Smartments Business Berlin Karlshorst

This was a brilliant place for me - an autistic woman travelling on her own. The location was perfect, literally right next to the station with supermarkets almost across the road. Close enough to the city to travel (and airport) to easily but not so close that it's noisy. The lack of staff initially seemed strange but for me it was not a problem at all. I booked direct with the owners as it was cheaper and they emailed me an access code to the front door a few days before arrival. Once inside it is easy to check in via the online terminal - simply follow the instructions, get your card and find your apartment - it really couldn't be easier. There is a number you can call if you need help but for me it wasn't necessary. The apartments themselves are lovely - spacious and airy with everything you need and nothing you don't. They are essentially studios with a separate bathroom - you get a nice big double bed, a wardrobe to hang stuff in, a TV (which I didn't use personally) and a well equipped kitchen with everything you need. I couldn't get the coffee maker to work without spilling water everywhere but there is a kettle - you also get a microwave, a hob, a dishwasher with a few tablets and a good sized fridge. he bathroom was good too with plenty of hot water and nice fluffy towels. The internet worked well for me with no issues. They have several other locations around Berlin but this was the cheapest and so for me the best - less than half an hour from Alexanderplatz and pretty much anywhere else. The only thing I would change is to have a left luggage area but there are plenty of lockers in the main stations so this wasn't a a major problem.

We enjoyed this spacious, clean apartment which was about 50metres walk to the train station. A perfect choice if you are wanting to explore Berlin.

Very convenient. Beside the a-bahn and the grocery store is a 5 min walk. I would have liked option to leave the luggage before check in hours.

This is like a home away from home. You have your own apartment with a well equipped kitchen, saving you lots of money on dinner. All is new and clean, and the bed is comfortable. The interaction with the staff is minimal and the receptionist is not 24/7.

The kitchen facilities were great and it was very handy for the s-bahn transport system

Well organized and clean. Right next to the S-Bahn and supermarkets.

This is not a BUSINESS hotel/apartment. It is fine as a tourist / student / youth accomodation but..... no air conditioning and alot of street noise when you open the window to cool the room. Close to Metro is about the only good thing I can say. Restaurants and businesses in area shut down by 7 pm.

Very convenient, and affordable
