Pegasus Hostel

Good hostel!
I stayed here with my friends at the fifa world cup 2006. It is free from unpleasant surprises and it is walking distance to two big subway stations, friendly staff. They also have a yard with barbecue. I do recommend it!

I stayed here about 5 years ago and thought it was a great hostel. I booked over the phone which was easy and the staff spoke excellent English. The room was clean and the communual showers were too and had plenty of hot water. The staff were friendly and helpful. It wasn't a party hostel, which suited me as it was quiet. I recommend it.

I arrived in Berlin by train at Ostbahnhof with no reservations for anything. So I was happy to be able to check-in at the Pegasus just half an hour later. (It's very close to Ostbahnhof.) It's an ok hostel, clean and organized. Still, I decided to move to another as soon as possible, mainly because of the large scale of Pegasus, and the huge number of youngsters/adolescents in the hostel. (I'm 29 years old.) Apart from all that, Pegasus is just quite fine. The staff are very nice and friendly, and at the 24-hour reception you can buy beer 24 hours a day. Just make sure you don't make too much noise in the courtyard at night.

I was there last summer, and it's really a good place to stay. It has friendly staff, tidy rooms, a nice restaurant and open-air garden/terrace. It's close to the public transportation system. The downside is it's not really close to the traditional party places, but if you want to avoid crowded tourist areas and meet real Berliners, it's the place to be! Recommended.

Wow...this brings back the memories. I stayed here almost six years ago in 1999. From the pictures it has changed, but not too much. Do they still have a narrow, dank bar that you have to squeeze into? As I recall, most patrons were prototypical, nouveau hippies. They smoked a lot of herb, and said "dude" a lot, but they were nice. If memory serves me though, the location bites. Things might have changed since '99, but I remember wandering one night for hours just to find a bite to eat.

This was my favourite hostel on my trip around Europe. It was pretty cheap, the beds were really comfortable and the showers were great. I stayed in a ten-bedroom dorm, and there was a CD player/radio in the room! We even received a free drink from the bar when we arrived. The hostel is located in the former East Berlin, and is very close to Ostbahnhof (which, incidentally, has very cheap restaurants and supermarkets!).

A very nice hostel. The rooms are clean and the beds are very comfy. The restaurant serves great food. The kitchen is okay. It's a bit on the small side, and some people leave a lot of dirty dishes around. It's got a very international feel. As an American, I was glad to be in a place with many people from other countries.

This hostel is one of the best in Berlin and I should know. I have been to this hostel very often. The hostel is clean and the atmosphere is more like a hotel than a hostel. It is quiet (no noisy backpackers drinking booze and playing loud music) and has a very good restaurant (only the breakfast is now a bit expensive, but very good). The location is good. It is within walking distance to Ostbahnhof station (all the S-bahns stop there too) and crawling distance to U5 (U-bahn to Alexanderplatz). Maybe the only problem with this hostel is that all the nightlife is not very nearby (Simon Dach strasse is 15 minutes walk, but for Oranienburgerstrasse you have to take the S-bahn or U-bahn). Apart from that, it is a perfect place to stay.

I stayed here two years ago, and I enjoyed it. We left some books behind, and the staff worked with us to get the books sent back to us in Texas. They were very friendly and helpful.

Very good hostel. Best I have stayed in!
