About

Minihostel 12Monkeys Kudamm - Berlin

Minihostel 12Monkeys Kudamm is a compact 2-star hostel on Waitzstrasse, in a quiet side street off the Kurfürstendamm shopping boulevard. The building is basic but kept clean, with parquet floors and a safety deposit box at reception for guests' valuables. The hostel offers two shared dormitory types – a 4-bed mixed dorm and an 8-bed mixed dorm – each with a bunk bed, a shower and heating.

Public transport is the hostel's strongest asset: the metro station is literally next to the door, making it easy to reach the rest of Berlin. The main sights – Museum Island and the Berlin Wall Memorial – are both about 7 km away, while Zoo Berlin is roughly a 25-minute walk. With rates starting from £17 per night, this is a no-frills option for travellers who plan to spend most of their time out and about.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Superb transport links — The metro station is right next to the hostel, making it effortless to explore Berlin. A guest review specifically praised the convenient access to the city's public transport.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Far from the historic centre — Museum Island and the Berlin Wall Memorial are both around 7 km away, so expect a longer journey if your itinerary is focused on the east-side sights.
  • Basic dormitory facilities — Rooms are simple – only a bunk bed, shower and heating – with no extra amenities like lockers or ensuite bathrooms. For a 2-star hostel, expectations should be kept modest.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 14:00 and 23:59. If your travel plans could bring you later, you'll need to arrange a different solution.
