Hotels near Department of Anatomy, Berlin

We stayed here for three nights during a Berlin city break. Good neighborhood, situated inside a larger complex, quiet premises. Online pre-checkin process which fast-tracked our stay at reception on arrival. But it was also a bit difficult to get along with the non-English speaking receptionist when we wanted to arrange an early check-out. The room was very spacious, clean, with large windows, furnished with utility in mind, not just to fill the space. Small balcony oriented toward the interior courtyard. Bed was comfortable, good night sleep. Nice bathroom, good shower pressure, nice and plentiful toiletries, good quality toilet paper, decent ventilation, but with some awkward smells at times. Enough wall sockets, including near the bed and including USBs. The WiFi connection was spotty, kept disconnecting. If you're late you have to ring and disturb the receptionist to come and unlock the front door, honestly felt like arriving late from the club and waking up my mom. Other oddities: large, tombstone shaped key rings, recorded bird songs playing at night. There are some supermarkets nearby, but there is also the possibility to buy water and snacks at reception. Decently priced compared to similar hotels in Berlin (and that doesn't mean it's not expensive). Would recommend and stay again.

We visited the hotel in April 2022 as part of a city trip. Unfortunately, we were not received particularly friendly at reception and only received our room cards after endlessly filling out documents with data that we had all entered when booking. Our room on the fourth floor was okay in terms of size and cleanliness. There was dirt on the floor of the shower wall, and the windows could have been cleaned. But it wasn't bad either, as we had a horrible view of a house wall and a shabby courtyard. Since the room was right next to the elevator, wall to wall, we had to endure a lot of elevator noise at night. I had my immune card plugged into the room power slot so my laptop could charge. In the evening my vaccination card was gone. It would have been better to put it on the table instead of stealing it... The breakfast was also okay, but not a highlight either. Baked rolls, some cold cuts and yoghurt as well as a fully automatic coffee machine with various coffee specialties. The stay was passable, price-performance ratio is unfortunately not right here. In the A&O Hostel there would have been more service for less money.

External environment: geographical location and convenient transportation. Hotel Service: warm and comfortable management level. Price of the hotel: reasonable cost performance and high value for money. Hotel consumption: Free Breakfast, moderate taste, rich options.

This period hotel is located over 2 buildings that are opposite each other. The reception staff were friendly, quick and efficient in both check in and check out. Our room was located in the building opposite reception, so just a short walk across a quiet street. The room was a fair size, clean, neat and tidy. The shower was a little small, but decent, clean and big enough for me (6'1”). There was no tea/coffee making equipment in the room, but that could be because we were room only. We didn't eat in the restaurant at all., so can't comment on the food quality. The hotel is located in a quiet side street, but close enough for a short walk to Berlin Mitte. We were not disturbed with any street noise at all (Room on 2nd floor) during evenings or nights. There are several good restaurants, and several little coffee shops/ breakfast places all within 100 metres of the hotel. It's easy to get to from the airport. Either take the FEX train to Berlin hbf and then a 12/15 min walk to the hotel, or take the RB23 or RE8 to Fredrichstrasse hbf and its a 3 min walk. Both take about 30-40 mins and cost 4 euro per person each way. We bought an ABC Zones travel card, which we think (and hope) was correct! Be aware that the FEX is hourly, so you'll have to time your journey. Highly Recommended.

I spent a superb four nights here with a family member (my sister) to explore the city of Berlin. Having stayed here before I was expecting the high standards of service, cleanliness and professionalism that I'd experienced before. I wasn't disappointed, from the friendly reception and booking in, to the standard if room, everything was as I recalled. The hotel is in remarkably short walking distance of all the major sites. A stroll down Schiffbauerdamm, on which the hotel is situated, will quickly take you to the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Holocaust Memorial and much much more. Unter den Linden, Checkpoint Charlie and Alexanderplatz are all equally well within walking distance and almost as interesting is the history that you pass along the way. All staff interact with the guests with a smile and you really feel that nothing is too much trouble. Checking out was a simple, painless affair and leaving our bags safely in the hotel for a couple of hours til we were ready for departure was equally no problem. This hotel is highly recommended by this traveller and his travelling companion. The next time I'm in Berlin - you'll find me here.

