Sunflower Hostel Berlin

The location was convenient near Uber Arena, rooms were clean, and the staff was helpful.

“Berlin in vielen Facetten auf kleinem Raum”

The hostel itself is well run with friendly, helpful staff and a 24‑hour staffed reception. The rooms are large and the beds very comfortable; linens and towels are free with a deposit. I liked the tidy and thoughtful layout, such as large lockers in the room for luggage and handy reading lights by the bed. Cleanliness and noise level were typical for an average hostel. The location is great, with an Aldi right next door for breakfast and a shopping street with snack stalls and a drugstore a short walk away. In the bathrooms I wished for a few more shelves or hooks on the wall. Besides the single shower, you could at least put clothes and a towel on the windowsill, but in the reach of the other shower there was no place to store things. There was also no suitable spot to put shower gel in the showers. It was annoying that in all the sinks the drain was completely open toward the pipe. I accidentally dropped the lid of a small mouthwash bottle into the sink and it vanished right away. That was tolerable, but if it had been a gold earring I would have been very upset. Regarding the location, one must note that you can see Berlin’s grittier sides from here. I wouldn’t call the area unsafe per se, but the street lighting is poor and there are some homeless people around the Warschauer Straße S‑bahn stop who might approach or stumble toward you, then theatrically fall right in front of your feet. I had previously stayed in spotless Budapest and now in no less tidy Stockholm. The contrast to Berlin, where someone simply poops in the middle of the bright day on the Helsingforser Platz and you smell intense cannabis smoke from the tilted windows while passing by, is striking. But if you want to ignore that part of Berlin, you probably need to move into a five‑star hotel in Mitte.

It was super close to everything I wanted to see, had great vibes, and offered good value for money.

The location is close to the clubs, Aldi, and the metro. There are no curtains on the beds, and apparently there was a kitchen that no one ever showed me.
