Pleasant, calm and convinient location hotel in Charlottenburg area in 10 min of walk from Kurfurstendamm Shopping Street, closer to metro station where you can alway catch the train to go everywhere where you want in Berlin. In zone of this hotel you can find a lot of cafe, bars, any stores..Generally all the infrastructure needed for a comfortable stay.We are took 5 rooms in this hotels. Rooms are simple and spacious, warm and clean. Looking right like you can see on hotel's photos. Everything is new inside. Especially i want to note great comfortable beds with very convinient pillow and soft blanket, got a delight. Just only one thing what we didn't like is very little light in all the rooms, absolutelly impossible to make up.Breakfast is simple and typical, do not stay hungry=)Service is helpful and pleasant. During time of our staying we saw 3 persons on reception and everybody were russian.So if you come to see a city and don't sit in hotel, this place can me good starting point for discovering Berlin for reasonable money.

Great value, decent breakfast, clean and spacious room. The hotel staff do not speak much English, but they are very helpful and friendly. There is a train and subway station in front the hotel, its district is pretty much commercial with many shops, if you wanna go out to eat or party won¿¿¿t find anything around in a walking distance, but as a said before the good public transportation is right in front of the hotel to take you anywhere in Berlin.I really felt very welcomed during my stay.

A very unimposing entrance. However free coffee in the lobby. Obviously a very old property with high ceilings. Dimly lit corridors. I had a great big room with a TV that was so far away I needed binoculars to see it. it had a kitchenette just off and a shower room. Not a particularly good shower room. No light over the mirror and only a dim light in the ceiling. But the room was clean and it was warm. I only slept in 1 of the 3 beds and double bed settee that were in the room. However the one I tried was very comfortable. Funny lift which doesn't stop on every floor, but it meant that we didn't have to hump our suitcases up too many stairs. The breakfast was o.k. , perfectly adequate. The staff were all very efficient and patient with us non German speakers. The whole decor was bland. However if this place were treated to a facelift it would be a superb building, and hotel. But with its proximity to the U ban and S ban it wouldn't be the price it is now. Would I go back? I was there to work on a trade fair at the Messe which is only a 7 Euro taxi away, so it's location was why I chose it. So for work yes I would. For leisure with my wife, probably not..

A long weekend in Berlin means you need a central location, and if you want to live in western Berlin near Kurf¿¿rstendamm the Abendstern is in the right spot. With U- and S-Bahn just outside the door getting anywhere is easy, and kiosks and food (try Didis Currywurst!) is always available. In daytime, the pedestrianised Wilmersdorfer Stra¿¿e just around the corner offers shopping and a mall as well.Checking in and out was no trouble, and the staff did their job. Be aware that the elevator stops between floors only and doesn't go all the way down, so be prepared to carry your luggage a bit.The room itself was a rather small single, but with a high ceiling, which was good. A large cupboard was provided, and spacious for a single room. Not having a reachable table beside the bed was a bit annoying, and the carpet not too clean, but everything else was ok. Do be aware, however, that the doors are nothing near soundproof, so more than likely you'll wake up due to passing people in the hallway in the morning. Noise from water pipes also sounds like a mild thunderstorm at times. Do, by the way, make sure to order an ensuite room if you want it; some rooms apparently have shared facilities.The breakfast lacked hot food except sausages, but was otherwise good and served until 11 in the weekends. Here you really noticed the hotel's Russian management (really common in Berlin with a large Russian minority), with the breakfast lady starting trying to get rid of people a bit before closing time ¿¿¿ turning lights off and declaring the breakfast for over. Oh, well.In all, the price and location is very good. The noise was a bit annoying, but otherwise things were as expected for this type of Berlin hotel.

This is a budget hotel, so go in with the right expectations. It covers all the basics (24-hour front desk, clean rooms, ensuite bathrooms, ok bed) and nothing more. Breakfast is adequate. Location is ideal, directly across the street from a S-bahn station with easy access into central Berlin.
