Box61 Art Concept Flat

5 Jo Craig - 4 years ago

We loved this quirky flat! It’s a really unique place to stay for your Berlin trip, close to all the attractions. Each of the rooms has its own special theme. My friends loved the artworks! There’s also two balconies in two of the rooms which was perfect as we came on a hot weekend in April. Very close to Ostkreuz station where you can catch the metro. A convenience store just round the corner as well as many takeaways. I recommend booking the whole apartment with a group of friends as we did :) Can’t wait to come back!

Really nice experience! I stayed 3 nights and would come back again. Room was fun, bed comfortable and all was clean and very organized. The location is very convenient and close to Kreuzberg, subways and great nightlife options. Andre the host was very friendly and explained me how to use the subway system and where to go shopping best. He knows whats cool! He also gave me free tickets for the gym around the corner which I used one day...fantastic pool! The place has coffee and tea and a nice seating area/common space which I used every day to organize myself before going out or after coming back from a day full of Berlin impressions. I for sure liked box 61. Thank you for all.

I would definitely recommend Box61 for large groups. We booked out the whole apartment and found our stay very comfortable. They even provided shampoos in the bathroom and coffee and teas which I wasn’t expecting. The whole apartment is decorated in a really fun way with different themes. Some of the rooms have little balconies over looking the street bellow. Friedrichshain itself was full of restaurants, bars and clubs. The east gallery is close by. Thank you for a great weekend away!

This hotel/hostel concept of a place is beautiful. It's super clean and cozy and a lot of privacy too. It's in a really nice location of Berlin as well.

However, the owner, Andre was completely rude and disrespectful to us during our stay. As there is a self-checkin method, the keys for your room are designated upon arrival. I was given the cube room envelop and my stay was for 3 nights.

As you do in Berlin, we stayed out late on our second night and were sleeping in, at 10:30 in the morning there was banging on our door and (although really sweet woman, a cleaning staff member) was telling us that we are supposed to check out. I tried to tell her we had one more night, but she was being told by her boss on the phone otherwise. She then passed the phone to me and this man was firmly insisting that we were in the wrong room and the room we were designated had been empty the past few nights. I was firmly insisting he was mistaken and showed him the envelop we received the day of our arrival. After all of that, yelling at me on the phone, yelling at his staff member and making her wake us, he sends one simple and poorly written apology email. I honestly expect something a little more polite after making a mistake that was completely his fault, that I had nothing to do with. The sad part is that we were really enjoying our stay here and would have loved to recommend to others, but with the chaos that we experienced during our time, it is difficult to do that.

I am completely outraged that this incident could happen the way it did. Andre seems to be very unorganized about his own business and the way he handles issues with his customers is very unprofessional, rude and insulting. I really hope he and the other owner learn how to manage the beautiful space they have because it is really a shame otherwise.

Quirky place with few rooms, each has its unique decor. Large lounge area, perfect for traveling in big groups of friends. Beds are a bit small and coffee machine wasn’t working when we were there, but everything else was good.

The apartment is nice but the rooms are small and the matress not comfortable at all. Also really noisy at night. If you are looking for a place to stay with friends it's probably a good spot but don't go there if you are looking for a relaxing weekend with your girlfriend.

Feels like living in a spacious flat share: you have your private room and share kitchen and bathroom with others. Super nice design. Top central location. Nice staff with many insider tips. Recommended!
