EastSeven Berlin Hostel, hotel in Berlin

Come and stay in your home away from home in BERLIN! We are a chill and social hostel. We keep it like family here. We do activities and love to connect with other travellers.

Really lovely hostel next to Senenfelderplatz U-bahn. Easily accessible from central Berlin. Lots of pubs, bars and restaurants nearby. Comfortable and well equipped communal areas. Very friendly guests, mainly in their 20s and 30s. I'm a solo traveller in my 60s but everyone was very welcoming and no one made me feel out of place. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. I would stay here again without hesitation. Highly recommended 😁

Industriepalast Berlin, hotel in Berlin

A 2-minute walk from the East Side Gallery and a 5-minute walk from the Watergate nightclub, this trendy hostel in Berlin’s Friedrichshain district has a 24-hour reception and great transport...

I had the single room. It was quite spacious, clean and quiet. Very basic and cheap, but it cost very little. Bed was ok. Overall I would appreciate everything much more if it wasn’t for the unfriendly, uninspired guy at the front desk…

Set in an elegant 19th-century building, this hostel in Berlin's colourful Kreuzberg district offers free WiFi, great transport links, and welcome packs with a map of the city.

The place was pretty close to the U-Bahn station and was very, very tidy and clean. Beds in the dormroom were pretty comfortable with plenty of space for my belongings. The staff was super friendly as well.

Three Little Pigs Hostel - Your Berlin Castle, hotel in Berlin

Set within a former 19th-century convent, this hostel is a 10-minute walk from Checkpoint Charlie and the striking Potsdamer Platz square. Free Wi-Fi is offered.

Very clean and comfortable, there were lockers in the bedrooms and also space to store your luggage in reception if you arrived early. Staff were very friendly and happy to help with recommendations and general advice. Was very close to the centre with great transport links - walkable to Checkpoint Charlie, Brandenberg Gate and Tiergarden. Also had supermarkets and bakeries/restaurants nearby so perfect for food. No complaints!

Kiez Hostel Berlin, hotel in Berlin

Ideally suited for partygoers, this hostel is just a 3-minute walk from 2 of Berlin's most famous clubs, Berghain and Watergate. Kiez Hostel Berlin offers free WiFi in all areas.

Great location in vibrant Friedrichschain, very close to the S+U Bahn station to easily get anywhere in the city. If you want to visit Berghain or clubs in the R.A.W area, then you will be super near when staying in this hostel :) The bed was comfortable and the pillow and blanket super fluffy. There was a nice common area but not much socializing happening during my stay.

    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

    The hostel was super cheap and very clean throughout thanks to the cleaning lady who was lovely. The beds were SO comfy and we slept really well. Considering we had a room next to the street with big windows, we really couldn't hear much noise and I didn't disrupt our sleep at all. The location was amazing, stones throw away from Meringdamm station and right in the heart of kruezburg. The rooms were really big and spacious. Was perfect for a few nights away and felt very safe.
