Lovely place to stay - close to public transport and a grocery store nearby - loved that there was a little kitchenette in the room. As it's next to the railway line there is regular noise from trains - and there were building works opposite - however earplugs did the trick. In every other way it was a very comfortable and convenient place - would stay again.

The property is located right next to a sharp bend in the railroad tracks, making it extremely loud 24/7. To make matters worse, there is no air conditioning. On hot summer nights, you are forced to choose between suffocating from the heat with the windows closed, or being kept awake by the piercing screech of metal train wheels on the rails.

Excellent stay here between 8th - 11th June. All staff so welcoming and facilities clean! It’s about a 18-20 minute walk into Alexanderplatz along a main road so you can’t get lost! Less than ten minutes from Osbahnhof Station too for travelling around. Lovely Holzmarkt area opposite offering drinks, street food and chilled vibes by the Spree. Also 15 minute walk from the East Side Gallery. Only advice from me was the room was a bit light in the evening due to a thin curtain and leaving the window open led to a lot of noise from the train line and construction work opposite. If you’re a light sleeper then bring an eye mask! 😂 Overall superb!

THEY DONT HAVE BEDS! The bed is a sofa with a sheet on and it hard as a board. Everything else is great but the main thing you want in a hotel is a BED and THERE IS NO BED.

Good location, cosy rooms with value for money, especially with the private kitchen. If you are a light sleeper I would suggest you go somewhere else, as the rooms are quite noisy with the trains going by plus a very persistent ventilation just above the bed. At least in my room. But if not - go for it!

Will recommend

I stayed here for a couple of nights, and it was just what I needed and wanted. Clean and fresh accommodations. Friendly staff. Easy accessibility. I see some mentioning noise from the trains/trams, but I had no such issues at all. Will recommend staying here!

The hotel is nice and clean. The windows and storm windows do a good job of blocking light and sound which was key for my jet lag! The hotel is near an area with homeless people but none of them bothered me. I enjoyed the scooters being easily accessible from the hotel.

The kitchen + the dishwater all included are truly a gems in this apartment TV compatible bluetooth Ground floor has its pro and cons, like direct access to the street (be careful for insecure times), some insects can enter the apartment and crawl to the bed. Air conditioning half-working. Sometimes the wall is soundproof but we can still the neighboors door bangs or the neighboors' showers

I had a great stay here! I initially booked for 5 nights but ended up extending for another 3 nights. The studio was very spacious, very clean and had a small kitchenette for basic cooking. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient walking distance to a few attractions and also very close to the train station. Would definitely stay again especially for long term stays!

Everything was amazing, only slight downside was I was lucky/unlucky enough to be staying in Berlin during a heatwave, so the lack of air conditioning made it difficult to sleep, but generally any other time this wouldn’t be an issue. The facilities were fantastic and the staff very helpful, I’d definitely stay again.

Room was clean, new and stayed cool even during hot weather. It had everything including a kitchen but it was tiny. I booked a room with a terrace / outdoor seating but it was on the ground floor facing the bike parking, so I never used it and kept the curtains closed. Location was great, only 2 mins walk to the cool riverside area with cafes and bars.

Comfortable hotel at reasonanle prices.at a time when everywhere else put them much higher than normal. Great location with a lot of things that are in walkable distance. Only the heating seemed a bit badly adjusted despite the temperatures below zero. But all in all a very good option.

Nice new very clean hotel at a decent price. Very well run with very helpful friendly staff. A youthful trendy vibe. The only drawbacks are the immediate area around is pretty dead. Residential, dark, and quiet. Also there is a large railway line right next to the hotel which is noisy. And its a low energy building, which is great, but there was no air con in my room. It wasnt unbearably hot or anything, but it wasnt cool either.

Nice stay with small kitchenette and clean bathroom. Bed was not comfy and rock solid unfortunately. Very loud outside due to the train station next door so you can’t leave the windows open due to the noise. Since it was very hot during our stay it was quite uncomfortable sleeping as there is no aircon and too loud to open the windows. Not enough toiletries too. Overall okay stay, was near the train station and east side gallery but could have been a lot better.

It was a very good stay. Unfortunately the first night was not good because it was very hot in the room so I had to ask for a fan. It would’ve been better service if they had just provided a fan to begin with considering the heat and no air conditioning in rooms. I also had to ask for another pillow as the one they provided was too small. Once I had the fan and pillow I had a very good stay. There is a building site in front of the building but don’t fret, the sound proof windows and shutters work well. Very good location to access trains and walkable to city centre.

New hotel, noisy environment and super firm bed

The hotel is new and offers some great amenities and the staff tries to be helpful. However, the noise level from the S-Bahn is high and every S-Bahn passing by will be heard from the room - from the early morning til the late night. The mattresses are super hard, and after I asked for a more softer mattress, I only got a 0.5cm thick topping for the mattress - not that helpful. Needless to say sleep was an issue - and that is the most important aspect of the hotel. Otherwise, the hotel is very clean, good amenities and well situated in central Berlin.
