Hotel berhampiran Geschüzte Grünanlage, Berlin

I have never been to hotel like the Fontane! Beyond the physical elements, like the size of the single room (with windows shaped like in a yacht or a cruise ship cabin), the cleanliness, the strong hot water pressure in the shower, through diverse and delicious breakfast, ending with a fair price (you can charge in all conscience a double price). On top of all that, what is heartening is the cordial attitude and willingness to help with solving of unexpected problems that may have occur during a journey, like something that has happened to me. After travelling and staying for two weeks in Dresden, I got late to the Berlin airport by train and missed my flight home. After arriving from the airport, Ihad no problem with cheking in late at night. During a stay of four nights, the reception staff made a great effort in helping me with digital booking of a new ticket to Tel Aviv (I had many technical problems with using my digital platforms). Finally, they have helped me with searching and finding a travel agency in Berlin; without their help, I would not be able to buy a ticket and come back home. The remoteness from the city center of Berlin is a worthy cost of such a great treatment. Thank you! Val Friedman

Second time to be here. Location is not that far from the airport but the bus takes long wait. The staff told me the shuttle service is no longer available, so you have to take either taxi or bus. Room quality is good. The Vibes in the lobby is good too. Everyone else get a welcome drink in the bar.

Stayed at the hotel after a few days in Leipzig ahead of an early morning flight. We were slightly apprehensive given the low cost of the hotel room (less than 70 euros for the night) however we were pleasantly surprised. Hotel is really clean and has all the amenities you need for a pre flight stay. The hotel is not located to any bars/restaurants or shops so wouldn’t recommend for anything other than a stay before/after a flight. The receptionist was excellent and there was vending machines which supplied snacks, water and alcohol as there isn’t a hotel bar. The hotel offers taxis to and from airport which can be booked under hotel room. In addition, no room keys or cards are given - just a code which means you don’t need to check out. All in all a good hotel.

The front desk staff was very accommodating in getting me into my room quite early after an overnight flight. Rooms leave much to be desired. Beds are very tiny - what a toddler would sleep on. Beds are very, very firm. Room and bathroom weren't very clean. I had my 'do not disturb' sign on my door and received a knock from housekeeping. Repeatedly. When I went to the door, thinking the sign must have fallen off, the housekeeper pushed past me, handed me my 'do not disturb' sign and insisted I replace it with the 'clean my room' sign. It is a 20-30 minute drive to city center. The area is questionable for walking around on your own as a female traveler.

Nette Idee das die Familienzimmer zweitägig sind. Trotz Autobahn Nähe war es ruhig auf dem Zimmer. Frühstück war gut, MC Donalds und E Lader direkt um die Ecke. Viele Osteuropäische Arbeiter im Hotel und Abends manchmal etwas lauter. Klimaanlage auch zum Heizen top.

The hotel is very well located next to a metro station and in front of it there is a bus, M85 that takes you to the main train station. The Turkish place next door offers amazing fresh kebabs. The city tour bus is just 20 min walk or couple of stations ride. The room was clean, the breakfast was having good varieties. The only missing part was the air conditioner, but the weather was good and we could sleep the night without it.

This is great if you stay in Berlin for a few days. It’s good that public transport is right outside the hostel. It’s a bit far from the main city so you will have to get a few public transport to get there. The beds are squeaky but comfortable enough. The television is in German which is expected. There is no rooms with a shower or toilet in them, so you will have to walk to the shower and toilet. It is a shared bathroom. You will need to give separate deposit if you need towels and utensils and to wash and dry your clothes. The deposit can only be made in cash. There are no bins in the room but the rooms do have a fridge and a locker and a table and chairs. The hostel is great for sleeping and then leaving the next day to do activities.

It’s a really nice location and great service. However, better be aware with the strangers inside the room as my room experienced a guy who came in without a card and the next day some of our roommate lost their thing. Besides, it’s still a great hostel, I met lots of great friends there, especially if you are alone, it’s a really great opportunity to hangout with others.

A very affordable option that you should look at if you do not mind the distance. It is right outside of the main city, but it’s clean and safe, there’s a fantastic local pub down the road.
