Berlin: shop till you drop, arts and culture galore and of course party, party, party! Experience this dynamic metropolis and, at the same time stay in a peaceful environment!
Berlin – Am Wannsee youth hostel with its huge outdoor area is located on Lake Wannsee. We offer 285 beds in four-bedded rooms, some with en suite shower/WC, some shared (1 shower for 2 rooms) and WC outside the room; limited number of single and double rooms available.
The special feature of our hostel, its modern amenities aside, is its great location on Lake Wannsee, a peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of the big city. But Berlin city centre of Berlin is just a quick 15 minutes S-Bahn ride away. The town of Potsdam with Sanssouci Castle can also be reached in 15 minutes.

Customer Reviews Berlin - JH am Wannsee

| The kitchen staff made excellent food! | ||

| There wasn't much available for young people travelling alone - no suggestions of night life or how to meet people or anything. It seems maybe this hostel is designed entirely for school groups.
Also, some warning about dinner would've been nice. Arriving at night only to find dinner must be booked before 16.00 is not very practical. Perhaps mention this on the booking page. | ||

| Have some problem.
I paid by menbership card. But in the hostels reception they said that my payment already comes with the site discount.
I feel cheated because I bought a product that in practice give me the same discount of who don't paid for membership card.
I had this problem in Prague and Krakow.
I've not received any discount yet.
Sorry, my english no good...
Thanks | ||

| The security in shared rooms need to be improved. I really don't feel safe staying in your hostels. The staff seems pretty shady in turns of how they do room assignments. In the end, justice will prevail. | ||

| I had to cancel my reservation, however when I passed through where it was located, I knew I had missed a .great location. I'll book it the next time I return to Germany. | ||

| I gave this hostel a Poor for Comfort & Cleanliness because there was a huge mosquito problem. I suffered over 40 nasty, now infected bites on my legs! Because it is on a Lake and there is no A/C, the windows were often left open all over the hostel, letting them in and in consequence I am covered in bites. Do not stay here in the hottest part of the summer!!! | ||
