Hotel Nest in Berlin

Stayed in room 15.

It’s quite far from the city and difficult to get to by underground. Best to take the 171 bus that goes right by the door. There is a Lidl very close by and a pharmacy across the road.

The reception is in a bar/restaurant which is a little odd but hardly a complaint. Receptionist was very nice.

You will need a torch at night time to find the back door.

Our main door entry key also opened our bedroom. Not sure if that’s a security issue. I’m not a locksmith.

The room was big and comfortable. The ability to completely black out the daylight with electric blinds was perfect for our needs as creatures of the night.

The decor in the bathroom was….. different. Didn’t care, we wanted functional and we got it.

The bath tub emptied through the drain and onto the floor into another drain which was again, different. The lack of a shower curtain was surprising and made showering without drenching the entire room quite difficult. So you couldn’t really bring your clothes in there to get dressed if you were staying with someone you were not comfortable being naked around. There was a mild smell from this interesting drainage situation.

The TV worked though I don’t speak German so it was pretty useless for me. I couldn’t find any EN channels. But it made for good background noise.

Would I return? If I was stuck then yes. Mostly because I know I won’t be getting anything worse by going here. The main issue for me was the distance from the center and accessibility. The rest was bearable.
