Loved staying here! Not only is the hostel located in a great neighborhood with a lot of businesses and metro stations nearby but the facilities and bedrooms are so clean and well stocked. However my favorite part of staying here were the staff and all the activities they coordinated: free vegan family dinners, drinking games, hangouts and more. Everyone was always willing to help and converse. We even ended up going clubbing with some of the hosts (which was great because I was traveling solo and felt safer that way). The people I met were all super nice and friendly, and their terrace and kitchen were my favorite places as you could just chill or cook yourself a full meal. Also, there are no restrictions regarding bringing your own food and drinks inside the hostel which is great.
It is not a party hostel but still you can get the best of both worlds: a relaxed and chill ambiance to sleep, hangout or do work, and a social place to meet new people and participate in different activities.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
My only "but"? The bunk beds do not have curtains so there is less privacy, but the bedrooms are very nice still, the beds are comfortable and have their individual light, plugs and shelf and on the bedroom we had a vanity mirror. Even though there was no bathroom unique for our bedroom, there were 4 bathrooms on our floor (mixed and girls only) and I never had to queue to use them, very clean as well.
It's a lot but that's all I have to say. Thank you very much to the East7 staff for such a warm welcome and making my stay in Berlin so much more fun and enjoyable!

Everything it was fine, the guys who worked here can understand if you want stay alone or if they can come to you to talk. The room was big and clean, the bathroom and the shower too! It’s really a good place for the groups and for the single person. You can do whatever you want, with limits but really a good place for be yourself. The positions is fine. You’re not in the middle of Berlin, in a quiet place with so many restaurants and bar, with market and tattoo artist too.

The hostel was in a very central location. The staff was very helpful from the beginning to the end, providing all the necessary information and answering all my questions with a friendly approach. The hostel was quite clean, including the bathroom, the kitchen, and the rooms. The rooms were really good in size - I stayed in a 4-bed female room. The outside garden has a really nice vibe and is good for socializing if you are travelling solo. They also offer some activities and complimentary items. Highly recommended.

This hostel is perfect for solo travelers. While it doesn’t offer luxury beds or air conditioning, it more than makes up for it with a fantastic sense of community. Everyone is friendly, and it’s incredibly easy to meet new people and make connections. From this perspective, it’s probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. They host cool events, and the staff not only work there but also hang out with guests, adding to the welcoming vibe. Great location

I’ve been to over 20 hostels, and this is my favorite one by far! I had a 10 bed female dorm and the room was spacious, the beds were superrrr comfy, and the shared bathroom was always tidy and clean. The staff were super friendly and talkative and hosted amazing events where you get to meet cool people and have new experiences. If i ever come back to Berlin, I am booking with EastSeven again!

EastSeven was one of the best hostels I stayed in on my solo travel trip so far - mostly solo travellers there which makes it super easy to mingle and they’ve got different events and activities every night which also helps! There was a familiar face at reception every time I passed and the terrace out the back is a great spot to chill out between the partying. Ultra clean, really well kept and homely

This is an amazing hostel! I stayed here on my first solo trip to Europe and found it really easy to socialize and make friends. I had so many cool conversations from people all over the world.
The vibe at EastSeven is great and the common areas are well designed. The hostel organizes events every night which are a great way to get everyone together. I highly recommend staying here!

East7 is sweet. And special. The staff are exquisite. Caring, kind, intelligent. Always working and welcoming. The place: Very clean, beds comfortable with own lights and electricity. Enough bathrooms. Fine water pressure and temperature. Also has clever, spacious, airy storage areas for belongings. Various common areas, including plenty of seating in garden area. Kitchen has it all. After staying four nights, I do not see one negative. Staff not to be forgotten, though I fear I will likely forget someone- Alana, Anna, Annie, Beau, Clara, John/Juan, Kayla, Marieka, Max, Sean. Other staff likely more than fine as well. Our paths simply did not cross or I forgot their names.

