Sandino Summer Camp, hotel in Berlin

Situated within 5.4 km of Alexanderplatz Underground Station, Sandino Summer Camp in Berlin has a number of amenities including a garden, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities.

A couple of nights in a tent, what a great experience! The host is hilarious, with his chicken on his shoulder at reception, and the chickens around the place and as a theme. They were really encouraging of a community atmosphere. Everyone is welcome to sit around the firepit or in the lounge area to socialise. This place has the right idea about how to create a friendly backpacking environment.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Bus station is a one minute walk away! I feel like its much safer than most hostels since youre alone in a locked pod and your stuff isnt exposed + you have a personal locker. Its very comfortable, quiet (depending on whos near you ;)). Theres air flow inside the cabin that you can adjust which is amazing! Great location, great stuff I would definitely choose this place again

    It is a hostel in a great location for tourists on a low budget. It's close to the Central Station and has great connections to attractions through the metro, tram or bus. There are cafes, a big supermarket Kaufland, and a shopping center just around the corner. Apart from that, you get a standard for sleeping in the hostel. Overall it's a good option for just sleeping a night or two in Berlin but if you plan to stay for a week or longer I'd look for something more comfortable.
