Ive stayed in hostels all over europe before. Perfectly fine. Just try to make sure its one of the official HIHostel ones. Others could be a bit dodgy. Also dont leave anything of value in your room etcetc but unlike hotels there are no room cleaners to go in pinching your stuff.

Berlin is a brilliant city! Was there last year. Got to stand on top of the Reichstag to watch the fall of the wall 20yr celebrations!
Clothes shopping there is excellent as are all the pubs! Can't recommend 'White Trash' bar enough!
We stayed in the Raddison which has a huge glass fish bowl in the lobby! Google it too see what i mean!

I went to one near berlin when i went a few years ago. They had built a tourist centre on the site, and other construction work was going on, killed the idea for me
