Easterner Hostel

  • May 16, 2006
  • Rated 5 of 5 by Shady Ady from Hinckley, United Kingdom
Easterner Hostel

I have stayed in a number of hostels in my time, but this hostel is definitely one of the best I have stayed in.



Not only is it one of the cheapest in Berlin, but it also one of the most centrally located hostels as well, being only a 10 minute walk from Unter Den Linden and the Brandenburg Gate. The main bar and restaurant district of Berlin, located on Oranienburger Strasse is less than 5 minutes walk away. Here you can find cuisine from every corner of the globe, including traditional German dishes.



Just because it's cheap though it doesn't mean that you are being short changed for your money as this is certainly not the case. The rooms are immaculately clean and there is always free tea and coffee in the kitchen, as well as free Internet 24 hours a day. Hot showers are also available 24 hours a day.



The atmosphere amongst other guests is excellent—friendly and relaxed and I appreciated the no smoking rule that is in place, along with the no party rule, meaning that it's also quiet and peaceful.



There is a FREE guided walking tour of Berlin that picks up outside of the hostel every day and this is an ideal way of seeing the major sites of the city. The guide that I had was full of facts that you would never come across by yourself.



I would recommend this hostel to anyone wanting to visit Berlin. I was even allowed to leave my bags in the hostel for an extra day at no extra charge thanks to the kind hearted owner, which helped me out an awful lot. If you are looking for a cheap, friendly, warm hostel, right in the centre of Berlin, then look no further than the Easterner.
