    Facilities and cleanliness were a bit lower than expected, but still in average level.

    Actually worth it's price. Really nice for teenagers or for those who need to have quick sleep for one night. Classic Berlin hostels.

    Sound from the shared bathrooms travelled through to the bedroom, woke up a few times to people when they were coming home at midnight. Carry suitcases up stairs (not a biggie for us, but may be for others with disabilities)

    Great location. Within 10 min (easy) walking to the metro & main roads. The room was spacious with plenty of space to put x2 suitcases. Access to washing machines, dryer & a coffee machine. Awesome security at the hostel. You can tell they’ve taken active steps to make sure people are safe & secure.

    The toilets and showers were not that pleasant, especially on the first floor.. Also the hostel not providing guests with soap/schampoo in the showers was disappointing. Beds in my room (004) were super squeeky which was a bummer but earplugs solved it

    Staff were super chill and helpful, same goes with the roommates i had! They also have a bar at the entrance which is a nice way of meeting new people if you're into that My bed was surprisingly comfy Very cheap place to stay in :)

    We had a slight hiccup during checkin. We arrived early so we were to get access to the room and the common bathrooms till our checkin. We were told that the room isn’t available. Since there was plenty time to checkin, we decide to use the locker service (€2) to store our bags and head out but then the lockers were full. Later the property checked us in. We could have done that right when we came and saved us 1 hour to trying to freshen up and change in the common area toilet.

    The room was spacious and clean. Close to a station with great connectivity and also to good and party joints.

    The radiator was on constantly so it got a bit hot in the room sometimes. But we did not ask the staff to turn it down so that is partially our fault.

    We booked a private room and we had so much space! Much more than we expected. The location was also great, close to the train station (we came to Berlin by train) and close to many good restaurants.

    I booked a single private ensuite room. My room had a sink and shower, but not a toilet. I had to use the communal toilet. It would have been good if it was made clear when choosing the room that the ensuite didn’t include a toilet.

    Staff were helpful and friendly.

    Wifi was very weak and slow probably my room was in the corner and this was the reason.

    The location of the hostel is very central. If you want to enjoy the night life of Berlin, this is a good place to stay because it is closer to these places. The staff was very smiley and friendly.

    Unfortunately when i arrived at the hostel, the female staff member who i spoke with was very rude, condescending, and i was genuinely shocked. It was a really bad way to start my visit to Berlin, especially after a long trip and as i was travelling alone. It tainted my stay at the Sunflower, but the rest of the staff seemed more approachable and attentive. I just got unlucky here i guess!

    This hostel is in a fantastic location and only a short walk from public transport links, making it easy to get to get around and a simple trip from the airport. The area feels residential being off the main road but is close to many bars, RAW, the eastside gallery, Berghain, and there is a supermarket on the next block, making it a great base for your visit to Berlin. The communal areas are welcoming and a good place to meet people if thats whats your after. Clean room, strong wifi, great hot shower.

    The breakfast could be better but for 6 euros you can't be too picky I guess. Its kind of awkward that the cleaning staff just come into the rooms whenever they need to clean. My son was still sleeping and woke up to a stranger in his room. I was explained by a lovely receptionist that it's how it has got to be in order for the cleaners to get everything done and I understand that. I'd say this hotel isn't for those who would like to hang "Do not disturb" sign on their rooms in order to sleep in.

    Very international lovely backpacker atmosphere. Nice bar downstairs and we loved the kitchen on our floor. Cooking facilities are great. The matrasses were very comfy and the shower had good water pressure. We felt very safe throughout our stay. Some guests were loud above us and I was immediately helped by staff to communicate with the noisy neighbours. Will definitely book again.

    -price was very high as for a hostel -interior of the building matches the surrounding area and I don't like it. It is the Berlin style of 'art' meaning half-torn stickers, graffitti (ok, rather not inside the building), etc. It makes me feel like I am in a squat or in slums, even though the bathrooms were clean and the bedsheets were very clean too!

    -Helpful staff -nice bar in the reception -good prices for coffee and tea -great location if you are visiting for parties -clean bathrooms

    The water got through the shower doors which made the floor wet all of the time. This led to a dirty floor. The mat in the bathroom was also soaked with water. The kitchen was ok, but one of the pans had food leftovers on them.

    Very social hostel and good location! We had a good time and price / quality is ok!
