The hostel ambiance was lovely, it gives you a Berlin vide. The rooms were clean and quite, I met very good people there which are my friends now. The location of this hostel is great, nice area, close to at least three U-bahn and couple of M-Tram.

This hostel offers private rooms with shower, so it's like staying in a hotel, only without tv and frigobar. The lack of those two is more than made up for by the offer of sheets and towels at no extra charge. Considering no one really needs TV nor a frigobar but everyone definitely needs sheets and towels, I think this is a much better deal! The staff was also very helpful and promptly fixed an issue we had when we arrived, relocating us to another room so we could swiftly put the kids to bed after a long day. To sum it up, I think we were better treated here than when we stayed at much more expensive places, especially in the Netherlands.

Very nice hostel with little rooms, comfortable bed, linens and towel are included. Far from all the main sightseeings, Ubahn in 15 minutes of walking. Not many bars or restaurants nearby. Big kitchen where u can't cook, but can eat and have tea/coffee 24/7: there are always bread and cream cheese, some rolls, pastries. Normal for short stays, just to sleep and have little breakfast before city exploring 😀

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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
