Guest Reviews
- Mike (9/5): Recommend - Excellent Nothing
- Anna (10/5): -
- Steffi (9/5): - Sauberes Zimmer und Bad. Erstaunlich ruhig, obwohl mitten im Kiez.
- Zoi (8/5): Convenient location and cozy vibe - Really liked the location
Felt like I was visiting a friend’s home
Comfortable and with two big common bathrooms I’m not sure but maybe the bathrooms weren’t cleaned every day
It’s on the ground floor and cafes tables are outside your window so you could hear some talking in the morning
When I messaged the host they replied to me after i texted them for a second time and in German not in English but afterall we were really happy with the place

- Sophia (6/5): Solides Zimmer in schöner Umgebung, Sauberkeit und Ausstattung eher mittel. - Tolle Lage, Zimmer war sehr solide, Bett bequem Das Gemeinschaftsbad wurde in den 6 Tagen in denen wir da waren, nicht geputzt und keine Handtücher gewechselt. Zimmer hatte keinen Spiegel und Netflix hat nicht funktioniert. Auch war die Unterkunft schlecht zu erreichen und wir konnten unser Gepäck leider auch nicht abstellen. Auch fanden wir die Möglichkeit schön, im angegliederten Café zu frühstücken, allerdings war es leider geschlossen wegen Osterferien. Das ist natürlich sehr verständlich, wäre aber gut gewesen vorher zu wissen.
- Irene (10/5): Es war super 👍 - Sehr gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis
- Angelika (9/5): -
- Rhabea (9/5): War schön 🥰 - Es war klein und gemütlich. Das Frühstück nebenan ist Mega und die betreibenden sind auch lieb. Für uns hat es super gepasst
- Ute (7/5): Alles in allem war es für eine Nacht sehr verkehrsgünstig gelegen. - Das Personal war sehr fürsorglich, da mein Zimmer noch nicht fertig war, obwohl Anreisezeit angegeben war. Ich bekam einen Kaffee mit Kuchen gratis für meine Wartezeit. Im Flur gab es auch eine kleine Küche für Selbstversorger. Ich habe bei der Buchung nicht darauf geachtet, dass es nur Gemeinschaftsdusche/-toilette über den Flur gibt.

- Roberta (8/5): Ci ritornerei - La pensione si trova a circa 5 minuti di distanza dalla metro, il che non è male in termini di spostamenti.
Camera pulita, i bagni comuni anche.
E' positivo il fatto che il proprietario abbia anche un caffè dove poter andare a far colazione la mattina, super comodo.
Sarebbe carino però, come accortezza in più poter magari offrire un 10% di sconto per chi soggiorna nella pensione. La nostra stanza dava sul lato strada e sotto la nostra finestra c'era un tavolino (del caffè).
Non è bello doversi svegliare perchè due clienti si mettono a chiacchierare della loro vita parlando ad alta voce. Anche questa la vedrei come una piccola accortezza verso i clienti.
- Edward (8/5): -
- Chao-Yang (5/5): - It is located nearby public transportation that is convenient.
The room and public area are also clean, and the heating and warm water are working.
The WiFi is good. It is a simple WG so it is only suitable for 1-day stay because everything is simple.
It is easy to be disturbed by either neighboring room or outside ..
The owner only provide minimal information and didn't reply the message ..

- Ricardo (10/5): -
- Angelika (6/5): - Keine Abstellmöglichkeit in den Bädern
- Maximilian (7/5): -
- Ieva (8/5): Great value for money - Location and cleanness The room was facing the street on the 1st floor and at times it got loud (people outside), but otherwise - little traffic noise and all really good. Nice neighbourhood.
