Guest Reviews
- Stefania (9/5): Great stay in a lovely neighborhood. Clean and quiet apartment, and a very kind host. - We had a very pleasant stay in this apartment in Berlin. The studio was very nice, clean and quiet, and we slept really well. The neighborhood is beautiful, full of cafés and restaurants, and in a great location to explore the city.
Stefan was also very kind and allowed us to leave our luggage at the reception on the day of departure, which made our last day much easier.
Definitely a place I would recommend!
- Krisann (10/5): - Location. It was a nice size. Close to a lot of restaurants and public transportation The keys didn’t always work well.
- Pauline (10/5): - Unser Aufenthalt im Ackselhaus war von vorne bis hinten perfekt. Der Self Check-in war super organisiert und die Unterkunft ein Traum. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Sauberkeit, die zentrale Lage sowie der verwunschene Garten mit Brunnen und einer gemütlichen Lounge. Man kommt sich fast vor wie in Frankreich, nicht wie mitten in einer Großstadt.
Wir durften auch kurz den Gastgeber kennenlernen, der überaus freundlich war und nicht nur Fotos von uns gemacht (wir waren eine JGA-Gruppe), sondern uns auch auch einen Kerzenständer vorbeigebracht hat, was den Flair des einzigartigen Gartens noch einmal mehr hervorgehoben hat.
Beim Check-out hatten wir vergessen, den Kühlschrank auszuräumen. Der Gastgeber war so nett, uns die Sachen per Uber-Kurier zuzustellen, wofür wir sehr dankbar waren. Alles in allem eine tolle Erfahrung. Wir können das Ackselhaus nur jedem empfehlen, der schön und zentral, aber trotzdem ruhig wohnen möchte.
- Ivar (9/5): Berlin ist eine Reise wert - Hyggelig og praktisk og sjarmerende opphold ! Uformelt og tilpasset omegnens bankende bydelsliv.
Litt stiv pris- dog må man betale litt for å kunne få oppleve en smak av det ekte i gamle
Berlin Intet
- Patrik (10/5): -
- Perry (9/5): Perfect home base for our trip to Berlin - Cozy, cool, conveniently located
- Ronald (10/5): -

- Bonnie (10/5): Make sure you stay here if visiting Berlin! - The studio room we stayed in was perfect for our 4 day stay in Berlin. We were there at the end of Dec and the studio was lovely and warm the whole time. We had a kitchen area, lounge area, table and chairs and a separate bedroom which was so cosy and silent overlooking the courtyard - we slept so well and the bed was very comfy. We felt really comfortable there and loved our stay. Exploring Prenzlauer Berg was great, so many lovely shops and cafes and bars, all very chilled out and really friendly people. Stefan was amazing throughout and very easy to contact and super helpful in all his replies. Thank you for making it such a wonderful trip to a wonderful city! Honestly, there’s nothing that could improve this stay
- ASieh (9/5): -
- Sahra (10/5): We will come back - Cleanliness, well equipped, location, wonderful host A light above the main entrance door on the street would have been helpful
- Ulrika (10/5): Toppenställe i fina Prenzlauer Berg - Snyggt, personligt, bekvämt med allt man kan tänka sig. Vi älskade det!
- Brigitte (9/5): - Geschmackvolle persönliche Ausstattung mit allem was man braucht und sich wünscht.
- ackx (10/5): Voor herhaling vatbaar! - Mooie, grote familiekamers, wat achteraf gelegen in de woningblok. Heel rustig gelegen in een bijzonder mooie Berlijnse buurt, en tegelijkertijd heel vlot bereikbaar. Hartelijke ontvangst door Stefan. We waren erg tevreden! Absoluut geen tegenvallers gehad!
- Michael (10/5): -
- Sophie (9/5): -
- Maren (9/5): Super Unterkunft für unser Wochenende in Berlin - Schöne Einrichtung und sauberes Badezimmer. Top Lage. Wenn man in der Küche schläft, brummt der Kühlschrank ab und an und die Tür zum Flur schließt nicht ganz, aber ich fand das jetzt nicht sonderlich schlimm :)
- Valerie (10/5): -
- Birgit (8/5): -
- Talila (7/5): - מיקום נעים, דירה חמודה אך מיושנת. עיצוב הדירה ממש יפה ומודרני
- Torsten (10/5): Selten so gut untergekommen! Alles top! - Das Appartement ist mit ganz viel Liebe, super hübsch eingerichtet, die Küche gut ausgestattet, die Betten super bequem, alles sehr sauber und last but not least ist der Vermieter einfach super sympathisch und zuvorkommend. Das Wetter ;-)
- Genevieve (9/5): -
- Jowita (9/5): Schöner Aufenthalt in einer schönen Altbauwohnung. - Sehr schön eingerichtete Wohnung, Altbau, in einer super Lage im Prenzlauer Berg. Sehr sauber.
