My friend and I went traveling all over Europe, trying to do it on a budget, and we were so lucky to have found this pension as a place to stay in Berlin! It's near some fantastic restaurants and breakfast places, as well as a short walk away from the train/bus stations (which is good because to get to all the monuments and such you'll want to take public transportation). We read past reviews before booking so we knew that it was owned by the same people who ran the Chinese restaurant next door and that their "reception" would have the same hours as the restaurant (i.e. it wasn't 24/7 and leave baggage wasn't an easy option). This however, did not stop the owners from being amazing nor stop the place from being amazing and one of the best locations we stayed at during our trip to Europe! We checked in at 3pm and were walked to our room and given a physical key to the front door and our door. The room was small but clean and just right for what was needed - a bed, a small desk, built in closet space, it even came with a tv, a coffeemaker, and a fridge/freezer! The bathroom was clean and the shower had fantastic water pressure. We ate at their restaurant the night we checked-in and it is a MUST DO, you have to make a reservation since the food is made to order but it was delicious - some of the best crispy duck I have ever had! During our stay, we noticed our ceiling fan wasn't working when the overhead light was off (which was a big deal for us since Europe was going through a heat wave at the moment and we were on the first floor so didn't feel safe leaving the window open). They quickly checked on our room to try and fix it, and when they couldn't I asked if they had a standing fan we could just use and within minutes they came back with one! The room was cleaned everyday and towels were provided (along with amenities). Check out was quick and easy, 11am just left the key on the table inside the room! Would 100% recommend and stay/eat here again!
