Detailed Reviews
I stayed in a two-man room with my travel partner. It was great, we had a nice shower and good space in the room. The location is great, and you get good value for the money. You can also eat a somewhat reasonably priced breakfast at the hotel, would definetely recommend.

Opinion about a place always requires care. When looking for a Hostel the first thing we look for is the price. The Sun Flower pleased most, part of the staff very polite and kind, while others cannot say the same. The blanket was not enough, despite the heating. The location, at first, did not give me security on the first day, the way at night a little dark, but people get used to it carefully. Overall, a good hostel!

Came here for a couple nights in Berlin. The check in was very easy and the staff quite friendly. The room itself was very adequate - and much cleaner than one might expect a hostel to be, the bed itself I thought was very comfortable. The facilities weren't particularly new, but most importantly all worked, things such as washing machines, computers, WiFi, photo booth and basic supplies. The location is perfect, on the east side of the city around the majority of the nightlife as well as 15 mins reach from Alexanderplatz and the big sightseeing spots. It is also only 20 mins away from the Hauptbahnhof. The hostel was great for people who need to sleep because a noise curfew was in place and everyone was very quiet. The social area isn't that big though considering how many rooms there are. But saying that it wasn't ever very full during our stay. Overall, I would stay again, as it was excellent value with a great location.

When we first arrived staff were not helpful in letting us store our luggage until check in at 4. They €2 which we didn’t have, we asked them to add it to our bill when we payed with card but was rudely told no. We found a panty liner in our room which not removed when staff informed. We brought a bottle of wine from the bar at 2pm and when going to buy another glass was told we weren’t allowed until 4pm. We booked an all female dorm and a male stayed in it. Staff members were noisy during the night flirting with guests in the hallway at 3am. One bathroom for all rooms. We weren’t allowed to take our key with us, it had to remain with staff. We were charged a deposit for towels and linen and when returned did not receive full deposit back due to not having enough change, when suggested put on card as this what we payed with was told not possible. Over all, staff were extremely rude and unhelpful. Would not recommend.

Arrived late, about a 5 minute walk from the train station. Bar is open 24/7 with access to a microwave, toaster, utensils, etc. Very friendly and are knowledgeable about COVID regulation. Negative test required at check-in, directed me to a rapid testing center very close and was in my room in the next 20 minutes.

I went to Berlin for a concert and found this hostel pretty close to the location.
For a Hostel is was a great stay and good standard. The rooms were clean and ready in time, shower was warm. Due to the location traffic noise is limited although public transport is pretty close.
I tested the breakfast which some of the other guests recommended. Considering that we are talking about a Hostel this was pretty good. Here you don't have to leave hungry.

Really enjoyed my stay here all thanks to the cool breakout area both indoors and outdoors which meant as a 30 something solo traveller it was super easy to meet people from all over the world. Obviously the location is excellent for clubbing so you were always guaranteed a good day or night out. Weird rule in place that they don't serve spirits until after 4pm?! Only beers?! We are in Berlin, one of the clubbing capitals in Europe! I can't drink beer due to stomach conditions so I felt this was hugely disappointing and actually quite ridiculous. I'm an adult so if I'd like a drink at 2pm at a bar I should be able to have one right? Don't get the logic behind it at all. Staff were pleasant. Although one or two a bit rude. However shout out to Peter and Summer who are incredibly sound and friendly. Check in was quite slow. Have to make your own beds and strip them. Apart from that the hostel is very authentic and unpretentious. Very Berlin. Would stay here again.

This hostel is very efficiently run and comfortable. The staff are friendly and do their jobs well to make everything feel very streamlined and safe, but not at the cost of fun and a creative social vibe. Stayed in two very different shared rooms and both felt safe and accommodating with big lockers, clean beds, and friendly roommates. The bathrooms were clean. Everything worked well. Laundry was 5€ and do it yourself, sometimes you had to wait for the machines but they were in the common area which was a nice place to hang out anyway. Location was convenient too, but on a quiet side street. Just booked my second stay :)
