Pfefferbett Hostel Berlin

Pfefferbett Hostel Berlin on Pfefferberg

Pfefferbett Hostel Berlin is located on the Pfefferberg grounds in Prenzlauer Berg, a former brewery complex that now houses theaters, galleries, and workshops. The Senefelderplatz subway station is two stops from Alexanderplatz; from the Saarbrücker Straße exit, the path leads across the courtyard to House 6. The operator is a non-profit organization from the VIA network, so the hostel is not a typical operation. This is also evident in its approach to school groups: if funding threatens to prevent a class from participating, the hostel states it will look for a solution. The inner courtyard serves as a garden with a barbecue area, hammocks, and sunshades; a grill and firewood are available for a small fee. The Pfefferberg Theater is right next door. Those arriving with a class can reach Alexanderplatz in a few minutes while also having the quieter streets of Prenzlauer Berg at their doorstep, which makes evenings more manageable than in the entertainment districts further south.

45 Rooms in Seven Categories and a School Camp on Wannsee

Spread across three floors are 45 rooms in seven categories, from single rooms with rainforest showers to four- and six-bed rooms with private bathrooms, and eight-bed rooms with shared bathrooms. One six-bed room is reserved for women and additionally equipped with a make-up mirror and hairdryer. Each bed has a reading lamp and power outlet, lockers open via card reader, and blackout curtains are standard equipment. For school trips, the hostel offers accommodation in four- to eight-bed rooms, single or double rooms for teachers depending on the category upon request, and free spots for accompanying persons depending on booking size. Billing is done via a single invoice, and catering ranges from breakfast and packed lunches to barbecue evenings in the courtyard. Those who prefer green surroundings will find a school camp on Großer Wannsee for up to 59 people in the same building. Washing and drying costs 5 Euros including detergent, a parking space on the premises costs 12 Euros per day. Billiards, foosball, and table tennis are free, and the vegetarian breakfast buffet includes homemade spreads and a bread bar.
