Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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.

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.

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?

We opted for the room with the bunkbeds for our family of five. It was nice compact room. The S-Bahn and U-Bahn are very conveniently within walking distance. Parking was easy. There is a nice buffet style breakfast available as well as other bakery options nearby. Plenty of restaurants nearby for lunches and suppers. There is also a very nice park nearby with two historical bunkers with great views of the area.

I wasn’t expecting too much but it did surprise me. It is a basic hotel. Nothing flash but for the price and location (assuming you want to be in the area as I needed to be), it was great. The room was spacious. The only thing to be aware of there are no toiletries - no shampoo, only a very small bar of soap (they do provide towels). There is a shopping mall by the main train station just up from the hotel. The breakfast was good, and the staff helpful. It may feel like a dodgy area but it really is not. Around the corner are many places to eat. If you trek a block or so you’ll find, in my opinion, the best Turkish restaurant in Berlin… Jore.

A Top option for a stay in Berlin, value for mone.

I really enjoyed my stay at CityHotel Berlin. Very friendly staff. Comfy bed and spacious room, the highlight was a frigo bar. It was only too hot and I couldn’t find a way to chill down. Breakfast , superb, with variety and quality in a nice environment facing the trees outside. Location is second to none, 5 minutes walking to Gesundbrunnen station, with trains, U-Bahn, S-Bahn, Buses and convenience stores including a Bio Supermarket. 4 stops til Alexanderplatz, a main central point in Berlin. I would return and certainly highly recommend this property, which surprised in the positive way.

Great for families

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.
