I stayed at the Amaryl City Hotel in Berlin for some days with my partner. We urgently needed a room to stay in for four days and this hotel seemed to be a reasonable choice. Rooms are OK (our was) but you hear everyone walking through the hall. It is not expensive but we has some weird experience with a young receptionist - he wanted to reserve a room for us at the price a little bit higher (some 20%) than it was written on the web. After that we made a reservation on the web ourselves and the price was even lower (some 5%) than written on their website (!) We than turned back and packed in. For this reason we've preferred to talk to other receptionist later on. There were two others who were doing their job as professionals. Quite strange and bizarre experience for the European capital. The hotel was than quite decent for some days stay. But: be aware at suspicious receptionist.

125 Euros for a single room? Sorry, did you mean a single broom cupboard? The rooms are so small you couldn't swing a cat in it, although your average alley cat would be far too discerning to ever grace this place with their presence. At least the room had a tv, although request a remote control at your own peril as the porter seems to interpret this request as a euphemism for indecent proposals. And contrary to what the website advertises, the WiFi is not free.
Also be aware to have enough cash on you because this 'quirky' hotel requires advance payment in cash before you can actually see the room...

recommendation: check out!

We stayed here for a few nights in June 2007. We needed a base in berlin for a few days as we were heading to dresden for a conference. This hotel is more like a glorified hostel. Room was big but bathroom was gross, room very plain and not like the pictures on hotels.com again another misleading representation. The breakfast was ok filled the spot but my boyfriend hated it so he went without. It was a very old fashioned hotel reminded me of something from a WWII movie. The lift nearly killed us the first day so we used the stairs even with our heavy suitcases as we were worried we'd be decapitated!! The location was great really central. If i was a student looking for somewhere to put down the head for the night fine. But this hotel is not for a romantic break with your significant other!! The staff were fine i have to say.

We were caught up in the volcano problem in Berlin and this awful hotel took advantage of us. We decided that we could not stay there and they refused to give us our money back. In the end they gave us 10 euros each so they made 360 euros for doing nothing. Don't go to this hotel - there are many other hotels in Berlin and this one is unbelievably bad. We lost so much money and didn't even use any of the dreadful facilities.
