Luggage storage at Berlin Ostkreuz

Changing trains at Ostkreuz often means hours to fill before a connection or a check-in. We'll help you decide among Stasher's nearby options.

Badeschiff bans suitcases outright and the Alexa shopping centre runs no cloakroom of its own, so neither nearby outing solves the problem of a big bag.

Getting around and bag rules at the station

There are no specific size limits for bags you're carrying, but the station does prohibit taking heavy or bulky luggage onto escalators — worth remembering if you're travelling with something big enough to be awkward. The Airport Express connects Berlin Ostkreuz to the airport in about 15 minutes. If you're staying in the city, nine S-Bahn lines and six bus routes pass through, so most of Berlin is reachable without changing trains.

Nearby attractions and where to leave bags

Badeschiff, the floating outdoor pool and beach bar on the Spree, is a summer draw close to the station — but it bans suitcases and large bags outright, so don't arrive with anything you can't carry at your side. It's easy to reach by bus from Heckmannufer, three hundred metres from the pool, though tickets need to be bought online in advance for a set slot.

Alexa Berlin, the shopping centre over towards Alexanderplatz, doesn't run a cloakroom or luggage storage of its own either, so neither of these two nearby outings solves the problem of a big bag.
