Good, clean hotel in a safe and quiet area. The bed was a bit on the soft side, and I would not recommend to leave the door tilted as one can easily push it in from the balcony that wraps around the first floor of the building. Other than this slight security hazard, I had a great stay and would come here again. I arrived late, so the reception was closed. No big deal since the hotel emailed me the code of the outside locker beforehand.

We stayed here for the decor of the hotel we don’t really like modern or plain hotels it is in a quiet part of Berlin but the underground is close by. Not many bars/ restaurants near by. A beautiful little park near by that has stalls which sells street food, fruit juice and alcohol ! There is a nice restaurant bar that is open early and closes late, park cafe I think it’s called. If you don’t want the huddle and bustle of the city Thai is perfect and cheap

Reasonably priced

The 20% off if you stay 3 nights plus the quirky decor was the reason I booked this hotel. It's a bit far out of the city but still easily accessible because of u-bahn. Staff behind the reception were fine but staff in breakfast room were much less friendly. Room was massive which was great but the tiniest towels ever!

Great Value for Money!

This isn't the Ritz, it's not a Hilton, It's not even a Holiday Inn, so if that's what you're expecting, look elsewhere. I booked this hotel because the photos on the website conveyed an old school charm which caught my imagination.

The photos are very reflective of what you will find in this hotel, mediterranean style tiled floors, large beds, and an old-timey aesthetic throughout. The rooms are comfortable, clean and well furnished. Breakfast is continental edging towards an eastern european style of meal, but there is a great deal of choice, and everything tasted great. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful, and you get the impression that they really care about the hotel, the guests and their experience.

Location wise you're a little further away from the centre of everything, if you're a walker like me you can be in the middle of Berlin in just over an hour, or you can hop on the U-Bahn at Fehrbellinerplatz Station which is a two minute walk from the door of the hotel. The U-Bahn will have you in most parts of Berlin in 20 minutes or less.

In short, great hotel, great room, great experience!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We absolutely loved the style. The room has no AC, but for us it was not a problem, as we traveled in September and the temperature at that time is not so high. The breakfast was delicious and offered plenty of choices. They also offered a large variety of coffees and teas. The mattress was awful and so the pillows. The hotel is located just 2 minutes away from the metro station and is close to the main attractions of the city. We wanted to rent bikes from the hotel, unfortunately they were all in a very bad shape.

Not for Summertime Stays

Room was quaint, but no air conditioning; short staircase to slow elevator; no screens on single window/door (it opened from the top and like a door) and rooms face or near major noisy thoroughfare; \"king-size\" bed seems to have double mattresses and single blankets for either side; no accessible AC outlets near bed or night stands and you have to pull the desk away from the wall to get to the outlets for desk use – only other accessible outlets weren't near any furniture; no true bath-sized towels. Great Georgian restaurant downstairs and a nice bar/cafe a block away in a park by the subway, but that's about it for restaurants within reasonable walking distance.

Terrible experience

Started badly when saying hello at check in, took ten seconds to get a grunted response back. The next day we asked for extra pillows, promised no problem but never came. Went later to ask again and rudely given keys to another room and told if we wanted them so badly to go and get them from this empty room ourselves. On checking out again rudely told I hadn't paid, I said I had and the lady on reception said 'No'. No checking, just no. Implying I was lying. I told her to check and she said oh ok yes you paid. No apology. Honestly the worst experience in a hotel which was dated, shabby and falling apart in places. Avoid

Pretty nice hotel

We really likes the hotel, super cute and easy to get to.

Our problems were simple really; the bedding. In stead of an appropriate sized duvet, you get two single ones and you cannot get comfy on the pillows, any weight put on them will make the stuffing run for the boarders.

Oh and the WiFi was rubbish, it was our only source of Internet while we were away so we could plan our days the evening before.

It was a lovely hotel though if that is all we can think of.

Berlin by bikes!

