Berlin Hostels

Clean, social and well located EastSeven Hostel is clean, modern and well maintained. There are many young volunteers, and the staff are friendly and easy to talk to. Breakfast is available from 6:00 to 10:00, mainly milk and cereals. The hostel has a strong social vibe, with movie nights, drinking games and quiz nights. Many guests go clubbing together. The female dorm stays quiet at night. There are unisex bathroom and female-only bathroom, both with separate shower areas. The rooms are warm, with good heating, bedside lights and a hair dryer available (in the bathroom. ) — very comfortable in Berlin winter. Public transport is close: about a 5-minute walk to the U-Bahn and 10 minutes to bus stops. The airport is around 1 hour away, and Berlin Central Station just over 20 minutes. Tip: during U2 construction near Senefelderplatz, ride one extra stop toward Pankow and change back. Overall, a solid choice if you want a clean, social hostel with easy transport access.

Very good core location, no noise. The room is high, the design is reasonable, with a separate bathroom, dry and wet separation. There is a cabinet with a door card lock in the room, which is very safe. The front desk helped us arrange a room with a girl in the absence of a girl's dormitory according to our requirements. The garden is great too, everything is fine anyway! Highly recommended.

Location is convenient. Love that the beds aren’t bunk beds. Friendly staff with fluent English. If only it had a common area for cooking/storing food…The hostel sells pizza but last night at around 1am they burnt a pizza and set off the fire alarm so everyone had to evacuate from the hostel in the middle of their dreams…

The bedding was clean and the facilities were tidy. However, I wish there were more hair dryers. The soundproofing against noise from the hallway wasn't great, but I didn't notice any noise between rooms. Overall, I was very satisfied, and I especially enjoyed my trip because I met great people in the same room. The location is also very convenient, right in front of the station. If I come to Berlin again, I would definitely want to stay here!

Sometimes the front desk staff gives the key without checking, so in the case of female customers, it is a female-only room, but there are cases where the key of the mixed room is given even though they did not choose a mixed room. Other than that, it's a place that's attractive in terms of price, and it's safe and there's nothing stolen.

Great location if you want to explore east berlin and all of it’s cool cafe’s and urban areas. Private rooms are fine. Little noisy at night but no big issues.

This place is a bit far from the center of Berlin, but it seems to be a safe and, according to locals, affluent area. There isn't staff on-site all the time, but I was able to check in via internet call. The showers are shared between men and women, which is common in Germany, but there seems to be a separate women's shower room, so effectively they are separated. Both the showers and toilets were clean; I had no issues with them. However, since it's on the ground floor and faces the street, I occasionally heard voices, footsteps, and smelled cigarette smoke from outside, but that's to be expected. I'd likely stay here again on my next trip to Berlin!

Cons: Upon check-in, I was given a key card that wouldn't open the door. I went back down to reception, and the staff member tried to open it too, but couldn't. It turned out the entrance was on the other side, where different room numbers were indicated. This oversight means I can't just walk into my room where the numbers are displayed; I always have to remember that my room is on the other side. Very inconvenient. There was only cold water in the shower. I spoke to the cleaning staff about this, but they didn't speak English. And yes, the hostel is designed with many rooms, all connected by a single corridor, which also includes toilets and showers. There are some shower stalls (with a sink and shower) where the door is so short that there's a gap at the bottom, near your feet, which is very uncomfortable. It was exactly in one of these showers that there was no hot water, which, to put it mildly, infuriated me. I also reported this issue to reception. There was no power outlet by my bed. I had to charge my phone at the outlet near the window (which is a common area, and my neighbor had spread out his belongings, so I had to reach over his stuff to get my phone at night). I've attached a photo. This is inconvenient and uncomfortable. I also reported this to reception (specifically, that my bed didn't have one). Pros: Free postcards for tourists (+ various discounts) There's always a lively bar downstairs with many people hanging out. Stylish corridor decor. Honestly, I am very disappointed with this hostel. I stayed at this hostel chain in Vienna, and it was amazing; everything was thought out to the smallest detail. Moreover, each room there had its own shower, toilet, and sink, which is a big plus. Here, everything is quite basic and poor; the building is very old and needs renovation and updating.

Good for a short stay. Location was in a nice west neighbourhood in Berlin with lovely nature beside it. Quiet place, 10 mn walk to the Sbahn. Basic amenities and would recommend the breakfast!

I stayed there myself in a 4 bed dormitory room. It was an excellent room and I liked the service. But it is better to have a socket near the bed for charging. They have two usb charging ports near every beds but it is better to have a c port or a charging socket. But overall, I liked it. Especially the staffs are always helpful. I am highly recommend it to whom who are looking for a cheap accommodation😊
