Friendly hosts, social and considerate atmosphere. Easily the best hostel I've stayed at as a lone traveller. Despite being a bit older than the average backpacker, I still felt welcomed and enjoyed the stay!

Everything. This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. Oliver is an excellent host. The cleaning ladies are also very friendly and leave everything super clean. It is the best price-value ratio. I went to run the Berlin marathon and I really had a good time and there were many runners. If you are looking for a place to stay that season, I recommend that you stay here.

Loved the location and the hostel provided a safe and nice space between the bathrooms and the common areas. They had this ‘spa’ bathroom with supplies in case you get your period and weren’t prepared.

Good location with underground, tram and bus within a lively neighborhood. Room is spacious and well-designed. The shower room is among the best I’ve encountered in hostels, for it has enough space and hooks and the water pressure is great. The locker room is free and easy to use. There’s always coffee, snacks and fruits. And they even have a brewery and the lager is pretty nice. Also good value to money!

All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Shoutout to Miguel, the Portuguese staff member — it was nice talking to him, awesome guy! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was great. The overall vibe at the hostel, both from the staff and guests, was really positive.

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