- Görög (10/5): -
- Markus (6/5): Öffnungszeiten des CheckIn sollten beachtet werden - Zimmer grundsätzlich ok und zweckmäßig ausgestattet, allerdings mit Gemeinschaftsbad. Café und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Es lief alles extrem ungünstig aufgrund fehlender Kommunikation. Schlechte Kommunikation, Gastgeber reagierte im Vorfeld nicht auf Anfragen, Nacht-CheckIn war daher nicht vorbereitet, auch Booking.com konnte niemanden erreichen. Erst nach Buchung eines teuren, kurzfristigen Ersatzzimmers war dann doch CheckIn möglich - daher doppelt und teuer bezahltes Zimmer mit Gemeinschaftsbad. Kühlschrank ist laut und hell, musste ich ausstecken, um schlafen zu können, TV ging leider nicht. Keine Bereitschaft, Schadenersatz zu leisten.
- Frank (8/5): - Locatie Niets. Eenvoudig maar goede prijs
- Petra (9/5): -
- Susanne (4/5): - Ich habe nicht gefrühstückt, aber das Essen in der Kaffeepension ist gut und recht günstig. Bitte machen Sie das Zimmer gemütlicher. Es fehlt ein Vorhang.
Dadurch wirkt es sehr trist.
Die Matratze war gut, nicht zu hart. Die Bettwäsche gut, da sie zugeknöpft werden kann ist und nicht, wie oft, einfach nur eingefaltet ist.
Man muss Oropax dabei haben, wegen der Gespräche auf der Straße.
Bitte sorgen Sie dafür, dass der Rollladen sich ganz nach oben ziehen lässt!
Für kurzen Aufenthalt: okay.
- Romahn (8/5): -
- Kai (5/5): - Mega Frühstück
Mega nette Leute In die Jahre gekommen.
Das Gemeinschaftsbad müsste neu gemacht werden.
- John (9/5): a place worth staying when in Berlin - the price was extremely good value for the money, it was really clean which is the most important, towels were provided and the bathrooms spacious. the location is also very convenient many food places, stores, U5 and S-Bahn down the street so short commute anywhere in the city we couldn’t find the cutlery, we didn’t ask the staff about it though
- steppsken (6/5): - Bad sauber, Bett bequem Telefonisch nicht erreichbar, keine Rechnung auf Anforderung erhalten
- Laura (1/5): -
- Carmen (8/5): - Gute Lage, alles da, was ich brauche Erdgeschoss, schlecht zum Lüften..
- Juan Zamphiropolos (1/5): I will never recommend this place - Nothing I wrote the hotel like 1 month before my arrival that I made a mistake and needed to cancel or rebook. Nobody reply for like 20 days. After I send another email/request they simply answer that this is not possible. They had planty of time to sell the room again. But they didnt want to. I will never recommend such a place to stay. They just dont care
- Ebba (10/5): Mycket bra boende om du inte söker något socialt skulle jag säga - Enkel incheckning trots att vi var sena på kvällen, väldigt bra städat i både vårt rum och delade utrymmen. Tyst & lugnt. Nära till tunnelbanan och även att gå ner till Boxhagener Platz med många bra restauranger och barer. Väldigt nöjda! Vattenkokaren kan ses över, annars var allt bra!
- Fabian (9/5): -
- Elfi (8/5): -
- Lena Christina (10/5): - Tolle Lage, sauber, alles bestens!
- Mikhail Svetlichnyi (10/5): -
- Mrázová (7/5): - It was quiet inside, near U-Bahn. Spider webs and other old dirt, shared bathroom cleaned once a week only.
- Subashish (7/5): Good - Location is good with lots of places to eat and close to public transportation and grocery stores.
There are 2 shared bathrooms for 4 rooms but it was always available and clean. The rooms are on ground floor and right next to street. When the windows are open, it sometimes get noisy.
