“Great location, beautiful hotel with nice sayings on the walls. Every room has artwork on the walls.”

7.6Verified guest

“The location was excellent—very close to the Reichstag, U- and S-Bahn, and Brandenburg Gate. Our comfort double room had an electronic key card, a work desk, and a flat-screen TV with cable channels.”

7.6Verified guest

“Staff were friendly and helpful. The lobby was fun and interesting, with a quirky staircase. The room was small but comfortable, a pleasure to come back to after a day out. I loved the gentle art in my bedroom and the poster-lined hallways. The bathroom was spotless. Being near Friedrichstrasse station was a big plus. I'd definitely recommend it.”

7.6Verified guest

“The location for visiting historic Berlin was fantastic, just a 10–15 minute walk away. Bus transport from the airport was convenient. Getting to other parts of the city meant a 10–15 minute walk to the nearest subway, which was fine. The hotel was hip but respectful of its history. Even without an attached bathroom, the shared one was always very clean—almost like a private bathroom just down the corridor.”

7.6Verified guest

“We had a really good stay in Berlin. The very central location of this low-cost hotel was a bonus. We could walk to a bakery and supermarkets.”
