Hotel Alte Feuerwache

We chose this hotel because we intended to rent a car, and in that respect it worked out well - there’s plenty of parking opposite. Our room was small, with pleasant basic furnishings. It was clean and comfortable, in modern style. The dining facilites are good - nicely decorated, very pleasant and efficient staff, and prices are modest. The food is ok if you look lightly upon the universal German tendency to turn every dish into a pile of sludge (beware Swabian noodles!). Breakfast is ok but at 9 euros, a bit expensive.

The hotel publicity implied it was situated in expansive grounds but that’s not the case - it’s just on a street corner, about 400 metres walk from a park and lake. The locality, five kilometres from the centre, is in forner east Berlin and 21 years later is still somewhat on the seedy side. The bed was not large enough for two (unless jockeys) but there was a tiny cubicle with an extra single bed that solved that problem. There was space only for one suitcase to be opened. There is no laundry service. Internet wireless in the dining room is cheap at 1.50 euro/hour but appallingly slow to the point of often being useless.

The Hotel staff are well behaved and location was suitable for me.

Nothing to complain

We had a lovely stay, the hotel was basic though functional. For the price paid it was clean,friendly and served our purpose as a base to tour from. would reccommend it to those on a budget.Very accessible by the brilliant public transport system berlin offers.

The only thing I felt the hotel lacked was air conditioning,we were there mid July with 32 degree heat. Would have been nice though for the price we paid its maybe but much to expect.

I booked 2 rooms in this hotel for my family. My wife is disabled, I informed them of this fact, stating that she used and electric wheelchair. The room provided, was almost inaccessible, the toilet in the room was totally inaccessible. SO much so we left the following morning. Do not use this hotel if you have major mobility issues.

Very small room, problems with internet connectivity all the time
