This place is far beyond just a hostel. It feels like a welcoming home for anyone who stays there, even for a couple of days. and usually, the people who stay there for the first time always regret why their stay is not longer (just like I did). The friendly and cosy atmosphere, the cool and inspiring people who own, work or stay there, the cute chicken, the free movie night that happens every evening, The herb garden and the apple tree, and many other things make Sandino one of a kind and a place where everybody loves to return to, once they experience being there. Thank you, Micha and all the other beautiful souls who make Sandino as great as it is now.

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

Moved here after a bad experience at a different hostel, and was very relieved to find it clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and even let me check in early. A bit farther from most of the tourist attractions than some other hostels, but worth it for the quality!

All hostels in Berlin

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
