If you read the Lonely Planet desciption of Hotel Greifswald one does not get the impression that the place is anthing special, which should just goes to show how subjective our experiences can be! In contrast, I was very much impressed by this gem of a hotel.

There has been much fanfare in other reviews about the lavish breakfast spread, late check-out time and the cheery staff, which I would also happily second. However, the rooms are also worth a mention - I found them stylishly, albeit simply decorated, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

The hotel's location is also a definite plus. Why break the bank looking for a place to stay in Berlin Mitte when hotels in this part of town (Prenzlauer Berg) can be reached from Alexanderplatz in a five minute tram ride or fifteen minute walk? In fact, I liked this place so much I am coming back for Easter with the love of my life!

room was exellent large and clean very friendly and helpful staff great breakfast and good value for money. Been to Berlin many times and without a doubt this has been the best value for money

Very friendly staff who man the hotel 24x7, fantastic freshly made breakfasts officially available until 12:30pm but I still had eggs and bacon made for me at 2pm. Was also offered home made cakes on top
of everything else.

Rooms simple but clean. Shower temperature a bit tricky to master. No lift.

M4 Tram just outside to take you to Alexander Platz and Hackescher Markt (about 10mins). Taxi from Tegel Airport about 22 euros.

Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

My boyfriend and I booked Hotel Greifswald based on Trip Advisor reviews; it is also mentioned in the new Time Out Berlin guide. We were very happy with our stay. Very prompt e-mail replies from Neil when we booked . 24 hour check in for our 2 am arrival. Lovely mellow Miguel at the desk in the evening. Spacious, light and airy high ceilinged room with two tall windows; bathroom with shower only; budget furniture but tasteful; lovely Ikeaish curtains. Cost was 75 euros per night. - I think it was probably one of the hotel's nicer rooms and looking out over the entrance court it saved us from building site noise to the rear. We had an epic night at the grungey Magnet Club which is next door to the hotel. Dancing til dawn and then a quick stumble to bed. There are many cheap and cheerful Imbiss hangouts on ungorgeous Greifwaldstrasse; we bought 1 euro beers from a shop and had a start the evening drink in the hotel garden- really a parkling area but fine on a hot night. Due to extreme oversleeping we missed the hotel breakfast but didn't starve as there are many cafes in the area. The walk over to beautiful Kollwitzplatz will reveal many cute places.
