Sunflower Hostel

Really good hostel and reasonable prices. Visited a while ago now but the stay was fine. Helpful staff and a nice location for exploring Berlin.

Pros: Clean and large room (double privet) Location convenient to transportation and many stores/restaurants. Staff I interacted with was friendly. Kitchen area with large table, pots/pans and clean. Security for the hostel was good, to get to the rooms you have to show a card and be buzzed in. After this there are doors with a code you need to enter to get to the correct area of your room. Neutral: Some bathrooms/showers are larger than others so check out a few to find your favorite. Cons: Very loud at night, not sure if it was from the kitchen right next to my room or the court yard where people from the bar go out to smoke, makes it very hard and frustrating to sleep. Cleaning comes into the room daily (I did not know this) and never re-locks the door! I stayed 2 nights and found this happened each time, was not happy they went in the room in the first place without my knowledge. Construction was going on outside and started daily about 6-7 am making it really hard to sleep. Over all the place served its purpose for my few days stay after another place canceled my reservation. However, I would not stay here again due to the noise and cleaning coming in /not locking doors.

The definition of cheap and cheerful! Stayed in a 4 bed room with 2 bunk beds and an en suite, nothing special but the beds were comfy and sheets clean. The bar is cheap, the staff are friendly and the common area is always sociable and a great place to meet people to explore the city/nightlife with or just chill out and play some cards

The Sunflower hostel is in a great location close to a whole bunch of great bars & clubs. The staff are lovely except for one guy (blonde tall) which I can tell is well fed up, doesn’t mean to be horrible but definitely shouldn’t be working there anymore for his own well being and for the reputation of the hostel. I booked the cheapest room I could get because I was travelling with very little money and was very happy with the large spacious rooms with very comfortable mattresses but unfortunately found out that the communal kitchen was not available to anyone on my floor because we hadn’t paid extra for one of the nicer rooms. I feel it’s not necessary to separate the rich from the poor in this sense and would have been a lot happier with being able to save my money and cook my own meals. All in all I enjoyed my stay! Thankyou Sunflower Hostel x

I absolutely loved staying in this hostel! There is a cafe and bar making it easy to meet other travelers. I arrived as a solo traveler and have made friends with many other people staying in this hostel. The workers were helpful and the place was clean. The location is close to cool places and a subway stop.

I would suggest you try the Sunflower Hostel. Please book them directly using their own website so you don't have to pay an extra commission fee.
If you're into having a great stay at an affirfable price, it's certainly the place to go and for your to have an amazing time. It's in the heart of city center and close to almost everything you need (shops, train stations, tram, etc..). Staff is very friendly and helpful. They provide everything that you might need with a smile.

L'endroit est très sympa, propre, bien situé. Il y a un bon petit-déjeuner (quoique peut-être un peu cher).
Le sunflower est ouvert 24h sur 24 et vous pouvez y prendre une bière.
Pas toujours super sympa à l'accueil mais le boulot doit pas être facile ! Force à eux !

We arrived to hotel at 9 pm. Receptionist guy wasn’t happy or he was just a hippie. They ask me do you need towels? Wtf absolutely we need towels. They gave us bedsheets for 10 Euro deposit and we made our beds. There are no service. There were a lot of noise and smells like garlic or indian Restaurant.

Gerne wieder! Ein wirklich schönes Hostel mit vielen freundlichen Mitarbeiter_inne. Gefallen hat mit insbesondere die Gestaltung des Eingangsbereichs und die Möglichkeit dort unkompliziert zu Frühstücken.

Très facilement accessible depuis l'aéroport de Schönefeld, c'est une auberge de jeunesse originale pour ce qui est de la déco et de l'ambiance (bar ouvert presque tout le temps, réception ouverte 24h/24) dans un quartier branché mais resté sympa, toute proche du fameux RAW et sa super Skatehalle, personnel super gentil et attentif, , j'y ai séjourné une semaine avec mes deux ados, je recommande!

Love this place so much! Staff are amazing, location is perfect for Berlin party scene, all round good vibes. Probably best avoided if you're boring or part of a massive school group, otherwise highly recommend!!

Close to everything, easy to find from airport and return, cafes, Eastside Gallery, nightlife. There's an Aldi down the road for cheap easy meals and lunches. Fresh linen with those huge flat double pillows. So if you like a bigger firmer pillow you can fold them in half.

Super Hostel, immer wieder aufs Neue toll dort. Super Lage, nettes Personal, 24H-Bar die sich bestens für den Absacker nach der Party eignet, individuell gestaltete Zimmer und super sauber, internationales Publikum. Unser Stammhostel in Berlin.

Hostlet ligger relativt centralt, 5 minuter till tunnelbanestationen. Mysig inredning och väldigt social miljö med bland annat bar för rimliga priser! Sovrummen och badrummen var helt ok fräscha, sängarna gnisslade dock lite. Rekommenderar verkligen detta hostel!

Key system is a bit difficult, and more than one they forgot to give me the key when I had to take it or I forgot to ask and had to go back. They were doing repairs and just general works and it was very noisy. As the reception was a bar, it was usually busy and it took time to get through to the room, as they had to check your room etc. But it was well connected, close to restaurants and a supermarket and overall felt safe enough.

Good price, good customer service. A little bit loud at night, couldn't really fall asleep, so take your earplugs with you. Great location, clean room, towels. Can't really complain. Highly recommend.

Great experience: fiendly staff, nice decoration in the reception / bar, great athmospere especially at the happy hour, clean rooms, clean bathrooms (just the shower did not drain, well). And close to all the places where to go for a night out / dance / party after happy hour.

This was one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. My friends and I were able to get to places using the trains nearby and happy hour at the hostel was amazing. The staff was so kind and helpful. To that beautiful woman with the scale tattoo, my friends and I loved you.

Ein alternatives, preiswertes Hostel das fünf Gehminuten vom Clubviertel Friedrichshain entfernt ist. Abends ist die Bar vor und hinter dem Theken mit super freundlichen Menschen gefüllt. Sehr empfehlenswert für Backpacker und junge Leute:)

Friendly staff, not good location and €9 limit on card but good sleep and spacious rooms. Only stayed one night but enjoyed my stay. The staff were a highlight for sure. The window was broken and there was no air conditioning so was very hot.

Such an amazing location and feel to the place, would highly recommend for solo or group travellers, easy to make friends in hostel bar and loads of local places to go out. Easy to get to central Berlin on the tram. Can’t recommend this place enough!!

Very decent location. I stayed in and off for over a week. The price varied from 12 euro to 32 euro for the Saturday on Berlin pride and fluctuates daily. I was easily able to rebook rooms over the week directly, except on the last day today when one of the staff got angry and actually kicked me from the reception/bar area for "bad vibes". ( She couldn't find my details and got frustrated with the system). It was quite strange. Otherwise the staff were awesome people, and are truely what make a hostel feel like a home. The only other negative was bookings are at 4pm, requiring many people to wonder around the hot weather with no where to go but wait sometimes. I will definitely come again, but avoid that one staff lady who was a imaginary victim. ????