Best hostel I have ever stayed at. The staff there are so thoughtful and chill. They really enjoy socialising with you to the point where you think they’re just another guest at the hostel. The rooms were super clean and the facilities were in great condition. So easy to check in and out and the location was great. 100% recommend this hostel for anyone staying in Berlin!

This was my first time staying at a hostel and i think the bar is now set very very high. The staff was all super friendly and helpful. They had events organized each night at 8pm which was great for meeting other travelers. Backyard patio is super nice to relax in and all common areas are kept clean. Almost all the other travelers at the hostel were also super great (there were 4 Italian boys in our room that had no consideration for anyone else when they would come back at 3am shouting and turning all the lights on but that’s not something the hostel can easily control) . My only annoyance for the time I spent there was that it got pretty hot in the room one of the nights and the little fan in the window wasn’t helping too much with the ventilation. Overall would totally recommend staying there and if I am not very back in Berlin I will for sure be staying here again.

What a fabulous hostel! It was my first solo travelling experience and I was a bit nervous about it, but the hostel was so sociable and welcoming. I met people straight away and didn't feel alone at all. The staff and volunteers were lovely - super helpful and friendly. It was clean and well thought out. The garden area is a lovely place to chill and the common rooms and kitchen work very well. I had an amazing time and I highly recommend staying there!

May I just say this is the most organized and friendly hostel I’ve been too. They explain all the rooms and give you a proper tour at the start of your stay. Kitchen is fully accessible and organized for guests in a way that made me actually want to use it and cook (iykyk). The communal free dinners are an added bonus to meet people and socialize. So many organized events by staff I honestly wish I had stayed at this hostel longer. Location is right by the Underground so everything is easy to get to. Shout out to staff member Alanna she was so lovely

Such a relaxed, social atmosphere during our stay, and the staff contribute so much to the environment. Staff also made everything so convenient during our stay and were generally very helpful. There’s a lovely garden out back with some hammocks and even rain shelter, which is perfect for a few drinks on a night-in. Rooms were perfect too.
Would definitely stay at EastSeven again.

This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in by far. East Seven was so special, and I’ll be coming back every time I’m in Berlin! The staff is so kind and the community spaces are vibrant and well designed. The rooms are beautiful (I’ve stayed in three different types they were all very nice), and they have a great quiet location right next to plenty of transport and walking distance from more central areas in Berlin. It’s right next to several very nice well priced grocery stores, and cute cafes.
There are always very fun social events (literally every night), family dinner twice a week, and a group chat to connect with other people and go on adventures! I honestly could not have been happier with my stay here, and I cannot recommend it enough- East Seven will change your Berlin experience!!

Very good staff! At first I chose a non-refundable room but filled in the wrong date. The staff was very considerate to help me change it. When I checked in, I moved from a mixed dormitory to a female-only dormitory. When I left, I took the initiative to ask if I wanted to store my bag for free... It made me feel warm in my heart when traveling alone.????

Stayed in a pleasant 4 bed dorm which had large lockers under the beds. The hostel kitchen has everything you will need and a nice outdoor terrace where you can eat. Family meal on Tuesday was really tasty and there was plenty to go around. The staff were all friendly and ready to help.
The hostel is located in a lovely neighbourhood on the edge of the city centre which we found was in easy walking distance of most things.

