First of all, the staffs were all super super helpful and friendly, can't ask for anything more, well done guys. room is pretty clean, with good ventilation, bathroom and shower isn't in the room but they were both surprisingly very well maintained, I'm pretty OCD, and I'm happy with both. Location is also nice.

This place is just a 4 minute walk from a U1 metro station, which makes it very convenient, especially if you’re catching an early flight. The metro starts running at 4 AM, so getting to the airport by 5 AM is no problem. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Raquel, she was just as amazing at night as she was at 3:30 in the morning! I really appreciated the 24-hour reception and the complimentary tea or coffee offered on arrival. The building itself is charming, and the common area is cozy. While there’s no elevators, the staircase is wide and manageable. I stayed in a 4-bed room. The bed was comfortable, and the room temperature was perfect. My only issue was that there seemed to be just one mixed toilet on that floor, so it could get busy at times. Each bed has its own lamp and power outlet, and the lockers were quite spacious (don’t forget to bring your own lock). The showers were consistently clean. Breakfast was okay-ish if you’re looking for a warm option, it costs €10.90 and includes scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, sausages, cheese, bread, potatoes, ham, cereal, fruit, coffee, and tea. The woman attending was very kind and let me fill my thermo with hot water, as did the reception staff, something I really appreciated. They also offer safety boxes at reception for €3 a day, which is great if you need to store valuables before check-in. That said, you can always leave your bags in the luggage room free of charge. There’s a supermarket nearby.

All hostels in Berlin

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

    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
