Hotel Tiergarten Berlin

“Really Average. Cobwebs included!”

A friend and I booked through Expedia to stay here during a recent interrail trip. We booked a twin room for 2 nights. The hotel is in a convenient location with great transport links to get around the city. It’s a short ten minute ride on the tram from outside of the main station. The area seemed safe and clean with a good selection of places to eat, drink and shop. The staff at the hotel were really nice and very approachable and chatty which was nice. My review has no reflection on the people who work here. Be under no illusion, this place comes across as more of a hostel than a hotel. It’s incredibly basic and very, VERY shabby. The rooms are in desperate need of updating and the hotel corridors and public areas are constantly clogged with trolleys full of dirty linen. Our room was clean (aside from lots of cobwebs) and the beds were comfortable enough. the pillows are lumpy and desperately need replacing. The bathroom was also nice and bright and there were toiletries and plenty of towels. If you’re just looking for somewhere to sleep and nothing else, then this place is doable for a couple of nights. The rooms are incredibly depressing however and if you’re looking for a hotel to enjoy, then this place isn’t for you. Also be aware that EXTENSIVE renovations are taking place to the building. I also saw this mentioned in previous reviews. They are all correct about the noise and disturbance. It’s covered in scaffolding and the men begin work from 6:45am. We were awoken both mornings just before 7am by banging, clattering, drilling and shouting from men quite literally at the window. I feel that this should be advised to people before booking. Our sleep was massively disturbed because of it which really impacted on our stay. Would I choose to stay here again?? Probably not. The room was misrepresented based on the photos available on the website. It’s not a hotel that you would want to spend time in. There are other properties available at similar prices that I feel would be in a much better state of repair and far more appealing.

“Before booking clarify if there is an A/C in a room and if there is a construction going on.”

When I got to the hotel I found out they didn’t have A/C, I am sure that it needs to be mentioned on a booking platform since it is definitely not what you expect from a hotel. I paid twice the regular price for some reason, but I got a room that was in a terrible condition and looked like renovati… more

I paid twice the regular price for some reason, but I got a room that was in a terrible condition and looked like renovation there didn’t happen since 1960s. A cherry on the top was that there was a construction just outside of my window. Every single day I would wake up at about 7am cuz of the construction noice and Polish construction workers screams.
