Absolutely not recommended.The lift is broken and the information sign is attached in a crumpled transparent cover.Room door cannot be closed properly (always a crack open) Bathroom cabinet broken (only one mirror left.) 4! No cleaning or towels changed for days.Inhumane smell in the bathroom and room.I borrowed a blanket and towels from friends in Berlin.Then immediately throw it in the trash!

If you're expecting high standards, you're completely wrong here. For us who were only there to sleep and “freshen up” it was enough. I can't write for all the rooms. Our room was very clean, you can see that there's a lot of traffic in the furniture (chairs, beds), the bathroom door was totally warped and could only be opened and closed loudly and inevitably it was rough Sleeper awakened. Personally, I felt the bathroom was in need of renovation - but everything worked! No fridge in the room, no hairdryer - that didn't bother us. What we found very annoying was the broken elevator, thank God we're good on foot and climbing stairs wasn't a problem. The entrance and exit to the parking garage is extremely narrow, I can well imagine that many people have damaged their cars there. Parking costs 9 euros per day and you pay directly at the hotel. We didn't need the car once for excursions, as you can easily get to Alexander Platz or the TV tower with the bus 200 or M29 in the immediate vicinity and the hop on hop off buses are there too.I deliberately only rate the service with 1 star, not because it was bad, but because we simply didn't need any and so I can't say how I felt about it. We also didn't eat or drink anything in the hotel - we looked after ourselves.

Location is good. Staff was polite. Flair of an old hostel. It stank in the hallway and in the room. Room didn't have a door to the bathroom. Basically, the bathroom and bedroom were one room... In another hotel that would have been fancy. Here it's just small and shabby. I'm not coming back here.

Conclusion in advance: Terrible!!! I've known this hotel for at least 15 years and I've been there a few times a while ago. At that time it was a well-located, inexpensive hotel with simply furnished, clean rooms. Nothing has been renewed there for what feels like 10 years. The rooms are old and dirty (see photos) in a way that shows that they don't want to make things better...! The bed was uncomfortable, the pillows old and lumpy. The bathroom was bad, the bathroom cabinet was disgustingly dirty (here, too, I refer you to the pictures). The rooms are extremely noisy, the windows do NOT keep out the street noise - this is a HUGE problem with the adjacent main street and light sleepers. The staff are not very friendly, and the broken elevator doesn't make it any easier to reach the upper floors with heavy luggage. It's a shame how a hotel in such a good location can be so run down. We won't be coming back and we'll give you the advice: KEEP YOUR FINGER AWAY!

Very dirty hotel. Breakfast is advertised on the website but unfortunately there was no breakfast. Bed linen was dirty. Cushions on the sofa had several stains. Holes in the curtains etc...

I hadn't read the rest of the Google reviews before booking. Until shortly before check-in.First of all, I would like to thank everyone who shared their experiences here. Thanks to you I was at least able to prepare myself for something. Because when booking, the hotel really didn't look that bad.Well, the first reviews were confirmed during check-in.Incredibly communicative and warm welcome 😉The rooms themselves weren't bad. Sleeping here for one night is definitely doable if you don't have high expectations and already have athlete's foot.An entertainment program at its best catches the eye here. I think my old iPod Movie had a larger display. You have to say, we weren't there eitherTV here.And if you really get bored in this hotel, the neighbors offer a very entertaining program 🫱🏼🫲🏾So just let yourself be surprised and enjoy your stay 🫶🏼We had fun and we're doing well

So bad... you have to experience it! :)When we entered our room, we were greeted with a warm welcome - in the form of a stray gummy bear making itself comfortable on the dirty carpeted floor.The room lighting was… well, creative. The five-socket ceiling lamp had an almost avant-garde atmosphere, as two of the light bulbs were simply missing and the remaining lamps in the room appeared to be on vacation - they weren't even plugged in. Maybe a subtle reference to energy efficiency? This could at least be found on a sticker in the bathroom (“Please do not have towels washed every day”…. Of course this also saves manpower ;))The bathroom also surprised us with a particularly intense smell - freshly painted, but somehow strange. I suspect that the brush played a more important role here than one would initially assume. Instead of removing the mold, they probably decided on the easier method: paint over it and hope that no one looks closely. Practical!The hotel was also particularly open when it came to noise protection – literally. Thanks to the non-soundproof windows, we were able to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city at full volume. Be it street noise, happy night owls or the occasional horn honking, you really never felt alone.A particular highlight was the lack of smoke detectors. Nothing says “safety first” like deliberately leaving out life-saving technology. An adventure in itself if you're planning a romantic evening by candlelight - as long as you don't look at the carpet too often.The reception was also an experience in itself. We were greeted there with a charismatic mix of disinterest and displeasure. A friendly “Hello” was probably asking too much, but at least we now know that you can check in without any conversation. After all, communication is overrated.All in all, a stay that you won't soon forget - even if for the wrong reasons. If you appreciate adventure and surprises in your hotel room, this is the place for you!

