East Seven Hostel

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 had an amazing time! The hostel is super friendly and people are really nice too. They have a lot of activities each night so you can meet new people and it was super fan! Also my roommates were so nice and the beds are really comfortable. Would definitely come back!

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!

My stay at EastSeven was PERFECT. Super clean, people are super nice, beds are good and have a lot of room to them. I would 100% recommend if you are looking for a place to stay. Also like 3-5 min from the subway which leads you quickly anywhere in the city. Really life changing stay!

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.

this was a great hostel for backpackers and has been our personal favourite on our travels so far. the staff were lovely and helpful, giving us lots of information and a tour on arrival. the facilities were great and it was a very sociable hostel. it was very clean, well kept and the rooms were a generous size in comparison to most hostels.

Easily the best atmosphere in a hostel of my entire trip - loved everything about this place. The room was lovely and bright, the neighbourhood itself has such a nice vibe with lots of bars, markets and food spots. The hostel has so many social spaces both indoors/outdoors and the staff here are so nice and genuinely care about putting a good experience together for everyone!! Events every night from family dinners to sunset picnics and drinking games. Can’t wait to come back :))

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.

We had an amazing stay in this hostel! The rooms were clean and the communal kitchen was very handy. The people working there are super welcoming and have lots of recommendations! I recommend this hostel because of it’s location. It’s situated in a lovely neighbourhood and very close to a metro stop which makes it very easy to reach the centre.

EastSeven was a great hostel experience! The place is very clean with staff cleaning the premises twice a day. The hostel staff are very friendly and helpful. The beds are extremely comfortable and soft. It is a great social hostel, making it very easy to meet and chat to people, Perfect for solo travellers. Would definitely recommend and stay again !!

Stayed in a 4 person female dorm. Plenty of space and comfy beds. Would have been handy to have a socket under the table in room. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere on the hostel with social nights and free hostel dinner one night. Great way to meet others. Basic cereal, tea & coffee served for free until 10am. Very close to underground. Would definitely recommend

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. If you’re looking for a hostel in Berlin, go to East Seven.

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.

We stayed in a private twin room and the beds were so comfortable!! Bathrooms were always clean. 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. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved this hostel so much. Had a homely feel to it as there was so many people from my city there. Staff are amazing and will have a chat a get to know you. Terrance is lovely at night to meet people and they have activities daily as well to meet others. Highly recommend staying here

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.

Great hostel! Everything is spotless (you can walk around barefoot clean). The kitchen is fully equipped, perfect for a long stay. I even worked from the dining and outdoor spaces, which were super convenient. The best part? The staff! They're the heart of the place, always organizing fun events and games, super helpful, and incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend staying here!

LOVED THIS HOSTEL!!! I’m a solo female traveller who stayed here over the weekend. Everything is clean and the beds are comfy. The best part was every night they have some kind of activity like drinking games on the weekend. I had an amazing time and it was super easy to meet new friends! It’s definitely a party hostel for people in their 20s but even if that’s not ur vibe they are amazing for making sure the dorm areas are quiet at 10pm. STAY HERE!

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 !

An amazing hostel with incredible staff and a 10/10 vibe. The rooms and facilities were outstanding, comfortable, and clean. The atmosphere was really great - we loved the family dinners and games nights that were hosted by the staff. Very conveniently located too. I have a feeling this is probably going to be the best hostel we’ve ever stayed in.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in! Great location, super friendly staff, cool events every night...There is room for everyone, whether you want a chill night (the hostel is quiet at 10pm) or to socialize. I would 100% come back!

A very clean hostel located conveniently in Berlin. The backyard was beautiful and it was great to spend time there relaxing after exploring the city. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I will definitely recommend this hostel for anyone looking for a great accommodation in Berlin!

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.

This was such an amazing hostel! Rooms were clean, the staff were so helpful and kind, and the location was perfect. My favorite aspect though was the atmosphere. It was so easy to meet people and everyone was so welcoming and inclusive. After joining the family dinner I had 6 new friends who I spent the evening hanging out with. I will definitely be back!

EastSeven hostel is exactly why I love hostels, from the second we walked in we were greeted with friendly staff. The rooms were great with comfortable beds and a desk and mirror. The best part was definitely Leo's cooking on family dinner night!! Everyone at the hostel was social and friendly, and it was super easy to strike up a conversation with anyone. We will definitely come again and recommend to our friends.

This is by far the most social and therefore best hostel I have ever stayed at. It seems to attract the best types naturally. Really great for solo travelers - you will definitely meet others who are also looking for travel buddies. The staff is really the best part - they have great suggestions and they put on regular events and gatherings that are very fun.. Shout out to all of the friendly staff here, you are beautiful ??. Do yourself a favor, and stay here if you're traveling to Berlin!

Absolutely lovely hostel! The staffs were friendly and always accommodation. They even offered to do laundry (wash + dry) for just 10 euros which saved my time so much :) The location was excellent (just a few minutes away from the metro) and the rooms were kept clean!

Wonderful place to stay. Very clean, with special atmosphere and interior design ideas. Simple, but artsy. Open and nice staff. Everything you need. The rooms inside are quite noise proof so the sleeping was comfortable. Amazing outside terrace, better to be used when it's quite warm.