Check in hat problemlos funktioniert, Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber ebenfalls.
Habe mich in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt, es war sehr ruhig, im Hinterhof gelegen.
Sehr angenehm auch der späte Check out. Die Wohnung liegt in einem nicht sanierten Nebenhaus, zur Wohnung gelangt man durch einen nicht so gepflegten und nachts dunklen Innenhof. Ich kenne das Ackselhaus von früher, das die Wohnung umgebende Ambiente war nicht vergleichbar mit dem schönen Hotelgebäude von damals, auch gibt es das schöne Frühstückscafe nicht mehr. Dadurch zu hochpreisig. Schade auch, dass für den Preis der Check in nicht persönlich war.

- Maartje (10/5): Perfect location, very cosy appartment - Location
Super clean
Very cosy Nothing
- Anna (9/5): Perfect location in fabulous Berlin. - The apartment was lovely. Lots of room, comfortable beds, great little kitchen and fabulous shower. The location is perfect. Easy to get around and to get to. Stefan is so easy to communicate with which makes the stay even more enjoyable. Second stay and hope I can get to Berlin again one day and would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much! Nothing!
- Adrian (8/5): Easy access to cafes, supermarket and trams. Nice tree lined streets in the surrounding area. Manager/owner was very - Quirky and interesting decor. Couldn’t access the external kitchen facilities sometimes as they were locked off.
- Scott (10/5): Great apartment to stay and explore Berlin - Stefan was very helpful and the apartment had everything necessary for a lovely stay. Beautifully decorated, spotless and very comfortable. Location is excellent with restaurants and bars nearby. It is also very quiet. I liked everything.
- S (6/5): Not a hotel room not worth the cost - The interior of the apartment was very clean and beautifully furnished as well as spacious. However it is located in an alley way lined with trash bins and neighbors threw their recycling away right under the bedroom window. There was a slight odor in the apartment because of the trash outside. Not worth the cost. booking.com and/or the host misrepresented what qualifies as a hotel in the search function. I booked what I thought was a hotel according to the description which turned out to be a private apartment.
- Nina (8/5): This was a great space for our family with two sleeping rooms and close to transit and kid parks - Quiet, close to transit, clean, spacious. No direct access to patio, expensive
- Amanda (8/5): -
- G + J (9/5): -
- Rowan (10/5): We couldn’t ask for a kinder staff. The location was perfect for us and the accommodations were terrific. Highly recomme - The accommodations were charming as were the staff. And the location was perfect for us. Nothing. I highly recommend this property. It’s a gem.
- Johnathan (5/5): Passable -
- Livia (9/5): Superb - Lovely place with a character, and a wonderful garden for relaxing with drinks after walking around the city. Great stay for a couple, with kitchen and a small market nearby making it perfect for preparing simple meals. Nice cafes and restaurants nearby too. Thank you to the host, for being extremely friendly and welcoming. We would love to be back. Nothing to point out
- Frau (10/5): Super spot, nice interior - a gem! - Great place to stay, wonderful location and quiet apartment. Would definitely recommend!
- Udi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Funda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Funda (10/5): comfortable stay at a very good location - Very comfortable and easy. It is the third time that we stay at the same property ,like our house in Berlin.
- Wanching (10/5): Exceptional -
- Suzanne (8/5): Fantastic location in former east - near v good transport. Atmospheric. Quiet - Very cosy and clean. Stylish. Loved art on walls.
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maddie (10/5): Exceptional - The best location with easy access to transport. A very cool vibey neighbourhood with cafes and restaurants in walking distance. There is a traditional German restaurant next door which has delicious food and they even invited us to their NYE party which was lots of fun and we say all the locals with fireworks. Very comfortable beds and lots of space for 4/5 people. Definitely recommend!
- Elizabeth (10/5): Cool, relaxing home base to explore Berlin - The home is roomy, comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed for our two day trip to Berlin. It was also situated in a lovely neighborhood with good restaurants and easy access to the tram. Nice and quiet too - slept like a baby! Nothing
- Helena (5/5): Just ok - I had stayed earlier and the property has character. The Internet was not working properly at first and then the heating was not on.
- Lia (10/5): Lovely and Comfortable Stay. - The home is really nice and clean. The bed very comfortable and the host absolutely lovely.
Location was perfect to reach nice restaurants, cocktail bars as well as for exploring Berlin.
The neighbourhood is such a gem! Highly recommended. Nothing.
