Clipper Boardinghouse - Berlin-Gendarmenmarkt

We liked everything . First, the location - the apart hotel is very well located between Brandenburg Gate and the Museum Island , very close to the metro line no.5 that goes to the central station and at 5 min walking to the Friedrichstrasse S-Bahn and metro station. Second, the room itself - it is large enough for two people, bright, quiet, very clean and it has all you need for a comfortable stay . Communication with the staff before arrival was perfect and even if we arrived outside the reception hour, the check in was very simple. Also, the moment we entered our room, we got an e-mail with a lot of information : starting with how to use the equipments in the room and finishing with the location of the nearest supermarkets or how to travel in town. They are very considerate with everything. At check out we could leave our luggage at the hotel for a few hours.

Exceptional place to stay for cultural vacations - close to theaters, museum island, central attraction points. Very close and convenient access to trainstations and public transport. We have quiet room in inner courtyard, air conditioning was good, even if we was lucky to visit Berlin in not very hot week, I seem room is adapted to such situation too.

We stayed in the Studio plus apartment which has a lovely balcony and well appointed kitchen. The washing machine and dryer located two floors below our apartment was of great use - half way into our trip and saved having to carry too much clothing. Reception were very helpful in finding an english speaking dentist close to the apartment due to a slight tooth issue. Was easy walking distance to hop on bus and Berlin Wall. Great eateries around a very safe and clean upmarket area of Berlin. Was our first time in Berlin and loved the city and the people.

Location - IMHO, the best possible for a tourist in Berlin. Most POIs are accessible by walk, but if you need public transport, the U-bahn and S-bahn stations are very close. It is very easy to come from/to the airport by S9 (Friedrichstrasse station). Food: a lot of restaurants around. If you need a grocery - REWE and Penny are within 5 min walk distance. Another "Lotto" store with tobacco, alcohol, and snacks is located on the opposite side of the street. Note: in a "studio" room you haven't a cooking plate, microwave only. The room (we stayed in a "studio") is large enough, clean, and good equipped. Kitchenware - espresso machine, toaster, kettle, dishes, glasses - all are high quality. Mattress and pillows (4 units by default), linen, and towels - large and comfortable. A little balcony with a view of the inner courtyard. It's very small but you can smoke there. Self-check-in is very easy. The staff is very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay here. danke schoen.

It's a nice mini hotel with quiet and comfortable rooms. I was a bit misled by the photos into thinking our room had a kitchenette, which it didn't. However, there was a kettle, a nespresso machine, and a microwave. Would have been handy to have a stove, but we managed. Overall, it's a nice place to stay - very centrally located, with easy access to S-bahn, U-bahn, trams and buses. The museum island is within walking distance. The staff are very polite and ready to help.