I travelled with my young son (nearly 14). We decided to travel by train from airport to the hotel. It worked out cheaper (14Euros compared to 45Euros by taxi) - one change over and close to destination, our hotel. Beautiful weather as we wanted to hire bikes from the hotel and travel the city on it. This was a good transport for us and fairly safe for sightseeing and stopovers, catching up with friends in the city. We did the canal run, close to the large park. It is interesting and a great way to view the city on bikes. As we had cycled a long way out towards the main city from the hotel, we could get back on the train in the evening with our bikes was a positive. Just make sure you buy a separate ticket for bikes, and being mindful that not all stations yet accommodate easy access (walkway) to carry bikes around on the station and on trains. However, we always found very helpful locals to direct us when we pulled out our paper maps! Wonderful experience overall and could have done with few more extra days.

Overbooked in Berlin

Can't really tell about the hotel in question, but they were overbooked booked and they sent us to another hotel which was part of the SensCity farther away from the city center. The other hotel was also 3 stars. The rooms we had were next to the road and was noisy. So the story is not to move hotels unless they give you something worth it.

SensCity not Sin City!

A great place for those who like old-fashioned bordello decor! Contrary to other reviews, the traffic noise was barely perceptible... Likewise, hotel inside very quiet... Rather far from the city center but very conveniently located to the U-Bahn. Staff was friendly and accommodating regarding, e.g., late arrivals and wireless. A very nice if rather pricy Fruehstuck... Service in the hotel restaurant was rather slow, however... A bonus was the route of the Berlin Marathon went right in front of the hotel with a samba band playing across the street...

Good location for the city; Spacious rooms

Excellent location for visits to the city. Less than 3 mins walk to U train station. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Wifi was good but had to be paid for, which I don't mind if it works well. If you arrive on a Sunday which I did, nothing open locally for food, but a small kebab shop by the station, but good snack food and drinks available. Any other day of the week and there are plenty of places to eat.

Brief stay

I stayed for 3 nights, I chose it mainly because the price was good and the location reasonable. I thought the room and service was ok but I was disappointed about a few things
- I paid for single occupancy in a double room. Great so far but the bed was made up of 2 single mattresses (falling down the gap in the middle) and the duvet was actually to single ones!
- the shower water temperature was spontaneously changing resulting in hot and cold spells
- the TV remote control batteries were flat or the remote was broken

Great Hotel - if the water had been warm...

This is not your run of the mill franchised hotel, but the owners have succeeded in creating an unique Mediterranean atmosphere, which is very pleasant, both in the restaurant and the rooms. Located at the edge of the city, with easy connection via U3 and U7. The staff is extremely helpful and very friendly. I would have warmly recommended this hotel, if it hand't been for the fact that on my second morning, there was no warm water for the showers.

Guess I was unlucky

I had an incredible deal on this hotel (expedia) - so I paid the price when I arrived:
the toilet was extremely dirty and smelled terribly (never have experienced anything like that in a hotel). Well, I simply flushed, but it remained dirty. Hair was quite everywhere and the towels not in order.
When I left the room an hour later I asked at the front desk to have the bathroom cleaned - and was surprised to see nothing had changed when I returned. Oh well. They took care of it the following day.

The room itself is quite spacious, with a large bathroom and a balcony, which is great.
While most 2* hotels provide basic toiletries and free wifi, this one provided toilet paper and cheap hand-soap (that I had to use as shampoo in the end) - and wifi for 6Euro/day.
The minibar was completely empty, the fridge unplugged.

Guess I was just unlucky!

Overall very good

I would recommend this hotel which although it is not central to the main sight seeing areas they remain easily reached via public transport. Handy tip : public transport bus numbers 100 and 200 cover all the major sight seeing areas so save yourself 20 euro by using these buses . The only downs about the hotel was the noise from the radiator and that the safe needed a new battery however both of these were quickly repaired. My only real gripe therefore is that unless you take breakfast at 10 euros/day they will charge 6 euros /day to use the internet and they do not have the capability to print off any documentation ie Ryanair boarding pass .

Never again ...

