Pension ABC in Berlin

Spent 4 nights here at the end of March. Will definitely NOT return. Room 12 is a decent size on the face of it, however you couldn't swing a cat in the bathroom - inconveniently positioned washbasin, which you can't wash your face in due to the shelf directly above it (kept banging my chin/forehead on). Nasty and dangerous (over length) shower curtain to fill in the gap of the missing PVC shower enclosure, blocks the plughole while you are showering, so you end up standing in a pool of used shower water. Not exaggerating when I say it is difficult to turn around in the bathroom even to just hang your towel. Breakfast was a very amateur presentation and soon ran out - by 9.45am the empty dishes were not being replenished even though breakfast is advertised as being served until 10am. Tasteless, weak coffee (ordered cappuccino at a charge of 2 Euros on third morning). Skirting boards throughout the room/bathroom were filthy and obviously hadn't seen a cloth and bucket of hot soapy water in some time. Noise from people coming and going in the corridor easily audible at all hours (all the rooms doors close with an echoing thud), Most uninviting stairwell to rooms. Cheap, semi-transparent curtains let the sunlight through at the crack of dawn, no darkness from the street lights outside. WiFi very patchy and lost connection every few of minutes. Make sure you get a receipt if you pay on arrival as staff will act ignorant when you check out and try and double collect. Reception is barely manned and dread to think who guests would turn to in the event of an emergency. The whole place just seems very grubby and outdated and done up with the cheapest possible fixtures. The only positive I can see is that the bedding is fresh, clean and the double bed we had (two singles pushed together) was actually very comfortable. I would pay extra and stay at the Ambiente or Lindemanns which we are moving to tomorrow. Honestly can't wait to leave this depressing place.

We had great expectations of going to Berlin again a lovely city. This Pension is no way near the standard of a good hostel, the room looked nothing like those online, the room was tiny and the bathroom stunk of drains. the bed was ok but from sitting on the bed I could touch any wall it was that small. The furniture was low standard MDF from the late 80s and the safe could be picked up and moved. No wifi as stated, breakfast unless you were up at 8am a very limited choice. My advise dont go find somewhere else to stay. It has a good location, but for the price dont believe the photos or the information supplied by the owner.

Due to no internet we moved to another room after 1 night (much smaller, very small shower and smaller bed and only 1 chair for 2 people) in both rooms the curtains were too narrow for the window so early light in the room. The first 2 days the wifi was good but not after that. Several days at breakfast the scrambled eggs and sausages were already gone at 08:35 while breakfast is until 10:00. One morning we were no more rolls, bread, scrambled eggs, sausages, yoghurt, fruit, salami and cheese at 08:45, everything was already gone. When I said something about this, just bread and ham came and that was it. The gentleman said I should just send an email. I did that and then you get the answer "you should have reported that immediately" ... I sent another email that I paid too much because of a few days without breakfast and a smaller room but they no longer respond to that. The lady who did the breakfast at the weekend was really very good, she filled everything up well and was very friendly. The location is perfect but don't expect internet and breakfast! Except for the 2 ladies working there (1 weekday reception and 1 weekend breakfast) the service is really bad.

I traveled to Germany with a group of friends. We wanted to visit Dusseldorf, Colonia, Bad Salzuflen and to finished in Berlin. Thus, we booked in Pension ABC a 2-rooms-apartment for 5 persons from 2023-10-10 to 2023-10-12 (2 nights). The tenth of october when we stayed in Bad Salzuflen, we received a call from the pension ABC where they told us that we couldn´t sleep in their pension and they did´t give us any solution. So, we had to sleep those days in Postdam, we were deceived and because of their fault we couldn´t visit Berlin. I am too much annoyed, NEVER BOOK HERE!!!!
