Hands down best and most genuine community type of personal hostel for social interaction and a chilled out stay available in Berlin. The place is excellently run by helpful and pleasant host and the nice outside grounds provides best possible meeting spaces for new and old friends. I also liked that the shared rooms were larger than usual + the kitschen was clean, well equipped and had boxes for ”free to use” etc. Could not recommend more, will stay again (already booked my next week in September even before leaving).

I had the pleasure of staying here for a week in a private room with a friend of mine on a first trip to Berlin and I thought the facilities were better than you could hope for the price and the treatment by staff was exceptional. Good rooms with plenty of space and comfy beds and good facilities. I'd like to thank specifically Abel, Denise and Frida for their exceptional customer service and all around great vibes, will happily return to coffee inn whenever my bank account allows

The contact with the owner was really really nice, she gave us a room upgrade! and while we booked separate rooms at first because of limited availability she managed to put us together. There also is a huge assortiment of teas in the kitchen, something I personally really appreciate. Thank you very much Nelly!

Loved staying in the 10 bed dorm, definitely depends on who’s in the room with you but with 10 beds you have heaps of chances to meet great people to hangout with. the staff were very nice and helpful when we asked questions, great to talk to in general. location was asp so great, lots of food places, some open until late (5am) so great for after going out, also there is a tram stop right outside the building, as well as one right around the corner so super easy to get places although my stay i didn’t go to any of the hostel events i did love that they had things going on every night, if i had one more night i 100% would’ve gone, they looked fun

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I stayed in a pod and it was the right option for solo travelers on dormitory budget, with the advantage of having a bit more privacy and isolating yourself from other people's snoring. You get access to a locker and 5 shared toilets and showers. Breakfast could have been more generous. It was ok but could do much better in terms of the variety of things. Great location in Mitte. Right in front of Tram station and 3-5 minute walk from U-bahn and S-bahn station

    Amazing hostel! Everything was clean, tidy and organised. Great location, close to heaps of restaurants. Lots of fridge space, big kitchen and multiple sitting areas. They also host heaps of communal activities which was great for meeting people and are big on being quiet at night and respecting peoples sleep. Couldn't recommend any higher

    Very clean hostel in an old fine house. The location was better than I expected, just one subway away. The bunk beds are wide and really sturdy. High, safe railings. My own bed was with a green view by a beautiful, high arched window.

    EastSeven is truly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Things I liked about it were: - Super friendly staff members that gave great recommendations and were always around to help - Spacious rooms with comfy beds - Easy to use kitchen and fridge space - Great, safe location (close to train station, cute neighbourhood, walking distance to city) - Activities every night run by the team (eg dinner night, board games, drinking games, etc) - Great outdoor area for chatting with other people in the hostel
