ALCATRAZ Backpacker Hostel

Central. Individual. Affordable.

The Alcatraz Backpacker Hostel is centrally located in the middle of Berlin's trendy district Prenzlauer Berg in former East Berlin.

Not far away from our hostel was the Wall, dividing Berlin into East and West. Now, only the “Mauerpark” commemorates this period of history. Today, Prenzlauer Berg is a vibrant district full of life where both residents and tourists stroll through its many shops, clubs, cafes, bars, nightclubs and restaurants.

Whether you are travelling by yourself, as a couple, with a bunch of friends or as a larger group: the Alcatraz Backpacker Hostel offers a friendly and cozy atmosphere for its international guests. The house was colourfully decorated by local graffiti artists and is a popular photo opportunity both for passers-by and our guests alike.

In our typical Berlin building we offer a cheap and individually styled accommodation with numerous complimentary amenities. Among other things, you have a kitchen for communal use, lockable cabinets in the dorms, PC's for surfing the internet (also wifi), table football and much more absolutely free of charge. Best conditions to spend a few nice days on a low-budget in Berlin!

Our Alcatraz Backpacker Hostel offers you the ideal opportunity to explore the great city of Berlin in all its diversity and meet nice people from all over the world.
We invite you to enjoy the friendly and relaxed atmosphere of our hostel and look forward to advise you personally when planning your explorations of our capital city Berlin.

The Alcatraz-Team is available around the clock and looks forward to welcoming you!

See you soon in Berlin!
