Here's a list of cheap hostels I received from Laura:
From a refurbished brewery in the nightlife district of Prenzlauer Berg to the state-of-the-art Baxpax Downtown Hotel, there are dozens of hostels in Berlin providing cheap beds to budget travelers.
But a hostel in Berlin isn’t just for students and backpackers exploring the city; with a range of private and dormitory rooms available, hostels are becoming increasingly popular with every traveler looking to save on accommodation.
And here’s a pick of the best budget hostels in Berlin…
