harry's home Berlin-Moabit hotel & apartments

We have stayed at Harry's home in Munich few years ago and choosing the Berlin one was logical. There is a budget shop on the left of the entrance (nothing works on Sunday in Germany) and an underground station on the right. There is a shopping mall just across the road. The neighborhood may not be like in the city centre but we felt safe and the transport links are great from there. When it works (i.e. no demonstrations in the city), the M10 tram takes you straight to the main train station in no time. Our rooms were facing the backyard so no street noise whatsoever. On some mornings I could hear (my wife not!) a buzzing sound in the yard like a vacuum cleaner or maybe a water jet (possibly from another building). Comfortable beds, practical storage (not much though), adequate Internet access, good aircon. Rooms are cleaned after 3 days but you can ask for clean towels if needed. We ate outside but the dining area looked cosy. Navigating between the two buildings can be a little confusing at first but you quickly get used to it. We arrived around midnight and had been given instructions on the day how to enter the hotel. One thing I would suggest is to add signs for how to reach the bigger number rooms (from what I remember, in the main building the smaller number rooms are clearly signposted but we had to take a bit of guessing to figure out that ours are in another part of the hotel (Garden House)). The receptionists were very helpful and polite, thank you! Overall a great choice for the price.

The rooms were very comfortable, practical and ultra clean. The shower room, well set out and good space. My friends were uprated from the basic room I had, which was perfectly satisfactory. The upgrade provides a kitchen area with microwave and fridge. Furnishings are good quality and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, there was even some non-gluten bread which actually tasted like bread. That room has a comfortable area for relaxing or laptop working. The staff were friendly and very helpful, especially the assistant manager, David, and the General Manager. Their restaurant tips were spot on. The subway is only about 100 meters along the pavement to the left as you exit the hotel. Trams and busses across the road, a very good hub for getting round the city.

Fabian at reception was fantastic and helped me to check-in early and provided a really lovely “garden-house” apartment. This was amazing to be able to check in early since I was travelling with heavy luggage and really needed somewhere to rest. This assistance is something I really appreciate and won’t forget. The room was super clean, I had a beautiful view of the park and since it was not a street facing apartment it was lovely and quiet. The little balcony is private and has a chair and ashtray should one wish to smoke. The bathroom was also great, good shower pressure and a light up mirror to help with doing your makeup. There is a large closet with a safe. The wifi is good. It is also one of the rare apartment/hotel places that offer AC that actually works. Sparkling water, coffee and tea with creamer available in the little coffee nook. I opted in for the breakfast and was not disappointed. Lovely selection of classics. It’s located right next to the U-bahn and is a few metres away from the tram which was extremely useful. This metro station also has a lift to use which makes it much easier if you have luggage.

Nice cozy studio type room with a small fridge, cooking area and a kettle. There was also a balcony and walk in closet. Our room was located to the yard, so it was super quite and private. Bathroom was spacious and equipped with everything necessary. Super close to the metro line and a tram line. Also direct train to BER airport 15 min walk away.

Our stay was great, the room has everything we could need, plenty of plug sockets, lots of hooks, blackout curtains, great hairdryer. The doors were also really heavy so blocked out any noise from the corridor. It was spotless too, which we are quite particular about. The beds were very comfortable.
