BackpackerBerlin

Berlin's big, and this isn't near tourist attractions
I suppose I had a bad start to Berlin, so that may not have helped, however the hostel is hard to find with the provided details. Thanks to minute writing on state travel maps, I worked it out. It's a bit of a hike into the sites such as Brandenburg Gate, but on the upside, there are hundreds of restaurants around the hostel, which are bound to be cheaper than at tourist sites.
