2-Star Hotels in Berlin

I stayed only two nights at a&o Berlin Mitte with Contiki, the stay was comfortable. The four-share rooms were very small and a bit tricky to fit our four suitcases. We also had a run-in with staff at the front desk. For a four-share room, we only got two keys. When a member of our group asked for a spare key, she was denied then given a temporary card and was rudely told to bring it right back - but how could she get back into the room to bring it back??? Others in our tour had the same experience. Besides that, the breakfast was great.

This is not my first time staying at A&O Berlin. I have been there prior and immediately after the pandemics too. During this time, the quality of the service has been steady and a good one. The staff rather amicable and prompt to help with any issue you may have. Sometimes things do not work as expected (coffee machine, contactless purchases) but they will guarantee your stay is a smooth one. Breakfast is abundant and provide several options. I only wish the coffee could be better, but all in all is not bad. Also, maybe rooms could do with a bit of cheering up colour, besides the ones provided by the curtains. What I like the most about this hostel is the consistency with the chain principles and the fact that you will find all you need for a good stay, even tissues!

The hotel facilities and sanitary environment are good. The room is a little small, but it's enough. I went in advance and could store my luggage for free. After checking out, I stored my luggage for an extra half day for 1 euro. Breakfast is not recommended. There are only a few kinds of particularly hard bread and normal coffee. Transportation is 6 or 7 minutes away from Alexanderplatz and close to the train station. Overall recommended.

The building itself looks a bit sketchy from the outside, theres no bright sign outside or anything, just an A4 sheet with their logo. But don't be fooled by this or the non working staircase because the stay is very much worth it! Great hosts, super clean and bathrooms are big and private very apartment like. The theme is very well implemented and the ambience is dark and quiet. My boyfriend is a bit claustrophobic and I was afraid he wouldn't feel comfortable but the 2 person cabin is very spacious and its okay to sleep with the door slightly open if you have to. Other than that you get a locker per capsule, fresh clean towels and theres a vending machine for hot drinks and snacks for breakfast. Surprisingly good!

The hostel is very dirty. All the surfaces are sticky. There is a terrible stench in the rooms, toilets, corridors and lobby. Things forgotten by the previous tenants are lying around until they are thrown away by the current tenants. Mattresses are stained with brown stains, possibly menstrual blood (I was in the women's room). The pillows are crumpled and terribly uncomfortable. The beds stand so you can't fully open the window to air it out. The lobby is very noisy and smelly too, apparently there is no ventilation or it is blocked. Absolutely not recommended, even for 25€ a night! It's too much for this place.

The Grqnd Hyatt Berlin is my stay of choice when in Berlin. It’s Potsdamer Platz location is ideal for the main sights, connects to the airport and many terrific eateries. The room and breakfast quality are excellent and it’s small enough to give personal service.

Great hotel with a great central location. Alexanderplatz is just a few minutes walk away. Parking was very cheap. 10€ for 24 hours. The photo shows the view from our room of the television tower

At the hotel they were all friendly and very helpful as whenever I mentioned a situation they resolved it instantly. Breakfast offers a good variety of foods.

Everything was in order, It was just loud for a long time in the evening. People had no consideration for other people. But what should you expect from a hostel? It was basically good for one night.

A cozy hostel with a hidden gem inside. The only Circus that brews is a really cool way to interest new guests. If I'll explain The Circus Hostel from the underground to the top, I appreciate the spacy luggage room for free. I also like the small bar under the ground that offered us a free beer sample which tastes really great. And I'm sayin it as a Czech. On the ground, there's a cute cafe, friendly and kind crew ready for everything that could happen and tram station right before the hostel entrance. Higher levels are just full of modern rooms and shared toilets and showers. You may miss the fridge and towels but reception offers both to borrow. And the bonus that i wanna mention is that there are many good stores, cafes and restaurants around Circus and metro station nearby.
