Highly recommended. Comfortable studio with great natural light. Staff friendly and helpful. Excellent location for cafes, restaurants and supermarkets. S-Bahn directly across the road. 15 minutes walk to Haekischer Markt, Museuminsel, Prenzlauer Berg. We loved Berlin and this is where we'll stay again if we're lucky enough to come back.

Our apartment was extremely comfortable and spacious for 3 adults. It had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. It is in a great location, walking distance to public transport, shops and some of the main attractions. It was so quiet and reception staff were so friendly and helpful. Can highly recommend

Family vacation
This apartment was exactly what we needed! My family and I stayed here during our vacation in June. The apartment is spacious, clean and in a fantastic location. The people working at the front desk were helpful and very friendly. Many other reviews mentioned an issue with noise from the trains, but the noise is really not that bad, it didn’t bother us at all. Having laundry in the building was a huge bonus for us. I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent stay.
Loved this location and the staff at the front desk, who were so helpful with our questions and requests. The apartment was designed well, appointed with all the needs you might need for a longer stay, including a laundry facility in the basement. Our apartment was on the first floor, so it took some time to get used to the subway rumble. Otherwise, a great location.

Would highly recommend the apartments. So very clean, modern and well laid out and lovely helpful front door staff. They have everything you need for a short or even longer stay in Berlin. Great location too with Central station just a 15 minute walk away and the S-bahn and tram stop at the front door. Getting around is so easy.

Our stay here was very comfortable. The staff is accomodating and the apartment is very nice. The location is great with lots of transit options and restaurants nearby. The only downside is you can hear and feel the trains running underground, especially if you're on the lower floors.

The Downtown Apartments are almost new and ideally sited for exploring Berlin. Tram and S Bahn are right outside and both take you straight into the centre. If walking, it’s about 20 mins to the Brandenburg Gate and many of the sights. The bed was very comfortable and everything was clean and in excellent working order. The four ladies who rotate on Reception spoke perfect English and could not have been more helpful. They maintain a sheet of good local restaurants most of which we tried with great results every time. But there was one shortcoming. That convenient S Bahn runs right underneath the block at a shallow depth and the building vibrates every four minutes (except for a few hours at night during weekdays only). Also the tram is audible if the front windows are open. Personally, it did not bother me but my wife had to wear earplugs every night. We were in the Birds’s Nest Penthouse suite on the 6th floor, so height makes little difference. Only one other significant issue – the two TVs have hundreds of Sky channels but virtually no entertainment channels in English. I had a laptop and so was able to stream Amazon Prime and Netflix via the excellent free WiFi but connecting to the BBC iPlayer with a VPN only worked sporadically. If you have a smart stick for streaming TV don’t forget to bring it. So long as you are a good sleeper I would highly recommend Downtown Apartments.

We had a great time staying here, it is very centrally located and the staff were fabulous and very helpful. The flats are amazing and very clean and modern with nice interior designs. It is located right opposite the train station "Nordbahnhof' with loads of public transport options right outside your doorstep. Due to this and the pub downstairs in the house there is a slight background level of noise. This did not bother us at all but should be noted for people who seek peace and quiet.

Our apartment was perfect for a one week stay in Berlin. Excellent location for public transit, close to many tourist attractions, very good restaurants, cafes and shops nearby and all in a residential type neighbourhood with lots of families. And the apartment itself was very well appointed with everything you’d want and more (eg heated towel bars and fully stocked kitchen). It’s on a bust street yet surprisingly quiet at night and the beds are very comfy. Staff were always very helpful and accommodating. Would certainly stay here again!

Loved everything! Location was directly across the Street from train station and the tram stopped directly in front of the building making getting around the city without a car a breeze. A large market was about 2 blocks down, making it convenient to get groceries. The room was modern and had anything you could ask for. I also really enjoyed the balcony overlooking the park - super nice to relax on with drink in hand after exploring the city. The receptionist, Katharina I believe was her name, was also amazing. Super friendly, accommodating, and just helpful all around. If I get the chance to come back to Berlin, I will definitely book here again.

Need a better maintenance system
The apartment was nice and comfortable. It was spacious and in a very good location. The only problem I could mention is that they need an improvement on their maintenance. The air conditioning did not work and because of that we could not sleep well the three nights we were there. I can understand the system breaking down. But if it could not be fixed for three days, that is a maintenance problem. This was true with safe in the room and automatic check-in system. They did try to compensate us with a little discount, but it could not replace a few sleepless nights. If they fix their maintenance operation, I dod not see any other problem with the hotel.

This modern property has everything you will need for your stay. Plenty of storage and new and modern fittings make this a pleasant and easy stay, you will not need anything. If there is something you do need, the ladies in reception are fantastic in accomodating your needs as well as great advice on where to eat and places to visit. The apartment is conveniently located close to all modes of transport so it was easy to get around and many restaurants nearby. The apartment is next door to a cafe/bar but surprisingly not much noise filtered through at night and made getting your morning coffee or late night drink convenient. This was a great place to stay and I would definitely stay here again.
