I had a really good experience staying here. What stood out the most was how welcoming and helpful everyone was, the staff made the whole stay feel easy and comfortable from the start. The hostel itself has a great atmosphere, with a nice mix of being relaxed and social. It was easy to feel at home, and everything was looked after really well, which I appreciated a lot. Another big plus is how convenient the area is, especially if you want to explore the city without stress. Overall, this place left a very good impression on me, and I’d happily stay here again.

The staff were so kind to us that I was amazed. There were three of us, and we had booked a dormitory room. We arrived well in advance of check-in and they welcomed us without any problems. In fact, they told us that they could offer us a private room as there were no bookings for that evening. They gave us an impeccable tour of the facility. The atmosphere inside was peaceful and friendly, with several young people chatting respectfully to each other in the common areas. There is also an outdoor garden where you can relax and a chill room where you can play games or watch Netflix. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we would like to return.

Felt like being at home!

The room was very clean upon arrival and great view, paid very little for a very good quality room and toilet facilities were always clean too, nothing was broken or not working. Good system for checking in and out and lovely additional facilities like the kitchen and living room. Events organised for guests to take part in every night (trivia and drinking games). All front desk staff are very approachable and friendly.

Friendly and easy access

How international and easy to communicate with the people was.

I was there in December and the heater in the middle of the night I think stopped working because it got quite cold but in the morning it started working again.

The people at the hostel were really friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I stepped through the door. They also organise social events at the hostel, so you can get to know people easily. You get free breakfast with coffee in the morning (nothing special, but it’s a nice addition, especially considering how cheap the stay is). You can ask anything you want, from public transport to things to do, and they have a WhatsApp groupchat you can join in which they share tips. I feel like it attracts mainly young people (early 20s), so you can expect your roommates to come in during the night. They all did so very respectfully, but if you’re a light sleeper and you’re going for a sightseeing > partying trip, maybe take some earplugs. Overall, I had an amazing stay and met some great new people, which is always an added +. :)

Super friendly staff and very good location (not touristic, but lively)

The rooms and the toilets were super clean. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The hostel's whatsapp group was extremely helpful; sending daily recommendations, organizing social events, announcing lost & found things. I really enjoyed staying there ands recommend this hostel to any solo & group travelers.

The shower cabins in my floor had clear glass windows, if anyone wants a bit more privacy, it might be an issue.

Great hostel for solo female travellers

The accommodation was really pleasant, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I greatly enjoyed having all-girl rooms and bathrooms. There is a nice kitchen and a really nice backyard. There is almost an entire community in the hostel, since people and staff are really nice, and the general vibe was very pleasant. The value for money is insane. Just make sure to bring (or buy) your own padlock for your stuff.

A clean, spacious, and well-run hostel that offers great value and a very comfortable atmosphere.

The hostel was very clean and the facilities were clearly well maintained. I especially appreciated the large common spaces, which made it easy to relax without feeling crowded. The free morning coffee with oats was a thoughtful touch and a great way to start the day. Overall, the place felt organized, comfortable, and welcoming.

Honestly, nothing stood out as a negative. Everything was well organized and met my expectations, making the stay smooth and hassle-free.

fond memory from my stay at this Berlin hostel: the staff gives you a warm welcome and shows you around the common areas of the property, anticipating any questions you might have. It was winter, so there were few guests, but they even escorted you to your room. They take a genuine interest in your stay and are happy to give you tips for sightseeing. The entire staff ensures that the place is kept clean, which is greatly appreciated.

The hostel is very clean and well maintained, and it’s also a great place to socialize and meet new people to hang out with. The location is perfect, surrounded by supermarkets, bars, cafés, and restaurants, so everything you need is just a few steps away.

Worth money and cozy place

Location is great, 2min walk to the metro station. Bed is clean and comfy and bathroom is nearby. Free water and free coffee, there are lots of facilities.

The sink could be equipped with hand dryer or paper towels to dry hands and sometimes the sink / mirror area can get crowded when girls are there to do the make-ups.

Great place to stay with everything you need...

Reasonably close to Berlin HBF (takes 20 minutes on the 12 tram from the hbf) and close to a Lidl grocery store (5-10 minutes on foot). What stands out the most at this hostel are the very friendly staff/volunteers who organize different events for the hostel guests which definitely was a plus in being able to socialize with many different people at the hostel and to experience group activities. Hot running water and private shower room at either end of the hallways on each floor. Hair dryers at each bathroom was honestly so appreciated. The bunk beds were very comfortable and much sturdier than some other ones I've previously experienced. Kitchen area with a fridge available for use. Luggage storage room to hold your luggage after checking out was super great.

The shower and bathrooms could be cleaner. Towels are not free and only available for rent for 2 euros. I wish there were some additional chairs in the room for sitting in.

Comfy, clean, and friendly

It was clean, the mattress was comfortable and the bedding seemed new. No bed bugs. There are chargers next to the bed on a little shelf. Besides people leaving in the morning, it was not noisy. I stayed in the female-room. The staff were persistently friendly, which was nice and made the stay more human. It was colourful and not depressing, nor dirty, like some hostels. The price was great, I would return there. They also had a water fountain and free tea/coffee. WIFI works.

The one annoying thing is that the bathrooms have no paper towel, nor a hand dryer, I did expect that I needed to bring a hand towel.

Made my first visit to Berlin even better!

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!
