This is a traditional German "pension style" hotel for people that aren't traveling on business and…read moreare looking for something more relaxed. Perfect for a family vacation in my view. For comparison I have stayed at the SwissHotel in Berlin center, which is a nice stylish hotel, located directly in the middle of the city. Perfect if you have business nearby, but a SwissHotel is the same in any city in the world. In contrast, Haus Leopold is in an actual neighborhood of Berlin (Zehlendorf is my favorite part of Berlin, but that is because my father grew up here and I spent many summers here). In the morning kids walk past on their way to school, people commute to work and ride their bikes to the supermarket. Nothing like that happens in center city Berlin. This hotel is quiet, with generous rooms (there is even a room with 4 beds for a family). The owners are very helpful and the breakfast (included) is very generous. If you have a rental car, there is free parking and the location is close to Route 115, which encircles the city, so it's great for trips to Potsdam, Wannsee, center city Berlin, etc. If you enjoy biking, the bike baths in all of Berlin are well identified and maintained. I think biking is one of the best ways to explore all that the city offers.

Hotel Steglitz International is a well-maintained hotel with average amenities, lacking in some…read moreareas. In brief, it is a good option for the Steglitz and greater Berlin area, but the ups are balanced by the downs. Pros: -Staff was well versed in German and English, so communication was easy. -Hotel was clean and well maintained. The exterior is dated, but the interiors were all fairly modern and up to date. The bathrooms in particular were very nice. -Exceptionally well located. Right next to the U-Bahn, the Bus, and not far from the S-Bahn. It is also central to Steglitz's shopping and dining district, so there are lots of great local options. -Mini-Bar pricing was surprisingly affordable, BUT there is an Edeka right next door that sells almost all the same items at about a Euro cheaper or more, so I don't know why they have a mini-bar at all. Cons: -Bed was extremely uncomfortable, and a room with two double beds was actually two single beds pushed together to form a pseudo-queen bed. -Very few amenities. No free breakfast (though this is usual in Europe), no microwave, no coffee maker in room, very limited mini-fridge space. -The wireless Internet is free, but absolutely sucks with extremely unreliable connections. I remember dial up speeds being faster. Plus, they limited you to three connections PER ROOM. I was traveling on business and my room-partner and I both had cell phones, tablets, and laptops we needed to connect. As a result, we only were able to get limited work done in the hotel. This is a BIG downside, especially given how much international business happens in Germany. -The bathrooms have a weird glass door that is virtually see-through. This is extremely awkward as it is both visible from the door and room itself. If you are sharing a room with a non-intimate travel companion, you are going to need to hang a towel over the door to give yourself privacy. I don't see any situation wherein a glass bathroom door is acceptable, to be honest.

Das Zimmer war ok, aber sehr einfach eingerichtet, ohne Schreibtisch und mit schlechter Beleuchtung.

This place is a cute little hotel, I thought I'd be staying one night until I found better lodging…read morebut I ended up staying for my entire time in Berlin. The rooms are clearly pretty old, the furniture and the radio built into the bed make that pretty clear but it's clean and well taken care of, the old style of it was personally charming and combined with the relatively cheap prices was what convinced me to stay longer. The main downsides were the lack of AC and that the cold water wasn't regulated well and somehow ran low sometimes. The wifi could also be a little faster. Berlin was cool enough in the summer during my stay that leaving my window open at night was enough to keep the room nice but the first night when I kept the window closed I woke up sweating. If you are looking for a 5 star resort this probably isn't it but if you're looking for something well run, charming and cheap this is it.

It may look like a strange bedsit from the outside but inside is a wonderful clean mish-mash of old elaborate staircases and architecture. I loved this place which was really old fashioned without being grubby or faded. It had this ole style radio build into the headboard of the bed!! The Mrs and I enjoyed listening to German radio while drifting off to sleep. The room was quite big with high ceilings and had ample space for swinging cats. I do remember the doors were a bit tricky to master. There was this trick with swobs and pushing buttons, waiting for lights to come on then twisting. So be prepared for a challenge and leave plenty of time to figure out how to get into your room!! There's a little bar just past the main reception area which was cute and open until 10pm I think. The staff were polite and the breakfast looked Ok, but to be honest the area is perfect for breakfast with a wonderful bakery right next door you'll find it hard to resist.
