Sunflower Hostel

Location is good but hostel is dirty and has an unsettling vibe. I have stayed in hostels all over the world and this is the first time I have ever seriously considered leaving a hostel but since my stay was during summer travel season there were not other options. The shower in my room was just a shower had and drain on the floor with a rusty squeegee mop to clean up the water. Overpriced and weird vibes. The pics online look like a cute boho vibe, but irl it feels like you are literally sleeping in the back of a bar. 2 nights here, I could only brave the shower once.

This hostel is close to many clubs so that’s good, but the shower is just a shower head and a drain on the floor. You have to literally use a squeegee mop. Check in isn’t until 4pm which is very late in my opinion. The staff is fine and the other guests were nice as well but it’s more of a party hostel. I would not recommend this place. I felt it was overpriced for what you get basically $85 for 2 week nights.

I met the love of my life here!! Definitely recommend, people are so cool and staff is crazy good for the most part

Good location to stay in, easy access to transport and decent restaurants nearby. Facilities were good overall, hostel clean, and atmosphere fantastic if you’re looking for a more social/party hostel in Berlin.

was great atmosphere as a solo traveller, very very social. Cheap beer as well so made drinking at the hostel really fun!!

Loved this hostel so many lovely people, rlly social and fun, close to clubs, metro and shopping. Would definitely come here again

I LOVE SUNFLOWER HOSTEL ???? Such an amazing atmosphere for social travellers, the staff set the tone with how friendly they are. I stayed as a solo female traveller in a 4 bed mixed dorm and felt completely safe the whole time. The location is amazing!! After staying in a few other locations in Berlin this is by far my favourite district, it’s very close to amazing bars, restaurants, cafes and clubs. I’m coming back in two weeks to stay here again!!!

Me encantó este hostel. Muy buen ambiente

My review is positive.

great hostel..

Super service!

If you're looking to meet friendly people from all over the world and go to explore the city together, that's a great place to start. The hostel is a few minutes' walk from some of the best techno clubs in the world, and there's a great night life overall. The stuff was very kind as well. No complaints.

Overall good experience, good atmosphere, and good room (double room). A little noisy, sheets quite holey, and shared bathrooms not clean

Don't stay here if you need a room with airflow. Wasn't even hot outside but the room was so hot I couldn't sleep and has to leave early

Very nice and affordable hostel. Nice comfortable beds and clean toilets. Very affordable breakfast ???? option ( 6£€ ). The only negative thing is that the kitchen was missing plates.

A nice hostel for socializing with bar, the beds are comfortable but no curtains for more privacy, the toilets were almost always dirty and the showers as well.

I loved this place. Very social vibe, great atmosphere, and there was an Aldi very close:)

Had such a blast here. The common areas and facilities were really good, the people were amazing and a very friendly staff that always greet me with a smile. I am definetly coming back here:)

Great! Very social. Would recommend. Best hostel I’ve stayed at in Europe.

Ostello accogliente, con molti giovani, un po' affollata e rumorosa l area comune, senza cucina, buona posizione non molto distante dal centro, stazione metro e treni vicine, vicino al muro di Berlino, pulito, camere abbastanza spaziose, disponibile colazione a pagamento. In generale esperienza ok!

I loved the vibe of the place, the staff is very friendly and available 24h/7. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and the breakfast deal is very convenient! It is well connected with the city center with the public transport

Loved my stay at Sunflower Hostel. The hostel was very social and easy to talk to people. The location was also fantastic only a 10 minute walkfrom the Berlin wall and 5 minutes from the S-Bahn and U-Bahn. I did wish that there was a kitchen or at least a shared fridge though. Also it would be better if the laundry machines were separate to the bar and social area as makes it awkward to do it in the evenings when everyone is partying. Overall loved my stay here, even extended it by one night!

If coming to Berlin for Berlins undisputed world class atmosphere here is the place to come!

The best! Home away from home. Clean, comfortable, nice, good people, good staff, fun, good location! In Friedrichshain, nice area of restaurants and shopping. Close to train station and everything needed.

The only complaint was the WiFi did not reach the room and was spotty everywhere except the lobby. Location was good with lots of bars and restaurants around, about a 5-10 minute walk from the subway station. Showers and bathrooms were nice and big.

Kein Schlaf möglich bei 3 quietschenden Eisen Stickbetten, die bei jeder kleinsten Bewegung gequietscht und geknarzt haben. Zimmer und Bad waren dreckig, die Bettwäsche fleckig, die Matratzen durchgelegen. Die Bettwäsche wurde beim Einchecken vom Personal in eine Getränkepfütze auf dem Tresen gelegt. Die Angestellten wirkten bekifft und waren extrem langsam und teilweise unfreundlich.

Clean and spacious rooms. Toilets and showers were in good condition as well.

The Sunflower Hostel Berlin – BEDBUGS, hidden fees, lies, and a nightmare for travellers If you’re considering staying at The Sunflower Hostel Berlin, think twice – or better yet, don’t. This place is infamous for bedbugs, dishonesty, and hidden charges. I stayed at The Sunflower Hostel Berlin in a double room and ended up bitten all over by bedbugs (and I’m not the first – just search: The Sunflower Hostel Berlin bedbugs, and you’ll see dozens of similar reviews). When I reported it, the staff at The Sunflower Hostel Berlin put on a fake inspection and lied straight to my face, blaming mosquitoes ! They refused to change my mattress, my room, or offer a refund. The truth? My GP confirmed the bites were clearly from bedbugs, not mosquitoes. Because of The Sunflower Hostel Berlin, I had to spend extra money on disinfecting my luggage, washing everything at 60°C, and lived with the anxiety of possibly bringing bedbugs into my home. It ruined my trip and cost me weeks of stress. And let’s not forget the hidden charges: deposit for bed linen, fees for storing luggage, overpriced breakfast that’s barely edible. ???? The Sunflower Hostel Berlin – where you risk bringing bedbugs home and overpaying for the privilege. ???? Bedbugs Berlin? The Sunflower Hostel is the perfect place to find them. ???? Avoid The Sunflower Hostel Berlin bedbugs nightmare. Choose a clean, honest hostel instead!

