I have not booked the room beforehand, I just went out from the train station and this was the closest hostel I could find, and luckily it was a great choice. The hostel has a great atmosphere and I felt very welcome. The staff are very friendly and helpful, one of the receptionists gave me many tips about where to... More

I stayed here for about a week. It was really hard to leave. The staff was friendly, the beds were comfortable, and the atmosphere was incredibly relaxed. The breakfast was typical, but nevertheless delicious. And the location was prime. Wouldn't mind returning one day.

We stayed for 3 nights in a group. The hostel is a little walk from the underground, the area is safe. The staff is helpful. What surprised me is the amount of space they have in rooms for people, they dont try to squash 12 people in a room for 6. There is plenty of space. They breakfast is ordinary,... More

I don't understand why so many people are whining about The Sunflower Hostel. It is a great hostel. The staff is nice if you are nice to them. Everybody is relaxed and the most people who go to sunflower are relaxed people. If you expect a Hilton hotel service, you are at the wrong place. But thats what you choose... More

I've stayed here three times, once with family, twice with friends, and each time I've found the staff to be easy-going, laid-back and friendly. There is a chilled out vibe in this hostel. It's a great price too, if you're travelling on a budget and is very conveniently located beside the East-Side Gallery and OstBahnHof. For those of you who... More

Up front, I will tell you that we were a group of twenty, three adults and seventeen middle school students, but there were negative things that had nothing to do with the age of our group. First, it was noisy in the halls up until four or five in the morning. Loud voices, stopping, slamming of doors, etc. Our rooms... More

I stayed here for 3 nights. The room was clean but little dusty. It was comfortable and the sheets was very clean. The staff was very friendly. The center was about 20 minutes but the area near the hostel is full of bars, restaurants. i will sure visit again this hostel. The bathrooms was clean (not all the times).

I stayed here for 3 nights. It's a great hostel. Cheap drinks, good people, friendly staff. Breakfast was also very cheap and well worth it compared to everywhere else I stayed in Europe. My dorm was surprisingly really quiet. The hostel is located in one of the best parts of Berlin I thought. Easy to get to, not hard to... More

I stayed there twice. The first time was one of the first nights I spent in Berlin. The night was about what I expected from a hostel. The second night I tried to sleep there, some weeks later, went much less pleasantly. The desk clerk made a point of hassling me for not being a tourist -- I'd mentioned that... More

Dear Lawrencem, As one of the owners of Sunflower Hostel I would like to take the opportunity to comment your feedback as following: You obviously booked a dorm bed = a bed for a low price together w/ other guests. To expect a hostel to give you an entire free dorm room for the same price of a single bed... More