My life partner and I arrived in Berlin at the SensCity Hotel Albergo tired after a long train ride.
Going to our assigned room we were a little shocked about the tackiness: Gold color everywhere (even in the bathroom), golden framed mirrors and a bed with heavy red and gold colored draperies left and right to the headboard (resembling the attempt of creating a canopy bed).

Our room was on the 2nd floor. The balcony was nice but it was shared with other guests. The so-called all no-smoking hotel had quite a few smoking guests who (mostly) used the shared balcony to \"enjoy\" their addiction. Of course we were forced to close our balcony door (the only way of enjoying some fresh air in absence of of types of ventilation).

Then there was the traffic. It was horrible along the street the hotel was built on. Day and night, with the exception of 2 or 3 of the deepest night hours, the cars passed by. The noise was so bad that we had to close the balcony door even without smokers present.

And then the mattress. This \"thing\" we had to sleep on must have been a leftover of the immediate post-war time because we could feel individual springs poking into our softer parts.

Finally: All front desk staff and restaurant waiters were great, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was, with €10 a person, excellent and cheap (for Europe).

Couple downsides

As other reviewers have noted, without air conditioning and having street noise made it difficult as the room gets stuffy without the window open and with the window open it was loud. The rooms were pretty dated and the bed was not very comfortable, with the springs readily apparent. The pillows were overly soft making the sleeping not the best. Sometimes the hot water ran out and the temperature would vary at times.

I couldn't find a gym to use while at the hotel except a couple that charged 30 Euros per day. I ended up running in a long park about 3/4 miles from the hotel.

On a positive note the Internet worked pretty well in the restaurant and the room. The breakfast was small but nice.

Great Berlin Hotel!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights when we first arrived in Berlin. We liked the old style decor and our room was clean with a cute tiny balcony and big windows! The bathroom was very spacious. We absolutely loved the breakfast room! It was so nice with large windows and very very cute. The breakfast was delicious and huge. All you can eat buffet. It did cost extra, but I think it was worth it as there weren't really breakfast places around and it probably would have been less food and more expensive at a restaurant anyway. Also, since we didn't rent a car we were relying fully on the public transit system which is excellent and easy to understand. This hotel was very close to a U-Bahn station so we were able to get everywhere very easily! One of the women working the reception was awesome! She was so helpful and offered to mail something for me and gave us directions and spoke perfect english which I don't expect when I travel to a different country but I really appreciated it. And of course, it was very reasonably priced and well situated. Would definitely recommend this hotel!

I think that the hotel is beautiful. The rooms are lovely. The staff is very friendly. The only thing that I would say is a bit strange is that the cleaning staff never cleaned my room. However, they came in and out several times, without knocking and they would leave their cleaning supplies in the room or start to do things, like make the bed, and take off all of the covers and then just leave them on the floor. That was a bit odd. Also, the breakfast is lovely, but only if you get there early, they don't replenish any of the food. Other than that, it is a beautiful hotel and the rooms are lovely.

The desk clerk was apologetic but obviously couldn't do anything at that point. I thought at least they would offer me breakfast! Also, the front desk closes at 9AM and doesn't open until 6:30AM.

Generally good value for money, but a bit noisy

I stayed here for 4 nights in May 2011. The interior decoration of the hotel is certainly interesting, it did not quite meet my personal taste (a bit full on in red and gold), but the hotel was clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff is very friendly.

Unfortunately, the street is quite noisy and there is a bar on the ground floor of the hotel, where people were sitting outside until almost 1am on the first night of my stay, which I found rather annoying. (Although I have to admit that I am very sensitive to noise, maybe somebody else wouldn't have bothered at all).

The tube station \"Fehrbelliner Platz\" is very close to the hotel and it all major sights can be reached pretty easily, although it takes a while to get to the trendy neighbourhoods (Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain).

Overall I was happy with my stay at the hotel - I had booked a special rate deal which was very good value for money.

