I've stayed in 3 other hostels in Berlin and this one is the only one I don't mind to stay again. Very clean. The showers are comfortable and clean as well. The room was really nice. Instead of classical hostel beds, they've built a construction out of wood. It contributes to the stability of the bed, so the bed is not shaking when the neighbor climbs into his/her bed. Probably I'll stick to this hostel during my travels to Berlin.

I had a wonderful experience at the hostel; it truly felt like home. The kitchen was a great perk, offering free snacks and a fridge to store my food. Although there wasn't a reception, the owner was incredibly helpful and provided all the guidance I needed. A big thank you to Nelly and Svetlana for their amazing support!

The bed and pillow was very comfy. I slept smoothly during the day. Location was safe and close to the restaurants and the transportations. They had multiple outlets near the beds. The bed itself wasn’t too noisy when you move around. They also let me early check in whenever the bed was ready, I really appreciate for that.

The staff is great, everything was always clean and the location was really good. There’s a subway in front of the hostel, but yet you’ll be close enough to walk to the main points of the city. Would stay here again for sure.

    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