- Carole (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful location. Unique room - fabulous bathroom! Limited reception hours although staff were very helpful and communication was easy via the app
- Margaret (8/5): Comfortable stay - Comfortable well appointed apartment with small kitchen area. Very close to tram stop. Lots of restaurants nearby. Difficult to unlock the door of the apartment- we had to call the owner late at night when we returned home as we couldn’t unlock the door. Poor Wi-Fi .
- Joanne (9/5): Superb -
- Frances (10/5): Fabulous - Excellent location, gorgeous lay out of the property with everything we needed Nothing, it was all excellent
- Rebecca (9/5): It was the yin to the hectic Berlin bustle. - Very compact, it had everything you needed with a peaceful courtyard to reflect in after busy days. Stefan went out of his way to assist, nothing was too much. The location is in a beautiful calm residential area where you can experience local Berlin life. Nothing
- Funda (9/5): Wonderful stay at a very good location - We had a very good stay in terms of location, rooms, bathroom , comfort and cleanliness. Stephan and Anglika also were very helpful and nice, thanks to both. Not a big issue but would be great if there were a washing machine at the house.
- Helge (9/5): Recommended place to stay, - all well organised, nice and comfortable room, great bed and bathroom, great location, I think the price is slightly at the higher end should be lower, no breakfast opportunity,
- Jeremy (10/5): Highly recommend - Great location. Amazing, comfortable and charming room. Fantastic shower and tub. No complaints whatsoever
- Millicent (7/5): Great location and neighbourhood. Excellent bed! - Fantastic location. Walkable distance to everything with plenty of restaurants, cafes, beer gardens within close proximity. Very quiet neighbourhood out of the hustle and bustle of central. Quite a small space for two people with big suitcases. Room was very warm and stuffy.
- Glenn (6/5): A lovely apartment; some practises need reviewing. - The apartment was lovely. It had pretty much all we needed. The courtyard was a relaxing place to sit. The location was great for the tram, supermarket and places to eat. We were also appreciative that we could check in early, as we arrived there in the morning. Our pleasant stay was spoilt by the practises and unavailability of management. Late one evening the smoke alarms went off several times in the building and no-one answered the phone. But more alarming was that when I asked Stefan for more shower soap and coffee (as very little was given initially), he said he would bring it up later. I explained that we were going out and asked if I could take it then, to which he replied he would bring it into the apartment later. As I was not happy with the thought of someone entering the apartment when we were not there, I asked if he would leave it at our apartment door please, but he insisted he needed to change the shower soap container over himself. On returning to our apartment later, when he had left for the week (only there 8-4pm), we found he had brought the items into our apartment, but also emptied the kitchen rubbish and removed a bag of grocery items we had just purchased, which were sitting ON the kitchen bench. We had no response to our calls/email over the weekend to explain this, and only had a response the following Monday after we had left.
While Stefan was apologetic about removing our bag of food items, it concerns me that this practise of entering a guest's apartment when they are not there, may be onsidered acceptable. Surely there is a better method to provide top up of goods and also contact for guests out of office hours?
- Emma (10/5): An amazing hotel in a fantastic neighbourhood. - Our room (3) was very spacious and the bathroom was just lovely with a roll top bath and tv in the bathroom. The little touches and quirks made the stay very special. The area is amazing, lots of great cafes and restaurants nearby and a great atmosphere. Some of the furnishings could have done with a refresh, such as the bed base. This is a quirky place with lots of personality.
- Anne (5/5): Having visited a long time ago we were looking forward to this visit but it didn't live up to expectations so sadly - Quirky design and decor. Friendly helpful staff. It's all a bit 'tired'. Needs more attention to detail- coffee machine still had used pods in. No cloth supplied for wiping surfaces.
- Michelle (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful room and helpful staff
- Nicola (10/5): Second time staying there. Feels like home - Very cozy; perfect location for me
- Pamela (10/5): Fantastic place to stay! - Stefan was super friendly and helpful. Very comfortable room in a great location, wonderful courtyard Nothing!
- David (10/5): This hidden gem is a must stay! - Great room, comfortable and really quiet. Close to the tram line, getting anywhere was super easy. Good selection of restaurants within a block or two. Bathtub was classic! Staff are the best, very accommodating.
- Ida (9/5): Superb - The apartment was good and spacious but we didn't feel like we were staying in a hotel, moore like in a rented apartment. We met no staff and saw no reception. The courtyard was so lovely and the location is very good!
- Niklas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Artur (10/5): Exceptional -
- Selcuk (10/5): Nice and quite place to stay!!! - Room limited services like room service 24/7 reception 24/7
- Edward (9/5): Great location close to public transport and a diverse selection of restaurants - 2 big rooms for a family, each with a comfortable king size bed and a sofa. The main room also had a kitchenette with fridge/kettle/2 ring hob, and a table and chairs, with plenty of plates/cups/glasses etc. the hotel was next to a supermarket and close to a bakery.
