Hotel Pension Charlottenburg - Berlin, Germany     

We stayed for a week at the Pension and first of all, the location is a great plus. Located in a very chic neighborhood, you not only have many restaurants and shops located around you -it also has a feeling of a cool neighborhood and not a sterile setting. It is also a quiet. Located so close to the Kantstrasse where you will find many asian (vietnamese, sushi, thai-chinese) and ethnic restaurants. Forget about the main Ku'damm strasse -its too boring. When we arrived my 6 year old daughter had thrown up in the car in our towel and we asked Irina (housekeeper) if she could wash the towel for us. She said absolutely no problem and we had the towel clean the next day. Rooms are spotless clean, the pension is more of a old character hotel rather than a modern sterile place to stay. Irina bends over backwards as well to help you out with whatever you need. She loves working there and you can tell. The great plus is the staff and the owner Manfred Stuhler. He is that gruff appearing but caring grandfather you adore. He bends over backward to help you out. He is also quite a personality and gives you the straight answers to your questions. We will definitely stay there again -

We enjoyed our stay here - the rooms were spotless and cleaned every day, and breakfast was adequate. the staff were really friendly and helpful (although we didn't get to meet the famous Manfred!) the location is great - very close to u bahn and s bahn stops, and on a nice leafy street in an affluent area of west berlin. there are plenty of restuarants, bars and shops nearby and its not far on the u bahn or s bahn to other major sites. the building is secure and there is no curfew. its on a quiet street so street noise should be minimal. overall, good value for money.
