After strolling around the lively surrounding neighbourhoods of Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte, you can come and relax in the hostel's backyard garden, meet fellow travellers in their adjacent self-catering kitchen or just hang around in the lounge - both located in the cosy garden house. In the summer feel free to BBQ up a treat in the garden, but make sure you're inside by 10pm - as to not disturb the neighbours.

Whilst a lot of other hostels are just racked with the hub-bub of coming and going and rowdy guests, Eastseven has managed to remain small and calm. An ideal location to rest your feet in one of the most fantastic capital cities of the world. And after a long trek around the rest of Europe it's certainly relaxing to encounter a hostel that provides this kind of tranquil haven that is sometimes just what the doctor ordered.

All airports, long distance railway stations and the central bus station are within 20 minutes by public transport. You can reach major touristic attractions like the Brandenburg Gate, the Museum Island and "Tacheles" by underground within 10 Minutes. The castles of Potsdam are just a half-an-hour S-Bahn (A-Train) away.
