“Good location and price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2010

The East Side Hotel is a good Hotel for the price. It is in a trendy neighborhood full of nightlife and convenient to the train station. Our room had lovely view of the parking lot of a construction equipment company, but I don't travel to stay in the hotel room either. The only problem is that they're moving equipment pretty early each morning. The hotel is reasonably clean, not perfect, but you're not paying for a four star hotel either. I would skip the breakfast. It says they have wifi in all the all rooms, but we could only get anything useful in the lobby or bar. One word of caution, there's no air conditioning and no screens, which is not unusual, but it can be a problem if you are outrageously allergic to insect bites like me it can be a problem.

“Great Value Trendy Budget Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2010

I paid 60 Euros for three adults including breakfast. The rooms are large and clean with bath and a shower. TV in the room has premium Sky channels for 11.5 Euros per day. FREE high speed wi fi in every room. Good food and bar, 3.2 Euros for a large beer. Friendly, helpful staff, great views of the wall and the river. Expect road noise if staying at the front overlooking the wall.
I highly recomend this Hotel, fantastic vaue for money.

“Don't book via DayDreams (Hotelbon)”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Don't let the cheap menu's fool you (max. 17 euro), because if you book via Daydreams (or Hotelbon) you get charged a fixed price for breakfast and diner of 43,50 euro per person. This is approx. twice the price if you eat a la carte, including drinks. They don't tell you this in advance. The surprise is yours when settling the account.
Beside this we experienced an apprentice cook, because one evening the dinner looked and tasted different. Which was confirmed by the waiter.On three evenings there was no salad available.
The mattresses in our room were rather thin, one could feel the springs through them.

We complained to Hotelbon (Daydreams) without avail. They say they are not responsible for the product they sell.

“Being part of the neighbourhod...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2009

Easy-going small trendy hotel with lots to do in the area. The reception and restaurant staff were very helpful and friendly.

Ask for a room facing the street... not overly noisy, and a great view of the East Side Gallery of the Berlin Wall (the other side faces a parking lot).

The room was a good size, including a large bathroom, so no issue trying to put stuff away as to not trip over it.

The restaurant got 2 thumbs up for its breakfast buffet and evening meals as well (I say this with confidence since my wife is a trained chef and she really loved it!).

“Horrendous!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2009

At first glance, my room looked tidy. But when I looked further, I noticed brown and red stains all over the mattress, cracks up the walls and a dirty toilet. After my first night, I woke up with a rash and was really itchy. I asked my collegues, and they also said they had suddenly became itchy...
There was also a number of items stolen from the bedrooms. For example, my course leader's nintendo ds which belonged to his 5 year old daughter was stolen along with money and clothes.
After checkout, me and my group had to wait around for our coach. We were approached by the hotel staff with a list of 'things wrong with our room' and were demanded to pay these fees. Some of the things included were 50 euro for dirty floor, 50 euro for a small crack in shower... these things were out of order and stupid as my group were very responsible adults and would never mistreat the hotel rooms. I found the place disgusting and would not recommend going there. You will be made to pay for things which are broken in the hotel room, even if you did not break it.
Do not be fooled by the pictures on their websites!!! They DO NOT look like that. This hotel is disgraceful. I have never been so ripped off.
