Our stay at Sunflower Hostel in Berlin was mixed. The location is one of its main strengths, as it’s close to the city’s clubs, attractions, and has easy access to trams and train stations. There are plenty of affordable food options nearby, which made eating out convenient. However, while the location was practical, the surrounding neighborhood sometimes felt unsafe due to visible anti-social behavior, which made me uncomfortable to go out at night by myself to grab food etc. The hostel itself had a lively, social atmosphere, particularly in the common areas and outdoor spaces. Cheap drinks at the bar also made it easy to meet other travelers, though the vibe often felt more shaped by the guests than by the staff. Staff interactions were inconsistent, some were friendly and helpful, while others seemed unhappy. There was a few social activities through the hostel but nothing each night to meet people. The four-person pod room we stayed in came with several downsides. Wi-Fi did not reach our room at the end of the corridor, and the pod itself was hot, forcing us to keep the door open at night. One cleaner also behaved unprofessionally, slamming doors and swearing while stripping beds, which made the stay feel uncomfortable. Bathrooms: there weren’t enough for the number of guests, they weren’t always clean, and some flooded due to poor design or maintenance. Other inconveniences included a late 4 p.m. check-in, bar closures during staff changeovers during a busy evening, expensive laundry facilities with limited machines, and steep charges for lockers. Card payments at the bar were only accepted over €15. Overall, Sunflower Hostel offers a good base for those wanting to be close to nightlife and enjoy a social environment.
