“Cozy Hotel & Friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2011

I went to Berlin to take a look of this beautiful city & visit a friend. When i arrove around 2 am after a long work & travel day. As soon as i get to the hotel there was Roxy at the front desk, she was really friendly & inmediatly she gave me the keys of my clean & cozy room. I was really surprised about it because i expected to get in trouble with the check in & check out times but fortunelly it was non a problem in this hotel.

By the time i got into the room i was really happy everything was clean & also had a good stuff, the bed was excelent, i sleept like never i did.

The breakfast was really full & also good stuff a real German breakfast i loved it!

The location is good just at nights i found a bit complicated or longer to get there by the public transportation but not impossible.

In my opinion i got more that i expected by the price.I have to tell that i work in a luxury 5 stars hotel & trust me that im able to qualify this hotel as a good hotel. i recommend this hotel to people whos looking for a low cost & clean hotels.

I thak all the staff who was really friendly & made me feel like at home in my short stay in this beautiful city.

“A Penny saved...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2009

The best thing about this hotel is its cleanliness.
However, having said that I slept with the window open to rid the musty smoke smell.
Located in no-where's vill(suburbs) it's a convenient 20 tram into central Berlin.
Great for backpackers/footy trips.

“Really good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2008

We spent 2 nights at this hotel and found that the room was perfectly adequate and clean. The staff were very friendly and went to a lot of effort opening the bar for us when we arrived (even though we were the only customers) and lighting all the torches and candles in the outside courtyard.

The breakfast was very good and the location was good to travel into the centre of Berlin using the trams.

We found this hotel excellent value for money.

“Tourists Avoid this hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2007
3
people found this review helpful

Tis is possibly the worst hotel we have stayed in. The hotel is located above a billiard hall, the rooma start on the second floor and there are no lifts. The entance and the stairs are dirty and littered. Our bedroom was not cleaned during our stay. A request for an extra pillow resulted in a folded quilt, without a pillow slip.. The buffet breakfast food was left uncovered. The table cloths were dirty.

The bed was comfortable and the hotel is convenient for the City Centre with good public transport but that is all that can be said for it.

Stayed June 2007

“Nightmare in Berlin”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2006
5
people found this review helpful

Unfortunately we stayed in this so called 3* hotel for four nights during the World Cup. We had booked a triple room and upon our arrival we found a double bed with bed linen that was covered in human hair (we think) and stank, a single mattress on its own lying in one corner of the room that had bed linen of the same odorous quality, and lying in the other corner a double mattress with no bed linen. The towels that had been left for us smelt like they hadn't been washed for weeks!
After complaining several times we eventually got bed linen for the third mattress and towels that although not smelly, were threadbare and tatty. That wasn't the end of the nightmare though. Imagine being woken up on the second morning with a flea hopping across my cheek. Enough said!
Needless to say we would have changed hotels however everywhere in Berlin was totally booked for the World Cup.
And finally, just to rub salt into the wound, upon arriving home I found my credit card had been billed for the complimentary shuttle to the airport!!
Beware, you have been warned!
