The Do Step Inn is only a couple of blocks from the Westbahnhof train station so is within walking distance and easy to notice by the huge banners which hang out front.
When I arrived there were a lot of people waiting in the lobby; or, rather, there were people waiting in the very small lobby. The Front Desk, though, kept her chin up and smile on and attended to everyone as best she could even fulfilling the gesture of pouring complimentary drinks to fresh arrivals. Impressive. Note: choose water or Coca-Cola or even crappy Fanta---Fanta is sooooo popular here---over the red wine (horrible!) but it's the thought that counts; and I emptied the glass.
Depending on where you're bunking, Do Step Inn can become the Mucho Step Inn
I found the single room, albeit with television, private shower and toilet, too lacking for the forty-something euros it cost and immediately downsized to a dormitory. My new room was located around the corner and up the block. That's right: around the corner and up the block. So...depending on where you're bunking, Do Step Inn can become the Mucho Step Inn. But I was very satisfied with my 5-bed dorm. It cost 13.50 and was comfortable and preferable to the single room. The building annex has separate showers for men and women---the men's shower area consisted of two private showers---bathrooms separate from the showers, which appears to be a common design in the Old Country, and a wonderfully furnished kitchen and commons area.
What the hostel lacks in lobby space it makes up for in other areas of its buildings. Plenty of spaces for socializing and hanging out. And wi-fi access is available in the main building. No laptop? There are two FREE computers and the Internet connection is fast.