I had a very good time at this hostel. They provide great amenities considering it is a hostel, and mostly volunteer run. I thought everything was well kept and every staff member I interact with was very nice and willing to help. My issue came with the culture of the hostel & how it affected me, as well as management. It promotes the party/club scene for the guests, which makes sense as it’s Berlin, and I didn’t have any problem with this. However, on my last night, a girl brought a man into our female only room, and proceeded to have sex with him while I was sleeping. What makes it worse is that all of us had to get up early, and it left me with 3 hours of sleep, and waking up 2 hours earlier than I intended. (I went to sleep later than I wanted because the girls in my room were preparing for the parties.) I told the front desk, and she made it clear this was unacceptable. Given the situation that I was leaving in 2 hours, I didn’t need a new room (and I was too awake to fall back asleep.) So I understand the usual resolution would not work. However the volunteer I spoke with said she would give the information to the manager, and that the manager would email me in the next few hours. It has been two days and I have yet to receive any communication trying to resolve this. I was robbed of a nights sleep before a very long day, and nothing was done to repair that. Even an email to apologize and say they can’t compensate me would be fine. But complete silence?? So overall I would say this hostel is great if you are a partier, but if you are someone who is okay being in proximity to it but would prefer if it didn’t affect your nights sleep or traumatize you, I can’t recommend it. Further, the fact that management has made no effort to resolve this should give you great pause. Obviously they cannot control all of their guests especially while intoxicated, but they can control how they react.
I am unable to reply to the owner’s response, so here it is: yes, I did say that you can’t control everyone in the building, and yes I did say that the timing meant the usual method of kicking them out or moving me wouldn’t work. So happy you agree with me. However, the point of my review was that you didn’t follow up with me! I was told I would be getting an email, and potentially compensation/reimbursement. Compensation was ideal but I knew the volunteer couldn’t promise me anything. But you didn’t contact me! Also for clarity, the event happened at 3:30am and I went down to the front desk maybe at 4:15am, I left the hostel 5:45am and I believe the guests in my room left 6-6:30am. So would you have really kicked out the guests at 3:30am if I complained immediately? I don’t think so, so your point is moot.

I really enjoyed this hostel. The room and bathrooms were very clean and the bed was actually comfortable. The staff had such a great vibe and I met loads of great people here. It was mostly solo travellers, so everyone really wanted to socialize. They organize activities every day and have a Whatsapp group chat where they post great tips (and which is very convenient for making plans with other people). Their garden is such a plus too. Would absolutely recommend!

best hostel I’ve stayed in!!!
If you’re looking for sociable hostel and to make friends this is the one for you :)
staff were super sweet and kind- always happy to help! Just all round a bunch of cool people. The hostel does an amazing job every day to put on events , went to a picnic event they had on a couple days ago and it was just pure jokes and fun- such a simple way to get to know everyone. They do cute dinners and other events too. Location wise it’s amazing , not far from the metro. I walked to the centre on my first day and the neighbourhood and the surrounding area is so pretty. It’s so well equipped , free breakfast every morning , kitchen has everything, terrace was so pretty , common room had it all from games to PlayStation etc Netflix and we would have the football on in the evening. Met a lot of cool people while travelling solo and if you’re having second thoughts or worried about not meeting people or making friends , this hostel will solve all your problems. I had the best 5 days ever. If I’m ever in Berlin again, I would never hesitate to book this hostel again.

Really good hostel if you're solo traveling. It's located in a nice area with lots of nice restaurant's and cafe's. Events are hosted every night to get to know the other travelers. The events were more chill during the weekdays and on Friday we played drinking games before heading out. We drank a lot. The vibe was great! Staff is also very friendly and helpful. Rooms and bathrooms are of good quality. The common areas are nice too with hammocks and sofas outside. Would strongly recommend if you're going solo to Berlin.

Me and my friends had a great stay at EastSeven. The rooms were clean and spacious. And the beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were also clean and comfortable to use. The only issue we had was the four of us being able to stay in the same room. When we made the booking we booked the four person room, but the hostel had many reservations at the time leading us to split into two different rooms.

Great social hostel, with very welcoming guests and staff whom encourage group activities. The room was spacious and bedding provided was comfortable. The curtains in the room however didn’t cover the length of the windows which meant that most the day and especially the very early morning was very bright (an eyemask provided an easy solution however). Never had to wait to utilize the shared bathrooms which were quite clean, however, the shower drains were often clogged which caused the water to pool on the shower floor which wasn’t pleasant. Overall, a great stay, will hopefully come back soon.