The interior is quite nice and definitely 4 star worth. I booked a non-refundable single room for two nights, which was nice and clean. Everything needed was there. I do have to admit two flaws: 1. The friendly lady at the front desk got the wrong information from the system so I has to pay a second time on site (prepaid at trip.com). Thankfully the night manager figured it out and refunded me the money before it have been booked. 2. I have chosen the Hotel ONLY because of the large pool to swim in the morning. Unfortunately the friendly lady (first contact) told me the pool is closed on the day of arrival, but I could use the spa instead for free today. It should open on next day, so I could do my morning swim. The next morning in the spa they told me, pool won't open today still due to maintenance reason. Both topics took me nearly one hour which is a no go for wasting customers time...

I went to this hotel for a mid-week vacation with my lovely daughter. With an UBER it was about 10 Euro to get to the hotel. Check-in was smooth, the older man behind the desk wasnt overly friendly but rather efficient and that was fine. We paid the tourist-tax and got one room-key for our room. We paid online about 80 Euro a night and we got a room with three beds at the back. The room was clean and simple. A desk with a big-screen TV, a shower-room with a toilet and a wash-basin. The shower was ok but we didnt like the shower-curtains. Also the water would be warm for about five minutes but it didnt bother us. Everyday cleaning with new linen and towels. In the morning you can have breakfast but you have to pay for it. We didnt use it. The hotel is set conveniently in the middle of Berlin near Kurfurstenstrasse and Dam. Near the U-Bahn and busses.

We were in Berlin for a football match of our VfL Bochum and chose the Estrel because it is centrally located and you can get everywhere from there. Not far from the Sonnenallee S-Bahn station, we were greeted in a friendly and courteous manner at reception. The rooms are OK, if a little shabby, unfortunately the air conditioning was not really usable, you would wish for more modern functions these days. The breakfast was completely fine. What bothered me a little was that it was very, if not too warm everywhere in the hotel. And that was when the outside temperature was 20 degrees, I don't want to know what it's like in midsummer. Overall everything was OK, but I wouldn't necessarily book the hotel again.

Everything without a problem. Good breakfast. Elevator. Only a few parking spaces. You can park on the street. Pleasant surroundings of single-family houses. Perfect for a short stay. Quiet, no parties.

By the time this incident happened, I have already completed a 4 days stay in the hotel and was willing to increase my stay. For that purpose, I went to Mrs. Hausweld and asked to please consult the availability and the price of the rooms for extra nights. In response, I was told that the final price, including the city tax for 3 additional nights would be 350 euros with breakfast included. Consequently, I was willing to go along with that reservation and requested to pay by card. Afterward, then Mrs. Hausweld offered me the POS terminal to go along with the payment, and the amount ascended to 419 euros. Due to that unexpected difference, I kindly asked for an explanation and was told that 419 euros were the final price, and if I was not happy with it I would need to leave the hotel immediately. As a result, I kindly refused to pay that amount and asked her to please consult the price for two nights instead of three. In response to that, the front desk manager told me that no more rooms were available for me and that I needed to check out now and leave the hotel. Following that conversation, I went on Booking.com and reserved a room for the same days, without breakfast, and surprisingly rooms were still available. Next, I went to the front desk and asked to please pay for my booking Mrs. Hausweld looked at me in an unfriendly manner and told me she could not find any reservation. After 5 minutes of searching, she could finally open my booking. Then, although I already provided a credit card in my booking, she asked me to show it to her because she was not believing that it was not mine. I answered that the card was in effect mine and offered her to have a look, but it did not have any numbers on it. So she got ahead to request me to write down my credit card details, including the CVV code, on a piece of paper as ”a security”. Afterward, I was asked again by her if I would like breakfast or not, despite I selected the no breakfast option on booking.com. A moment later I was offered the POS terminal to pay by card, which stated an amount 30 euros higher that the price I booked the room for on this site. Due to the reoccurrence of the same, previous situation again, I refused to pay and respectfully asked her why the price was higher again. Mrs. Hauweld answered in a very disrespectful manner that I asked her to have breakfast included and that I was confusing her again. After that situation, I kindly asked them to speak with her supervisor. She answered, that she had no supervisor and was the only person working in the hotel for the whole weekend. That experience left me in complete disbelief of her professionality and her being in that important role in the hotel. However, despite that bad experience with that particular staff member, I would like to note that the other front desk managers were very friendly and helpful at all times.