The best bit about this hostel is the location! There’s so much going on- bars, clubs, restaurants, cool shops etc. Such a cool area of Berlin that we didn’t even feel the need to visit other areas that much :) The hostel is very secure (keycards needed for all the doors). Very chill vibe overall and we had an easy stay.

Loved the energy in this hostel, very social. However the rooms weren’t very clean. Underneath our bunks were dirty socks from previous people, lots of dirt, dust and rubbish. The cleaners were very loud when cleaning the rooms while we were sleeping even though they didn’t actually do any cleaning, just emptied the bin. Apart from that I would recommend staying here as the location is perfect and it felt very safe and social.

Hostel convivial situé dans un super quartier de Berlin. Bon rapport qualité prix, les chambres sont spacieuses et les salles de bain sont propres. Il y a un bar en bas ce qui fait qu’il y a souvent de l’ambiance sur la terrasse et il est facile de rencontrer des gens (idéal si l’on voyage seul). Point négatif : le personnel n’est pas aimable et peu serviable.

the lockers in our room couldn't lock and there was no locks on the showers. very limited saftey precautions. Anything needed is extra (eg. luggage holding), there is no kitchen and the sad breakfasbreakfast they offer is a ridiculous price. The minimum card payment on the bar is 15€ to make u pay more. The whole thing is just trying to get as much money frfrom you while putting in minimum effort.

I really love this place and is my 'go to' place when I visit Berlin!

I love coming back to Sunflower, whenever I come back to Berlin! One of the best areas of Berlin and with a nice staff and cool guests!

I’ll be back xx

Great location, within walking minutes to Berghain. Managed to get in and want to take a break before another dancing sesh? Just walk to your room, have a quick nap and grab a bite. Didn`t get in the first time, go have a beer at the hostel bar and try again in a few. Friendly and helpful staff and 24hrs bar|reception. The room`s were ok, they lacked more power sockets and the bunkbeds were quite squeaky. Moreover, you always felt like you would trip the whole bed when climbing it to the top

The hostel has everything you need and was nice and clean. Very social as well. My only critique is that the beds were very very creaky so getting into bed late at night was always stressful so you didn’t wake anyone up.

Sehr netter Empfang, zentral und doch relativ ruhig gelegen. Das Besteigen der Doppelbetten fühlt sich allerdings etwas wackelig an. Aber alles in allem ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

The culture here is friendly, lively, comfortable, and affordable! My dad and I stayed here and the staff gave excellent recommendations on places to visit and eat based on our interests (music, art, history, etc). No need for a tour guide—they know what's worth your time and budget if you want to live like a local and avoid tourist traps. Their four-bed room has a spacious bathroom and locker storage with paid washers and dryers in the lobby. The lobby bar is well stocked and easy to relax in if you want a night out, but nothing too wild or far from your room. Breakfast was authentic, inexpensive, and delicious. The location is safe and easy walking distance to the U-Bahn, shops, and restaurants, cafes. When I visit Berlin, this is where I'm staying!

Let me start by saying the price is very affordable, so I wasn’t expecting much. However, I couldn’t wait to check out. The name of the hostel is misleading. It’s cold, dark, and dingy. They also charge 50 cents for tea and it doesn’t even fill your cup. Some staff are nice, while others, unprofessional. If you are into the goth scene, then this place is for you.

The room and bathroom were not cleaned during the 3 nights we were there. When we switched bunks after 2 ladies left, we were confronted rudely by a front desk lady. We were placed on the 4th floor with only stairs to get up all our travel luggage, which was not clear during registration.

Lieu: bien localisé avec terrasse devant où prendre un verre jusqu'à 22h. Equipe: Personnel de l'auberge accueillant et serviable. Buanderie: présence de machine à laver non utilisée. Cuisine: propre+fonctionnelle Sanitaire: assez propre avec douche spacieuse et agréable. Chambre: Manque de luminosité des chambres et lit superposés qui grincent grandement, déconseillé pour personne à sommeil léger. Local à vélo: possibilité de déposer les vélos dans la cour, pas de point d'attache fixe.

Verkehrsgünstig im Szeneviertel

The staff are simply amazing! They are the friendliest people you’ll ever meet! The hostel is pretty social, towels are provided for free (with deposit). For this price you cannot go wrong with this hostel!

Hostel bom e barato, tem café da manhã por €6. Unica coisa que não gostei é que é pago os lockers para deixar a mala, fora isso, tudo perfeito

Loved Berlin but this hostel didn’t do it for me. The bathrooms and showers were dirty and seemed too few for the number of beds on each floor. The staff were ok but there were no events and the atmosphere was lacking. It seems like a lot of people just use the hostel to sleep after going to Berghain. Very convenient to S Bahn however and food nearby is top notch.

Very good location, rooms were nice. We really enjoyed staying in the bar. Cheap and good breakfast. Staff was overall nice, except for one very arrogant and unfriendly receptionist/bartender. Also, the lockers in the rooms need very specific locks, so we couldn't lock our stuff:/// Would definetly go back tho

die Betten knarren sehr laut

Good rooms, good staff. However cleanliness in the showers / toilet could be improved. Floors a mess and showers where either closed or missing parts, like the shower head.

Good hostel for a short stay, everything matches the description.
