The double rooms at PREMIUM Hostel are well equipped, featuring a double bed, a large table with a TV, two chairs and a refrigerator. The rooms look just like the photos, ensuring that guests can set their expectations accordingly. However, there are notable drawbacks, including poor ventilation and the lack of air conditioning. Cleanliness seems to be a recurring issue with several mentions of dirty bathrooms, toilets and unclean sheets and pillows. Some rooms have been described as cramped and unsecured with evacuation doors and regular doors not being locked. Additionally, some rooms have issues with unpleasant smells and inadequate amenities like shower curtains.
PREMIUM Hostel has received mixed reviews about its beds. Guests have noted the beds as comfortable in some instances and praised the double beds for being good and comfortable with rooms that looked nice.

Issues such as torn mattresses, yellowed pillows and dirty, musty and stained bedding were frequently mentioned. Concerns about bedbugs and a bad smell from the bed were also raised.

Overall, the condition of the sleeping accommodations at PREMIUM Hostel needs significant improvement according to guest feedback.
"PREMIUM Hostel" appears to struggle significantly with cleanliness based on guest reviews. Multiple comments point to dirty rooms and bathrooms, describing conditions as extremely dirty, smelly and unhygienic. Issues include poor bathroom maintenance, black mold, clogged sinks and overall neglect. The rooms reportedly often smell unpleasant with old and uncomfortable bedding. Additionally, there are mentions of insufficient toilet paper and trash accumulation. While the hostel's location, being roughly 25 minutes from Berlin's main tourist areas, is a positive attribute, the prevailing sentiment is overshadowed by numerous complaints about cleanliness and inadequate facilities. The overall impression is that "PREMIUM Hostel" falls short of its name, lacking in both hygiene and maintenance.

The Wi-Fi at the PREMIUM Hostel generally receives positive feedback from guests. Many have found the internet to be good with some specifically noting the extremely fast fiber-optic Wi-Fi. It appears that the Wi-Fi works well throughout the hotel and is easy to connect to. However, not all reviews are glowing, as some guests experienced slow or poor Wi-Fi.
