The 18-room Hotel and Hostel Friedrichshain has a second name: "Home Away from Home." The owners so named it because they want travelers to be comfortable with staying at the Friedrichshain for both long and short stays, one to 30 days, or even longer, if need be.
Situated in the hinterhof (courtyard) of an apartment building along the busy Warschauerstrasse, "Home Away From Home" is in the midst of the now-trendy Friedrichshain scene. The lobby is comfortable enough, with warm-tones, comfy oversized chairs, and a cheerful staff.
Upstairs, single and double rooms share baths (two rooms to each bath) just like at home. The bed-to-bath ratio in the cheaper hostel rooms is greater (cheaper hostel rooms share bathrooms with more rooms than the singles and doubles). Full kitchens are on each floor with designated fridge space for each guest. The hotel offers cheaper prices for those booking a longer stay. Hostel rooms make sense for budget travelers who want hostel prices without a hostel environment.
