Berlin Day 3 - Last Beers?
12:00 Meininger City Hostel Hallesches Ufer
We meet Nizar, owner and manager of the Meininger City Hostel Hallesches Ufer, and told us why the Hostel is called Meininger. Being in Berlin, they needed a traditional German Name for the Hostel, so they choose Meininger because their first hostel is on Meininger Strasse. He showed us around and then we went to the Meininger City Hostel.
2 pm - Meininger City Hostel Tempelhofer Ufer
Meininger City Hostel Tempelhofer is very small and on the other side of Hallesches Ufer. He showed us some different rooms and then he told us where to go on a Saturday night to see Berlin’s night life. He then took the car for a ride to Berlin International Youth Hostel. And he was always very funny
2:40 pm - Berlin International Youth Hostel
At Berlin International Youth Hostel Hans Schwarz was very nice and a bit dry
He showed us how big the Hostel was and that you could choose different menus every day at their restaurant. They also had a big back yard where the guests can BBQ, playing football etc. after a few drinks we went to Hostel Adler.
4:40 pm - Hostel Adler
Mr. Khac, at Hostel Adler, was not there and his assistant told us he was at another Hostel outside of Berlin. Francois was a bit angry because he called hem about 10 times the last few day’s to make sure he was there. The assistant showed us around the Hostel, which was in need of a bit of a clean up and after seeing all rooms We went then to the Eastern Comfort Hostelboat.
6 pm - Eastern Comfort Hostelboat
Edgar, at Eastern Comfort Hostelboat, was a bit grumpy because he wasn’t expecting us, due to our delays in our appointments. After a beer, he was ok:) He told us how the boat is fixed to the river and how he had to cut the boat in half to transport it from Sweden to Berlin. He is an architect too and I have to say the boat is very nice designed, well done Edgar. He was showing us then the nice cozy rooms and the 6 bedroom dorms.
Saturday – 3 pm - Generator Hostel Berlin
The Generator Hostel Berlin is a party hostel – one of the biggest in the world with around 900 beds. We had a room right on top of the bar, that had a Party every night until 3am. So we didn’t have to much sleep the whole time. Sabine invited us to a coffee and she told us about the hostel history of Berlin.Top spot for a party, but be sure to ask for a quiet room if you’re there looking for some sleep!
