Econtel, Berlin, Germany - Reviews and Hotel Information

This hotel is described as a three-star establishment but really it's not far above hostel standards. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable but basic is the word best used to describe most things here. The rooms are en-suite but the showers are miniscule and no comlementary toiletries are supplied. There is internet access in the foyer but just one which meant an inevitable wait. Location is good for Schloss Charlottenburg and Deutsche Oper but everything else requires a bus or an U-bahn ride. It's way too far out to be practical and especially in Winter, leaving in the evening to go back into the centre is a chilly, unattractive prospect. If I had paid the regular room rate here I would no doubt have felt I got what I'd paid for but as I had paid a small fortune ( via the person who organised the trip ) I was very dissatisfied indeed. To make matters worse we were booked in here for dinner as well and suffered two nights of inedible and in some cases almost unrecognisable food before we gave up on it.
Nonetheless, this is a very cheap place to stay and if you are prepared for the endless travel in and out of the city then it's worth considering.

Despite the inedible slop we were served up for so-called dinner, the breakfast buffet here is very good indeed. It costs EUR13 per person on top of the room rate but for what you get it's good value. Hot and cold food with plenty of fruit, yogurt etc and an endless supply of good hot coffee.
