Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located just next to Ostbahnhof and the East Side Gallery, making it a great spot to explore Berlin from. The rooms were exactly what we needed – clean and affordable, but could use a ceiling light. The service was efficient and friendly, with staff accommodating my request for a quiet room before an important meeting. The dining options were decent, though lacking fresh fruit, and there were some parking issues noted. Overall, a practical choice for a stay in Berlin.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room was modern and clean, although a bit small for three people. The service was friendly and accommodating, making up for the lack of housekeeper service. The location was great, with a stunning view from the window, and close to important stations and techno clubs. Dining options were simple but not the freshest. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel rooms were kind of small, but completely worth the price, brand new, and very clean with a view at the TV tower. The service was rude and not pleasant; they forced us to pay an additional 15 euros for early check-in and didn't care for ruining clothes, which was quite frustrating. However, the location was excellent, right next to the Ostbahnhof station, and within a short distance of major clubs in East Berlin. The dining experience was generally good, but very subpar for the money. Overall, considering our viral situation, the hotel offered great value for money.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were fresh and clean, but unfortunately, they were not set to be operating, resulting in uncomfortably warm temperatures, especially on the 10th floor. The service was friendly and helpful, with a small mishap of entering the room while we were still inside. The location was convenient, close to the train station, but some improvements are needed in services. The dining options were good for the price, offering a variety of food choices. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is small but comfortable, ideal if you just need a place to sleep in. The rooms were very warm, which was great as it was freezing outside, but they were really small and not finished being renovated yet. The service had a slight attitude, making me feel like I was a bother, but they were always helpful. The location was perfect for our short city trip, right next to the East Side Gallery and near the Mercedes Benz Arena. However, the dining experience was a little poor for the price. Overall, a decent option for a short stay in Berlin.
The hotel is conveniently located just a step away from one of the most important Berliner stations, Ostbahnhof, offering great connections and proximity to various clubs and attractions. The rooms, albeit a bit dark, are very nice, clean, and come with fast WiFi at a reasonable price. However, the service at Meininger could be improved as the reception staff appeared impolite and overwhelmed by the number of guests. The dining options were basic and slightly overpriced for the quality provided, but you have the convenience of hot and cold sandwiches available. Despite some shortcomings, the location is outstanding, being close to iconic spots like Berghain, Watergate, and Tresor, making it a prime spot for exploring the city's nightlife.
I couldn't have asked for a more convenient location; being near the Mercedes Benz Arena and having the metro station right across the street made getting around easy. However, the rooms could use some extra attention to cleanliness, especially the dusty tiny table and wardrobe. The service was a mix of helpful suggestions for exploring the city and some issues with the cleaning staff intruding without warning. The dining options were somewhat pricey for what was offered, but the fantastic location made up for it.
Despite the lack of room cleaning and small size, the hotel was surprisingly spacious compared to the pictures. The service was a mix of friendly and slightly bothered attitudes. The location was great for easy access to transportation and attractions, but dining options were limited and overpriced.
The hotel is conveniently located near the East Side Gallery and train station, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms are on the smaller side and could use more lighting, but they are suitable for a good night's sleep. The service was exceptional, with a willingness to accommodate guests' needs. The dining options were limited, but the area offers many restaurant choices. Overall, a well-located hotel with great service and comfortable rooms.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean, spacious, and facing the open street and train station, making it convenient for travel. The staff was incredibly helpful, and the location, just a few meters away from the train station, was ideal. However, there were some issues with the service, particularly regarding unexpected room entries and additional charges for early check-in.
The hotel is situated in a vibrant location, ideal for exploring East Berlin, with close proximity to the Mercedes Benz Arena and excellent connections to various attractions. The rooms, although on the smaller side, offer a cozy stay despite occasional temperature issues. The service, while lacking attentiveness, gives guests the freedom to handle some tasks independently. Dining offers a variety of choices but comes at a premium. Overall, a decent option for those seeking affordability and easy access to key destinations.
The hotel is unbelievably well designed, making the small rooms feel much more spacious and pleasantly clean. The friendly service was accommodating, even adding extra touches to the room while we were there. The location is perfect, close to both city center and the Ostbahnhof train station. The dining options are worth it, offering a variety of choices. However, the price can be a little high for what you get.
