I loved my stay at Hotel Johann and will come back for sure! It’s in a lovely quiet part of Kreuzberg, easy walking distance to the canal and Prinzenstraße U-bahn. Hotel is quirky but cute and quiet. I had the small double room overlooking the garden in the back and it was perfect for what I needed. High ceilings and windows that open fully. You shouldn’t expect luxury, but it does provide everything you could need for stay in Berlin. Staff were friendly and gave me late check in for a reasonable price which was greatly appreciated! The only slight negative for me was the breakfast which I opted to have one morning. I thought the choice was quite limited and some things had run out by the time I came down. If you are from the UK then don’t expect a breakfast that is similar to what’s offered there. The coffee was nice and what I did have was tasty enough - they had lovely fresh honey. if you are looking for a place to stay that is slightly removed from the busy parts of Berlin then i would recommend. Be aware that the reception is not 24/7 so evenings you will need to use the side entrance and there isn’t someone in person to assist always either. There is a number you can call if you do need help though. I’m glad I chose Hotel Johann and I hope to...
Read moreThis is a bijou hotel that is very near the centre of Berlin. |We were arriving late and they gave us a code and instructions how to obtain our key and operate the drawer at the entrance to the hotel where our key and room number would be found. The instructions sent to us were very clear and accompanied with photographs of the entrance etc. I must admit that we were a little bothered but needn’t have been. We had no trouble at all. |The room was large and had an en-suite walk-in shower etc. which was quite large. The bed was very large and came with separate duvet’s. Wardrobe, TV, power sockets in abundance and Wi-Fi available . Very clean indeed. |Breakfast was continental and self service with everything you’d hope for. The staff were exceedingly helpful and spoke perfect English. They do not offer dinner in the evening but there are plenty of restaurants near at hand. There is a small bar with comfortable seating. There isn’t a lift, only stairs. |The staff are exceedingly helpful and will telephone for taxis etc as part of the service. It’s in a very pleasant area and very quiet and most things are within walking distance. There is an outside eating...
Read moreI stayed in this hotel for 10 days (April/May) and simply loved it.
I had a single room facing the courtyard and it was perfect for me. The room wasn’t big, but well organised, the bed (linen, pillows and mattress) very comfortable, and maybe the best thing was to be able to open the two windows in several different ways, listening to the birds singing, and getting a good nights sleep having an open window.
I also want to mention, that I really liked the hotels policy regarding cleaning the rooms. If you wish, you can have your room made up daily, as was the main rule in “the old days”, but here you control it, and just let them know about your wishes. This actually made me feel more like home! No unnecessary “interruption”, and if you suddenly in the afternoon feel a need for a fresh towel, you can easily get one.
The breakfast was fantastic, a good choice of several healthy choices, and the personal nice and helpful.
Good for bikers to know, that you can keep your bike in the locked courtyard...
