Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location of Berlin
Our second time staying at this hotel. This time in a double comfort room (previously in mezzanine room). Lovely large room, comfortable bed, clean and large bathroom and shower. Windows opened and there was plenty of light in this room. The reception team are all great, very helpful and friendly. The bar is a lovely space. And the outside area is stunning at night with the gorgeous lights. Great drinks and service. The area of Prezlauer Berg is my favourite part of Berlin. The buzzing atmosphere at night, the amazing choice of great restaurants and bars. Summer nights sitting outside is unbeatable. Also lots of choice for breakfasts in the morning. The location is walkable distance to the centre of Berlin, or a quick tram ride away.
Breakfast at the hotel is lovely but it is pricey. Both our stays we had the hotel breakfast for one morning and then then went out to eat locally. When we stayed last year the swimming pool, the centre point of the hotel was closed. So we were disappointed when again, this stay, the swimming pool was closed for maintenance. The hotel did warn us a few weeks before and offered us free use of the sauna. It's an incredible pool, maybe one day we'll get to enjoy it.

Charming hotel in a perfect location.
the location can't be any better. Perfectly connected to the public transport network. The hotel bar is awsome and offers delicious drinks.
the room where we stayed was very warm at night and the fan too noisy.

Enjoyable stay in interesting building.
Beautiful restored baths, interesting from architectural and historical perspective. Comfortable room with mezzanine area for bed. Well located for travel into Central Berlin if you are happy to use public transport.
Breakfast was extra and quite expensive if you wished to take it.

Nice hotel in a good location
Lovely hotel in a great location near the city centre. Good sized room, staff were helpful and friendly and the buffet breakfast was great with an excellent selection of food.
No air-conditioning in the room, which meant windows had to be open which meant noise (especially on Saturday night) disturbed sleep. Hotel stayed this is being fixed long term so shouldn't be a problem once resolved.

A lovey old building repurposed as a hotel in a vibrant area of Berlin.
Great location near to public transit and many cafes and shops. New tech features in the room made it easy to stay for four days.
The two-level layout was okay, but included a very steep set of stairs to reach the sleeping area. It required focus and care to ascend and descend.

Very good
Excellent breakfast. Great location.

Fabulous
Breakfast excellent. Staff very helpful.
Would have preferred a ground floor room rather than the one in the remote tower, but that was the only one available when we booked more than a month before our visit.

Great … in parts.
Excellent in parts. Fabulous old building brilliantly converted from the 1902 Pberg City Baths to a decent hotel. Nice atmosphere. Friendly and super helpful staff. Good beds, linen etc. Great location. Cozy bar.
The pool was closed due to an unforeseen problem. Happens but annoying. More annoying was the lack of an offer of discount; free entry to the spa didn’t really cut it because we thought that that was included anyway. Very expensive breakfast, not worth the money.

We loved the area and would definitely return to Hotel Oderberger.
The room was very spacious, breakfast was excellent.
The pool gets quite busy. There is an additional charge for pool and sauna, which is quite a lot even for guests.

Hotel Oderberger is a great property.
The hotel itself is quite incredible with its history of being a renovated bath house. The breakfast was superb. The lobby bar is excellent with great cocktails. The location is great - nestled in an older, hip neighbourhood that appears to be rejuvenating itself.
We had no complaints about the hotel.

Very nice, very helpful staff (with one rude exception).
So many things. it’s a lovely old bath house that’s been restored and reconfigured as a hotel. the swimming pool is wonderful as are other facilities like the spa and steam rooms.
I like most everything though some of the rooms are configured somewhat oddly.

great but too expensive
The rooms are very special and the staff is great and very helpful
although it offers high quality - the current price rises are ( too) high - best for guests who are staying once in life in Berlin but not for repeating buissness trips

good trip
friendly staff and clean + cozy rooms. delicious breakfast
the pool was too cold and the sauna small
9 December 2022
Full of character in a great neighbourhood
Clean and in a wonderful neighbourhood. Historic building
Addition charge to use the pool facilities - this should be waived for hotel guests. The floor to ceiling height in the loft bedroom was too low

Fabulous
Really enjoyed our stay a strange but fabulous hotel totally different than anything I stayed in before.
No comfortable seating area in the foyer

Comfortable trendy hotel with nice amenities.
The hotel was located in a trendy part of Berlin with lots of restaurants. The staff were professional and helpful. There was free water, coffee and apples in the room. The beds were excellent. The pool was beautiful and historic.
We booked a room with a living area and a loft for the bed. Next time I would book a regular room. The furniture in the living area was minimal and the tv was upstairs in the bed area. Everything else was excellent.

Unique hotel. Great history.
Love this hotel. Quite unique. Love its history. Breakfast is always excellent too! Loved being in the top room of the tower. Did find the walk up quite challenging but new there wasn't a lift. If you book this room though don't underestimate the number of flights of stairs to walk up. Great view of the TV tower through the autumn leaves of the trees though and over the roof tops of Berlin. Well worth the hike up the stairs.
Shame the swimming pool was closed but it's made clear when booking that it may be closed.

Well appointed and well located charming hotel but choose your room carefully.
Overall ambience lovely. Good breakfast. Beds comfy and shower excellent. Well located for public transport and lots of good places to eat nearby.
We had a room with a mezzanine on which the bed was situated. This had a very low ceiling ( my head touched the ceiling and I am 5ft 4 in) and my husband bumped his head several times.

Fabulous
The history of the building. Fabulous breakfast in a great restaurant. Very calm and pleasant outdoor area. Loved eating a leisurely breakfast on a warm summer's morning in the centre of Berlin. Staff are hard working, efficient and pleasant. Our room was cleaned everyday with fresh towels and bed linen. We simply love this hotel. A bit pricey but well worth it. Loved the touch of little gifts being left in our room as returning guests. We now have quite a collection of Oderberger rubber ducks!
Disappointed that the swimming pool wasn't available again. Technical issues after an even in the pool area when we visited in April resulted in the pool not being available. Unfortunately when we visited in August the pool was closed for annual maintenance. Seems a strange time in the year to do this. The middle of summer when guests would welcome a cooling swim. Hopefully it will be open in December when we next visit.