Good hotel and value

This hotel was booked after I reviewed other people's reviews. I found this hotel fine, and would recommend to most people. I expected the room to be a bit more luxurious. Perhaps they are in the premium rooms, but I booked mine at a low price and perhaps received one of the still nice, but not so luxurious rooms.
The room was not huge, but nevertheless cosy and comfortable, with a nice bathroom and heaters for the towels. The area is quiet, but very close to underground and not very far from centre. Helpful staff. If you don't have your laptop, then there is only one shared computer next to reception. It's free, but might have to wait 5-10 mins if others are using it. Can't comment on breakfast because I didn't have any. Would stay here again.

The room was freshly decorated and equipped with nice new furniture (classical one, probably too posh for my taste). Ku'damm is close (spent all evenings there), just couple of underground stops. Good connection to Tegel and Schoenefeld via U7 subway. The staff is really kind and helpful.
What I did not like - the noisy street near the hotel (it disturbs sleeping).

SORAT - Cheap, comfortable and convenient

The hotel is located very close to the Fehrbelliner Platz U-bahn station, which is an interchange station for two different U-bahn lines. The room was quite large and the ventilation was very good (although there is no airconditioning). Getting to the hotel with your luggage is quite easy if you come in by train. Just make sure you get off at Berlin's Suedkreuz station rather than at the Hauptbahnhof - many long-distance trains will stop at both.

Terrible hotel

The hotel was odd, tiny, and horribly hot!!!!! The bed was small, strange and uncomfortable. The bedspread had many stains on it. The only way to survive the night was to have the windows open to the very busy street below. Needless to say it was a terrible sleepless night that I wouldn't wish on anyone!!!!!!!

Hotel Albergo in Berlin - pleasant stay

The Hotel Albergo is a very pleasant hotel. Though the mediterranean decor was not to our liking, the room was quite comfortably appointed and large. To our surprise, the hotel does not provide air conditioning in the rooms so some people may find this an issue if it is a 30 degree Centigrade summer day in Berlin.
We had no problems at all with the reservation we made through hotels.com.
The hotel locale is nice enough - not a bad neighbourhood at all - but it is a bit out of the way from major tourist sights. For instance, it is a good 20-30 minute walk to the Kudam from the hotel's front door, and another 10 minutes beyond that to the zoo and Tiergarten. However, if you are content to take public transit to get to spots of interest then the nearest u-bahn (i.e. subway or tube) station is only a 5 minute walk away from the hotel. If you are driving to the hotel, the nearest ring highway exit is only a few minutes drive from the hotel; and there is free street parking on the side street the hotel is on. In summary, we had an all around pleasant stay and would recommend this hotel.

Good Value

The hotel was nice, excellent value for money. Although slightly out from the centre still easy to reach all tourist sites on the very efficient U/S-bahns.

Attractive hotel, close to U-bahn station

This hotel is very pretty with very friendly front-desk help. The paintings on the floor and ceilings are a nice touch. Just one block from an U-bahn station makes it convenient even if it is not in a tourist area. A map or list of conveniences in the area would have been nice. We discovered a grocery store hidden in a courtyard right across the street, but only after several days. No late night desk clerk is a little inconvenient. We were on a no smoking floor, but our bed cover had a cigarette burn and was dingy, We were on the fifth floor (fourth floor German) but road noise was prevalent because the door/window was not framed well. Bathroom was very nice and clean with a great towel warmer, though the shower door didn't close all the way. Overall, a comfortable quiet, reasonably priced hotel.

A quiet night in a quiet neighborhood.

Good location. Away from the city center, but just one block from two subway lines. A good choice for travelers not interested in staying in the middle of all the action.

Clean and comfortable (except for those annoying, flat German pillows).

Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

German Hotel Gem

Being dead tired from an overnight flight, I was delighted to be checked in early by this hotel staff at 9:15 a.m. on a Sunday morning with no fuss. They really could do no wrong after that. The building was originally a Russian Orthodox Church beautifully restored after the war into a well maintained 5 story hotel. Convenient quiet location one block from a major subway station feeding into a clean and wonderful transit system. I highly recommend choosing the full breakfast as a booking option. It was well worth the added cost per day.

Have to agree.....

