or the money - 5 beds
The front desk was not open at all twice when we went to check in. A third time we went back and they were kind but no one spoke any English. I couldn’t communicate needs (extra towels or glasses). The location says Prenzlauer Berg but this isn’t in the center of that cute area. It’s more on the outskirts. That said this place was clean, quiet (our room was beyond a courtyard) and could sleep 5 of us so we would be willing to stay there again. It seemed a good value for the money though I went in with my expectations a bit high.

Overall it’s a good value stay, location is excellent and check in was easy. The place itself is a little outdated and the pillows are terrible.

If you can afford better, I'd suggest doing so.
We needed a place for specific dates on short notice. This was our first "Pension" style hotel so I guess I didn't know what to expect. For the price, I was expecting more. That being said, service was helpful and friendly, the place was clean. The bed was terribly uncomfortable and the wifi was non-existent in our room

Excellent hotel great location.
Hotel is excellently located next to the scönhauser Allee subway, easily accessed in 45 mins from shoenfeld sfx airport without changing lines. It is advisable to download Berlin transport app, found it very helpful for getting around on subway to other tourist attractions. Berlin Wall memorial is a 1.5 mile walk from hotel.

A nice little place to stay in Berlin
I was going to arrive quite late so I tried phoning the hotel to let them know but it was incredibly difficult to communicate over the phone as I did not speak German, I tried asking if they spoke English but they did not understand me. When I got to the hotel however, the level of English was excellent and check in was quick and easy. I was told I had to pay on check out. I had a single room which was a good size, the bathroom was spacious enough. The room was clean and comfortable - the pillows were really nice! The room also had an outdoor terrace that I didn't use but it was useful to leave the door open while I was in the room to cool down. While it was hot during my stay the ceiling fan kept me nice and cool. The area was very good, with a few bakeries and essential shops - there's even a €1 shop just around the corner from the hotel. The U-bahn station is really close and it's easy to get connections to the central station or anywhere in Berlin. I'd definitely stay at this hotel again, it fits its purpose perfectly.

Budget digs in the heart of Berlin
I really like this hotel and would stay here again no problem. The only caveat is wireless internet however I doubt if most people staying here are trying to actively work online instead of exploring.

ok stay
I know that European standards are different than North American, but the room was a bit small, bed was ok. Staff was friendly and the room was in the inside of the building, which was very quiet. The location was good with very easy access to public transportation. I'd recommend this hotel if the price is good, otherwise I'd try somewhere else.

Easy to get anywhere in Berlin by public transport
Interesting area to walk through. Some beautful restoration work has been done. Language is probably not an issue, Almost everyone speaks some English, and many other cultures are represented in the area around the "Gasthaus". Although more younger people frequent this area, we felt quite comfortable walking. Just be aware of your surroundings.

Fantastic value in a great neighbourhood
Loved it!! The hotel is conveniently located in a "hinterhaus" off a main street meaning that the room is nice and quiet at night. Our room on the ground floor even had a door outside to a little courtyard with table and chairs. This would be fantastic if the weather was nice and sunny to relax a while. Nearby there are plenty of good cafes and restaurants but do remember to check out the hotel buffet breakfast before wandering around outside as it represents great value. Free wifi too!!

Easy walk from train station, clean, quiet
The location was perfect to walk to/from the train. Numerous restaurants, cafes and shops line the streets. The place itself was clean & simple. I stayed in a single room with two beds. The room was fine for one but may be a bit cramped for two--although perfect if you're just planning to be there for sleeping. The bed & pillows were quite comfortable. There was also a small refrigerator in the room which was nice to have. And the price was fantastic!

Hip neighborhood
The five of us stayed in this hotel…which actually is a typical German “Wohnung” turned into a hotel apartment, for three nights in July and had a great time. The neighborhood, Prenzlauer Berg, is great if you want to experience the young and hip side of the town. Lots of street cafes, inexpensive restaurants (….a very highly recommended Vietnamese one right across the street!) and places to enjoy a beer after a long day of sightseeing. Also, a lot of small stores and boutiques to shop in or just check out their unique merchandise. The public transport hubs (S and U Bahn) are close by and run very frequently. The hotel offers an inexpensive breakfast buffet…highly recommended. You can sit outside and sip your coffee while watching the scenery. Very European! Overall, we can highly recommend this hotel.

