I've added some info about this now to the page. In short, you will need to 
find an accommodation for your budget.Because only a small amount of 
developers will join and most of them are from KDAB, we found it better if 
we don't enforce our standard accommodation onto external participants, and 
unfortunately finding ourselves a place that suits individuals is not 
possible.
 In any case, I've put there the recommended hotels, where KDAB employees 
(who don't work in Berlin) participating at the sprint will stay.

The above hotels cost about 70-90 euro/night. I found a hostel around, for
35 euro/night (http://www.grandhostel-berlin.de), there are also others 
nearby, from what I remember when walking around it. E.g 
https://www.meininger-hotels.com, right next door to the office (single room 
46 euro, shared room 14.50 euro). I don't know anything about their quality 
though.

You can look for anything on Templehofer Ufer or even near Potsdamer Platz.
Please check the map for surrounding area.