Defiently the best hostel in Berlin!! Its the best and sweetest staff. I have been here twice and its seems like the place only attracts so nice people. It almost feels like the people at the hostel become a family, as the hostel is a cute size, not too big. Its a very unique place, where instead of the staff being anonymous becomes friends. There are different types of social events every day, that makes it very easy for a solo traveller, and there is a nice garden/terrace as Well! I can recommend it to everyone, who is considering to stay at a hostel in Berlin.

This is the best hostel I’ve stayed at. The staff are so friendly and they have activities/events running each evening that give you a chance to chat to other people staying in the hostel. It is also so clean, the beds, floors, bathrooms and kitchens were all kept at such a high standard - it was wonderful! It felt very safe too. There is 24hour reception, and there are female only showers and toilets for those who prefer to use them, but the mixed ones were also very clean and well maintained.

Absolutely a lovely hostel. Staff is amazing and the place is perfect for solo travelling as well. Very social environment but still peaceful if you feel like relaxing the day/night. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Berlin and will definitely visit again!

EastSeven was my first ever hostel experience and it has definitely set a very high standard. The facilities were excellent, excellent storage space, great showers, comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen and great social spaces. But the biggest selling point of the hostel is 100% the staff and the people I met. All staff were so friendly and accommodating, consistently giving great recommendations and always down for a chat. I would recommend this hostel to anyone considering travelling to Berlin, whether solo or in a group. I can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely fantastic hostel, best one I’ve been to by far. Very welcoming and social, the staff are so incredibly nice, and the rooms have great lockable storage under the beds. Social spaces are lovely and there are many opportunities to make friends and go out with others at the hostel.

An unforgettable experience at this hostel! The atmosphere is simply amazing; from the moment you walk in, you feel like part of a big traveling family. The staff is exceptional, always ready to help with anything you need and with a friendly attitude that makes you feel at home. The nightly activities are the highlight; there's never a shortage of laughter and you always end up making new friends from all over the world. Additionally, the team provides valuable guidance on what to do in Berlin, from must-see tourist sites to authentic places to experience local life. Honestly, I recommend this hostel 100%. It's not just a place to rest, but also a starting point for adventures and unforgettable memories. You won't regret staying here!!

Most of the staff was really awesome, especially for the drinking games. The outside area is super beautiful and everything is always clean and nice. In a really nice neighbourhood but kind of far from the massive tourist attractions, but we didn’t mind taking the train— and the best taco place is just around the corner! Social as far as hostels go in Europe (definitely like top 5 I’ve been to over here).

This hostel was so good. Everything was clean and organized. The staff was super friendly, and the cereal was nice in the morning. The common areas and nightly social events are also super great. I was only here for one night, but I wish I was here for longer lol. Would highly recommend

Great place to stay in Berlin! I would definitely go back next time. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The rooms and bathroom were very clean. They also have events regularly and give recommendations about places to check out. It’s in a great part of Berlin and easy to catch public transport to go to everywhere else. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay! Loved the location, lots of nice food/cafes around and right by a train stop. Room and facilities were clean, large storage space. Lots of common space, kitchen is a nice perk. Everyone was friendly, staff are fun, didn’t make it to any group events but seemed like a good time. WhatsApp group was great for information on where to go and what to do. Definitely recommend staying here.

Absolutely loved staying at East Seven while I was in Berlin. The rooms were lovely, the clean facilities, great common areas. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The hostel is located in a beautiful area and well connected with multiple train/tram stations around. Definitely would return!

EastSeven set my standard for hostels. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and many amenities were available like the kitchen, fridge, laundry drop-off, and common room. It was easy to make friends during my stay, especially during the social drinking and game nights. The staff also provided great recommendations for food spots, sightseeing, and clubbing. I can't wait to stay here again!!

Probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. It’s close to parks, cafes, and a metro station. Everything about the rooms is great. Everything is super clean. The staff/volunteers were the most incredible people, super helpful and super sweet. The atmosphere was amazing too (I stayed here end of February), there are activities every day, there’s a common kitchen, dining area and chilling room. I met wonderful people here, would come back anytime. Thanks for everything

We had a great experience. The hostel is clean and quiet and every floor has many bathrooms with showers and toilets. The room was clean and well equipped and the staff was kind and helpful. Me and my friend were there for working reasons and we did not join the activities but we know they offered many nice experiences such as free dinner all together. Next time I will join it. Great experience. Thank you

Great hostel. Hostel is clean, professionally run with great staff and its very nice that you always have the option to either join in the activities to party or have social contact in the living room in a more relaxed way. Only thing I think they can improve is to add a privacy curtain to the beds although the current system where they shield your head with a white slack also gives you the feeling of privacy. Also very nice and social guests while I was there

I’ve stayed in numerous hostels while travelling and EastSeven was by far the best. Not only was my room and communal bathroom very clean and nice, the environment of the hostel was fantastic. Everyone, including staff, were very nice and welcoming. If you’re wanting to meet new people and get great recommendations on sites or restaurants to visit, this hostel is awesome.
