Hotel Abendstern

I would never book hostel type accommodation, but that’s exactly what we ended up with here.
The place was badly misrepresented, being old, quirky and in need of refurbishments. The carpets in the public areas were threadbare in places. Encountering other “guests” in passing, left you with an uneasy feeling.
Where “Apartment” comes in, I do not know. We were lead to believe that this accommodation was separate from the hotel, but it was just a room in the hotel, the size of a prison cell. Nothing like the picture on the front of the confirmation email from Booking.Com. The “kitchen” area was a joke, with the electric kettle and microwave powered by dangerous trailing leads that didn’t reach the floor.
We were given another room, which although bigger, was totally uncomfortable and lacking facilities. Where were the promised “toiletries”?
The wifi did not work.
There was constant noise at night from loud voices and doors banging.
The receptionist was the rudest person I have ever met, and treated us with contempt as if we were a total nuisance to her.
All the pictures on line make the place look lovely, but the reality is nothing like it.
After complaining to Booking.Com, we checked out after two of our seven booked nights, on the promise of a refund.
Quite the worst accommodation I have ever encountered.
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Es war super

Um die ganzen vorigen Bewertungen und Kommentare etwas zu entkräften:
Wir haben für 2 Übernachtungen für 2 Personen insgesamt 150€ bezahlt. Finde, da sollte man die Erwartungen niedrig halten. Zumal wir bewusst das Hotel nur zum Schlafen ausgesucht haben, ein Wellness-Tempel ist das natürlich nicht. Dementsprechend bekommt unser Aufenthalt ein solides OK.

POSITIV:
- direkte S-/U-Bahn-Nähe (2 min zu Fuß)
- Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Frühstückscafé (Empfehlung "Cafe au Lait") und Restaurants (Empfehlung "Luardi") sind um die Ecke
- schöner Altbau
- sehr nettes Personal am Empfang
- Zimmer und Bad sauber, wenn auch renovierungsbedürftig
- Frühstücksbuffet viel Corona-bedingt leider flach, stattdessen durften wir uns an kühlen Getränken bedienen, wie wir wollten


NEGATIV
- sehr hellhörig und vom Hof her sehr laut, da im Hof auch Wohnungen sind, von daher schallt es nach oben
- Zimmer renovierungsbedürftig, Bad sollte mal saniert werden
- "Doppelzimmer" bestand aus 2 zusammengeschobenen Einzelbetten, die sich verschoben haben, sobald man sich an das Kopfende angelehnt hat
- Türen nicht wirklich massiv, kein Safe im Zimmer

FAZIT:
Wer mit niedrigen Erwartungen kommt und nur was zum Schlafen sucht und tagsüber lieber Berlin erkundet, ist es perfekt. Man ist in 10 Minuten in der Innenstadt und hat alles was man braucht in Laufweite.

Not bad, size of unit was good for price. Nice windows open to a courtyard view with trees and birds. Surrounding area was a bit sketchy. Train station 50 meters away

Perfekt läge. Mycket prisvärt. Lungt och skönt. Frukostbuffe'n är utmärkt. Nästa gång till Berlin är Abenstern första valet, som 7 gånger tidigare!

Hotellet er et helt greit 3* hotell, god frokost, greie rom, hyggelig personale, sentral beliggenhet, men en litt eldre bygning. Prisgunstig!

Lidt slidt ældre hotel, tæt på U og S baner, morgenmad typisk tysk, alt i alt ok hotel til en lav pris.

Alles was oke behalve de bed. 2x eenpersoons bed. Nadeel zitten wielen onder zonder Rem. Ontbij is super...Locatie is super.. heerlijke falafels op tientallen meters afstand... Veel Vietnamese eet tentjes.... al met al oke.. maar, aan die bed moeten ze wat aan doen want als je naast elkaar wilt slapen gaat dat echt niet lukken door die wielen onder het bed....das echt een domper. al met al de rest is prima.

The location of the hotel is perfect. Very close to the charlottenburg s bahn station from where you can get to Hbf and Alexanderplatz easily. Likewise, you can a direct bus to Txl airport and berlin ZOB. Location was the prime reason for choosing this place.

The staff do speak english ( you have to be careful). Having lived in Germany for few years, I am okay with the fact that the staff will be more straight forward than friendly. As long as they are not rude, its acceptable. I can say the same about the hotel’s staff.

Breakfast is alright. They have variety of cheese, simple bread, brotchen and sausage. I think two to three days of that breakfast is fine. Just make sure you are done eating by 10 am or else they will ask you to leave.

The room itself is okay. For the price, i think its fine. The beds to slide so just be cautious of that. There is no coffee machine or hot water boiler. There is an elevator but it doesn’t go to all floors so there might be a little bit of luggage carrying. The bathroom is a little old with few amenities.

However, the housekeeping is impeccable. Not only did they clean the room, they also folded our clothes. It was really nice.
I do recommend this hotel especially for young people. It is reasonable and is greatly located.

이틀을 머물렀는데 숙소가 좀 낡기는 했지만 전체적으로 깨끗합니다. 저렴한 가격에 조식까지 포함되어 있어서 좋았습니다. 테겔 공항에서 바로 가는 버스가 있어서 찾아 오기도 편하고, 근처에 지하철과 버스 정류장이 있어서 교통도 편합니다. 아쉬운 점은 콘센트가 별로 없어서 머리맡 스탠드를 빼고 꽂아야 했던 점이 불편했습니다.

Hotel war ok. Man darf nicht viel erwarten. Aufzug zwar vorhanden, jedoch nur in den halbetagen. Nichts für gehbehinderte Menschen.
Bad auch klein.Nur dusche Vorhanden, aber klein und eng.

Hotelli haisi homeelta.

Stanza spaziosa, pulita, bagno discreto, colazione abbondante, di fronte alla stazione della S-Bahn (Charlottemburg), silenzioso.

Vi ankom, og man vidste ikke at vi havde en reservation, ej heller nummer på denne, altså... Vi var ikke ventet. Fik så omsider alligevel et værelse, som overhovedet ikke svarede til det forventede, jvf foto og beskrivelse.
Efter diskussion med en der hverken kunne godt tysk, og endnu mindre engelsk, kunne vi skifte værelse dagen efter, hvilket vi ikke ønskede, men NU
Fik så omsider et værelse, der NOGENLUNDE svarede til det der var stillet i udsigt ved reservation.
Personale var ikke under opholdet imødekommende.
Da vi ville købe to vand i receptionen ( to euro) og betalte med 5 euro, blev vi opfordret til at købe 3 vand, da man ikke kunne give tilbage.....

De foto's komen niet over een met de werkelijkheid het hotel is duidelijk aan een renovatie toe

Onderhoud: douche heeft een wat moeilijke instap/ deuropening is klein. Voegen kunnen beter schoongemaakt. Verwarming heeft een verfbeurt nodig.
Verder is er wel goed schoongemaakt en ziet de kamer er netjes uit

Hôtel idéalement situé à la sortie de la SBahn.
Bon accueil. Grande disponibilité 24h/24h.
chambre agréable et confortable.
seul petit Bémol: la salle de petit déjeuner est trop petite.

Standard mindre hotel. Ok morgenmad og service fra personale. Rent og pænt. God beliggenhed tæt på restauranter, cafeer og togstation.

sehr laut und die Zimmer leider nicht isoliert und sehr hellhörig !

Excelente localização. Só o elevador entre os andares que é meio chato para subir com malas . Mas é um excelente custo benefício!
