I like this hotel very much. It is cheap, and you need to bring your own shower gel - but the rooms and staff are nice
Clean, good and simple hotel. The rate is fine for a hotel of this standard. The location is good even if not in the very center of Berlin, but public transportation takes you there quickly. Friendly staff.
I liked that it was not located in a typical tourist area. The neighborhood was more working class, lots of immigrants, a real slice of Berlin life. Good access to a major transport hub at nearby Gesundbrunnen Station. Adjacent shopping center was nice and covered all needs. Classy German dining at nearby Lichtburg restaurant. Desk staff were helpful and spoke very good English. Quiet neighborhood--could leave the window open at night.
Wonderful family hotel. Breakfast was super with the kids - they had fruit, salad, eggs, pancakes, cereals, yogurts and more. The dining room had a play area too. Very comfortable beds. Bathroom was quite small and only 1 bar of soap (no other amenities). Location is close to a train station but outside the city center.
The hotel check-in was really welcoming with easy check-in. The room was really clean and quiet. The staff were very helpful providing me with information about Berlin, a good map with and how to use the transit systems i.e. buy a 24hr pass (which I did!). The staff also helped locate a kettle for me so I could make a drink in my room. Would definitely stay here again.
great stay for teh euros, in a conveneient location to city and stadium as the nearest station is well placed, but beware it is a 20 min walk to thestation
The staff were really friendly and accommodated my requests without hesitation
Great lication. 8min metro ride to Alexander platz. Massive shopping centre a few mins walk away. Downside was theres a caravan park nextdoor and it was very noisy, as i had to keep the windows open coz no AC, with 22* at night.
Excellent. Room was clean, breakfast was tasty. Recommended.

I had forgotten that "familien" meant more for families. This is bare bones hotel but they had beer, wine, and a fantastic breakfast. A little shady neighborhood but very convenient to metro and dining!
It would have been nice had it been air conditioned, but it had comfy beds and worked for our family. The breakfast was okay, a little overpriced but was fine.
It was just hidden enough that we didn't know how close it was to Gesundbrunnen station and kaufpark, perhaps the hotel should point that out for food options?
