This is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! A wide bed with a comfortable mattress and pillow, a bright and spacious 8-bed room, and a towel provided free of charge. Clean toilets and showers with no queues, a super-comfortable kitchen with everything you need — even a dishwasher. There’s also a laundry area where you can wash and dry your clothes. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating — they even let me check in early at no extra cost. I was working during my trip and really appreciated the chance to work at a separate desk on the second floor, in almost complete silence, which made it easy to hold meetings comfortably. The bus stop to the airport is right outside the hostel’s door, and there are plenty of bars and shops just a short walk away — absolute delight!

I was afraid at first cause the bad reviews and the elevator not working. Glad to say everything was amazing! Stayed for 9 days, staff was great, location is amazing and the rooms and bathrooms clean and comfy. The only thing that bummed me out a bit was the kitchen that they left notice will be closed at 08/15 permanently cause of some troubled guests which was fine by me. But then they closed it couple of weeks earlier without notice. Other than that, again, was a - m - a - z - i - n - g - !

The hostel has a room with an iron and ironing board, which was great for me as I need it. It was the first time trying the capsule thing and it was better than expected. I felt like the space was big enough for me. Very clean, the lockers were great, clean and big bathrooms.

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
