MEININGER Berlin Central Station, hostel in Berlin
MEININGER Berlin Central Station is a hotel and hostel located directly next to Berlin's main train station in the district of Berlin-Mitte. It offers private rooms as well as shared rooms and dormitories, all with their own bathroom, shower, toilet, and television.
The building was constructed as part of the redevelopment of the area around Berlin's main train station after reunification. The station itself opened in its current form in 2006, which transformed the whole neighborhood around it.
The hotel takes its name from its location at the main train station and reflects the role of this place as a hub for people from around the world. The shared spaces and lounge with a 1950s diner feel welcome guests of all backgrounds who meet here to chat, exchange stories, and plan their trips together.
The hotel is directly accessible from the Washingtonplatz exit of the main train station and has a 24-hour front desk along with free WiFi throughout the building. Guests can also use luggage storage, a shared kitchen for self-catering, and washing machines on site.
The ground-floor lounge is designed in the style of an American diner from the 1950s, which stands in clear contrast to the modern architecture of the building. This detail is something many guests point out in their reviews as memorable.
