Apartments am Brandenburger Tor  

The best feature of the apartments was their location, so near all the most historic and interesting parts of Berlin.The surrounding area also has a good selection of cafes resturants and bars.

The main criticism I would have of the apartments are the lack of proper curtains. The curtains especially in the main bedroom were practically non-exsistant, the result of which we felt as if we were in a goldfish bowl when we were in the room! Explanatory information about the apartment should have been made available to us eg where to leave bins, how to use cooker etc. I also think that some basic utensils should be provided, like a sharpe knife, and a bottle opener and extra toilet rolls. Lighting in the bathroom needs to be made a bit brighter.

The location was very good. Very spacious apartment. Basic essentials for the kitchen were sufficient.

The carpet is indoor/outdoor making it ugly and it was stained in various places throughout the apartment. Needed to keep windows open for air because the apartment would not smell pleasant otherwise. Perhaps this is due to the awful carpeting. Walls are too white. Shower curtain is too small. Staff is very direct and cold. We stayed four nights and ran out of toilet paper, the staff said we would need to get our own. Did not like this because I would have chosen to get a hotel over the apartment but in Berlin they only allow two people per room making this a double expense. When asked for a taxi for our departure they sent us to the Hotel Adalon. Since we were four person and each had luggage the taxis that were available were too small. We asked the hotel to call us a bigger taxi and they did. Why couldn't your staff be more accommodating?

Location; spaciousness; quietness; convenience of self-catering -- all of these were big plusses for us. The staff tried to deal with the one thing that would prevent us from renting there again, including offering to move us to a different unit. It was our mistake to not take up that offer; we thought the problem that we found (see below) when we entered could be sloved and didn't want to move after settling in. It was worse than we thought.

One thing that would make it impossible to stay there again: the bathroom reeked of urine; the toilet had not been properly cleaned (badly urine-stained) and was 'wobbly'. We had to buy air freshener to use before using the bathroom and toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the urine stain in the bowl.

The staff was helpful. They allowed us to check in early and leave our bags at the Reception after we had checked out. Location was very convenient, a supermarket was close, and so were the subway station and city tour buses. The apartment was spacious.

Even though the staff was flexible, the check-in and especially check- out times were rather inconvenient. The apartment was dated and did not live up to our expectations raised by the promotional picutres on the internet.

The booking staff were fre=iendly and plurilingual. The check in was open far longer than indicated by bookings.com and the process was simple. The area is safe and relatively free of noise given the location.

The apartment is large and space matters. There is a well equipped kitchen with everything one needs. The beds are comfortable and the pillows - soft. There is a short walk to the supermarket "Hit", which has great food. Position in town is very good, but it is not for people who like lots of little cheap local restaurants, like in Kreuzberg or Prenz Berg. Overall it is an excellent place, especially for families who need space and cooking facilities.

We bought an access to the internet and it did not work most of the time. The reception returned our money very happily, which indicates that the problem is common. I think the hotel needs to look into a proper access to the web. Otherwise one feels really cut off and, unlike in the cheap areas, there are no internet cafes around.

Apartments am Brandenburger Tor site at the best location, close to center of city and many sight see places... Few step away from bus , train station, 2 mines away walk from s, u underground, also have lots of restaurants around it ( Chinese, steak house, vegetarian, cafe......etc) Very nice and neat Apartment, basically got everything you need for cooking yourself.. But no daily house keeping clean service, so you need to prepare your own toilet paper for longer than 2 days starting.. It's a very nice place for few friends to share with and for a family to stay!

No daily house keeping clean service, so you need to prepare your own toilet paper for longer than 2 days starting -no wifi internet service !! very dis-pointed ... REAlly need to improve asap!! Might lack of young and modern customers!

The appartment was big, comfortable , clean and had all the equiptment you need. We had a fantastic view from the bedroom window and the location is just great! I can just recomend this!

Cheap but never going to be here again !!!

The room ok but the build was like for homeless. The picture that they have in the website was too good compare to the real one. I have seen the flat screen tv in the website once we got there tv was really old fashion tv. The room was bad smell. The bed was not comfortable at all ! The wash machine was really old and after wash my cloths, my cloths get a lot smaller. The internet cost only 5 Euro however, it was dam slow !!! I tried to open one website, it took like bloody 10-15 mins. As I mention good thing about this was cheap - but I will never stay there again !

It is very clean and comfortable, few steps from Unter der Linden and Brandemburger tor.

Everything was Ok. The address you get at the webpage is from the main office. After checking on you must walk a little bit longer (no big deal).

Best organization of leasing the appartments - the office is the next door. A very spacious flat with well-equipped kitchen and bathroom (dish-washing machine, fan, washing machine, cooker, new tableware) and quite good furniture in bedrooms. We had 2-bedrooms flat with a nice dining-room and a kind of verandah. Close to the appartments are a supermarket and lots of cafe and restaurants. It is possible to leave luggage in the office after check-in. Before check-in it is nessesary to sign the contract.

The location could be unpleasant for somebody - windows come to Jewish memory monument, which looks like a cemetery. The contract to sign is in deutsch - and for understanding they give a translation in english (separate copy).

It's within walking distance of a ton of tourist attractions. The u & s stations are within 150 yards since I was in the corner by the british embassy, but the complex is very big and you could stay slightly farther away depending on their availability. The price was reasonably low and our apartment was spacious. I enjoyed having a kitchen and would stay there again.

Bed was a little hard and the tv is older. Inside lighting is kind of dim at night. No real big complaints as we didn't spend a fortune and it fit our needs well.