- Thomas (9/5): Superb -
- Funda (10/5): Perfect and very comfortable stay at a very good location. - Everything was perfect; location, comfort, cleanliness. Especially thanks to Stepan for his hospitality and kindness. It but would be better if there were a dishwasher.
- Nicola (9/5): After excursions, it felt like come home ( to the room) - Great location. Quiet Not really anything,; (except there was no physical contact with a receptionist or else.
Felt more like an Airbnb )
- Rowse (10/5): Fantastic apartment. Great location. - Really cool place. Highly recommend. Great location. I liked all of it. I liked all of it. I liked all of it.
- Anya (9/5): Friendly fun adventure with a cosy place to relax after long days exploring - Friendly
Fun decor
Very comfortable bed
Quiet street Nothing
- Benjamin (2/5): a series of unconfort surrounded by lots of amazing food and beauty - amazing food and amazing location one of my favorite spots in Berlin. the indigenous jungle art on the walls and jungle plants everywhere. the furniture the lamps the esthetique and the beauty of these 2 hotels are quite frankly my favorite in Berlin. the courtyards with fish and greenhouses full of plants and amazing furniture from Indonesia. It is the reason I chose this hotel to be surrounded by beauty and nature. bad communication misleading from the start on booking.com the photos were not representative of what I booked. instead of being in a lovely courtyard, I was in the trash courtyard. all the windows were left open, I arrived late because of meetings and the apartment was freezing the heaters didn't work and all the sinks were not properly flushing. I spoke to the manager kindly and understood it was bad communication and not their fault and said I'd be back later to not go into the apartment when I was gone, and they did anyway to me this is a breach of confidence and security, and the reason I spent a lot of money to have an apartment with a full kitchen, etc and a key that I can lock and choose who comes in an out. When I was angry about this and asked the manager to contact me and that I'd be happy to receive compensation for all of the above they became unfriendly and distant and I have not heard from them since. I bumped into other guests of their "sister" hotel next door who had similar experiences, it was i have to say during the Berlin marathon so hotels were super busy, but this doesn't excuse this kind of level of hospitality that initially stems from the practice of hotels sharing photos on booking.com that are not representative of the actual room or apartment you are booking!!!
- Katz (9/5): Superb -
- Kieran (10/5): A fantastic, beautifully designed apartment in a perfect location - Lovely interior design WiFi was a bit on and off
- Dom (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jamie (10/5): This is THE PLACE to stay in Berlin! Beautiful property and fantastic staff. - Fantastic communication from the property. Stefan was the best! Kind and quick to meet our needs.
Beautiful rooms in the perfect location! Half a block from the tram or a short walk to Alexanderplatz. Tucked away from traffic and noise in a lovely neighborhood with friendly locals.
The restaurant/pub nearby is a TRUE GEM! One of the highlights of our stay in Berlin! Unsre Kneipe will leave you wanting more of the food and the people! Not a thing. It was the best part of Berlin for us!
- Sabella (8/5): Great apartment feel with nice restaurants nearby - We stayed in the Family Room which had two bedrooms and a small kitchen/living area Both bedrooms share one bathroom
- Clay (8/5): Very good -
- Danielle (10/5): Everything about this place was perfect. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Stephen - The location of this place is perfect. Close to cafés, unique restaurants, and shops. The space feels quiet and private, but you’re close to everything. The carpeting in the rooms was uncomfortable and scratchy.
- Wolf (10/5): Exceptional - Stellar customer experience.
- Lily (10/5): The stay was lovely, the staff were very helpful and accomodating with the checking in and out. -
- Clytie (9/5): Superb -

- Mary-scott (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stefanie (10/5): Absolutely lovely if you enjoy a small and intimate place with wonderful hosts - The staff was extremely nice. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this lovely place.
If you are seeking for a hotel with breakfast, this isn't the right place. But if you are looking for a small local place with nice hosts, you will enjoy your stay here.
- Røhr-staff (10/5): Exceptional -
- Klaus (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jacqueline (10/5): Perfect I’m so many ways! - The property is lovely. it is not your typical hotel (which is what I loved about it). There was nothing to dislike!

Smooth check-in/out.
Great apartment with separate bedroom
- Yanyu (8/5): Very good -
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Atagun (7/5): Good -
- Brad (10/5): - Our stay was very comfortable. The place is dated but clean and cozy. The beds were very comfortable
- Vicki (1/5): Dangerous, not a safe environment & poor customer service - This hotel is not safe. The minibar exploded leaking dangerous chemicals. We spent most of our stay in the hospital who had to call the national poison authority to help us. The hotel was unable to give us a different room. They have refused to refund us. I strongly recommend noone to stay here as it is not safe