Stayed in room 401 - 4th floor while my mate stayed in a room nearby. importantly to the left when out the elevator area.My room was okay, bed was comfortable, shower had decent pressure, a fan to keep you cool. what more can you ask for in a cheap hotel.Only negatives were that the socket on one side of the bed was detached from the wall and the toilet was impossible to use and not paint and the shower was small.My mates room was worse, the toilet had a ‘platform’ in which to inspect your work, which mine didn’t. A spring was poking out of his mattress, the bathroom was dirty. No fan. TV did not work and towels were stained.It’s important to note that since we went left out the lift and not right, we weren’t near the strip club and we didn’t hear the musicWhen we arrived at the hotel, the receptionist was having lunch at a table, she told us to wait 5 minutes in which she ate her lunch near us before serving.Overall, not great but if you need a place in a pinch and needs to be cheap then yes, but it shouldn’t be your first choice. It’s a gamble on which room you get!remember to ask for rooms on the left side once you get past the elevator area to avoid the night club music/ noises.

Bad beds, the room was a bit clean so that was good. Only one socket in the ceiling so difficult to charge one's mobile. Cannot be recommended. Deadly elevator it shakes and the floor moves.Didn't feel quite safe there.But at least a good location

No sockets 🤯 Finally found one in the ceiling. There were lamps and a floor fan, but they were not powered because there were no sockets.

DISASTER! ATTENTION. The positive thing about visiting the hotel is that it was only one night. The hotel is a complete disaster from the hygiene to the staff. The room was dirtier than the street next to the hotel (where people like to show off loudly about cars that don't belong to them). We got a new room after complaining which wasn't really any better. Do yourself a favor and get a sleeping bag that costs less and is cleaner. All joking aside, but please really look into what else it's best to avoid this area.

City hotel, somewhat old and lacking in maintenance, rooms somewhat fair in terms of cleanlinessThe worst thing is the bald receptionist with glasses, not because of his physique but because he is rude and rude.Totally dispensable hotel.

Pros: the good location it has. You can walk to the center. Several buses stop right outside the door and the metro is 3 minutes away. The room was good, beds comfortable and clean.Cons: It is true that the hotel is a little old and the bathroom needs remodeling. They don't provide shampoo/gel/dryer and the neighborhood during the day is no problem but at night it's better not to walk around it.

The stay here was a nightmare, terrible area with unsavory people wandering around the hall, very dirty rooms (in my opinion it's also an hourly hotel). …

Hello my love .!!I can't understand these bad reviews at all.Four of us slept in a room and it was like a palace, we all felt like kings even though we were just simple football fans.What particularly struck me was the pleasant smell every time I entered the hotel, from all the flowers that were spread around the room.Then we were welcomed so nicely by an extremely friendly receptionist that we immediately felt at home.Then we go up to the rooms; in a state-of-the-art lift (perfect for older people as you can lean on it)When we got out of the elevator we couldn't wait to finally enter our imperial rooms.!!The magnificent sight when we entered the room can hardly be put into words.From the most comfortable beds to the most modern TVs, everything was just perfect.!!Unfortunately the time is already over and we have to go back to our humble home.!!I can only recommend this palace to everyone, please enter this castle and feel like royalty.!!I'll definitely come backThanks to the great team in this palace(Hotel)

I was here with a few friends over the weekend and I have to say I have mixed opinions about the hotelNegative: Disco and strip club right next to it, so it was often louder at night, which wasn't helped by the thin walls. That's why I woke up 2-3 times every night. In addition, the whole building is very noisy. The room door only stays closed if you lock it from the inside. The noise from the street can already penetrate unhindered through the windows. At night I sometimes checked whether the window was actually closed after the street noise was so loud.Positive: Great connection to public transport as there is a bus stop right outside the front door. Rooms are cleaned daily (beds made, trash cans emptied). Price performance for the location top.Conclusion: If you're not looking for luxury but rather looking at your wallet, the hotel is recommended, even if you plan to explore Berlin's club scene in the evening, it's highly recommended after you at least don't notice the noise of the nearby clubs. The reception is always staffed, so a checkout at, for example, 3 a.m. is also possible
