Wilmersdorfer Straße Metro Station: only 3 minutes away! (700 feet by foot)

We got an annexe - a separate house altogether. On the first floor, so can’t bring too much luggage. Tea/ coffee bags for the morning we hv been nice to have. Breakfast was good. The annexe was a little strange / dormitory like in construction . Large main room though. And clean

Sangita, India

Very good connections with airport and city center.

Milan, Serbia

The staff was very kind and there for any questions or requests. The room was just as in the pictures and the breakfast was really good. The location is close to public transport and restaurants and shops.

Aleksandra, Serbia

Location is pretty good - close to S and U bahn stops (5 min walk) Some receptions are really helpful and nice Breakfast is good

Oleksandr, Ukraine

Location, super clean room, price , comfortable bed! Close to wonderful restaurants ! Incredible. Breakfast ! Great showers ! Super quite on the back side

Gregory, United States of America

Location, WiFi was super fast, spotless clean , enormous breakfast , kind staff ! Short walk from U-Bahn and S-Bahn

Gregory, United States of America

First room was small, smelly, dirty. They moved us to an apartment next door for more money — the apartment size was good, but bathroom dirty.

Maria, United States of America

The breakfasts were good for what we've paid, with a nice choice of products. The neighborhood was really nice with a short walk distance to s-bahn and subway stations. Many shops in the area. The apartment was clean. The free towels and toiletries were a nice addition.

Gregor1994, Denmark

The room was small but perfect for a solo traveler. I arrived early and the hotel held my baggage so I could explore before checking in.

Old furniture in the family room and lack of enough power sockets. Luckily I had the external battery with me, so I had no issue charging my phone. But if you have a room with 3 or 4 beds, you should have at least 3-4 sockets in the room. In the single room the furniture was okay, nothing less than it should be. The last thing, some of the mattresses were pretty bad.
Great location, very well connected from the Charlottenburg S-Bahn station. You can get, for example, to Potsdam in no-time. The staff is helpful.

The staff were sooo rude, and the place is really old. The staff never apologised to me for any inconvenience despite complainng on 3 of 5 days of my stay. I officially complained through Booking.com however the hotel and staff said that I was lying so I have still not recieved an apology or ANY recompensation. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, even if the staff were replaced. The bathroom light never worked over 5 days, so they gave me a desk lamp that I had to use in the sink to shower. Disgusting hotel and staff.

We didn't have hot water 2 days. Although we told the staff about the problem and they promised to fix it, they didn't. They actually fixed it the day we left the hotel.
The breakfast was rich. The location is very good ~ 20-25 mins from the center with a public transport. The bed was very comfortable.
