RixHouse Hostel

I had two different rooms during my stay, changing rooms from fourth floor to fifth because a friend joined me. In the fourth floor room there was mould all over the shower curtain. I took it down to reception. The night desk guy had no idea where the curtains were kept. The next morning another staff person installed a new shower curtain. The room on the fifth floor is not serviced by the elevator and the rooms are worse. Avoid the fifth floor. You have to pay for bath towels and hand towels. Rooms are big enough for one person. The bed in both rooms on both floors is two singles pushed together and hard. On the fifth floor, theres a double locker taking up all the floorspace that is locked, thus useless. The “table” is the size of my hand and there is only one chair, a horrible folding chair. The good: the price, big bathrooms, convenient location for tourist sites via public transit and for getting to the hotel. However, neighborhood is gritty south Neukölln. If you want upscale leafy neighborhood then stay in Friedrichschain ( but not at Hotel Kiez pension).
