Clean and newly renovated hostel in a great location on a busy street. I’ve stayed in the two other minimal hostels in Neukölln and this is by far my favourite since they also provide a full kitchen. The children’s play area and step stool for children in the bathrooms was a nice touch. Would have loved it if I was travelling with kids.

The hostel was very clean and quiet. Staff was friendly and coffee was delicious. I found the location great as it wasn't in a busy touristy area yet we were able to explore the city easily from there.

The hostel is located 2 stops from the metro (10 minute walk). There is a Lidl supermarket five minutes away. The hostel has everything you need (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, shaving gel, hairdryer, iron). Hostess Nelly is very sociable and pleasant, tries to do everything to make the guests were in comfort, speaks German and Russian. In the kitchen there are always free snacks and some products (in the morning their choice is more, so you can have a full breakfast). The rooms are clean, plumbing and electrics are in excellent condition. There is a shelf on the first floor with various things you might need (souvenirs, hygiene products, etc) that you can grab for donation, it's very cool and convenient. There is a cosy courtyard and free bikes. Overall this is a great place for the price. Thank you Nelly!

Moved here after a bad experience at a different hostel, and was very relieved to find it clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and even let me check in early. A bit farther from most of the tourist attractions than some other hostels, but worth it for the quality!

Clean room, clean showers, very nice staff, extremely close to S-bahn, U-bahn and tram. There is choice of fast food offer next to the hostel and there is a shopping mall around the corner. Fair price for a very good breakfast! There is also fair price for private parking in the hostel backyard. All in all, very nice experience for a family of 6.

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

    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