Really nice hostel! Everything was super clean, and there was a nice kitchen with oven, utensils, and even more to cook yourself. The people working there are really nice and always ready to help. There are daily activities for the people to get to know each other better. The only downside I can think of was that there were only four toilets/showers per floor, which seemed like very little for the amount of rooms there were..

The best hostel I have ever stayed in. I had planned to stay at East Seven for three nights but was having such a great time I extended for an extra night. As a solo traveller I made some great friends with the wonderful staff and fellow guests. I found it really easy to socialise in the common areas (the terrace in particular was great). There were other great perks like drinking games and a free group dinner. The location was really good too, really close to the underground.

Very pleasant stay at East Seven Hostel. It was my first time staying at a hostel, and I had a very positive experience. There are lots of nice common areas that are at your disposal, and there are always staff. My only critique is regarding the room itself. My room which was located on the third level, had no full length mirror at all. Neither in the bathroom. It would have been beneficial to have one. Also it would be nice to have a couch or a comfortable chair in the room.

The vibe at the hostel is amazing, with nightly events in the outdoor garden area which is so nice to hang out and eat in. There were full laundry and kitchen facilities and staff were super helpful and friendly. The location is very close to a train station so you can get to central points easily.

Okay so my experience here was fantastic! I already had extremely high expectations going in (based on the extremely positive reviews) and EastSeven still delivered. The staff is amazing. They were all super kind, helpful, fun, and probably the best aspect of this hostel. The one small issue I encountered was taken care of quickly and with complete understanding by the staff. The social events they hosted every night were really great for solo travelers (like me) to meet new people and socialize. The location was pretty convenient to use public transit, go to the grocery store, and sightsee nearby. A few tiny things to note are that there is no AC so depending on the temperature the windows may need to be opened, which will obviously make things a little louder. But they have ear plugs and although I'm a very light sleeper, I didn't really have any issues sleeping. Overall I would happily stay here at this hostel in the future and would recommend it to anyone at all, but particularly for the solo traveler who still wants a really cool, social atmosphere! Love EastSeven!

Absolutely amazing hostel! Highly recommend this for anyone staying in Berlin. From the moment I walked in the staff was incredible and super friendly. Great events and it was super easy to meet people here.
This hostel feels a lot more homey and comfortable, and has a great outdoor patio. It's also in a great neighborhood that feels local but is still central to the major attractions. Highly recommend Impala coffee which is right down the street from the hostel or Tabac- cool cocktail bar right across the street.
Only change I would make would be privacy curtains on beds, but the beds are super comfortable and clean otherwise.

I absolutely loved my stay at East Seven. The staff, the volunteers, the guests were all so friendly and made you feel at home right away. The daily events hosted by the hostel made socializing super easy and approachable while solo travelling! There’s just a certain vibe when you go to east seven that feels right. The hostel had great amenities, like a fully equipped kitchen and the best outdoor space you could imagine - made it feel like you weren’t even in a major city. The location? Perfect. It’s situated away from the touristy things, feeling more like a locals vibe - which I really appreciated! Also such a safe spot as you need a key card to enter. I would recommend this to any traveller stopping in Berlin, I know I’ll be back when I come back to beautiful Berlin ???? thank you east seven for the best time !

Perfect hostel! Not a single complaint I can think of. Everything was kept super tidy. Staff were very helpful and had many local insights. The atmosphere was phenomenal. People tended to be in the common rooms which meant that it was a super social atmosphere and also meant that if you needed peace and quiet in your room (like at nighttime) then that was easy as well.

Amazing hostel. Stayed here for 4 nights and everything went really well.
The staff is great, rooms and bathrooms are clean (they clean bathrooms daily), and the hostel vibe is really nice.
Located in a quiet neighbourhood, is perfect If you want to have a quiet stay in Berlin. But if you want to have fun, I recommend it too, because you can reach nice bars within a short walk (5-10 min).
One last word for the really cool backyard.
