This hotel is a no-thrills accommodation. But don't let that put you off. 3 of us shared a family room which was bunkbeds (hilarious for my 19year old daughter). Big enough to sleep in and do what needs doing. The beds were a little small, but i'm 6ft6 so your mileage will vary. Why 5 star? Well because the hotel delivers exactly what it purports to be - an Economy hotel within easy reach of the metro system. Comfortable, warm and safe. Fully recommended.
I am staying here again and again. Rooms in hotel are nice for their prices, stuff is helpful. The neighbourhood is quite and cute, have many places to go and s nice location overall. hotel's restaurant remains nice emotions and a full stomach. Definitely will come back again and will advice to friends and business partners. Thank you!
Close to public transportation, walking distance to shopping, restaurants and local attractions. The area is quiet at night. Helpful, friendly staff, great bed, good wi fi and comfortable room. Breakfast was wonderful and served all morning, loved the coffee choices. Also, an affordable price. Very pleasant stay.
Our experience was good. Friendly staff, good breakfast, good transport connection. The surroundings of the hotel are very peaceful and beautiful. The room is small, but it didn't affect us. The bed is comfortable and the natural light and wind were good. I would really stay there again. We recommend CapRivi for sunny days outdoors and the Daniele restaurant after a visit to Schloss Charlottenburg — very easy to walk to.
Clean and modern room with very comfortable bed. Good location right next to excellent public transport links to both the centre of Berlin and both airports. Only problem was no air con so far too hot overnight due to +30℃ weather!
The price-quality ratio is more than convenient. I definitely enjoyed my stay in this hotel, when I was there for 5 days on a class trip. If I ever consider revisiting Berlin, this will be the go-to hotel that I would go to. Breakfast was pretty nice. Despite the fact that I am an extremely picky eater, I actually found a few things that I liked. And that's already a good SIGN. EARLy in the morning, I had an EARL grey tea along with some watermelons. I don't think there's a limit of how much stuff you can take from the buffet, but your stomach surely won't reach it anyway... The staff is pretty friendly, but honestly, who cares about this? To be fair, a great hotel has to have at least good service, but neither does it have to be exceptionally good. The staff does not let you down at all, and that's enough. You really don't have to worry about this stuff here. The rooms are pretty pretty. If you are muslim, you might panic a little bit tho, because they put a nice little new testament bible next to your fresh, comfortable bed! - So that you can read it, when you are bored, of course. - ORRR you just request the wifi password from the reception, and you can surf the internet on reasonable speeds instead! - ... So that you can watch p***, when you are bored, of course. - I think that the bible next to you wouldn't like it. Sooooo, how about you read it and find out? In my room there was also a medium-end TV that you can use to watch ... TV. Although I am not sure, if it had HDMI-Inputs, you can certainly play Wii through its AV-slot, given you brought your console with you. So, surely there aren't any limits to what you can do within your room either, but what's the point of staying inside? I don't know. The location is obviously a **slight** bit inconvenient, as it's not really near the centre of the city. However, as there are train stations ALLLL across Berlin, you will also find one directly near the hotel, so it doesn't even matter too much. Also, (but only at that moment) there are construction workers nearby, and they are pretty loud at daytime. The good thing is, you can walk about 5 meters and you can already buy some groceries from the neighbouring REWE. Interstingly, the all-purpose soap in your bathroom is amber-coloured (just like the name "Amber Hotels"). Amazing, right? Like, that just HAS to be intended, ... right? right? Therefore, it is SAFE to say that this hotel truthfully deserves a higher rating! They really know what they are doing!
This hotel is a outside the heart of Berlin. The double room we were given although small was well kept with clean bedding and bathroom facilities. The hotel kitchen does a good buffet dinner and coffee. For discount accommodation I recommend giving this hotel a go.
Very good experience. Even the bed was nice although slightly too short for me which it usually is in hotels. The shower was also good although the temperature was not constant the whole time. These are the 2 things that usually lack in hotels but in econtel it was good enough for me! Oh yeah, and it would be nice if there were some foreign channels on the TV but that's not something that bothers me at all.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
