Staff was great, the hotel had lots of character. Quiet neighborhood.

Breakfast is usually my favorite part of European hotels...lots of options, and a great way to keep the energy level up until dinner. I enjoyed the "quirky" nature of this hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Not a bad little place. Very quirky with its decor. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty good (Would have liked a good sausage and non streaky bacon, but that is just me. The eggs were good. Bread and rolls were there, but no toaster. There was no chance of starting the day hungry. There were options to cover most tastes). The room could do with a little maintenance, but was on the whole pretty good. The bed was very comfy. I would certainly stay here again.

The breakfast was really good. Many options.

Clean, modern room with friendly and helpful staff in both German and English.

Nice hotel and staff, who are very friendly.

the Birgit is located in what was East Berlin, which means that the building and those around it haven't been bulldozed and rebuilt after the Wall fell. Also, there are nearby tram lines. It is in the Mitte area, north of the Spree River, so within tram, walk, or Uber reach of the river, the museum island. Across the street is a elementary school, and the noise of kids playing is a nice touch. As expected, the room is quite small, but there is a balcony, and there is working a/c unit in the room. No room safes but the staff was kind enough to store passports etc in their secure area. The breakfast is sufficient, there is a nice garden area, as well as wicker chairs in front. The hotel is eclectic (and Rick Steves recommendation). We're glad we took his advice. Also, the small sitting area serves as a bar, if so inclined. Excellent Asian food 50 meters away. Hokey Pokey ice cream nearby, as is the oldest beer garden in Berlin. What's not to like?

This hotel is in a good, walkable neighborhood. It has a nice breakfast and the staff is friendly. The rooms are a bit small but they were clean and comfortable.

Very nice hotel. Walkable to public transit and the center. Beds were comfortable and the breakfast was great. We had to buy our own soap and one of the lights was out and was never fixed, but other than that, a very pleasant stay.

A conveniently located hotel for my annual visit with relatives, I have used it for many years. While the rooms and breakfast area have not changed much and still have a nice flaire, during my the latest visit I noticed a bit of a harsh tone when guests were addressed. Perhaps it is a general trend, or my age?

A good stay. Nice quite Hotel. Friendly and efficent staff. Getting older and could have done with a grab handle to get out of the shower which has a high step. Breakfast is adequate and well presented.

Nice smaller place. Great breakfast and excellent service.

The bathroom only had body wash . It would have been nice to have (body wash, shampoo and conditioner). Great location, a 15min walk to trains.

Cute property, friendly staff, great breakfast

I really want to like this place more. The garden and lobby are comfortable. However, the there are some things that were not so great. The biggest was that I had no water in the morning for a shower. This may have been due to my room being on the top floor and the hotel being fully-booked. The plumbing may have been struggling to get water up to the top floor when everyone in the hotel was taking a shower. Between 7:30-10 am the water would start as a trickle and drop to zero in a few minutes. I mean no water at all. When I mentioned this to the receptionist, she just shrugged. When I mentioned to the manager he said he would call the plumber. Nothing changed during my weeklong stay. I switched to showering in the evening and it was plenty of hot water then. So if you choose to stay here, consider getting a room on a lower floor. Otherwise, it is a charming hotel. But if the water system cannot handle a full hotel, then perhaps the hotel should have fewer rooms.

A great location! And the back garden is a lovely spot to sit after a long day of walking around. Sometimes the street can be a bit noisy late at night, but that just confirms that it is a lively area.

Front desk personnel very helpful and friendly and super nice.

Great location. Close to trams and u bahn. Great eateries in the neighbourhood. Hotel tell is looking a little worn in places but has character. I would stay here again.

Very clean, quiet room. Nice view. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent all around experience.

Room was good. But it was really ridiculous that they didn't clean the room once in 4 days of stay. Sorry, that is unacceptable for that price.
