Berlin is probably the hippest city in Germany. Sights, events, parties: there’s always something going on here. Do you want to watch a Hertha game, discover the museums on Museum Island or turn night into day at Berghain? Everything is possible!

If you are coming from another city and want to stay in Berlin for a few days, you will of course need accommodation. If you like meeting other travelers, then a hostel is a good choice.

At EastSeven Hostel Berlin in the Prenzlauer Berg district, things are particularly personal. Our hostel is run with a lot of passion by the owner and her team. All of our hostel staff have a social streak, enjoy communicating and have already been on one or two longer trips themselves.

They are happy to provide you with insider tips on what not to miss in Berlin. So you’re in the best hands when you choose our hostel as your accommodation. But there are many more good reasons to choose our hostel. We have compiled the most important ones for you.

 

5 reasons why EastSeven is your perfect accommodation in Berlin

We are aware that EastSeven is not a 5-star hotel. And we don’t want to be. We know that our guests don’t expect luxury, but rather a pleasant stay where they realize that we care about them.

And we want to offer our guests the best value for money that a hostel in Berlin can offer.

In addition, there are the following 5 outstanding arguments why our hostel is ideal for your visit to our beautiful capital.

1. Centrally located in trendy Prenzlauer Berg

The location of our hostel is unbeatable. You’ll find us at Schwedter Straße 7, just 80 meters from Senefelder Platz subway station. From there, it’s just 2 stops on the U2 underground line to Alexanderplatz, probably the city’s most famous square with its striking TV tower.

Thanks to the U-Bahn in the immediate vicinity of our hostel, you are optimally connected to various other means of transport. You can reach the central bus station just as quickly as various long-distance train stations and the airport.

Our hostel is therefore perfect for your journey to Berlin. And even if you want to discover the city, you can easily get to a wide variety of places from us. Depending on the time of day, for example, it only takes around half an hour to get from EastSeven to the Brandenburg Gate.

If you are planning a day trip to Brandenburg, you will also benefit from our ideal location.

But you don’t have to travel that far to experience something. There are numerous trendy cafés, bars and other hot spots right on the doorstep of our hostel where you can have a great time.

To get you dreaming and inspired, we have put together the 9 most beautiful cafés and the 10 coolest bars near EastSeven. You should also take a look at our article on 9 worthwhile restaurants in our area.

You can expect a diverse selection of rooms with us. You can not only book a place to sleep in a typical hostel shared room, but also a double or family room. There is also the option of booking a double room for yourself and thus getting a single room.

Our double rooms are equipped with a double bed or a bunk bed – depending on whether you are traveling with your partner or with a friend.

Our family rooms have a double bed and a single bed. This makes it ideal for families of three with an older child, but also for three adults vacationing together in Berlin.

We have multi-bed rooms with 4, 6 and 10 beds, whereby the 6-bed room is used exclusively by women. Our shared rooms are equipped with double bunk beds including a cupboard underneath for your personal belongings. You also have USB ports and a reading light directly at your sleeping area.

Depending on the size and furnishings of the shared rooms, seating is available.

You are not only flexible when choosing your room at EastSeven, but also when checking in. We offer the option of checking in around the clock. So if your train to Berlin is delayed or your car is stuck in a traffic jam, you don’t have to worry.

We also offer two booking models:

• If you don’t have a fixed travel plan, you can use our flexible rate. You then have the option of canceling your accommodation free of charge up to 72 hours before your planned arrival.
• You will get the best price for your overnight stay if you book without the option to cancel.

You also have maximum flexibility when booking in our house.

3. Cozy common areas and practical comfort

Because we attach great importance to the togetherness of our visitors in our hostel, we have various communal areas – both indoors and outdoors.

A special feature that you will only find in a few hostels throughout Berlin is our self-catering kitchen. As you would expect, it is fully equipped. Among other things, our kitchen is equipped with a stove, oven and microwave.

There is also a dining room in our house so that you can eat your meals socially. You can also spend time in the living room, meet other travelers and chat with them.

Our garden is a very popular alternative to the living room and dining room, especially in summer. You can eat, read and chat in the fresh air and quickly forget that you’re in the middle of a metropolis.

