Staff are friendly and helpful, they have events for the guests every night and everyone is invited (not for me but I think this is a highlight for solo travelers wanting to meet people). Location is great - easy access to transportation, cafes, restaurants, and groceries. Most of all, very comfy, even an introvert like me found it very peaceful despite staying is 4-bed dorm room, thanks to the layout of the rooms. I'll surely come back if I ever find myself on Berlin again.

Very cosy and homey hostel, it was nice to have somewhere to come back to that felt warm and comfortable after the cold days in Berlin. I was in a private room and loved that there was a kettle and tea in the room. I didn’t use the kitchen but it looked very clean and functional. There’s also a communal fridge and free tea for all guests. Close to two train stations and trams. Also lots of good restaurants and cafes about a 15min walk away.

Moved here after a bad experience at a different hostel, and was very relieved to find it clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and even let me check in early. A bit farther from most of the tourist attractions than some other hostels, but worth it for the quality!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I stayed in a pod and it was the right option for solo travelers on dormitory budget, with the advantage of having a bit more privacy and isolating yourself from other people's snoring. You get access to a locker and 5 shared toilets and showers. Breakfast could have been more generous. It was ok but could do much better in terms of the variety of things. Great location in Mitte. Right in front of Tram station and 3-5 minute walk from U-bahn and S-bahn station

Amazing hostel! Everything was clean, tidy and organised. Great location, close to heaps of restaurants. Lots of fridge space, big kitchen and multiple sitting areas. They also host heaps of communal activities which was great for meeting people and are big on being quiet at night and respecting peoples sleep. Couldn't recommend any higher

Very clean hostel in an old fine house. The location was better than I expected, just one subway away. The bunk beds are wide and really sturdy. High, safe railings. My own bed was with a green view by a beautiful, high arched window.

EastSeven is truly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Things I liked about it were: - Super friendly staff members that gave great recommendations and were always around to help - Spacious rooms with comfy beds - Easy to use kitchen and fridge space - Great, safe location (close to train station, cute neighbourhood, walking distance to city) - Activities every night run by the team (eg dinner night, board games, drinking games, etc) - Great outdoor area for chatting with other people in the hostel
