Berlin Homestays

This B&B hotel is well-situated in Mitte, within an easy walk of shops (Alexa Mall), restaurants and transportation options. The room, though small, was well equipped and comfortable. Beds were comfy. Breakfasts were fresh and tasty though little variation from day to day. The only negative is that the hotel was also hosting multiple student groups who crowded the public areas, elevators and breakfast area and were often noisy and oblivious to their impact on other travellers. This was a daily annoyance during our 4 night stay.

Bowled over by the size of the rooms - or should I say suite! Good enough location, 5 mins to the U-/S-Bahn and airport train - Alexanderplatz, Mitte and Hakescher Markt are all on your doorstep. Most of the time I spent in my room I kept deliberating how I’d sort out the space. It is a bit strange, especially the shower which is up some stairs in a darkened corner, overlooking the bed and exposed to onlookers from the street? Very strange. The colour scheme reminded me of the basement in my office building - very bland and industrial, but not in a quirky way. And the toilet was in some cupboard that you had to manoeuvre into thanks to a sink overhanging the bowl. Biggest gripe was the air conditioning - the hour limit is really irritating. Thankfully the weather was a let down in Berlin this time, but it’s often over 30c there in the summer and you need the AC on! I still woke up sweating! I’m all for sustainability, but there are other ways to achieve this. Also this is NOT a hotel, rather serviced apartments. You have to request housekeeping, and there is no restaurant/cafe and minimal service. The place is not occupied by staff at night.

I'll start with a positive--Location and size of apartment. Honestly, that is where it sadly ended. This was the worst stay in our 3 week Germany trip. My main complaint was the lack of care and service from the staff and the inaccuracy/unclarity of the photos of the apt. We had an issue with the beds being separated, as our 2 big, unrelated men didn't want to sleep in a Queen together. Normally in Germany, these beds can be separated & they were shown on the web as such. Anyway, I did inquire about it and also asked instead for a cot. My request was met with a robotic and somewhat rude response, including that it couldn't be done that night (fine) and that we had to prepay, etc. There was no offer of any solution other than read the fine print. ”There are no guarantees on bed configuration” Over and over ”...this is not the policy” blah blah blah with 0 emotion or care. Oh, and they asked if we wanted a blanket to sleep on the 4 foot couch. OK. I received a sheet and when I asked for a pillow, I got a pillowcase. Whatever. Our travel partner ended up booking a separate place. They give you a 4 pg contract to sign all written in German. Sketchy. The beds werelow and somewhat uncomfortable, but we were tired and slept ok. The 1990 east german shower was awkward with shower curtain that sticks to your body & ran out of hot water after person #2. We didn't bother to complain, we knew it wouldn't matter. The washer (kinda the reason we booked this place) did not have instructions, there were no instructions on what to do with garbage or check out, other than be out by 10, or you're charged . We each received 1 bath & 1 hand towel for 3 days. It is customary in Germany, but we did need more and didn't even bother to ask, I didn't even want to see the woman! The Hallways were filthy! The apt, however, was clean. When we left the guy who was somewhat considerate asked us how everything was...I said ”liveable.” Then he asked if there were any lightbulbs out.

If your on a holiday and need a cenral place close to public transport, but still a quiet night, it's a good place. If you're looking for a mid#town party area (sleepless nights) you're off mark here, but the price of the accom may be interesting still. if you're on business and need to get up early, you won't find sleep easily because the hotel attracts customers keen on running, shouting and being noisy in general. If you look for CoVid security, the hotel has nice rules but nobidy gives a damn and nothing is enforced. If you have a room at 6th floor, to avoid the stuffed lifts is an inconvenient choice. In general. The place is clean and well maintained, tyhe crew is helpfulp. The immidiate neighbourhood is quiet but boring. If the guest next door snores you've rotten luck, if he doen;t, it's a good night. Given the price, one could do worse.

We stayed in the ”More space” apartment on the sixth floor. The apartment is really spacious and comfortable. Inside there is a table with four chairs, a bathroom with toilet and washing, another bathroom with shower, Washing and washing floors for towels and others, a kitchen with induction floor and washing machine, a comfortable bed with two single pillows, a large chair and a pump. The cleaning is good, but take care that the cleaning during the stay is payable. The towels are changed every 2-3 day. The kitchen is provided with salt, pepper, sugar and washing pills. 👍🏻 U-Bahn station is reachable through the street. Very comfortable to move. Furthermore, there are many restaurants and shops nearby, although I don't recommend baking-padding on the other side of the street. The supermarket (closed Sunday) is almost attacked. We have been very good. Only small bads the excessive heat and poor washing.

From Berlin Tegel Airport, you only need to take the bus to get there. When you get off at the station, you can take a look at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. The hotel is near the Kurfürstendamm. The room is large, the hardware conditions are generally in the middle of the law, relatively quiet.

Great location about 250 yards from a tram stop with frequent trams into the city center. Access is very automated - you are given key codes to access the building door and your room. Instructions are clearly presented in emails. We thought that the hotel would be in the middle of a nice neighborhood - we found cafes and pubs were fairly spread out across an area within 15 minutes walk. It was not as if the hotel is on a street where there are lots of shops and cafes, but streets that do offer that are about 5-10 minutes walk away. Shower pressure OK but not great. Bathroom was good, clean and functional. We paid for an upgrade large sized room - which worked out to an average sized room so go by the following: - regular room = small - large room = medium (normal US hotel room) There were no laundry facilities available. There is only one elevator which is relatively large (for Europe). Most of the time there was zero waiting time. Occasionally during maid service (middle of the day) waits can take longer. There is a good taxi drop off spot right in front of the hotel where they can wait and you can easily load. Beds were comfortable and soft and hard pillows were provided. There was a nice mini-kitchen with a coffee maker with provided coffee (but no milk). Overall fairly pleased with this hotel. The photos as ever make rooms seem larger than reality.
