Der Weltempfänger

Situated in Ehrenfeld, my favourite part of town, Weltempfänger (“world receiver”) lives up to its name ¬– it’s where travellers from around the world congregate alongside local residents. Ehrenfeld has pleasant shops, bars, cafés, restaurants and clubs galore. And it’s just round the corner from Grüngürtel park, which is perfect for taking some outdoor exercise or a picnic in the sun. Most of the rooms are en-suite and all are functionally furnished, with some nice personal touches such as vintage lamps. You enter the hostel via a cosy bar area, where it’s easy to meet locals over a drink and a chat or listen to a live band perform. Between 8 am and 1 pm Weltempfänger serves an organic breakfast for just under EUR 6, which is available to non-residents as well.