...with those who said it's 3 star, not 4. That said, booking an advance here made it cheaper than the average 3 star, so this review is for the price we paid. It's a little out of town, but Berlin's tube and transport system means nothing is particularly far away. You can get to Unter den Linden in about 20 minutes. The hotel is clean and tidy, and the staff are friendly enough. However, they don't have any staff after about 11:30. They also don't have a bar or anything of the sort after the breakfast room is closed (perhaps this is seasonal). I would strongly advise getting a few nibbles and drinks to leave in your room, because there's not really much in the area either. I can't comment on the breakfast, as we never ate it. We went to Parkcafe, just down the road. It's apparently owned by the same people, and open all day, so no rushing to make breakfast. If you want a cheap, decent base from which to go out exploring Berlin, this is perfect. If you want to spend some of your holiday lounging in your hotel, it's not for you. But it's in Berlin, so why would you want to do that anyway?

We loved it!

Although only a 3-star (hence tiled floors, no rugs etc.) there is still a feeling of opulence with the ruby coloured bed canopy, spread, and curtains. Somehow there is a feel of a somewhat \"tired\", slight decadence with the mediterranean feel frescoes and artwork. We loved it!

On a more mundane note, the facilities were spotless and functional, the staff efficient and helpful, and breakfast was efficient and tasty - the \"glumpha, glumpha\" coffee machine deserves a special mention!

Impressed

My wife and I both really liked the location, because it was relatively quiet. we were somewhat disappointed that the restaurant on the first floor was closed. It would have been nice if the hotel offered some sort of late-night room service. The pillows were not very comfortable. But overall, we did enjoy our stay and would stay here again.

Only if you get a great rate - location is beyond dull and far from the action!

Location in the old West is convenient to two subway lines, but this is not a good area to get a feel for contemporary Berlin. The city is so spread out, and getting to Mitte (center) from this hotel will take a chunk of time. I stayed here because Expedia's rate for the week I was in town was amazing. It's probably fine for other business travelers, but I wouldn't recommend this place for romance, singles get-aways, or leisure travelers in general.

Nice hotel, just not 4 star

Ok, this hotel isn't 4 star. More like 3. I mean, which hotel gives a writing desk, paper but no pens? Also no toiletries. And there wasn't enough breakfast and the staff weren't exactly forthcoming in providing more. And the balcony felt ike taking my life in my hands every time I walked on it. Lastly, the resteraunt was shut for the duration of my stay. Those are my only complaints. The staff were amazing. After a long flight and no sleep, they were really helpful. The maids were amazing and tidied my room daily (not used to that even in 5 star hotels). And the breakfast was cooked beautifully. The killer thing for me was the umbrella service. During my stay it rained 4 days out of 5, and the hotel gave me an umbrella. Great service. The room is beautiful, reminding me of a period drama leading man's bedroom. Which suited me down to the ground. The view was nice for a hotel located in the city, and as for the \"busy\" road, you can't hear a thing (apart from sirens) with your windows closed. If they opened the resteraunt, offered better toiletries, shored up the balcony and paid a little more attention to detail this would be a great hotel. By the way, planning to go back next year, to the same hotel, and planning to take my girlfriend with me because she fell in love with the room on webcam.

Absolutely perfect

I'll give it 9,5/10. The room was excellen, actually it really looked like the one on pics. This is not the case when they make a picture of their best room, but you'll get walk-in-closet-sized room. The room was clean, bathroom too, parking place safe, basically it really met my needs. If I go back to Berlin, I'll stay here. And I do recommend this hotel to everyone!

Ich war erstaunt, von osteuropäischem Personal ( Eigentümern?) begrüßt zu werden. Ich hatte italienisches Flair vermutet, was ja auch auf die Einrichtung zutrifft. Die Bäder und Flure sahen recht verwohnt aber sauber aus.

Een mooi, aangenaam hotel, met een goede, vriendelijke ontvangst. Het ligt wat perifeer, niet middenin het centrum en het ontbijt vond ik wat matig voor 10 euro, maar als geheel erg okay.
