Hotel & Apartments Zarenhof Berlin Prenzlauer Berg

I loved everything about this apartment hotel. The room was a good size with its own balcony. There was a little kitchenette (microwave, hob, kettle) with plates and cutlery and a fridge so you could choose to eat breakfast in the hotel at a reasonable price or get your own. Whilst you can use the fridge for your own items, there is also a mini bar available at a very reasonable price. There was a nice little desk and lamp if you need to work from here, the Wifi connection was great. It is in a perfect location right next to a busy area with loads of bars, restaurants, mini markets, bakeries. Everything you could need within walking distance. It is a great location for public transport and visiting sights - role off the U-Bahn and it's a couple of minutes to the hotel. I felt pretty safe the whole time and I was travelling alone at some late hours. The area was well lit with lots of people around. I would definitely stay there again. The hotel itself is set back off the main road through a security door and under the archway into a back courtyard so despite being very central, it is very quiet and easy to get a good night's sleep. Although it doesn't have air conditioning, there was an electric fan in the room and you can leave the balcony doors open to catch some breeze.

We checked in late - 11pm and our room was on the top floor and comfortable but it did not have a kettle. My husband is a caffeine addict so in the morning I requested a kettle and we were actually moved to another room on the second floor with a kitchenette and balcony. It was just right and the receptionist even brought the new key to our old room in the morning. I was very impressed with their customer service and the breakfast was great too with a very good selection of hot and cold food. There are lots of bars and restaurants nearby in this bustling part of Berlin.

The hotel/apartment is great because it's located in an inner courtyard, making it very quiet even at night, despite being situated on a boulevard where trams and trains run. This also means excellent direct connectivity to central and eastern Berlin. There are also plenty of different restaurants nearby, as well as a grocery store and a drugstore. The room itself is cozy, basic, with a small kitchen and a balcony, providing everything you need for a few nights.

OK hotel with excellent value for money, super close to metro and other transport options, plenty of coffee shops, grocery stores, and restaurants. The rooms are as shown on the booking page and while the entrance is somewhat unusual, our kids loved walking the red carpet every day! Stayed at a family room and we had plenty of space both for all 4 of us and a couple of suitcases. Appreciated everyday cleaning and fresh towels.

The location is fantastic. It's in a really lively area with great restaurants and cafes. We particularly loved the artisan bakery on the corner. We had our breakfast there each day, we didn't try the hotel's offering.The transport links are amazing. We used the tram more than the ubahn. (We recommend getting a Berlin Welcome card).The bed was really comfortable and the room had a small kitchenette which was useful.
