La propiedad — Main Station Hotel & Hostel
Behind the huge yellow facade on Greifswalder Strasse, this 3-star hybrid has a functional, no-frills lobby with a reception desk, a small shop and a self-check-in kiosk. It feels like a clean, efficient base for backpackers and budget travellers who want a private room with an en-suite rather than a dorm, not a place you’d linger. The USP is location: a 10-minute train ride from Alexanderplatz, right next to a tram stop and a large park. It suits solo travellers, couples and groups who prioritise convenience and price over character.
Crónicas de Berlin
Berlin began as a trading settlement in the 13th century, became the capital of Prussia, then of a unified Germany in 1871. The city was rebuilt after war damage and division, its eastern and western halves developing distinct cultural identities until reunification in 1990. Today’s Berlin is a low-rise, sprawling metropolis with a skyline punctuated by the TV Tower and old industrial chimneys, known for its techno clubs, flea markets and public art. The city remains proud of its cycling infrastructure, affordable living and museum landscape, but also struggles with gentrification and uneven urban development.

Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Berlin
- Berlin’s U-Bahn and S-Bahn are currently disrupted by ongoing construction work on the Ringbahn (S41/S42) and U5 line; expect delays and replacement buses on weekends – check BVG.de before travelling.
- A new direct-night-bus service (N95) now runs from Alexanderplatz to Pankow and Prenzlauer Berg, bypassing the old route via Greifswalder Strasse – useful for late returns.
- The 2026 Berlin Pride (Christopher Street Day) is on 27 June, so the hotel may be busier than usual on the 28th; book early if you want to join.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Main Station Hotel & Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Room 101 on the ground floor is recommended due to its wider door and roll-in shower. To minimize street noise, request a room on the higher floors (3rd or 4th) as they are further away from Quitzowstraße.
Rooms to avoid
The hostel dorm wing in the basement is best avoided due to its steep staircase, and rooms near the service entrance (ground floor) may be noisier due to deliveries and staff activity.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Quitzowstraße does not offer any spectacular views, but rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor may have a slight view of the surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are likely to be quieter due to their distance from the street and the main entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Quitzowstraße may be noticeable, especially during weekdays (09:00-20:00) when street parking is restricted.
