Zernsdorf Holidays

The room was very good – clean, spacious, and just the right size for the price and location. I highly recommend the breakfast buffet as well – great variety and quality. Overall, a very pleasant stay!

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?

Nice location, we were able to walk to most places. Close to transport links. Staff were friendly and helpful. We had a two bedroom apartment which meant we had loads of space. We would stay there again.

The room was clean and the area was quiet. Märkisches Museum U-Bahn station was right outside the hotel which was very convenient. The mini bar included bottles of waters and beers on the first day but had to be collected from the front desk for the rest of the stay. The sauna was good, although it would have been better if the hours were more flexible - it's between 4pm and 11pm. Overall a good hotel for the price, would stay again!

Clean, quiet, close to subway, no language difficulties Elderly customer, would have liked safety bars in shower.
