Gay hostel berlin

Hostel was clean and super social. All bathrooms are shared but standards of cleanliness are high, and you won’t find yourself waiting in a queue.

It’s also located in the trendy Kreuzkölln, so there’s plenty to keep you busy, but MINIMAL itself is the ideal venue for people who want to limit the partying to outside and find some quiet time when you’re in the hostel.

The Cat’s Pajamas Hostel

With attractive and quirky décor (yes, pictures of cats are sometimes involved) and good connections into the city, The Cat’s Pajamas is fast becoming popular with gay travelers who aren’t just after the Berlin party experience.

Dorms sleep up to 8 people; alternatively, there are single, double and twin private rooms.

The staff are friendly, and it’s the perfect place to chill out.

PLUS Berlin

Right next to the East Side Gallery (and extremely near Berghain), this Friedrichshain hostel offers the facilities of a hotel combined with the value and sociability of a hostel. The team here are friendly to everyone – one of the reasons it’s on our list of gay hostels in Berlin.

You won’t find the glossy Drag-Race inspired performances of San Diego, Miami or Chicago here!

If hard-core partying isn’t your scene (or you just need a rest day), then there’s a Queer Walking Tour, the world’s first queer museum and lots of queer bookshops to discover. We love the monochrome décor with mustard yellow sofas, and the exposed concrete walls.

There’s a true Berlin feel about both the interior design and the location; the café is oh-so-hipster but with great coffee and sweet treats.

So no room for confusion there! Enjoy!

If this doesn’t quite tickle your fancy, check out some of the other options below.

Gay Youth Hostel

Positioned in Berlin’s vibrant gay quarter, this basic hostel offers a space exclusively for young gay men- and is only a 5-minute walk from Nollendorfplatz square and its underground station.

The brightly furnished rooms of the Gay Youth Hostel are somewhat dated, but we loved the location, helpful staff and a sociable living room to meet other gay men and see where the night takes you.

There are excellent views from some of the rooms as well. It is still an extremely attractive hostel, with a very ‘Berlin’ feel. Expect late-night techno, coffee-fuelled mornings in Kreuzberg and enough history to fill your backpack twice over. The beds are incredibly comfy, and all of the ones in the 4, 6 or 8-bed dorms have their own locker, power socket and light.

Staying in Kreuzberg is a great way to experience life as a Berlin local.

The rooms are bright and spacious, whether you’re staying in the six-bed dorm or in the apartment next door. Anything goes in this wild and wonderful capital; you’re more likely to see a man in a leather skirt on the U-Bahn at 8 am than you are to see a man in a suit and tie, and we are here for that.

By day you can explore the rich history and culture the city has to offer; walk along the East Side Gallery, climb onto the roof of the Berlin Cathedral, stroll along Unter den Linden before grabbing Kaffee und Kuchen somewhere.

Gay bars like Hafen, Toms, Scheune, New Action, The Jaxx or the gay sauna Apollo are just a few steps away.

Our friendly hostel team will also provide you with information and maps of the gay area.

Come and enjoy our gay hostel - we look forward to you!


Check-in: noon (12h) – 06.00 p.m. There’s always something happening in the communal areas, which can make it sometimes hard to leave!

If you’re more into the design side of the city than the wild gay nightlife (that’s OK, too!), then this artistic space is the place to stay.

A fun-loving, rowdy hostel perfect for gays who want to experience all of the joys Berlin has to offer.

It might not be the most modern or designer hostel on this list, but it more than makes up for that with its intimate atmosphere and welcoming staff. (11h)

Beds were comfy, and the facilities were exceedingly clean + unlike more hostels in Berlin, it is very quiet at night, maybe because all of us queers are out partying the night away?

If you want to stay gay, cheap and have the fab gay scene of the Schöneberg district right on your doorstep, this is the gay Berlin hostel for you!

Wallyard Concept Hostel

It might be a bit off the beaten track, in Moabit, but it’s near the central train station, and the striking design makes it one of the more fabulous popular gay hostels in Berlin.

Rent a bike and cycle to the sights – a little exercise never hurt especially if you are trying to stay fit while on vacation!

EastSeven Berlin Hostel

Located in leafy Prenzlauer Berg, this relaxed hostel continues the green theme with its décor inside.
