Best Hotels near S Bornholmer Str. (Berlin), Berlin

The staff were very nice and kind, the location is really good since it's so close to the attractions, the price is alright, the rooms we're unfortunately dusty, dirty,few spider webs here and there and they especially looked sad and depressing. The breakfast was good, but the choice was very little unfortunately. It's an OK place for a short visit of Berlin

Although this hotel had many good qualities it also had its downsides. I went with my school in April 2023 - for reference Pros - Breakfast was very good and had some unique and interesting equipment such as a self making pancake machine- which was very popular and the pancakes were great! - The range of food was broad and there was something for everyone to enjoy - I especially liked the edible wafer cups to put contiments in e.g Nutella -I thought the free juice machine at the breakfast buffet was very cool although it did break a few times, but was fixed very quickly -The hotel has a good location as it is very close to various sightseeing areas and a train station -The beds were fairly comfortable and the bathrooms were quite big (in most rooms) Cons -Poor ventilation in bathrooms, although many of the bathrooms were decently sized some were very small and had no windows and so the smell could sometimes become over bearing - this was demonstrated by my friend fainting -Although the hotel promised cleaning during our stay we saw no evidence of this, except for a few new toilet rolls being added to the bathroom -The staff were blunt and rude to us, when we attempted to get some water, they banished us to the cellar very aggressively - The basement (game room/teen hangout) was very nice although the vending was unreliable as it swallowed my friends money. -The shelf in the bathroom was inconveniently placed and when you picked up anything of the shelf all your belongings would fall to the floor - due to the placing of the toilet underneath the shelf, all of my bathroom things fell in the toilet which was unfortunate and very frustrating! -The rooms were very hot at night and leaving the window open at night was 100% necessary, I can imagine in summer this would be much worse as bugs and creatures could enter the rooms, I suggest investing in AC. Overall this was an okay experience for my school although I can imagine for families staying in the hotel it could be annoying to hear children running around and screaming loudly! Definitely no place for families but pretty okay for large groups and schools

Although the room are nice (good coffee and nicely furnished), the overall experience is rather poor. The staff (1 person only during day and the night shift) is far too inexperienced and likely all below the age of 20. We had the change room twice due to leakage in the air conditioning system. Making sure the wooden floor did not damage from the water, towels were used, but it was clear the staff didn’t bother and made a fuzz about giving us a new room. Also when you call the staff from your room with the room telephone, they do not pick up. When you call them with your cell phone, they pick up. Why? Further, we selected the hotel partially because of the good looking gym. Surprise, you pay for the gym, each time you use it: €15 per person. The Spa is not open, due to the fact that the hotel recently opened (?). It is clear that the hotel is significantly understaffed and that the service level is poor. Cost cutting is understandable post covid, but we got the feeling that the expenses applied for building this place were high, and that cost cutting may make this place profitable long time in the future. Location is good; close to well functioning public transport. Breakfast was fine, no worries there.

The hostel is located right next to the U-bahn station and not far from Alexanderplatz, the location itself is very convenient, in a vibrant area with a lot of places to eat. The staff were nice, and there were a lot of activities where I managed to meet some cool people from all over the world. The toilets and bathrooms were fairly clean and well-maintained. On the downside, the room for 6 people was quite small and it was really hot in there when all 6 or even 5 were present. But if you opened the window, it just became super loud and even less possible to sleep — the room had its windows right above a rather busy street, and even at night there was constant car noise, honking, trams passing and so on. You could hear it VERY loudly from the 2nd floor. So despite having a comfy bed, I can’t say I have had a good sleep any of the nights I stayed there. When you check in they also give you a voucher for a free beer in their own basement brewery. That was cool, but the sample glass is SO small, like 100ml? I expected it to be a full size drink to be honest:) Still, the brewery is really nice.

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 location of Hilton Berlin is fantastic and the exterior of the hotel plus the lobby is very beautiful. Very walkable location with many surrounding dining and sightseeing options. Overall, housekeeping was good. The rooms run fairly small and look dated, so value for money is not that great. Bathroom is clean but not very well-maintained, especially the toilet. The check-in concierge staff were ok but I would expect friendlier and more proactive service for the price we were paying and being a diamond member as well. The staff who was a blonde lady with glasses checked me in and out and was the friendliest staff i encountered during my stay. Rarely did the other staff smile or greet us when we walked past them and they generally did not have great customer service skills, and generally just unfriendly. The front door concierge and door staff were much friendlier and greeted us more than the check-in staff. I also had a very terrible experience with the night security staff when my friend and I came back to the hotel around 6 am after a night out. We walked in and were stopped by a man who was not wearing any uniform, or any attire to signal he was working at the Hilton, and in regular clothes, he was a bit hard to understand because he had a thick accent, and I thought he might be another patron at the hotel or a taxi driver, so I politely smiled at him and said “no thank you” and walked towards the elevator. He got extremely angry, began shouting at me, and said he was a worker there and showed me his keys with a Hilton keychain. He wanted to verify that we had a room key. While we were taking out the key, he was calling me rude and dismissive and that I was a terrible person. It was so jarring because there was no need to be that rude, he was acting like I shooed him away when I’m reality it was a miscommunication. He then went into the back of the concierge to complain about me loudly, didn’t even wait till I was out of earshot. It was hard to identify him as a staff, much less security, and I didn’t need to be scolded like a child. Overall, very unprofessional and made the remainder of my stay feel much more sour. I can look past the dated rooms because I know that is out of the staff’s control at that point of time. But unprofessional and unfriendly staff make the value of my stay and diamond member status much worse.

This B&B hotel is well-situated in Mitte, within an easy walk of shops (Alexa Mall), restaurants and transportation options. The room, though small, was well equipped and comfortable. Beds were comfy. Breakfasts were fresh and tasty though little variation from day to day. The only negative is that the hotel was also hosting multiple student groups who crowded the public areas, elevators and breakfast area and were often noisy and oblivious to their impact on other travellers. This was a daily annoyance during our 4 night stay.

Relatively large hotel located in a convenient, central location with clean and modern, nice rooms. The room was very modern and fresh - perfect for an overnight stay in Berlin. Location of the hotel is pretty hard to beat - by public transport and restaurants, shops, bars, sights, etc. to see right in the immediate area.

Decent hostel, relatively clean and facilities are good. Location is good has a tram and metro stop right outside. Only downside is upon arrival 3/4 of the locks didn’t work in our rooms so we had to get reception to fix. However, they were very efficient and felled straight away. Also to note that reception normally only has one staff member on so you might be waiting a while to be seen to

I had booked in January for March, it was hard to find a place, all jumped for the lockdown and problems about what we already paid and at the end of September we came, a moment spartan but there is no cooker in the room, great breakfast, strategic position walking find everything, out to the right find all the restaurants you want from all the world cuisine and spend little food well, Sunday market in the front park and always animated area, in this period few tourists have lowered prices, Berlin in this strange and empty period of tourist concern
