You Get What You Pay For

My son and I needed a place to crash for a night. We checked in towards the later end of the check-in window, and never received the WiFi information. A little while later when I realized the woman who gave me the key never gave me the sign on information, I went out to the hall, but no one was around to help me, nor did anyone respond when I emailed, messaged, or called. There was also not any hot water. It ran for about 90 seconds, then never came back, even the next day when I tried to shower. Glad we only stayed one night. The room was decent, had high ceilings, so for a small room, it didn’t feel claustrophobic. No elevator, probably best for a solo traveler. Overall I got what I paid for, so all good.

Total disappointment

It was very uncomfortable. First of all I left the heater on and went out. 3 hours later I returned and the room was as cold as I couldn't imagine. That's when I realised the heater didn't work! And of course the owners were not available. In the morning before I left for my flight wanted to take a shower but to my shock the water was ice cold. Even after letting if flow for a couple of minutes. I must say I didn't enjoy my stay and I feel I didn't get my money's worth. I feel I was cheated. Also the pictures displayed on their profile are totally different from the way the rooms look. Totalle Verarschung

I rated the staff low on this because we never saw anyone! If you are looking for a cheap hotel that is one step above a hostel, is clean and in a good location then this is a good choice. However... things to keep in mind: The hotel is only staffed 1-6pm. If you arrive after 6pm (we arrived after midnight) you pick your keys up from the kebab takeaway two doors down. The room is not as roomy as the one in the pic. It was big enough for two daybeds and therefore big enough for us (we slept there but were out all day) but its not roomy. Similarly the bathroom involved working out how to move round it ie being able to open the door involved squeezing round the sink so if you're quite large or have mobility issues this may be less than ideal.The shower was also about 2 feet higher then the floor and involved quite a clamber up into it. If I needed a cheap bolthole for a couple of days I would def use again but for anything more I'd perhaps look elsewhere.

A great few days and nights in Berlin

The state of the front door on the street made me wonder if I'd made the right decision. Don't judge a book by it's cover. This guest house is run by really nice, English speaking, staff who made us very welcome. The room was basic but well presented. The bathroom was small but perfectly usable. Would I go back for another stay? Yes.

I had a good experience at this hotel. Though the outside wasn't the most attractive. The inside made up for it in that, the room was clean and bright. The staff were friendly. And it wasn't too far from some pleasant attractions and shops. It was good overall for the price you pay.

Great place, but distant from the city centre

The guest house was a great place to stay, our room was big, clean and we had everything we needed with good kitchen facilities. However some of our food got stolen from the communial fridge which we had labelled and the reception was not open 24 hours.

The worst "hotel" I have every stayed in

Only stay here is you are content with very basic accommodation with little to no service. We did not see anyone on reception for the entire duration of our stay. To check in we had to pick up our key from the kebab shop next door and were charged an extra 10 Euros for the privilege. The rooms are not cleaned unless you request it an pay extra. The bin in the communal kitchen was not emptied until it was overflowing (3 days after we moved in). There was a first aid box with nothing in it in the hall, I did not see a fire alarm and the owners would have had a sketchy idea of who was checked in as we certainly did not show any ID or fill out any paperwork. If I were Hotels.com I would remove this establishment from my website.

Cheap but comfortable.

I paid €119 for three nights in a single room. For that price the room was comfortable & a great location. The only drawback is you have to pay an extra €8 for your room to be cleaned but for a such a short stay I didn't need this. Cheap bakeries located nearby & there's a handy Woolworths next door where you can stock up on water & snacks.

The ladies who checked me in were lovely. But they only worked from 10am-6pm which wasn't overly helpful. Nothing fancy, particularly for the price. Pillows were very bad - I regretted not bringing my own. My main issue was there was no hot water the first night. For the second night I'd realised the water boiler was only on halfway so I turned it up all the way and left it to heat up while I went out. The water still only lasted about 5mins max before it got cold again. I'm lucky I didn't try to wash my hair because I wouldn't have had time before it got cold. I also had to sit sideways on the toilet because there wasn't enough room between the toilet and the wall to fit my legs. I have very short legs so this was a weird experience for me! Location was excellent though - it's less than half a block from a great tube line which makes it easy to get anywhere in Berlin.

Do not stop at city stop

I could not get in. Had to find another hotel. Turns out the keys were left at a kebab shop and would cost extra to pick up. Tried to get access the next day four different times. Sent a email still no reply. It looked abandoned ... every other building and hotel on the street looks nice, would like a refund. but hey no entry no contact. Just extra charge at a kebab shop....

A great value in a convenient spot

A smaller "boutique" type hotel with cozy rooms and great amenities (like access to a full kitchen and complimentary coffee/tea). Conviently located right on the border between two great neighborhoods and within 1 block or less of 2 different U-Bahn stations providing tons of transit options. This place was a perfect value for any traveler who enjoys their time exploring the city but wants a place where they can easily return to and relax. The staff was very kind, accommodating, and easy to communicate with.

Can see why it was the price it was

Completely understand that I booked on a budget however this is not a hotel but a glorified hostel. I had a single room but the beds/sofas were very uncomfortable and the tv reception was terrible. On the plus, the location for access to the rest of the city was great (if you dont mind the hookers around the corner at all times of the day). Very basic but did it's job. Rated 3 stars based on what I paid to what I got.

The city Stop Berlin is a guesthouse, not a hotel.

I had a terrible night at this guesthouse. The room was so small and noisy. The staff was very friendly but none of them stayed for the night at the guesthouse. In addition, there is no lift at the hotel.

Clean and comfortable hotel near the city. Very helpful staff. Access to a kitchen and free tea and coffee! Good free wifi and a great (and cheap) bakery over the road. Also a few metres from the U-Bahn. Highly recommend this hotel, thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
