Your beds are so noisy. It is almost impossible to sleep. Each time anyone moves a big noise come from the beds. Worst experience ever. Done book guys. Let the owners fix their issues and replace the beds

Very good hostel. It's a shame it doesn't have an elevator because it would be perfect there.

I had a wonderful stay in sunflower hostel, very good atmosphere. My flight was delayed for two nights and they did everything they could to let me stay there for two extra nights although the hostel was almost fully booked. The location is fine, the nearest train station is a five minutes walk and “Berghein” club is two minutes walk, but the Main Streets are a train ride.To conclude my stay in sunflower hotel was very great and my time there was even greater. If you are looking for a good solo experience this is the right hostel for you.

The people at the reception were very nice. Always willing to help. The rooms are very large and comfortable. The bar was good. The location is very quiet and safe, and close to public transportation to get to other places.

My stay at Sunflower was great - lots of thing to do in the area and great people staying there to chat and make plans with. They also organize walking tours - I took one and our guide, Tom, was excellent, adapted to our interests, and gave us recommendations from where to eat to where to go party at night. Definitely would recommend!

A place with a mix of Radioactivity and time travel, you will find all the tribes in this place! Proactive staff who solve whatever you need, beer at a good value for money (cash everything in Berlin). For backpackers of all ages, beds are not the place's strong suit, but if you're going to Berlin you don't think about sleeping, right? 😂

The private rooms are quite good, spacious, clean, bright and with large windows... at reception they give you towels and sheets in exchange for a deposit and you must place the sheets and pillowcases yourself. An ideal hostel for young people who want to be close to areas with bars and cafes and close to Kreuzberg and the East Side Gallery. I didn't like that soap or shampoo is not provided in the showers. There may be noisy guests but it is part of the youthful atmosphereThere is no elevator
