Schulz Hotel Berlin Wall at the East Side Gallery

Location is great, in front of a central train station and nearby east side gallery and many clubs. Also, its about 25 minutes in train from airport. Breakfast is variable and delicous. Reception stuff is very nice. We booked a room for 4 and stayed 3 people, it was fit for us even if it was a bit cozy. We always had a hot water

I booked a double room even though I was traveling alone, and at first, they put me in a smaller double room right next to the elevator. I didn't like that room—the layout was weird, with the bed right by the door as soon as you walk in. Plus, the room was directly facing four elevators, so it was quite noisy. The bed being so close to the door meant I kept getting startled awake at night and felt insecure. Luckily, after I talked to the front desk, they moved me to a corner room, which was amazing. The view was great; I could see both the Berlin Wall(East Side Gallery) and the river Spree. The room had lots of natural light, and it was so much bigger. It was a complete upgrade from the first room. The hotel's location was awesome—right next to Berlin Ostbahnhof. It was super convenient to hop on the S-Bahn or catch a bus, which I really appreciated.

There are a lot of positives - location, price, restaurant on the ground floor. Great for families, rooms are a little too small. The area around the station, which is 100m away from the hotel, is flooded with junkies and homeless people. Police and ambulance sounds never stop, and you might get scared by some idiot near Ostbanhof. I would say the price is fair, but I doubt I'm visiting Berlin or Germany anytime soon - too many weirdos, immigrants, dirty streets and lack of any order whatsoever, especially in less touristic areas. They just lost the plot, unfortunately.

The hotel was modern - clean and everything just works right. The location right across from the train station made getting around very easy. The coffee shop in the lobby was a lovely place to sit and work with a snack. Plus, the barista was very friendly. The historical significance of the Berlin Wall park next door was interesting and moving. Have already recommended this hotel to family members going to Berlin soon. Would def stay there again!

Staff were excellent - helpful and friendly whenever you needed help with anything. Location was great both in terms of the historic interest of being right beside the longest remaining stretch of Berlin wall and also being opposite the Ostbanhof station (although services there were limited due to engineering work being carried out). The station also had a couple of supermarkets and a pharmacy which was good as there weren't many other shops in the area. There was also good garage and bicycle storage in the basement.
