Tucked away in Berlin’s trendy Friedrichshain district, the Almodovar Biohotel has been blending eco-conscious living with sleek urban design since it opened its doors in 2012. Inspired by the creative, global energy of the city, this boutique spot is a haven for travelers who want to minimize their carbon footprint without sacrificing style.
The hotel takes its green status seriously, operating as a certified organic, completely vegetarian property. Everything here is mindfully sourced, from the renewable energy powering the building to the ethical cleaning products. Even the natural, organic bed and bath textiles ensure your sleep is completely guilt-free.
One of the coolest features of the building is its strict stance on energy conservation. You won’t find individual minibars buzzing away in the rooms; instead, guests share a single communal fridge in the lobby, a simple tweak that saves thousands of kilowatt-hours annually. Inside the rooms, the decor features custom-made rosewood furniture built along clean, classic Bauhaus lines.
When you are ready to unwind, you can head up to the rooftop wellness oasis for a sauna session overlooking the Berlin skyline. Downstairs, the in-house restaurant, Bistro Bardot, serves up incredible Mediterranean-inspired vegetarian and vegan tapas that win over foodies of all stripes.

“Almodóvar Hotel, a 60-room eco boutique property that opened in 2012 in the Friedrichshain district, combines smart, pared-down design with a focus on environmental sustainability that stretches from the textiles to the lighting to the organic, vegetarian breakfast spread.”

Impressed with apartment
I was really impressed with the property. Great value for money, I chose this location as I know the area so I was really happy about that. Lots of small touches in the room that were very cute.
The place didn't have any staff. Nothing went wrong, but I'm wondering how quick they would be there to help if there was any situation where help was needed.

Great for short or long stay
The room was fantastic, utilities were all great, location was good for the east.
The breakfast was pretty average for the price, and the bed was very comfy but very soft so bit of a sore back in the mornings

Memorable and easy
Best bed I’ve slept in, wanted to take it home! Made some memories I won’t forget
I wish I had chosen a different area of the city

Worth it for a short stay
Location (near all the spots in the neighborhood and transposrtation), clean, fast check out, internet.
Location: far from main Berlin atractions.
Only 2 cups, cutlery, plate. Bed not good, I prefer firm bed. This appeared firm but it would sink.
Unconfortable chair for workstation and table. AC too strong, even when at minimum. Also, a bit noisy.

Room chosen for the design but next time I’ll choose a normal one
The design was interesting, the cleanliness, and the bed (most comfortable ever)
The TV didn’t worked, it was a bit uncomfortable to go to reach the bed or to go out from the bed

In the heart of Berlin-Friedrichshain nearby all public transports, a very convenient place to stay for a city trip.
Great Location, all you need, modern and well equiped.
Cleaning could be better ( floors and strong smell coming from the toilet)

We really enjoyed our stay
We especially enjoyed our cozy room and our sunny balcony! (We had the biggest room at the 5th floor)
Really convenient location and lovely stay - we didn't miss anything.

Great little place to stay! Maximises a small space in a clever way
Really clever layout which maximises the space! Super close to a main trainline (10 min walk) good area
The broken TV when we walked into the room from a long journey, had to report as soon as we walked in

Well equipped, easy, but very loud traffic noise
Super easy Check in, well equipped
The location is right on a super busy main road. Opening windows without an incredibly loud noise background is impossible.

Lovely place to stay in Berlin
The location is good, the tram is right outside. Beds were unbelievably comfortable. Whenever I asked for something from the numa team they responded quickly and I was able to get everything I needed.
It was hot while we were there and there was construction going on right outside so if you opened the door it was extremely loud. Nothing that numa could do about that so it's not a negative thing towards the accommodation itself. We weren't there much during the day anyway.

Good stay in a lively neighbourhood but it needs improvement.
The rooms were very comfortable.
The bath-shower-shampoo-conditioner, excellent and in big quantity! Bravo for the coffee and tea offerings!
The kitchen area is a big advantage!
There was a lot of noise from the street. This is a lively area in Berlin, so maybe the window glass needs to be more soundproof. I wouldn't reccomment it to people who want to spend a peaceful time.
In the platform discription it stated that there were no parties alowed. However, there were young people partying all night long. We were waken up at 6.30 in the morning by the fire alarm because the people partying were smoking and playing with the fire extinquisher that went off! The property needs to do something to ensure that this doesn't happen again!
Moreover, there should be airconditioning in the rooms! Too hot!

Too expensive for what it is
Clean design, modern rooms, all digital. The location is perfect for everyone who wants to explore the buzzling Friedrichshain and the surrounding area.
The room was a little dirty, the hallway smelled and the windows are not soundproof at all. You need to sleep with earplugs in order to have some rest.

A nice stay without bad surprise
The area is full of nice cafes and restaurants and not far from the center! Accessing the room with a code is pretty convenient. The bed was comfortable:)
The floor was already pretty dusty and we had no cleaning or towels exchange for 5 days (just vacuum at least). The bathroom door did not close properly and the shower was leaking from the side (so always a lake after a shower).
