We loved the hotel! The location was great for us, it was exceptionally clean and had a friendly, helpful staff. If I return to Berlin, I will stay there again. We enjoyed the local restaurants and being in the neighborhood. Even though the breakfast was not included, it was worth the additional charge. Free WiFi was available in certain areas,... More

I've been coming to this hotel in Prenzlauer Berg for over 10 years now. It is perfect; good price; nice staff; good breakfast and ideally situated for the Mitte (2 trams whisk you to Friedrichstasse in less than 10 mins) and Prenzlauer Berg with its tree lined streets and many good restaurants.

Couple of nights in November - Berlin is great and Hotel worked well both public transport and by taxi. It's small in what was East Berlin typical small city centre layout great for in and out. Was a bit mousy with the teams but also convent because of the trams.

Super nice and helpful staff. Room was very clean and pretty spacious for the money. Also great location right in Berlin Mitte, with many shops, restaurants and public transportation close by. They offer a lot of things for families with kids too.

The Kastanienhof Hotel is well appointed, spotlessly clean with excellent transport connections. It is surrounded by wonderfull cafés and restaurants. Above all the staff and management are very welcoming and friendly. They go the extra mile for their English guests. I feel at home in the Kastanienhof. Dr. Garry Browne, London

If you want to go into town just jump on the trams.The hotel was clean and good value, the staff were... More

There is really not much to like about this place. It is located in the former East Berlin and it lacks character and class - its that simple. 1. I stayed in September 2012 and visitors should know there is construction going on next door and across the street - big projects that are super noisy and they start early... More

Great location- the surrounding area is full of interesting bars, shops, markets to wander around and visit. Transport superb- trams are great and its only a short walk to more central Berlin. The staff were good- very professional but helpful and went out of their way to make sure our stay was good. Breakfast is excellent- massive choice of food... More

This hotel was close to the city transportation and is an older hotel. It is a family run hotel. You get what you pay for. Or should I say what is included in the Rick Steve's tour. Saying that I expected a hotel with a little more comfort and cleanliness.
