When you are planning to visit Berlin, there are many different alternatives if it comes to accommodation. Because you will normally not spend that much time in your room, I would recommend to book a hostel. The hostels in Berlin are cheap and often have a very pleasant location. If you are planning to stay in Friedrichshain, you could decide to stay in the Sunflower Hostel on the Helsingforser Straße.

Vibrant district: Friedrichshain

Choosing the right district to spend your holiday is not an easy decision. Every district has its own charms and because the public transport is splendid in Berlin, you do not necessarily have to stay in the center of the city. Three districts of Berlin which are especially interesting for young people are: Neukölln, Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. The Sunflower Hostel is located in the middle of Friedrichshain and only that could be reason enough to book a room here. Many great clubs are located in Friedrichshain and some cheap bars are also not far away from the hostel. It is not without reason that Friedrichshain has the highest gastronomy-density of all the districts in Berlin.

If you are staying in this part of Berlin, make sure to go and taste some of the best burgers in Friedrichshain.
