Its really cozy, well organized and you feel like home. There's also suggestions to go spend evenings together at some place everyday and it really brings people together. The staff is also most amazing out of all stays I've ever had (no exaggeration)

This hostel exceeded my expectations in every way!Everything was clean and in perfect condition, which made my stay in Berlin so much easier and more enjoyable. The roommates were all respectful, qualified, and polite. There was always hot water in the bathroom, a space to hang clothes, and the elevator worked perfectly every day. Simply, it’s an excellent hostel — I highly recommend it!

The accommodation offers free bikes - very basic ones, but I find it really useful to commute to central Berlin (around 15mins). The staff is lovely and the roommates I've met are nice too. Will recommend this place to others!

    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
