Berlin: The hostel

The final leg of my north-east trip (as I called this group of places) was in Berlin. I arrived in the Berlin Schoenenfeld airport from Brussels, and took the train to my hostel.


I stayed in Wombat's hostel for the third time (previously in Vienna and in Munich) The second time I stayed there, I got a free breakfast. This time I got a free T-shirt (they sell t-shirts at the hostel, and I got to pick one).


I think this is the best hostel I've stayed in. Check out the room:

the beds

I love the little bedside table, and how everyone has a light and an electrical socket.

the lockers

the key-card

This card works for both the door and the locker. For the door, you pass it in front of the scanner and it unlocks the door. But I don't quite understand how it works on the lockers. You use the card to press the locker button to lock/unlock it. It doesn't work if you press the button with your finger. But...how does it work? It has to be some kind of magnetic field...but I don't see how they make it unique to your card. (and why they don't use the same system as the one for the room door)

the bathroom

the view from the window
You can see the Fernsehturm (TV tower)

the free drink coupon

The bar is on the 7th floor if I'm not mistaken...there is a terrace with a view.

the night view

And in the kitchen...



Haha, I like how they add the talk about wombats.

Tourist pics coming up later...I thought a break would be welcome. :P
