EastSeven Hostel, Berlin

Friendly staff and volunteers. Very clean rooms, beds, and bathrooms. Very comfy mattresses.

Common area couches need a deep professional cleaning or replacement.

Everything, everyone was a legend who was working there and met a great bunch of people. Can be chill and do your own thing or join the other travellers and have a great night. One of the best hostels I stayed at. Beds are so comfy too.

The hostel social activities, free cereal, kind and social guests

Loved my stay here - this was my first time visiting Berlin and East Seven really felt like a little home away from home. I stayed here for 8 days (with a split in the middle as they don't allow long stays) and I'd absolutely come back - there's so much opportunity to socialise but also to just chill out if that's what you prefer. The staff are all super approachable and go out of their way to host social events almost every evening. The dorms were comfortable and clean - really nothing to complain about for the price! Location is also nice, you do have to travel to get to the city centre, but there's plenty food and shopping options a short walk away as well. Lidl and Rewe are both really close by and the hostel kitchen is perfect for making a meal and storing food. Overall just a really great little hostel!

The atmosphere and people are like nowhere else!

Good location, bright, clean, relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of space in the common rooms to eat, or lounge. Secure storage for luggage under the bed (bring your own locker). Special mention to the staff who was extremely kind, accommodating and helpful!

No bad points.

The stuff is super friendly and helpful

The staff was friendly, although not all the volunteers even said hello. But the staff and volunteers helped when I needed help. At first I felt bad when I asked for help, but in the end it was good.

Curtains on the bed would have been lovely. I couldn't find all my food in the fridge, what was put in there.

Full kitchen (including an oven), female-only bathrooms, friendly staff, temperature of radiators can be adjusted, beds are made up for you, comfy beds, great shower pressure

There was no way to dry hands in the bathroom (paper towels or an air dryer would be good)

The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was super nice and friendly! I loved the organized activities every evening to meet new friends and have fun! Also the position is great, just 10 minutes walk from Mitte.

Some guests were not really respectful of common spaces such as bathrooms, leaving them not clean as they found, but it doesn't depend on the staff.

The staff is amazing and there with you to the end. They also organize events in certain times. The hostel itself is homey and cosy. Especially the backyard is good for chillin’.

The free Sunday dinner was delicious and I was glad I could have seconds. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. I wish I could have stayed longer. This was the best guesthouse I've ever stayed at.

Nothing in particular

Location, free breakfast, personal

Curtains can be installed on beds.

Such an extremely friendly comodation service. I love how they frequently creat events, gathering to connect people like a group of partners in crime to explore the city

You should have changed new sheets for traveles who stay more than 3 night

It had everything you need

Wonderful to meet new people

This hostel is definitely worth the money. First of all it has a great location, close to the metro station and only a 15-minute walk to Alexanderplatz. It’s equipped with all the necessary facilities and anything a guest might need. The room was cleaned every day and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip.

The Wi-Fi connection quality could be improved, but overall it was still good.

Atmosphere, but to some point. Comfortable mattress. The kitchen is perfect, the most equipped kitchen I even saw in hostels. Music in the kitchen. Free coffee in mornings.

Hostel organizes events, but they are too fussy for me. Also stairs to 3rd floor were too steep. So almost nothing bad, just my personal subjective feelings.

Cute private room, would stay again.

I loved how close its to the public transport, loved organised evening activities, which made guests get together. Its was my first hostel stay, I will repeat it and come back in the future🫶

Great location & even better vibes. This hostel is run great. Shout out to Kylah & Vanessa for being so helpful with recommendations on what to do! If you’re trying to go out in Berlin, this is the place to be!

The soap canisters in showers didn’t have soap/shampoo in them, but nothing major.

Perfect stay, clean and social atmosphere. Shoutout to Victor for being super welcoming and making everyone a delicious dinner!

Intercultural vibes and great group organization to spend time togheter and meet new people!

Nothing!

The rooms were very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. They were very helpful with everything and extremely accommodating. Public spaces were also very comfortable, clean, and well-kept.

Great facility. Helpful staff. Nice location.

Nothing really

Good kitchen with everything you could need. Kind staff, free filtered water, cereals and coffee

Rooms where quite small, just one shower/toilet for one floor.

On a scale of 1-10, I give EastSeven a 12! The staff is fantastic. The cleanliness is amazing. The location is excellent. I ate breakfast every morning at Impala, where the staff, food, and atmosphere are wonderful. The Americano coffee is excellent! Twice during my five-night stay, I ate at the Vietnamese restaurant, Lua, also 300 feet from the hostel. Excellent food. There is a bus stop 700 feet from the hostel, but a nice walk will take one to the Central Train station, which is a huge public transportation nexus. EastSeven should be your choice for a Berlin stay if you need a low-cost accommodation.

