms

Fantastic area and very close to the U-Bahn to Alexander Platz from where you can access anything you might want. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Especially friendly with kids.

Internet was only available in the lobby which made it a bit tricky with over tired children as our room was in the 4th floor and no lift. But that's really just a minor niggle.

Kitchen was huge and had all facilities like oven and good pots. Had free shelfs in the kitchen and in the fridge. You can cook any time easily. I stayed in the 4 person mixed room, the room was very big, has table and chairs, it is easy to be organised. Shower always has hot water.

WiFi availed only on the base floor not in the rooms. In the shower there is no shelf to put soap and other stuffs. In the entrance there is a computer that needs to be updated, it is slow and don’t open some sites as it’s os is ubuntu. The hostel was a little like student dormitory.

The hostel was absolutely clean and had a great charme. We also liked the location, even though we had to walk to the train station.

The bed was a little bit uncomfortable because it was too soft. It's a little bit loud because of other guests.