Great value, good neighborhood, close to center
Great value; good location -- easy 10-minute ride to museum island/other attractions in city center; good neighborhood -- good energy, choices of bars/restaurants; love the wine/tapas place next door; amazing breakfast; cheerful, modern, clean, comfortable rooms. We are a family with kids ages 5 and 7, and the room was perfect. I was told our room would have 2 rooms and it was one (but 1 worked out just fine). WiFi didn't work in our room but did in public areas, which was fine. Don't count on any "front desk help" -- e.g., tourism tips -- it's a no-fuss kind of place.

Good location and tasty breakfast. Some noise from corridors, not from streets. Actually the walls are so thin that you can hear snoring of neighboring rooms (first floor). Tidy rooms.

Süßes Gästehaus am Prenzlauer Berg mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Von außen nicht ganz so offensichtlich, normaler Hauseingang zwischen Restaurants auf einer größeren Straße voller Bars, Cafés, Shops und Imbissbuden, Rezeption im dazugehörigen Restaurant. Beim Einchecken wurden wir dann durch einen Hof zu einem Hintereingang geführt, dort waren dann die Zimmer. Sehr ruhig gelegen, supersüß eingerichtet, eine dazugehörige idyllische Terasse. Alles da, was man braucht: Kühlschrank, Fön, Wasserkocher, Kaffeemaschine mit Filtern und Kaffeepulver, auf Wunsch wurde sogar ein Babybett bereit gestellt. Supernettes Personal, sowohl die Chefin, die noch Insider-Tipps gab, als auch der tägliche Zimmerservice. Auch das Essen in dem dazugehörigen chinesischem Restaurant ist nur empfehlenswert. Was man vielleicht noch wissen sollte, das Gästehaus bietet kein Frühstück an, aber es gibt auf der Straße und in der Gegend sehr viele nette Cafés mit leckerem Frühstück, nur in den meisten kann man nur mit Bargeld bezahlen, sie akzeptieren keine Kartenzahlung. Das Gästehaus ja, aber die Restaurants und Cafés nicht, man sollte immer Bargeld einstecken haben. Ansonsten am Prenzlauer Berg genau das Richtige für uns, super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Vielen Dank noch mal

Kun denne ene gang
Vi var meget tæt på at forlade hotellet igen ( til trods for bindende reservation ) allerede ved indtjekning, der sker i den tilstødende cafe. Modtagelsen var under al kritik, med hovedrysten og suk. Vi valgte alligevel at blive, hvilket vi dog fortrød. Det blev meget hurtigt meddelt, at der ikke ville være nogen morgenmad, her er der dog et super fint alternativ længere nede af gaden. Der var utroligt lydt og masser af støj ovenfra og tidligt om morgenen fra opgangen. Stilen med skråtstillede spejl over sengen, var heller ikke lige os.

Trevlig personal och rymligt familjerum
Stället kändes först lite konstigt eftersom receptionen var i den kinesiska restaurangen intill (det är restaurangägarna som driver pensionatet också). Men rummet var rymligt och toppen för en stor familj och personalen var väldigt trevlig. Vi köpte till frukost som åts i restaurangen och den var jättebra!

Hotel in zentraler, trotzdem ruhiger Lage.
Wir waren als Familie (3 Erwachsene, 1 Teenie) dort, um ein Konzert zubesuchen. Wir wohnten zwar im Hinterhaus, doch die Familiensuite (bis zu 5 Pers.) war dementsprechend ruhig, praktisch und sauber. Außerdem gibt es eine U-Bahn in der Nähe und die Konzerthalle ist in knapp 10 Minuten fußläufig zu erreichen.

Tolle Lage, enttäuschende Zimmer
Außer der tollen Lage mitten im Prenzlauer Berg und dem netten Team kann ich leider nicht viel Positives über die kleine Pension in der Gleimstraße sagen. Die Zimmer im EG des Hinterhauses sind sehr klein und positiv ausgedrückt zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Durch die Hellhörigkeit der Räumlichkeiten hat man das Gefühl, dass ständig jemand durch das Zimmer läuft oder gerade wieder woanders ein Wecker klingelt / Fernseher läuft, wodurch ich ein paar sehr kurze Nächte hatte.

Leuk guesthouse, geeft thuis gevoel
Erg leuk guesthouse in hippe wijk met heel veel leuke restaurantjes en uitstekende OV naar de rest van Berlijn. Prima uitvalsbasis voor een paar dagen Berlijn. Gezinskamers waren uitstekend en ontbijt goedkoop en zeker voldoende. Alles erg schoon.
