The hostel really exceeded my expectations. I stayed in a private room that was very spacious, modern, and bright. All the shared facilities — including the toilets, showers, common area, and kitchen — were exceptionally clean and beautifully designed. The staff was also very nice and friendly. I really enjoyed the neighborhood too — it was my first time in this district, and it felt vibrant with plenty of good and reasonably priced food options nearby. Just a tip: it’s easier to reach the hostel from Ostbahnhof

Room was a bit on the smaller side but nothing too problematic, there is a big locker for every visitor. Room was clean, beads were comfy, bathroom nice, wifi works well, staff was nice and helpful... There is a kitchen that can be used in case you want to prepare your own food. It is located some 10 - 15 minutes of walking to the Alexander Platz in a residential neighborhood with a lot of parks (especially for children). I have stayed in several hostels in Berlin, and Singer is definitely one of the better ones...

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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
