All rooms have en-suite bathrooms and free Wi-Fi. The hotel is located in a historic building across from a train station in Friedrichshain, a trendy, industrial area.

Oyster Hotel Review

PLUS Berlin

Scene

Youthful and creative with art garden and barbecue area

Inside the walls of an old, red brick school building an artistic hotel with vibrant artwork and creative elements reveals itself. There are many spaces for the young guests to meet up, including a sandy "beach" bar and an outdoor barbecue area. There’s also a common room with a TV and couches, and a big meeting room with ping-pong, billiards, and foosball tables. A courtyard garden has sculpture art on the lawn, and a colorfully painted shed-like building has a workbench and bizarre artwork inside. The decor in the opera-themed restaurant contrasts with the funky vibe of the rest of the hotel; modern and chic with sleek tables and portrait-covered light shades.

Rooms

Dorm rooms and standard guest rooms, both with plain decor

For a hotel that’s so artsy in the common areas, the rooms are very plain. Both standard rooms and hostel rooms are offered at the hotel, including all-female dorms. Dorms with four-and six-bunk-style beds are available, and there’s a tall locker inside the rooms for each guest -- but dorms don’t have TVs. All rooms have free Wi-Fi and en-suite bathrooms with pretty, mosaic tile-work.
