Very nice hotel

4 nights stay. Great greetings from 2 employees. Location was not an issue because 3 tramways were running regularly. We were extremely lucky to have a balcony and used it to its fullest. Excellent restaurant and well equipped grocery store near by. Obviously not downtown but quality / price was my reason to stay at this hotel. Highly recommended. Enjoy.

Old Berlin Charm in a Great Neighborhood

This is a perfect hotel for a stay in Berlin. It's in a cool neighborhood but it is an old family hotel with a traditional, atmospheric restaurant on the ground floor. Trams from the Hauptbahnhof and other major stations stop right outside. The place is quiet and super-clean. Rooms and hallways decorated with old posters and postcards and tin commercial signs. Close to great places to eat and drink, or if you are staying in they have fully stocked minibars, not overpriced. It is marvelous value for money. I only booked here because it was close to an apartment I once spent a summer in. But I will stay again!

Nice-size room, good staff, but…

The hotel staff were very kind and goo-natured. Our only concern was the lack of ability to cool our large three-person suite.

There were two small fans in the suite; one was a small “stick” fan and the other was a 30-cm-wide circular fan with a weak air velocity and a broken height adjuster. These were not adequate to cool the room, especially as it was on an upper floor.

Other than this consideration, we would return to this hotel for a future stay.

Inexpensive yet clean and pleasant. Hotel is situated in a nice part of town, with many restaurants, of all types, within walking distance. Breakfast served at the restaurant was very good. Most important, as we were tourists coming to explore Berlin for the first time, the tram station is right next to the hotel entrance so that getting around was easy and fast.

In the heart of bustling Kollwitzkiez, the hotel is a short walk from Rosenthaler Platz and a short subway ride to Alexander Platz. Easy to get to from the airport too - take FEX (airport express) to Berlin-Gesundbrunnen and switch to the U8 subway, and, then, it's a few stops to Rosenthaler Platz. Lots of multicultural places to eat nearby. The breakfast is expensive for the continental fair you get. The rooms are simple and not fancy. But the convenience and affordability are major plusses that easily outweigh the plainness of the rooms.

Two nights in Berlin

We spent two nights and one and a half days visiting in Berlin. This hotel was very convenient. It is right on the tram line…in fact the tram stop is directly in front of the hotel! You can even take a tram directly to the train station and hop on a train that takes you right to the airport. The hotel desk staff were very friendly, helped us figure out a game plan for seeing the sights, suggested restaurants and provided items we requested (example extra pillows) promptly. The room was large, clean and very comfortable. They didn’t have AC in the room where we stayed but we were there in October. During the day we left the windows ajar to bring in cooler fresh air and then closed them at night. Although it is right on a busy street with a tram, and our room looked over the street on the first floor (which we would call a second floor), when you close the windows and draw the curtains it is very quiet, well insulated from street noise. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The breakfast buffet is very good, well worth the $15 a person. There is an adjoining restaurant that looks very nice but we didn’t eat there, preferring to dine while out roaming the city. This hotel is basic with respect to “extras”. Bring your own shampoo and body lotion for example. But it is a very nice hotel that we can heartily recommend!

We had a loft room which was cosy. Almost too warm. The staff were amazing and helped us print off a boarding pass (who doesn't use e-tickets these days). The rooms were clean and cleaned in a timely manner. I hate coming back to an unmade bed. The room was a generous size for us and the furnishings were more than adequate. Plenty of hanging space. Not near enough power points to charge our many electronic gadgets (phones, headphones, ipad) but that says more about us than the hotel. The only \"downside\" is the location -- as Berlin doesn't really have a \"centre\" it's a difficult place to walk around. So it's a good 20 minutes to Alexanderplatz. On the upside, the street is filled with funky shops and plenty of cafes. We'd stay again for sure.

True Berliner charm

Hotel Kastanienhof is a bit of an oddity on trendy Kastanienallee-- it's 100% old-school German in decor and appeal and steadfastly refuses to dish up international fusion anything- which, of course, makes it desireable to self-conscious hipsters. The reception is lovingly decked out in Berlin memorabilia and the rooms are comfortable and have been modernized without neglecting its German bourgeois roots. If you're looking for Philippe Starck-designed lounge chairs, mood lights and elevator electronica, you won't fin it at Kastanienhof. But the high-quality food at The Ausspanne, the little restaurant attached to the hotel is an added plus, as is its unusually un-gruff German waitstaff. In a weird bout of gastronomic schizophrenia, the all-American cheesecake and brownies on the menu are actually excellent.
