Fabian's Cozy Bella Etage - Hostel: Your sweet little HOME, away from home!
Fabian's Bella Etage is a small & cozy family like hostel, founded in 2007, with a relaxed personal atmosphere and nostalgic & antique decorations. It's has just a few double- and one single-room and also two medium dormitory, all with a big common bathroom and also a little privacy one
and of course the common kitchen.
Some typical reviews:

"A Really great Hostel. Great People, very well located, Very Clean, good kitchen, good bathrooms...... I recommend it! for sure!!"
by Tonato, Argentina, Male25-30
The Hostel is located in the 1st level, the "Bella Etage" of a historic corner house.
In the Kaiser's time the houses was residence of Prussian army officers, with a view to the Great Parade Avenue, called Alt-Moabit which is our street. From here you can see all demonstrations, parades and the marathons.
Berlin-Mitte district, is one of the 12 independent district within Berlin state, it's the most central district, once divided by the famous Berlin wall.
Tiergarten (deer-garden) is in the western part of it, with our quarter Moabit, founded by French protestant refugees in 1688, named after Mont Moab, a desert location in the holy bible, transformed into a paradise.
This days it's a very lively multi-cultural quarter, with a lot of students, artists, workers & middle-class mixed, with a lot of people with foreign background, from Turkey, Greece, Vietnam, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Russian, Poland, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Australia & Argentina.
Many of our former guests found apartments in the neighbourhood and still stay in contact with me after years.
So welcome to Berlin and have a nice time and stay with us.
Hope to see you soon
Fabian, Martin & Stephan

Our house has a share-house character, and is based on mutual politeness, as being quiet at night and leaving the kitchen spotless clean at any time.
We wish you a pleasant stay. Fabian & friends
