Fantastic hidden gem in a historical building. What's lovely hotel that doesn't look like a hotel. 7-10mins walked from the train or tram stop. Warm, friendly and helpful staff. Spacious room with all the amenities needed. Restaurant is down in the basement (abit hard to find but eventually found it). There is a pool right next to the reception area so it was cool to see upon entering or checking in/out. It's a walking distance to the neighborhood street that fills with stores, markets, shops, restaurants and bakeries. Just a lovely hotel in a lovely neighborhood and with great staff. read more

Hotel Odenburger.....Historic Elegance Meets Thoughtful Hospitality in Berlin Hotel Odenburger is a true hidden gem.....a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern design tucked inside one of Berlin's oldest buildings. Formerly a public bathhouse, it has been beautifully restored and reimagined as a five-star boutique hotel. The result is visually stunning and atmospherically rich, with architectural details that feel both historic and artistic. The standout feature is the optical illusion pool, which creates a peaceful, dreamlike space at the heart of the hotel. During our stay, it served as a backdrop for private events, adding a vibrant and stylish energy to the property. We stayed in a very special room that's only available through Airbnb.... a private attic space designed for two. It was a split-level loft with steep stairs, exposed beams, and a skylight-filled ceiling. It's not child-friendly due to the stair design, but it's perfect for couples or solo travelers looking for something unique and full of character. This space felt like a well-kept secret above the city. The hotel does not have air conditioning, which is clearly stated in advance. However, our room had multiple fans and was well-ventilated, making our summer stay perfectly manageable. Where Hotel Odenburger really shines is in its staff. Every interaction was warm, helpful, and professional: Bernice took the time to help us book clubs that suited my daughter's taste.... trendy, stylish, and age-appropriate. Gina kindly helped me resolve a train booking issue that had me stressed and confused. The night shift receptionist (whose name I didn't catch) went out of his way to help me add an extra night to our stay with ease and kindness. Their eco-conscious policy is a nice bonus: if you choose to skip housekeeping for a day, you're rewarded with a free drink (beer or champagne) or access to the pool.....a thoughtful touch that rewards sustainability. The paid breakfast was beautiful and fresh, served in a bright, minimalist dining area. The gym and shared spaces were also impressive....clean, well-designed, and never overcrowded. The attic Airbnb room is unforgettable......but not suitable for young kids or anyone with mobility issues. Trust the staff..... they really go above and beyond to make your stay smooth and memorable. Hotel Odenburger offers more than just a place to sleep....it offers a slice of Berlin's layered history wrapped in comfort, creativity, and personalized service. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a design lover, or a traveler seeking something truly different, this place delivers. We'll absolutely be back.!!!!!!! read more

We stayed here for a week when visiting Berlin this summer and really enjoyed our time. The location is absolutely fantastic. Yes, I get that Prenzlauer Berg is the cliche "hip" area in Berlin right now but there's a reason for that. The hotel is within easy walking distance of Mauerpark, a whole multitude of good restaurants and multiple U-Bahn and tram stops. There's a lovely bar downstairs with outdoor seating as well as a rooftop balcony. The hotel's price was reasonable for what you get. One thing I'm not sure I'd recommend is getting breakfast here. It was decent but pricey and I was not impressed by the freshness of their bread and pastries, especially when you're in a neighborhood with so many other options. read more

Ulli B. recommended this wonderful hotel. I asked for a hotel with good breakfast and spa/swimmingpool. I got much more. Stadtbad Oderberger Straße was built in 1899-1902. It was part of the big plan to supply the exploding population in Berlin with good sanitation (stadtbad), secure food supply (markthalle), and hospitals. Healthy workers produce more!! For many years until 1986 it functioned as public bath with swimmingpool. In 1986 the pool was closed, but until mid 90ties you could go here for a bath. A lot of the flats in area didn't have any. Now again the Stadtbad Oderberger have reopened, but as a hotel with the swimmingpool as a very central feature. Hotel guest and the public can go swimming. The pool is 20 meters and 27° C. The pool area can be turned into a big ballroom. Hotel guest pay € 4 to go to the pool. Change at your room, take the hotel bathrobe on, and go to the reception to get your ticket. They also have a sauna and some other spa facilities, but I didn't use them. The former changing room have been turned into a library and a bar (Kaminbar). Every hotel gust get a free drink in the bar. The rooms are nicely done, and features from the old public bath have been incorporated. In our room they have used old tiles for a table top and door to the bathroom was a old locker door. At the room you have a fridge (empty, so go the the nearby Rewe to stuck up on beer and wine), and coffee/tea machine with pads. The television is HD and you can watch most German broadcasts (not SKY). You can also use the television as a radio. Every room has a safe. In the bathroom you get organic body lotion and soap. Breakfast at the hotel is insane good. You get all the normal breakfast cereals, cheeses, meat products, type of breads, and brewages. On top are sekt, special coffees, waffles, and a chef doing eggs on your demand. Most products are home made or local, even the honey. The bread is not top nutch, but it's my only negative thing to say. Staff are very helpfull, and some of them are politely socialising with the guests. It gives the hotel a warming and homely fell. The WiFi is working well. read more

Great location, impressive history and layout complete with beautiful swimming pool and guest rooms. My only issue was with the aggressive staff on the front desk not really embracing the whole "hospitality' thing - or maybe I've been in America too long! read more

So disappointed with the management of this hotel .Booked through their website thinking the hotel would not incur booking fees. So wrong. Too bad for being nice. It was early on in covid. We live in Los Angeles & were visiting Berlin to see our grandson perform with Santa Monica High School orchestra at the Berliner Philharmonie ...so cool... Booked 2 rooms costing around $1,800 ... We cancelled then the hotel cancelled and closed for business during our paid for stay.., Ok they offered us firstly til end of 2020 to visit. Really not feasible with restrictions from US They kept pointing to the option of cancellation when booking Please who knew we had a pandemic on the horizon. They kept emphasizing they were a small family owned hotel. What about us older grandparents loosing our money to them. Every and all the bookings we made were refunded. Including the small hotel in Amsterdam. Th e 1st concert was planned there.., All I expected was for them to honor our commitment to choosing Oderberger hotel and extend the reservation til it was ok for us to travel They took my money & don't care.. Do not book directly with them I am still upset about their handling of our situation. So rigid & unfriendly Agnes . read more

My family and I stayed at Hotel Oderberger for six nights in March and it was truely excellent. Many pluses, and a couple of suggestions. Good/Excellent: - staff are excellent for check in, the bar, and in the breakfast area - the young man who was there was very friendly and helpful - the breakfast that was included was excellent, and a lot of options for various allergies and vegetarians in the family, great way to have a balanced meal before touring Berlin every day - check in and check out were easy and friendly both in German and English - very peaceful and quiet (aside from the odd fire truck from the fire station down the road) - easily accessible on Berlin's excellent public transit system - situated close to a number of excellent restaurants and shops, safe area, easy to walk around, and plenty to see and experience Suggestions: - have the swimming pool free for hotel guests, I know 4 Euro is not a lot, but just makes it nicer - give parents the ability to have a glass of wine/beer by the pool while the kids swim - have a corkscrew/bottle opener in the room - dim the emergency lights in to apartments, way too bright at nighttime, makes it hard to sleep unless you cover it with a shirt or something which defeats the purpose - have a comfortable armchair/sofa in the apartment to make it nice to sit a read a book or watch the TV, the chairs were a bit industrial and not super relaxing We look forward to staying again on our next trip to Berlin! read more

My work schedule changed WEEKS before I was supposed to arrive. They offer NO refund of any kind. This poor customer service doesn't float in the USA. read more