- Laura (8/5): Simple place and good value for money - Good location, clean common bathrooms and comfortable beds No soap in the showers even though dispensers where there
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Armenakis (9/5): Superb -
- Fruzsina (9/5): Superb - 10 minutes walk from s-bahn. everything you need you just have to go outside :) it was very cozy! Since its groundfloor at night we heard everything from outside,people arguing in front of the window etc..🥲
- Dániel (8/5): Very good -
- Nina (10/5): Fantastic value for price - Very comfortable and clean room at great location (U-Bahn and trams very close by). There's 2 bathrooms shared between 4 rooms but that was never an issue, the check-in process is really fast - just go to the cafe next door and ask for the key. Everything was great
- Vojtěch (8/5): overall good stay for reasonable prize - great price/output ratio, near U-bahn, clean Bathroom could smell nicer. Also, you could here some noises from the street
- Robertoalberio (7/5): Staff ok, room ok - La comodità Lo staff al bar
- Henry (8/5): Nice and comfy stay in quiet area. - Clean bathroom (2 across 4 rooms) with good heating. Welcome bottle of sparkling water and tea and coffee provided. Good heating. Decent location overall - quiet neighbourhood. There is a weird behind space in one of the bathrooms that means you can access the other bathroom though a nook - this should be fixed. I didn't get any check in instructions until I messaged them an hour before my arrival. No working blinds so there was light in the room and noise from the street (ground level).
- Paul (7/5): Good - Location Shared bathrooms, quite old.
- Ruth (9/5): Enjoy Berlin from a great value accommodation with the best food next door. - Next door to a wonderful cafe-coffeehouse. Best breakfasts. Clean and provided refrigerator, tea kettle, microwave. Good value in Berlin. Nothing.
- Peter (7/5): Good - Great cafe.
Good location with excellent public transport links (U5 Samariterstrasse is 5 mins walk). Interesting immediate neighbourhood
No private bathroom but with 2 good sized bathrooms for 4 bedrooms that was not a problem Nothing.
- Linda (10/5): Pleasant - Easy contact free check in,
Very clean rooms, very comfy bed.
Great location. If I have to name one thing- it would be the people in the street.
Since it is almost ground level- if there are people chatting at the Café tables or at night someone smoking or just generally for safety - u have to keep the windows closed
- Tuomas (9/5): Very nice stay, cozy place and nice neighbourhood in good location. - Very clean and cozy in excellent price.
- Tami (7/5): Comfortable, convenient, clean pension with a cafe next door. Great base for exploring the city. - Affordable in a working class neighborhood (Samariter Quarter). About 5 blocks from the U-5. Plenty of affordable eateries and groceries. Not enough electrical outlets to charge phones overnight. Really need a USB power strip for phones and watches so we don’t have to unplug a lamp or the fridge.
- Alex (5/5): Poor place, max to stay for 1-2 days - The location is good and quiet during the night. There is a fridge in the room and shared teapot and microwave in the corridor. Two shared bathrooms, though inside of them was pretty cold due to always opened huge window.
Wifi was ok. Not enough air in the room, but you can't open windows, since it's ground floor and there are tables right out of the windows.
The condition of the room is very poor and room was very unclean. There was only one socket, and it was falling out of the wall and wires were exposed, it was very dangerous and unsafe to charge the phone.
During two days there was no cleaning of the bathroom.
The venue does not accept cards, cash only.
- Aina (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice room and the toilets were fresh
- Elsa (6/5): VERY CLEAN!! nice location, tricky check in, loud street noise - incredibly clean (cleanest shared space I have ever stayed in!)
great location in the city!
On site cafe is very nice to have check in is a bit confusing (you must go to the counter of the coffee shop, and the pension is unmarked)
as other reviews say, the street noise outside is very loud, even with the windows closed.
- Julia (8/5): Very good -
- Tamara (6/5): Has all the basics, very loud on the weekend - Has all the basic amenities. We could enter the room early which was nice cause we arrived via night bus. There is 24h vending machine/Späti arround the corner with seating right under the hotel windows. It got super loud in the night (especially weekend). It occasionally smelled like weed in the room, cause the machine sells CBD.
- Almanya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Barry (8/5): Good value room. - Good value. Easy to use underground. Cafe did not open till 9am.
- Noelle (8/5): Very good - Everything about the room and the bathrooms was great. I had difficulty getting into the building after hours, even though I was told it was OK to arrive at 8pm. The instructions about how to access the key were not clear - and could be improved!
- Christina (7/5): Good - +Good location
+Very clean, especially the bathrooms, one comment on which is: 4 rooms share 2 bathrooms. Not really an issue, but I am pointing it out, because it wasn't until we got there that we realised that's the case.
