Hotel Amadeus ROYAL Berlin in Berlin

This property is located at the end of U-Bahn Line U5 (Hönow) in the suburb of Hoppegarten. The other end is Berlin’s central train station, so if you don’t mind the 45-minute ride, the location offers certain logistical advantages—as well as the auditory calm of a sleepy suburb.

At the time of my visit (early October 2025), the cafeteria was closed—possibly undergoing renovation—so there was no onsite dining. Fortunately, this is compensated by the very close proximity of at least three grocery stores, including one with its own bakery/coffee counter.

The rooms are fairly spacious and all located on the upper (third) floor of an otherwise nondescript building. The Wi-Fi was perfectly adequate for checking email and streaming my favorite Netflix series. I happened to be down with a nasty cold and fever, so that was the only form of entertainment I could manage. On that note, a basic amenity such as an electric kettle or coffee machine would have been extremely welcome. A workaround was negotiated with the front-desk staff—trilingual, helpful, and perhaps extra accommodating because we shared a mother tongue. They kindly allowed me to use their electric kettle in the reception area, and we even socialized a bit about expat life.

The “Royal” part of the hotel’s name may be slightly misleading for travelers expecting deluxe accommodations and could, perhaps, be reconsidered unless it is meant as an aspirational flourish.

The facility would also benefit from a laundry room, as the nearest commercial service is located two train stops away.

All that said, I can recommend this no-frills property to any budget traveler—students, solo explorers, or active seniors—who can comfortably rely on the surrounding public and commercial infrastructure and simply use the hotel as a decent, quiet place to sleep.
