About
Hostel 199
Hostel 199 sits on Danziger Strasse in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg, a neighborhood known for its lively streets and leafy corners. The 2-star property keeps things simple: rooms with heating, a shared kitchen, and common areas where guests actually gather. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
Guests consistently mention the convenience — a tram stop nearby, a bakery across the street, and a supermarket within walking distance. The host, often named David, gets frequent praise for local tips and quick communication. The vibe is more guesthouse than party hostel, with an emphasis on quiet, clean rooms and practical comforts.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 21:00, which could be tight for late arrivals.
- No pets and no smoking — The property doesn't allow pets or smoking anywhere on site, so plan accordingly.
- Some rooms share bathrooms — The Quadruple Room lists only a shower and heating, meaning a private bathroom isn't guaranteed in all room types.
- A mixed bag in reviews — While most reviews glow, a few note minor gripes like small kitchen or a less-than-vibrant common area.
