EastSeven Berlin Hostel

Came to EastSeven cause of the wonderful reviews about the warm friendly atmosphere and it's true! I was pretty anxious travelling alone cause my friends were busy, but honestly found it so welcoming and easy to make new friends there. Many of the staff there (it's largely friendly Aussies) are volunteers helping out, so you know they're genuinely passionate about the hostel, and they run social events like family dinners, board games, drinks, etc every night to help you meet each other before going out together! The vibe also depends on who else is there at the time of your stay, but I was pretty lucky that everyone was awesome there when I stayed. There are several large social spaces including a kitchen and common room to hang with others if that's your thing, but also a dining area with smaller tables if you'd prefer a bit of alone time. There's also an outdoor area to chill. Despite staying in a 12 person room, the room was clean, spacious and well lit, with each bed serviced by a handy outlet containing an AC outlet, USB charging ports, a bed light, etc. Locker cages are available under the bed (BYO padlock, or hire from reception). I think bookings made through booking.com may also include a towel (try ask reception but please don't quote me on it x). This is oddly specific but is much appreciated by me - but the shower water pressure is amazing and the hot water is incredible, and it made me feel semi-human again after two nights of going out. Location-wise, it's close to a metro station and just a few stops from Alexanderplatz. There's also a tram a few minutes' walk away that takes you into town. A Lidl is also two minutes' walk down the road. Food-wise, there's also a few options nearby including a good burger restaurant, Indian restaurant, falafel restaurant, kebabs, pizza joint, etc.

I had the pleasure of staying here for a week in a private room with a friend of mine on a first trip to Berlin and I thought the facilities were better than you could hope for the price and the treatment by staff was exceptional. Good rooms with plenty of space and comfy beds and good facilities. I'd like to thank specifically Abel, Denise and Frida for their exceptional customer service and all around great vibes, will happily return to coffee inn whenever my bank account allows

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
