Would definitely recommend this hostel. Within reasonable distance of all attractions in Berlin via the easy to use s- Bahn train system. However i wouldnt use the directions given with the hostel, much easier to ask at an information desk.
Lovely hostel however, friendly staff and clean rooms. I would stay here again

This is a lovely hostel, with friendly staff and it is very clean,
It is a little difficult to find with the instructions given from the booking, however once you find it, it is a good distance from all good places to visit in Berlin.
I would stay here again!

I stayed at the Meininger hostel on Tempelhofer Ufer over Easter 2006 and again in early August 2006.
Both times I was travelling alone and booked a single room.
First time I had a ground floor room which was very easy to access direct from the street, without going into the hostel proper. This room had one single bed.
Second time I was on the second floor (two flights up) in a larger room with two single beds.
The rooms are very modern, if spartan. Cleanliness is excellent.
For a continental breakfast the selection is so-so: cereals, toast, cheese, cold meats, yogurt, fruit, juice, tea and coffee.
The service was at all times fantastic - very helpful staff.
There are three Meininger hostels in Berlin; I chose this one because it's the smallest and cosiest, and all rooms have private bathrooms. The main hostel, directly over the canal, is massive with much more of a typical hostel vibe.
The location is excellent - about a 10-15 minute walk to Potsdamer Platz, and about 10 minutes to the restaurants and cafes of the southern part of Kreuzberg.
I'd definitely stay here again.
