I stayed at this hotel whilst working at a trade show in Berlin.
Friends had recommended for me to stay at the hotel, and I wasn't disappointed.
The rooms aren't the biggest, and the services are compact, but they are exactly what you need.
There are no in-house breakfast facilities, but you are entitled to a discount at the cafe below.
Definitely worth a stay, and get a bargin price by booking well ahead!!!!

If you are eager to explore the city and enjoy the sightseeings of Berlin, instead to stay into the room of a hotel, this is the best choice for you ! Yes, the rooms are small but they are very clean,modern, practical and very cheap ! The location is perfect, in the center of the Mitte area.

Was in Berlin with a friend last year, and we decided to stay at the EasyHotel, as it had a central location and was cheap. I'm glad we decided to stay there, as the room was in a very good condition and clean. There wasn't much space in the room though, but when you are on a city vacation, you don't really spend time in your room, so who needs it anyway. It was optional to get extra of everything, just like when you fly with EasyJet, but again, who wants to watch TV on a holiday... I would definitely recommend it.

BOOKING:

We booked online and paid before we arrived. This made the service quicker and the hotel had our details ready and was expecting us. The rates were very very reasonable and the hotel is classed as budget. We booked for 4 nights in June 2012.


LOCATION:

The location is perfect. We have visited Berlin 3 times now and always stay in the Mitte area. This EasyHotel is in the heart of the area. It is surrounded by great bars and restaurants and shopping. It has easy access to all public transport so is easy to navigate around the rest of Berlin from this area. It’s also easy to get to here from the airport.

Rosenthaler Strasse is a great street too. You can walk to the market area, or Oranienburger Strass for great bars, or the Alexanderplatz area for shopping and the TV tower. Unter den linden and Brandenburg gate is all within easy walking; even better if you hire a bike for the day and cycle through Tiergarten.


SERVICE:

The staff at EasyHotel were very friendly and efficient. Checking in and out was very easy and straight forward.

You cannot have breakfast here as all it is is a hotel. No food but there is a vending machine in the basement. You really don’t need a restaurant as you only have to step out of the door and walk in any direction to get to great venues.

The towels are not changed unless requested and then you are charged. This is because it is a budget hotel and they are trying to keep costs down.

EasyHotel also offer bicycle hire. We used this service and hired 2 bikes for the whole day. It was very reasonably prices and the bikes were great…though bright orange! We had a fantastic day on them and you collect and return you bikes from the hotel garden.

The hotel also offer wifi if you want to pay for it and also lockers for your luggage for your last day.


ROOM:

Our room was very clean light and airy. It did have a window, SOME EASYHOTEL ROOMS DON’T.

The room was very very small. I have seen lots of complaints about this but it really is obvious and the hotel is not trying to hide it or "screw you over" and you are paying a small price for a very central hotel. In Berlin we never spend much time in our hotel so this was fine for us. It is fine to deal with, suitcases could go under the bed and there was still enough space for the 2 of us.

The bathroom was barely en suite, more like it was just in the room with you. A glass wall and glass door divided the bathroom from the room. When you were in the shower the door to the bathroom folded in and sealed the shower cubicle so the other person could still use the toilet. It was very clever efficient use of space. It may be a bit too intense if you are sharing with a friend that you don’t know very well but as a couple we found it fine.

The bed was incredibly comfy, I loved it. Great after a long day walking/cycling and an evening of drinking!

The room and bed linen was very clean. It was very hot weather when we visited but the room stayed cool and the window opened really wide too. The only downside was when we were having a lie in and the shutters outside slid over the windows blocking out all of the light. Apparently this is an energy saving design to keep the building cool when the temperature reaches a certain level. It is out of the control of the staff and all of the shutters went at the same time. It actually only happened once though so wasn't a problem.

The bathroom and shower was spotless and had lots of soap to use.

I can’t remember if there was a tv but doubt it, There weren't any tea and coffee making facilities which was a pain but otherwise the room couldn't have been faulted. Just prepare yourself for it being small.


OVERALL:

There is nothing I can fault about this hotel apart from the fact that there was no kettle and the towels/bins weren’t changed.

It is budget through and through but the room was very very clean and comfortable.

The location is really fantastic, you are right in the centre of a really interesting area. You won’t be lost for things to do or places to eat and drink…and cheaply too!

If you want a romantic getaway or some luxury then this probably isn’t the place to stay.

However if you are like me and spend most of your time out and about exploring, not watching tv in a large hotel room, then this could be a really ideal hotel for you.

My fiancé proposed to me after a day out on our EasyHotel bicycles. We went back to our hotel and drank champagne from plastic cups and then went out to celebrate. The quality of the hotel was just perfect for a romantic time such as this, but it was the location that made it all the more special!

Prepare yourself for a small room but a fantastic time and you can’t go wrong!
