The staff and the social aspect of the hostel makes it great for any solo traveller! They have events happening every day and make it easy to socialize and meet people. Location is great where it’s near the station and a very nice back terrace where you can relax or chat with other travellers.

The rooms need air conditioning since it gets veryyyyyy hot. It felt like a sauna at times which is uncomfortable whether you’re trying to sleep or just sit around. As well, a curtain for the beds for privacy would be nice! The hostel is missing privacy curtains for the bed and air conditioning, that would the hostel that much better.

Every member of the staff is very nice and welcoming. They even provided free dinner on certain days, delicious aswell. The common areas are perfect to meet new people, especially for me as a solo-traveler, it couldn’t get any better than that. Every night, you have the opportunity to join nice people in going out, partying, bars. The location is something that even locals are jealous about. The room was always clean and tidy. Bed way more comfortable than usual hostel beds. Overall, one of the best hostels I’ve ever been to and the best one in Berlin.

Ain’t lying, but nothing

Dorm rooms: good size, 4 beds is just right, reduces the risk of noisy/inconsiderate roommates. Privacy boards around the head of the bed, plug socket and little shelf above. Very useful cases under the bed to store luggage (prevents the room from becoming messy). Bathroom: enough showers, I never had to wait. Clean bathrooms. Good water pressure. Location: good location close to transport and the city centre. Many small café around.

Hostel guests being noisy outside at night (not all night long, but until around midnight). Foam mattresses are not the most comfortable and too soft, but honestly it was good enough.

Came to EastSeven cause of the wonderful reviews about the warm friendly atmosphere and it's true! I was pretty anxious travelling alone cause my friends were busy, but honestly found it so welcoming and easy to make new friends there. Many of the staff there (it's largely friendly Aussies) are volunteers helping out, so you know they're genuinely passionate about the hostel, and they run social events like family dinners, board games, drinks, etc every night to help you meet each other before going out together! The vibe also depends on who else is there at the time of your stay, but I was pretty lucky that everyone was awesome there when I stayed. There are several large social spaces including a kitchen and common room to hang with others if that's your thing, but also a dining area with smaller tables if you'd prefer a bit of alone time. There's also an outdoor area to chill. Despite staying in a 12 person room, the room was clean, spacious and well lit, with each bed serviced by a handy outlet containing an AC outlet, USB charging ports, a bed light, etc. Locker cages are available under the bed (BYO padlock, or hire from reception). I think bookings made through booking.com may also include a towel (try ask reception but please don't quote me on it x). This is oddly specific but is much appreciated by me - but the shower water pressure is amazing and the hot water is incredible, and it made me feel semi-human again after two nights of going out. Location-wise, it's close to a metro station and just a few stops from Alexanderplatz. There's also a tram a few minutes' walk away that takes you into town. A Lidl is also two minutes' walk down the road. Food-wise, there's also a few options nearby including a good burger restaurant, Indian restaurant, falafel restaurant, kebabs, pizza joint, etc.

Context of my stay: I'm a solo traveler and I spent 5 nights at EastSeven in a 4 girls-only bedroom (2 bunk beds). I had such a great time there! The place is very clean, the staff is nice and thoughtful, and the hostel has everything you need (kitchen, dining room, great terrace to enjoy sunny days, a living room, clean bathrooms...). It's situated in a perfect location: a 20-minute walk from the main tourist attractions, but in a very peaceful yet lively neighborhood with lots of great restaurants, bars, and supermarkets around. I also felt the place was perfect for both those who want to have fun/meet people—you can join the daily events organized by the staff—and those who prefer calm environments: you can enjoy peaceful times during the day, and the hostel has a nighttime policy to respect everyone's sleep, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend EastSeven and I would love to come back for my next trip to Berlin!

Everything was great! But maybe the bunk beds could benefit from some small storage space, like a net or a shelf on the side, because the existing shelf is right above your head, which can be kinda dangerous. If you put something on them, it might fall on your face during the night—speaking from experience here ^^'.

The hostel was fantastic. I enjoyed everything, from communication through Booking to my departure. They responded to me very quickly. Upon arrival, it felt like they were expecting me. The staff is very cool and friendly, which helped ease any formal tension. I stayed in a room with three other people. The room was clean, minimalistic, and spacious. There is a standard USB socket and an iPhone socket right above each bed. The mattress was on the firmer side, which personally suited me. The shared showers and toilets were clean, and I never encountered a queue for the shower. The hostel offers many evening activities. As an introvert, I gradually got involved in the hostel community over a short period. I met various wonderful people. The location is very convenient; even if you're not familiar with the city's transportation system, you can easily walk to the hostel in 30 minutes, where they will explain and guide you without any issues.

Perhaps the only drawback was the absence of power outlets near the bed. I had to charge my computer either in another part of the room or go downstairs with my belongings.

I booked a 4-bed bedroom, I was a bit unsure if it would be a good choice as I was a solo traveler and was on business and pleasure at the same time and would need to get a proper sleep. I am happy to say that i can guarantee that noise policy after 10 pm is very well respected in the hostel ans even the lights in the room remained off (although this depends on your roommates). The cleanliness of the hostel also impressed me, one of the cleanest I've ever been to, both the bathrooms and rooms, very clean, the mattress was also of good quality. The staff is very helpful and friendly, for those who want to meet new people they organize everynight a moment of interaction between guests and there is also free coffee and milk in the mornings. Although I didn't use the kitchen, everything seemed very clean and organized. The location is also extremely convenient, close to the metro station (max 5 min walking) and to many tourist attractions. I recommend it to all travelers.

Nothing…I liked it all.

The area, in which the hostel is located, may not seem central on the surface, but just take the underground and you are at Alexanderpatz in five minutes. It is very aesthetically pleasing, being an area where pre-war Berlin has been mostly preserved. The first thing that strikes you on entering the hostel is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, always ready to help you with anything. The cleanliness is impeccable and the beds very comfortable. The common areas are also very clean and welcoming, with lots of entertainment for guests. The breakfast is simple but good. All in all, great experience. Highly recommended!

Nothing!

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

I loved the hostel, I truly have nothing I didn’t like about the property.

This was my first stay in a hostel so cannot compare. The staff was great and helpful (told me about the next bike app - super easy way to move around Berlin!!). The room was clean and quiet (most of the nights). Location was perfect for me! Nice cafe just on the corner of the main street. And amazing restaurant too just next to the coffee shop. Close to Central Berlin.

Not the fault of the hostel, but after a sleepless last night (one of the women came in around 1am when I had just fallen asleep, I could not fall asleep after that), I realised that the hostels are not for me.
