Berlin Day 2 - Yet more beer gardens;)
9 am - Citystay Mitte
Our contact at Citystay Mitte Hostel Franck arrived a bit late and made us the best Coffee in Berlin, drunk in the beer garden. After a history lesson in the politics of Berlin hostels he showed us the rooms and they really look like a 5 star hotel. Situated in the centre of Berlin, this place has a very nice cozy lounge and a bar next to the reception. We went soon then to Heart of Gold Hostel.
11 am - Heart of Gold Hostel Berlin
The Hear of Gold hostel got it’s name from the famous Sci-fi comedy series spaceship in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and they have some freaky stuff in there too 
Thomas was very nice and he is the web designer of Gomio. He showed us some rooms, the same here, every room was different designed and then we went to Helter Skelter.
12:30 pm - Helter Skelter Hostel
The Helter Skelter Hostel has some nice apartments which they rent out to groups, with a roof garden, nice designed furniture etc. One of the oldest clubs in Berlin is right next to it too and they offer a special price fo all hostel guests. After that, we had to rush to get to Amstel Hostel.
1:30 pm - Amstel House Hostel
At Amstel House Hostel, Alexander Licht invited us to lunch to sample some excellent Indian food. He told us that he rents the kitchen out to an Indian caterer who works mostly with parties, but also serves hostel guests if they’re a group. After seeing some rooms (a bit like hospital rooms, lots of light in the room and very clean ) we went to the Circus.
4 pm - The Circus @ Rosa Hostel
The Circus @ Rosa Hostel opened its doors in 1997. Andreas, the owner, was not there so we met Lorenz; the Manager. He offered us a drink at their lovely bar. He told us their story, how they had first just the hostel and now the big nice bar. He showed us some rooms and they are really designed like a Circus. He also told us that the most guests come directly from the street, have first a nice cold beer and then check-in at the Hostel. After a chat we had to rush to the next one.
5:30 pm - EastSeven Berlin Hostel
EastSeven Berlin Hostel is a very nice cozy and small Hostel. You really feel like you are at home and every one was talking to each other, even they never meet before. They have nice rooms, 2 beer gardens and a BBQ era. They have a shared Kitchen where every one offers you to share their meal. Pierre gave us a Beer and gives us some tips how we get to Hostel 4 Youth.
7:30 pm - Hotel4Youth
On our way to the Hostel 4 Youth, we asked one police woman how to get there. She mentioned how nice the Hostel is Alberto Enrique, the owner and manager was very happy to see us and very proud to show his framed HostelBookers Award He showed us around and told us that he is changing the whole design of the Hostel. He showed us there training rooms, TV rooms etc. and he invited us for a couple of beers. He also told us why Berlin has 64 Hostels. The reason is that people don’t find any work, and empty spacious buildings in the city are easy to take on so they open an Hostel.
