Pension Classic

Excellent structure, satisfying what promises.

The reception is not always active, only in working hours 8-20.

The Pension was actually nicer than the photos suggested. Nice high ceilings, decorated wrought iron door, steps leading up on a red carpet - real old Berlin feel. The location was great with metro and buses on the doorstep and the area itself was quite cosy with lots of restaurants in a 1 or 2 min walking distance to have dinner (German, Thai, Italian etc). A supermarket (Edeka) open from 7am to midnight Mon-Sat just a few steps from the entrance was a bonus too. We were glad to have chosen this guesthouse over new and glitzy hotels on the East side where there is little infrastructure and life around. Also, the room (for 3) was quite spacious, about 30m2, and the breakfast was very decent, better than the photos were suggesting.

Our room had windows facing the square and it was pretty noisy at night and early in the morning, impossible to sleep with windows open. Also because there is a Mon-Fri market on the square that is built up early each weekday morning and taken down in the evening.

Excellent location, steps from the metro which takes you everywhere, and only 10 minutes walk from the ZOO. We arrived late in the evening and a lady was waiting to let us in although the reception works until 8 pm. Triple room clean and comfortable for 2 adults and one child. Breakfast simple but tasty, sufficient to get you going. Pension offers 10% discount for the Italian restaurant in the same building. Very good value for money.

Breakfast room could be bigger as there are more rooms than tables, and the pension was full.

Comfy bed, great breakfast, excellent coffee. Spacious room, enough space for suitcases and your stuff. Fridge is a big plus. Amazing location.

Air conditioning in rooms during summer would be nice, although, during our stay nights were really pleasant and we slept very well.