As is usual for a hostel, the residents of all rooms in our house use shared bathrooms; we have both men’s and women’s bathrooms as well as gender-neutral bathrooms. This ensures the greatest possible privacy.

4. community events and authentic Berlin flair

What would a good hostel be without community events? At EastSeven, you can expect regular events where our guests can get to know each other better. These include weekly barbecues in our garden and family dinners, which we host at least twice a week in our communal kitchen.

Our Supper Club, Movie Nights, PlayStation evenings and many other events also promise a lot of fun, where we warmly welcome you and all other EastSeven residents.

The opportunity to use the board games and puzzles available in the communal living room also ensures a familiar and friendly atmosphere. Playing an exciting game or doing a puzzle together may even lead to new friendships.

There is also a TV in the living room, which is available to all our guests.

5. enjoyment and culinary extras included

The prices for our rooms and accommodation include a hearty muesli breakfast. This provides you with energy as soon as you get up so that you can explore the capital afterwards.

At least twice a week, we also organize our family dinner – a communal evening meal prepared by our hostel chef. You can get to know the other participants and chat with them over delicious meals.

Thanks to our communal kitchen, you also have the opportunity to cook for yourself at any time. The kitchen equipment has everything you need for this. You can then eat your meals in the living room or dining room. Or you can make yourself comfortable in the quiet lounge in our garden.

There is also a barbecue area in the garden for atmospheric summer evenings.

Practical insider tips for your stay at EastSeven

If you are coming to Berlin by car, the parking facilities will play an important role for you. EastSeven does not have its own parking spaces, but you can park on the street near our hostel. Parking fees are charged for this.

A parking ticket costs 4 euros for 2 hours in our district. To pay, you can use a parking ticket machine on the street or use the app to secure your parking space. The latter is particularly practical because you are more flexible and can extend your parking time without having to go to the machine again.

You can use the following apps to pay for parking:

• EasyPark
• PayByPhone
• Parkster

The apps are available free of charge for iPhone and Android.

You do not have to pay parking fees if you are in Berlin at the weekend or on a public holiday. There are also no charges from midnight to 9 am.

Nevertheless, you should calculate whether it would not be cheaper to get to our capital by another means of transport. Thanks to the convenient location of our hostel, you can reach us quickly with the U2 underground line or the streetcar.

By the way, you don’t have to worry about packing towels for your stay with us. If you book your accommodation directly on our website, we will provide you with towels free of charge. This will save you space in your suitcase, rucksack or travel bag.

We would like to remind you that you can book your room or accommodation with us at a flexible rate. This gives you the option to cancel your stay free of charge up to three days before your arrival. This is particularly useful if you don’t know exactly when you want to travel to Berlin.

Special features: What makes EastSeven different from other hostels

We have made a conscious decision not to be a party hostel. So if you want to party around the clock, we’re unfortunately not the right accommodation for you. However, we are happy to recommend a few clubs in Berlin where you can party wildly before you fall into bed exhausted but happy.

At EastSeven, we see ourselves as an adults-only hostel that cultivates a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. We therefore prefer that families with small children do not stay with us. But if you want to enjoy a nice stay in Berlin with friends, then our hostel is perfect.

Even if you want to meet new people while staying in the capital, EastSeven offers the best conditions. People from all over the world book rooms and beds with us. This brings you into contact with a wide variety of cultures and customs.

Thanks to our communal kitchen, which is a special feature and a unique selling point of our hostel, you can prepare typical local dishes with your new friends. Afterwards, you can enjoy them in the common rooms or in our cozy garden.

Because things are so relaxed here, you can use our common rooms and garden on the day of your check-in – no matter when your room or bed is ready. You can also leave your bags in our luggage storage if you have an appointment or want to go into the city center.

Even on the day you check out, you can continue to stay in the common areas of our hostel. So even after your check-out, you can cook in the kitchen, watch TV in the living room or chill out in the garden. You are also free to use our luggage storage.

During your stay with us, you will of course have access to our house and your accommodation at all times thanks to our practical door code system. And there’s no risk of losing a key or card, because we don’t do that.
