I don't see why a substantial deposit is required. This just adds complications. The apartment was a good size.

Having an apartment on the route of the Berlin marathon was great! Two U-Bahn lines are within walking distance, making getting around the city easy. The amenities are outstanding. As a frequent traveler, I deeply appreciated having a selection of tea, sugar, and salt & pepper in the kitchen.

Terrible for late check in. 2 am on the street
The hotel called me, where I told them of late check in. They promised to send a self check in link, which they didn’t . So I wasn’t able to check in at 2am on the street and have to find another hotel by myself. And I need to work next morning 7am. Avoid this hotel at all cost

We had a late check in, 9pm and there were no lights at the entrance of the property. Had I been by myself it would not have felt safe as the area around the property is rough. There was no way to call or speak to anyone. The first night we had to endure loud noise as there was a party next door. If you’re a female traveling by yourself, I definitely do not recommend this place.

When we walked into our 3 bedroom apartment for The 1st time we were Completely blown away by the decor, Space, cleanliness and overall feel of the place. It was truly a home away from home. Housekeeping did a fantastic job refreshing the space every day. The front desk staff was very helpful and courteous. I must note that the office/front desk is not open 24hours. They have more “regular” business hours. The location is perfect. There are all kinds of Stores and restaurant around, including grocery stores and pharmacy. We were gifted with a bottle of champagne and pastries to ring in the new year. We’ve stayed at many 5 star hotels around the world and this is by far one of favorite stays so far. Can’t sing enough praises for the Arabel. It was better than amazing! Thank you...

Location is a little far From everything. The actual hotel/apartments are very nicely kept. Staff in the office that there is is nice and spoke English. The only bad part is that the staff is not there 24hrs. They have their servicing hours at the door.

The place was easy to find. We arrived late at night, and had someone available to greet us. They provided us with information on places that were nearby for us to get a bite to eat. The staff was extremely friendly, spoke English, which is a huge plus, and were easily approachable. The place looked like a luxurious loft in LA, with a modern look. With 4 girls, the two bathroom & 3 bedroom apartment was the best option for us. I hope to visit Berlin again in the near future and would 100% stay at arabel Design apartments again! Highly recommend!

My go-to place in Berlin!
This was the nicest place I have ever stayed in in Berlin! It was a very welcoming, clean and spacious studio flat that was perfect for 3 nights in Berlin. Good location as it's well connected to the U-bahn. I will be trying to stay here every time I come to Berlin from now on.

A lovely comfortable home from home in Berlin
A great apartment style hotel, modern and tastefully decorated with plenty of space. We were in a one bedroom apartment, which had a comfortable double bed, plenty of wardrobe space, a spacious living room and little, yet well equipped, kitchenette. A micorwave was the only thing missing. There was a seperate bathroom with shower, but no bathtub. The Arabel is quite centrally located and the city centre is easily reachable by public transport. Bus stops and 2 U-Bahn stations are within walking distance.

We loved the location of this property, restaurants and stores nearby. We were pleasantly surprised to check in and find we were upgraded to a better apartment. A bigger apartment, complimentary. That doesn't happen very often anymore. Loved our stay and would go back in a heartbeat if given the chance. The amenities and bedding were fabulous, kitchen fully stocked with things you may need to cook etc and a mini bar with things for purchase. Free water and fruit were in the fridge when we arrived. Stay here, you'll love it.

Loved the property...great size and location. I only wish that there was an available washer/dryer to do laundry. They did offer a service but it had to be in by 1pm if we wanted it back the same day. We didn’t have a laundry bag so the gentleman at the front desk said one would be delivered to us. It never was brought up and then it was too late for our laundry to be done. Had to wash our clothes in the sink and hang them to dry so all is well that ends well — just one minor inconvenience. The breakfast each morning was also amazing.

Poor service, noisy, no air-con
There was no air-conditioning, which meant I needed the windows open for fresh air and to cool the apartment in 28degree+ days. This was noisy as the courtyard was unmanned by security and full of people partying and smoking all night. My room was not cleaned or serviced for 2 days, despite me requesting this There was also a large city tax added at the end of my stay, which I had not been informed about. Gentleman at reception was kind and tried to help as best as possible, but all in all a disappointing experience that I won't be returning too.

Nice hotel, quiet location
Lovely apartment, rooms generally large. Berlin was hot so every room had a large fan to help keep it cool... which they just about managed to do for comfortable sleeping. Little kitchen area is well appointed and served our needs, for coffee making and an easy breakfast of cereal one day. Nice having 2 bathrooms with 5 of us. All in all a great place to stay and an easy walk to the U train for access to all the major Berlin highlights.

Family trip to Berlin, our apartment location was excellent, breakfast was delicious and we’d fresh towels with apartment cleaned daily, My only criticism is there was no air conditioning, staff did provide us with three fans for the apartment but at times the heat was unbearable and sleeping was very difficult.

Beautiful Apartment
The apartment is beautiful. The staff is very friendly. Our apartment did not have an air conditioner. We were there in April, so it wasnt too hot yet. We couldnt really keep our windows open at night because there were loud groups hanging out in the courtyard coming and going late at night. Cant hear the groups if the windows are closed. The neighborhood felt safe but once when we came late in the evening we saw a working girl on the street. Despite the negative we would definitely stay in the apartment again.

Great, but may be not for families
The good: The room/apartment itself was nice, very top-notch. Comes with a near-full kitchen (microwave was missing, so, not for the lazy; but there is a full-size oven). Beds, pillows, furniture were all nice. Elevator, hallways, stairs, all nice. Bus and subway stations nearby. The bad: 1. sound insulation isn't top-notch. If you happen to have noisy neighbors, well, tough luck. The guests directly above our room was somehow always re-arranging furniture, so we could hear them dragging stuff around all night and early morning. 2. The wifi is good while you're on, but you get kicked out every now and then. Sometimes not possible to connect. But it's hotel wifi, it's par for the course. 3. Breakfast is a bit pricey. No buffet, only plated, and you have to order ahead of time. 4. There's a strip club/table dance club nearby. So might not be ideal if you're bringing kids with you (luckily my son is too young to mind stuff like that). Overall still not bad.

Great apartment, good quiet location.
A very well equipped apartment with a comfortable bed and good curtains ensuring a late lay in if you want to. Two U stations nearby for easy transport around Berlin. There is ample wardrobe space, a room safe and a kettle, toaster and nespresso coffee machine and a large fridge. There are several good eateries nearby such as Brasserie Lumieres and Oliv. The only negatives are the WiFi requires you to connect (via username and password) every time you discontinue or pause use, it can be VERY annoying and needs to be sorted - and the shower curtain lets down an otherwise perfect bathroom - replace it with sliding doors! As a suggestion for even greater comfort bathrobes and slippers would be a great addition.

It was great to have space for the whole family instead of squeezing into hotel rooms. The bath was luxurious and we would absolutely stay there again. Highly recommended for families.
