Hotel berhampiran Okowerk, Berlin

Overall Experience Impressive property that reflects the care and attention to detail management and staff have devoted to this gem. While it isn’t next door to the Mall of Berlin (20-minute subway ride away) and does not have the city-center bustle (meh), Hotel Louisa’s Place has an old-world charm with all the modern conveniences needed for a very comfortable stay. I will stay here on my next trip to Berlin and I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a comfortable alternative to the corporate chain hotels. Room: Very much liked the room floorplan. It was like a 1-bedroom apartment with a separate living/dining/kitchen area and a patio with a table for two overlooking the courtyard. The bathroom was spacious with a huge shower. The 12-foot-high ceilings with ornate crown molding and large windows made it seem very grand. We felt as though we had a posh European flat for our week in Berlin with all the amenities of a very nice hotel. Location: I was surprised to learn that everything we needed during our stay was within walking distance. We found three grocery stores and more restaurants than we had time to try all within a 5–10-minute walk. There was also an abundance of other shops and stores near the hotel. The U-Bahn (subway) station was 1 block from the front door. The S-Bahn (main city-wide trains) station was a 8-10-minute walk or you could walk to the U-Bahn and ride it to the next stop and shorten the walk to the S-Bahn. We did not need a rental car since all of our activities were accessible from the nearby subway or train. Price: I did my homework and found this hotel to be well-positioned in the market. Value for money was very good. So glad we did not stay in the chain hotel we were considering. Service: Unlike American hotels post-pandemic, housekeeping was done every day of our stay with fresh towels as needed. They emptied the trash bins and collected recycled containers and generally tidied up. All staff were very friendly and eager to help with any questions and requests we had. Cleanliness: All aspects of this hotel were well tended to. I typically wipe down drawers and shelves before putting clothes away. That was not necessary at this hotel. The bathroom and kitchen were very clean, and I was impressed by how this older building has been meticulously upgraded and maintained.

An sich war alles in Ordnung. Das einzige was halt sehr schade ist, sind die dreckigen und total verkalkten duschköpfe... Das Klopapier ist zu rau und auch die kissen sind nicht so gemütlich gewesen... Aber am sonsten wars in Ordnung.... Man könnte auch dafür sorgen, dass jeder der im Zimmer ist einen eigenen Schlüssel bekommt, statt dass sich alle ein Schlüssel teilen müssen.

Stayed here in July 2022. What an ugly and dated hotel. Room needed repainting, a good clean, new furniture and the carpet on the stairs was in poor condition. The water in the shower didn't get hot. Terrifying lift, do not use unless necessary. Incredibly bad Wi-Fi (connection drops continuously) and is really poor the rest of the time. Our room was over the Shisha bar and all evening the smell of Shisha flooded the room. It was really hot in Berlin, so we needed the windows open, but then had to breathe Shisha smoke for hours. I had an asthma attack because of it. The receptionists were friendly, which was probably the only plus for this really sh*tty hotel. AVOID!

I chose this hotel as I was touring Berlin with a friend for a few days, but he was arriving a couple of days later than me. This proved to be a great option in terms of budget, distance from the city centre and proximity to public transport. Once you come up the steps from the U-Bahn at Siemenssdamm, it’s immediately to your right. The member of staff in the reception was warm and friendly and spoke very good English as my German is not very good after studying it a little at school 25 years ago. The room was large, very clean, and well-equipped. It was too warm for me, and turning the air con down didn’t help, but the window opens very wide. The bathroom also had a bath which was a bonus. The bed is firm which I really enjoyed, but I appreciate that won’t be to everyone’s liking. I’m sure I requested the room not to be serviced but the maid had been in every day. I didn’t use the TV but the Wi-Fi was a little patchy and slow at times. There is plenty of plug sockets including one near the bed. There was a soft light on the floor lamp and a desk lamp which was great. I had the buffet breakfast one morning, which had a great and varied selection of hot and cold food, this included cereals, bread, cold meats, cheeses, eggs, sausages, fresh juice, tea, and coffee. There is a supermarket across the road open till 10 pm, which was handy to get food for dinner. Yeah, it is quiet, and felt safe. I couldn’t hear any noise from any adjacent rooms. If I’m visiting Berlin in the future on my own, I will probably stay here again.

Not a great start to my visit when I found my room was still in a state of chaos from previous occupants. I was given another room and settled in. The pillows were awful, with big lumps, and hollows; however the shower was great. The bed was very firm, which is not what I like but may suit others. Sadly despite double glazing the room was very noisy as it was first floor at the front directly up from a busy the road. The room, bed and towels were clean and the hairdryer worked. Probably wouldn’t stay again due to noise, hard bed and rubbish pillows… they made for four uncomfortable and broken nights.

This is a really “five stars” hotel, very clean .. high speed internet and close to amenities and food centre … Highly recommended .. Five Star Rating

We stayed there as prices were highly attractive at 83 euro a night, that was the main interest, seeing the hotel location, between Spanndau and West Berlin center (ku dam). The hotel is recently renovated, reception, main hall and the rooms are all pretty, new and modern. The corridors are clean but showing this is clearly a large business venue accommodating business travellers mainly (Siemens HQ Is in the same street). We were slightly upgraded thanks to my Diamond elite status, but it was a ”new” room kind off, not a suite or anything fancy, so they done the bare minimum on status recognition. The room wasn't necessarily very clean on day 1, there was sand on the chair and on the floor. The pool in the basement is nice, but rather small. There is a Scandinavian type sauna as well, and plenty towels can be found by the pool so you don't need to bring yours from the room. To be noted, on the external wall across the sauna, there is an original painting by Thierry Noir, a famous Berlin based street artist, well known for his worl on the East Side gallery back in 90's. Don't miss it ! I saw it by chance and instantly recognised his style, but the hotel isn't promoting its existence, pity. Breakfast was pretty good by all standards, plenty of choice on the buffet, to accommodate all possible diets, baked goods, cold meats, pancakes and fruit salad, real coffee of any kind you want. Plenty of free parking on the streets when we stayed, so we didn't have to use the hotel parking (25 € a day). The only con was the check-in experience on our 2nd stay, very dry, no smile, not friendly at all, by opposition to our first visit few days before. Good place, metro nearby, modern hotel. If you can accommodate with the commuting by metro, or come to berlin by car, its a good hotel

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.

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.
