Two more trains later, I made it to Berlin at 7pm. I'm pretty exhausted, but at least I got here I guess.
I knew that hostels were a hit and miss thing, but seriously, I am really tired of pubs with a few rooms masquerading as hostels. A hostel should have a guest kitchen, a laundry, and lockers for your things. The hostel I booked into (Citystay Hostel Mitte) has no kitchen (it has its own restaurant), it has no laundry (it has a within-24-hours laundry service), and it has no lockers (just hope your things don't get stolen I guess). They also require you to pay €3 for bed sheets, whether or not you have your own. Before finding all this out, I was thinking I might eat in their restaurant tonight, but after realising I was in another pathetic joke of a hostel, I decided to have dodgy noodles from the fast food asian place around the corner. This hostel is getting as little of my money as possible.

Yipppeeee- I think you have an attachment to trains and dodgy hostels! Keep safe and have fun....Mum x
I'm starting to wonder if Hostel in Europe can mean different things. There have been a couple that were more like cheap hotels than backpackers, with no kitchen, lockers etc - perhaps Backpackers is what you need to look out for.
