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. 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.

🍻 Hostels in Berlin for Solo Travellers: Art, History & After-Hours Beats

2025 in Berlin?

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.

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. And of course there’s a fabulous Gay Pride, called the Christopher Street Day Parade – one of the best Gay Pride festivals in the world; there’s even a Berlin leather fetish week.

With all this gay fun to be had, it won’t surprise you that Berlin is one of the only cities that has an exclusively gay hostel called… Gay Hostel.

The people are very happy to help and the location

Mitte

"…It's small, personal and clean, has comfortable beds and lots of extras like free Internet and a

"…There are single, twin, double, female and multi-bed rooms. When you get tired of that, head up to your room and snuggle into a comfortable bed; make the most of the free Wi-Fi by Instagramming your night before nodding off!

By night, who knows? 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. It’s definitely a good place to stay if you’re in Berlin for the nightlife – they’ll even give you a welcome shot to get you started!

It might be tiny, but it’s got an enormous heart; this welcoming hostel is located on the banks of the canal in the heart of Kreuzberg, near plenty of great coffee shops, cozy bars, the weekly Turkish market and some of the best ice-cream places in the city.

Great adventures await once the sun goes down in Berlin.

And NO!… We are not just talking about dark rooms (though if you are curious, read up on your gay sauna etiquette in advance..)

There’s a long history of openness in Berlin, despite repression in Nazi-era Germany.

Think of hedonism, history, and hipsters combined, and you get the glorious city of Berlin.



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. The building is a neo-gothic converted school for fashion design, and the vibe is suitably artistic.

The open kitchen and dining area is bright and sleek, and there’s a games room for some fun with other guests. Gay travelers will find the same warm welcome that everyone else does.

The rooms have the funky industrial style familiar to Berlin, and we love the coziness of the bunk beds. Stay in simple but comfortable shared rooms and get to know others in the lounge area or the sauna.

So no room for confusion there! There’s plenty of space in the bar to invite all your new friends for a beer, before heading out to explore Friedrichshain.

Generator Berlin Mitte

Stay slap bang in the center of Berlin at this Generator in Mitte, the perfect location for sightseeing, culture and partying till dawn.



Within less than a minute you are at Motzstrasse - the gay street of Schoeneberg. All of your needs are catered for with a swimming pool and sauna, courtyard garden and gorgeous bar and restaurant.

All of the rooms are en-suite, whether you’re staying in a 2-bed, 4-bed or 6-bed dorm or a private room.

From courtyard film nights to pub crawls that finish at Berghain (maybe), there’s always something happening.

🔥 Pro tip: Look for hostels with free breakfast or on-site kitchens — Berlin brunches can get pricey!

In 1920s Weimar Republic, Schöneberg saw the establishment of the first gay village in the world, and it’s still the heart of Berlin’s gay scene, although gay culture is so widely accepted that you’ll find a gay scene everywhere.

Everyone will have heard of Berghain, with its strict door policy, dark rooms, and sexual permissiveness.