Good location. 10 min from centre on bus. Reasonably priced. Cornflakes/tea/coffee were included for breakfast😜

Shower toiletries were empty. I’d install paper towel next to bathroom sinks otherwise you have to take your towel with you for washing your face or anything else

Could be easier to socialice but still good

Amazing staff. Clean common areas and bathrooms. Convenient public transport connectivity. Great eating places nearby.

I loved this hostel! It was clean, very updated and had a great atmosphere. The beds were far enough apart that it didn’t feel crowded. The free morning coffee was nice as well. Also, they were very accommodating and moved me to a lower bunk as I injured my knee before my trip. All in all a wonderful stay!

The only downside was one of the other hostel guests snored all night & was making lots of noise at odd hours, shining lights, crunching chips, etc. But this is of course not the fault of the hostel :)

Everything was amazing! The staff is super friendly and helpful. There are fun activities happening every day, and plenty of spaces to just relax or hang out with others. Lots of clean, well-maintained bathrooms. The showers are perfect. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds, and the location is excellent.

Perfect location in Berlin, safe and close to many restaurants and cafe. Hostel is friendly, super clean and comfortable. I had a great time and I would definitely consider it again for my next trip!

I would only recommend considering adding even a super small desk in the room.

Staff and guests were friendly and welcoming, great amenities, clean and modern space. Convenient location and hostel gave heaps of great recommendations and opportunities to socialise.

Very nice hostel with lovely people working there.

No air conditioning which was hard during the summer. Besides that everything was great.

I think it was the most social hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The common areas the lounge, kitchen, garden, and relaxing zone make you feel right at home. Every evening they organize different activities, and if you have time, I’d highly recommend joining them. If you come to this hostel, there’s a high chance you’ll want to stay longer , so plan to take a few extra days if you can!

The room I stayed in was quite small for four people, and there was no chair or place to sit

Rooms of 4 are spacious. The area is calm. Staff is kind.

Bed was ok for me.

Great location, everything was super clean. Everyone who worked there was friendly. Met loads of great people. Couldn’t have stayed at a better place. I will definitely be back again!

Nothing.

One of the best hostels I have stayed at. Staff were amazing and they let us relax at the property after check out since our flight out of Berlin was later that day.

It was very clean. Staff was very friendly. Location was superb.

Nothing to add here.

Really great hostel overall - has both the social side of things, but there’s also quiet down time. Multiple common areas for cooking, eating, hanging out, both indoor and outdoor. The staff are really great too!

Staff

The staff was super friendly and international. The whole atmosphere and the living room and little garden was so cozy. If you want to connect with other people it’s pretty easy with the WhatsApp group. The bathrooms looked a tad old but the water pressure and heat of the shower was really great. There was a women only bathroom. I don’t know if it was a coincidence but there were quite a few seniors (60+) staying and it was not the typical “only 18 year old backpacker vibe” you sometimes have. I within my 30s was somewhere in the middle.

Sometimes it was a little loud in the nighttime (just groups of people laughing and talking) but by 12 it was mostly quiet.

Room was clean and light with good locable storage

Lack of privacy curtains on the beds made it hard to block out light when my two nocturnal roommates would arrive at midnight to start getting ready to go out.

Super social hostel with group get togethers planned everyday so that you can meet other travellers and experience the real Berlin. Staff were always super helpful and location is great in the Prenzlauer Berg neighbourhood, which has heaps of trendy restaurants and bars too.

Loved the staff. They were so friendly and organised great group outings. Location was awesome. So many cool shops and restaurants. Beds were super comfy and clean.

Nothing. Loved it!

Everything!!! I loved the hostel, staff and fellow travelers. If you are a solo traveller this hostel is a best place to stay in Berlin

Very social hostel, went above and beyond to organise group activities. The outdoor section was really vibey and nice to hang in. The area was fantastic.

Honestly nothing major, maybe some curtains on beds for privacy but tbh the rooms themselves were spacious enough with good secure storage that it didnt really matter.

Everyone was cool I guess

No space in the fridge 🥲

I absolutely loved this hostel from the moment I entered until I left. I was greeted by smiling, friendly, genuine staff. Most of the team members are travellers/volunteers and know the importance of providing fellow travellers with good experiences. My room, 44, was great. The bathroom, kept immaculately clean, was immediately adjacent to my room and it almost felt as if it was ensuite. I enjoyed being able to listen to other hostel guests as they quietly socialized in the back garden. It felt really good when the team members I met and interacted with remembered my name. They provided good recommendations on where to eat and sights to visit. I'm in my 70s and appreciate quality and authenticity. East Seven has several plaques proudly proclaiming their status as The Best Hostel in Germany. Not at all an exaggeration. La creme de la creme. Had I not other cities and adventures in my itinerary, I would have gladly extended my 5 day stay in Berlin and at East Seven.
