Ligger godt, men meget mere Hostel end Hotel

Vi var noget overraskede over det meget primitive værelse, som lige så godt kunne have været et mandskabsrum på en kaserne. Badeværelset var imidlertid ret nyt og absolut ok. Det havde dog været rart med varmt vand i hanerne, hvilket der kun var den første dag. Hotellet ligger godt i forhold til offentligt transport, ZOO og Tiergarten og er meget billigt.

Super Lage, sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverh., laut

Gebuchtes Zimmer: 2 Personen Zimmer mit 2 Einzelbetten (eigene Dusche und WC). Lage sehr zentral, direkt neben der S-Bahn/U-Bahn Station. Somit alles sehr gut erreichbar, auch zu Fuß. Direkt um die Ecke ist ein Supermarkt, der auch Sonntags geöffnet ist. Aber durch die Lage insgesamt auch sehr laut im Hotel (direkt neben den S-Bahn Schienen, unser Zimmer war ca. 10m Luftlinie von den Schienen entfernt!). Mit Ohropax aber durchaus ertragbar, und somit überwiegt für mich der Vorteil der zentralen Lage. Das Zimmer hatte ein Klappbares Fenster in knapp 2m Höhe (also rausschauen kann man nicht, aber man würde eh nur auf die Bahngleise schauen, also zum Lüften ausreichend). Das Zimmer war klein und mit alten, teilweise wackeligen Möbeln eingerichtet. Im Vergleich zu anderen Hotels vergleichbar sauber (selbst teure Hotels sind nicht immer blitzblank geputzt!), aber leichte Stockflecken in der Dusche. Nur ein Handtuchhalter obwohl 2-Bett-Zimmer. Das alles ist aber hinnehmbar, wenn man das Zimmer wirklich nur zum Schlafen nutzt und sich den Preis für teurere Hotel, deren Ausstattung man nachts beim Schlafen eh nicht sehen kann, sparen möchte. Fazit: denke besonders für Junge Leute, die sich in erster Linie tagsüber Berlin anschauen möchten, und nachts lediglich ein Bett zum Schlafen suchen, und dabei sparen wollen, eine optimale Unterkunft in 1a Lage zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Aber Ohropax mitnehmen, kein Scherz!

Sommer hotel

Hotellet ligger rigtigt godt i forhold til seværdigheder og transport som tog og bus. Der er rigeligt med spisesteder rundt om hotellet. Shopping gader går i alle retninger fra hotellet. Desværre er vedligeholdenes af hotellet meget ringe. Vinduerne på værelset var ikke til at lukke. En meget kold oplevelse i december. Der manglede gardiner. Og lyset var mere beregnet til en gymnastiksal. Men det er billigt, ligger meget centralt, og man har da et sted at bo. Vi kommer dog ikke tilbage.

Bodde 2 nätter själv på hotellet. En enkelrum superfräsch toalett. Sängen ok. Rummet var rent. Hotellet ligger bredvid stationen Zoologister Garden som är både tunnelbanestation och regionaltåget åker där. Många affärer runtomkring. skulle man vilja åka till stan är det lätt att ta sig dit med tunnelbanan.

A&O Berlin am Zoo - i centrum af Berlin

Hotellet var mest et hostel. Personalet var rigtig servicemindede og morgenmaden var ok. Værelset havde det, man skulle bruge, men absolut ikke luksuriøst. Ligger lige over for Zoologischer Garten station, hvor både S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Regional Zug og busser kører.

God placering til prisen

Absolut mere et hostel/vandrerhjem end et hotel men helt OK til prisen. Ikke for personer som foretrækker at sove mørkt og i meget rolige omgivelser, da ingen af delene kunne lade sig gøre, hvor vi sov. Det er backpacker standard, men mange forskellige typer bruger det. VH MVM

A&O hotel Berlin am Zoo

Dit hotel is echt het ergste wat ik ooit heb meegemaakt en ik heb al heel wat gereisd over de wereld. A&O staat voor Afschuwelijk en Onder de mate. We hadden dit geboekt omdat het best goedkoop was, maar als we nu terugdenken, was dit de grootste fout. Je kunt beter een straat verderop zitten, daar zitten de goede hotels, betaal je wel meer, maar dan slaap je ook op een goed bed. Wij hebben heel veel geluidsoverlast gehad van de buren en de buitenomgeving. Dit hotel verdient niet de naam hotel maar alleen hostel, zo verwar je de klanten ook niet. Absoluut geen aanrader. Enige voordeel was dat het goed te bereiken was met de metro en trein.

В принципе все нормально, но учтите, что отель расположен в молодежном квартальчике и там все достаточно демократично. По соседству шаверма, бигмаки. Из окон железная дорога S-ban. Но это удобно. Но в принципе номер чистый и вцелом гостиница стоит своих денег.

The curtains were not long enough so sun light would come in the room in the morning and it was impossible to walk around in the room not fully clothed. Futhermore the hotel hot iron didn't work.

A&O Berlin am Zoo, great if you are a deep sleeper

The room I got was on the second floor, with its window on the same level with the terrace bar. That meant that people were sitting and drinking literally next to my window. Although the terrace bar was only officially open between 6 PM and 12 AM, people had the habit of sitting out there and drink their own beer at any time of the day. My bed was right next to the window, so you can imagine... In other words, if you want to sleep in late after a night of clubbing in Berlin, make sure you don't get a room on that level, because you will be awaken at 9 AM by random people talking next to your window. Further, the cleaning lady had this weird habit of barging in the room and changing the towels, rubbish, even though I was in the room and in the bed, in pyjamas. Otherwise, the hotel is ok. Has a good breakfast, friendly (though not too quick) staff and great central location.

Für junge Leute ohne außergewöhnliche Ansprüche

Unser Zimmer war sauber aber nicht sehr geräumig. Für Leute mit leichtem Schlaf könnte die Lage des Hotels zu einem Problem werden, da die Ansagen des Bahnhofs deutlich hörbar sind. Das hat uns aber nicht gestört. Das Hotel hat ist auch etwas "dünnwändig". Für junge Leute ist es aber eine gute Unterkunft mit super Lage.
