Sunflower Hostel Berlin

only 30 seconds walk to Berghain :)

Location is excellent! The room was clean and spacious, the staff was very friendly and kind. We met some amazing people and really enjoyed our stay.

The beds were a bit uncomfortable and creaky, so we didn't sleep very well.

I went for a 5 days trip and stayed in 6 bed mixed dorm, with my boyfriend and other people we met there. Everyone at this hostel is very kind and open - minded, you can easily meet new people and share stories together. Only few hours are needed to get used to staying in this hostel and afterwards, you feel very comfortable. The reception is always there and willing to help you in anything. The reception - bar area is very nice, has cool music and and offers you cheap beers and coktails, discounts on entrance fees for clubs and useful notes for hanging around. The super - market REWE is near and 24h open for everything, u can even have coffee there, and food/salad choosing your own ingredients, anytime. The area around this hostel is full of life especially in the night, since there are many bars and clubs, for all tastes. In a range of 8min walk, there are all the possible ways of moving around the city of Berlin. The heating inside the rooms is great, u barely need to wear clothes. The water is always hot in the shower. Just information: u can have bed sheets and towels just by giving 5 euros on ur check in and they will return to you the 5 euros on check out, as long as they are in good condition. Also u can have hair dryer from the reception the same way for 10euros (and return) so dont mind bringing these.

My room was 3rd floor and i had many doors ahead, and stairs to climb until I reach it, but of course that's not a real problem, I'd just prefer something easier. Hostel was clean in general since every room is cleaned every morning, but I felt like bathrooms needed more, because i found bathroom's surfaces a bit dirty to leave stuff on.(Of course, every place would stay clean for longer if visitors were more careful and respectful). Bed sheets or towels are not changed until u check out and check in back again, so that's a disadvantage. Beds, doors or the places where u put your baggage are noisy so people that come in the night may wake you up for some mins(not a problem if you are not having any sleep issues or serious work meetings). The buzz system of going in and out of hostel and rooms area is not that annoying as other comments claim. Just don't forget your hostel card (put it in ur jacket or phone case or purse) and don't forget to show it before you go in ur room. That's all :)
