Hotel Zarenhof Friedrichshain, Berlin, Germany

The shower was ridiculously good - I have no idea what kind of shower-head they are using but it is top notch. Would stay again for that reason alone!

I visited the property for a 3 night stay Aug 31-Sep 2, 2018. This was my second stay at the hotel. The staff is polite and professional, its in an excellent location with many stores, restaurants and transportation connections, the room and bath are clean and tidy, good linen and towels, nice toiletries, comfortable mattress, spacious room, wifi worked ok, there are mini bar items in the room at a fair price, the windows have very good soundproofing and there is a good selection of cable TV/radio stations. I initially had an issue with the room I was given (twin--2 single beds) and the one I booked (superior single with a queen bed). The hotel was completely booked my first night l but the hotel allowed me to switch rooms on my second night for the rest of my visit which was much appreciated. Only negatives would be the property is not air conditioned but each room has a fan and during this time of year, the nights cool off nicely. There is no frig or coffee/tea pot in the room although there is ample space to include on. Surfing on the internet using the wifi was fine but there were a few issues with streaming videos. The bathroom shower is a bit tight but adequate. Breakfast is not included in the room rate but is available for about 12 euros. I didn't eat at the hotel but the breakfast area seemed nice enough. All and all, I just love this area of Berlin and this small hotel is a great option for a comfortable place to stay when I visit the area.

We had a really comfortable, friendly stay. the staff were all smiling and keen to help, the room was large, with a Queen sized bed and sofa in the room, and a small but adequate shower ensuite. Breakfast was good value at 12.50 Euro for a buffet with eggs, backon, sausage, beads, croissants, hams, cheese, tea, juice, coffee, all the usual stuff.

Good hotel but as weather was hot I needed to keep the windows open but then got noises from Courtyard. For the cost of the room I would have expected air-conditioning !!! Great location with many bars and restaurants nearby. The East Side is a great place to stay.

Love the location- great local neighborhood with restaurants shops and parks- even farmers market nearby. Public transport conveniently close. Friendly, quiet, clean, modern
