Situated right in the heart of trendy Prenzlauer Berg, Alcatraz is not exactly an island of quiet retreat. It can be quite rowdy, especially during the summer months when the guests all seem to be consipring to night-time activities. Something which is not always so pleasant if you're after a nice nap but then who needs to sleep. Berlin doesn't sleep. It parties, and so should you.

Cooking facilities, lockers, WIFI and table football are all provided as part of the cost of a night. There's a small communal area in the courtyard which is rather nice to hang around during the warmer months.
Price examples
Bed in an 8 bed dorm for €13
Bed in a 6 bed dorm for €15
Why is it a good choice for a budget traveller?
Because it's safe, it's within walking distance from all local amenities, and the staff are freakishly friendly.
Where
Schoenhauser Allee 133a, nearest U-bahn station is Eberswalderstrasse

Certainly not lacking in colour