+Quick responses of host on the booking chat
+Price -Safety: Our room was on the ground floor, with the window facing the pavement, and the doors were old and not very sturdy. If sb tried to break into our room, they would probably succeed.
- Hedley (8/5): Very good - Complimentary carbonated water . Wi fi Poorly draining shower. Soap dispensers empty. Window shutter tape dirty. Single duvet on double bed too small for one.
- Anna (6/5): Pleasant -
- Agastya (8/5): Very good -
- Marije (10/5): Exceptional - It’s a nice place. Clean room with all necessary facilities. 4 bedrooms share two bathrooms. I never heard or saw the neighbors although they must have been there. Bathroom was always clean and available. The curtain was not connected so strongly and fell down when I opened it.
- Kayley (9/5): Great location, very clean facilities - Great location! So many food spots around and the metro is not too far to walk to.
All facilities were very clean and easy to use.
Netflix on the tv was easy to set up as well.
- Lot (8/5): Very good - Good beds, Netflix, excellent location in a very nice neighbourhood close to public transport, little shop next door. We opened the window to let some fresh air in, but there was too much noise to sleep, so we closed it.
- Magdalena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Phạm (9/5): Superb -
- Banriskhem (10/5): Very nice and comfortable stay - Comfortable Rooms Checkout time is too early
- Hans (10/5): I had a lovely stay here with a friend, slept like a baby and had some great breakfast. - The beds were very comfortable. It was lovely to go to the café in the morning to eat a delicious meal to start off your day, and there was a clear communication for where the keys where located! The fridge was a bit loud
- Richard (8/5): Very good - Excellent location in a quiet area of Friedrichshain, but still with plenty of bars/restaurants and the most lively areas well within walking distance. Twin room was simple with two beds, a fridge, small table and chairs and a clothes cabinet. Two bathrooms for 4 rooms meant waiting was never an issue and everything was clean throughout. Quick to access as it was ground floor. Window faced outside to the street front with outdoor seating at a cafe directly adjacent, so it was a bit noisy and lacked privacy. Shared facilities were very basic with just a kettle - no sink or dishes etc.
- Irina (9/5): Superb -
- Laura (7/5): Kaffeefreunde review - The bedroom was big enough, and the bed really confortable The bathrooms were not very clean. And there were not either toilet paper nor soap.
- Ricardo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ricardo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Johanne (9/5): Superb - Wonderful, clean room. Friendly service and great Vibe at the café :)
- Dylan (10/5): Exceptional - super helpful staff and great value. you do get some people drinking outside your window as your the ground floor until the later hours. Nothing to be done about it though.
- Solo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pierre (10/5): Exceptional -
- Barnabás (8/5): Very good - Good public transportation and shopping opportunities in the close neighborhood. The room was cosy and even got a television with netflix membership. The room had a huge window, which in open state limited our mobility and the access of the bed from the inner side. Other than that the room was well equipped.
- Amina (10/5): The room was very cozy! it is perfect if you are always on the go and want a location close to the main areas in the cit - The room was very cozy! it is perfect if you are always on the go and want a location close to the main areas in the city. Also the neighborhood is amazing!!! full of life, culture and street art! It is also perfect for a long stay, with the café next door you can work in their outdoor or indoor area and make use of the rare sunny days. Can’t wait to go back!!! Danke schön Kaffeefreunde !
- Amina (9/5): Superb -
- Annika (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay. The bed was super comfortable. The food + drinks in the Café were superb -
- Cameron (9/5): Perfect for a city break - The property was ideal for what I needed. It was spotless and the staff were friendly! Very close to the subway station with links across Berlin. There was no blind or curtains.
- Zoé (8/5): Very good -
- Darko (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sasano (8/5): Very good -
- Pieter (8/5): Good rooms with noisy café outside. - Beds are good, space in the room was nice. Two bathrooms for 4 rooms is good. There was a fan which was needed during this very hot weather. Location was excellent just off the U5 and with not a lot of traffic and lots of cafés ans shops around the corner. The noise from the café outside the window can be quite loud.
