When the first guests arrived at the Odyssee hostel the paint on the walls hadn't even dried, they were that anxious to check the place out. One of the first things you'll notice about this hostel when you brush through the front door, apart from the huge knight in shining armour, is that the reception also doubles up as a lively bar area - complete with kicker and pool.
Walking distance from the East Side Gallery, the hostel is located in the funky, fresh area of Friedrichshain - renowned for it's squats, punks, and general rebelliousness. All you can eat breakfast is served every morning, and the late checkout times mean that you can saunter down when you really feel like it.
Unlike a lot of other hostels, linen and bed sheets at this hostel are free.
Price examples
8 bed dorm for €10
6 bed dorm for €12 (both winter prices)
Why is it a good choice for a budget t
raveller?
Because we once read on a toilet stall somewhere that they have the softest pillows in Berlin, but we never plucked up the courage to ring the number and find out.
Where
Grueneberger Strasse 23, nearest major station is Frankfurter Tor U-bahn

My experience at the Odyssee (midyear 2005) included washbasins blocked with vomit from late-returning loud night-club goers. Appeals to staff did not bring improvements until a couple of days later. Rooms small. Individualised paint scheme in our room very unattractive, but other rooms seemed better. Only one powerpoint in the room made charging three people's cameras and phones a pain. Lot of cigarette smoke in the reception area. Breakfast ok but limited.
