Locke at East Side Gallery

A nice new hotel in Kreuzberg, at The Wall and within easy reach of all Berlin sights. Ostbahnhof a few minutes walk and from there you can easily go anywhere by public transport. Pleasantly received by very friendly and helpful staff. Apart from a nice coffee bar, the hotel does not have its own restaurant. The hotel does have a bar where you can also order various dishes. This one is also very popular. There is also a gym, however, we did not visit it. The rooms are spacious enough to spend, as in our case, a week. There is enough space in the drawers to store clothes for two people. The beds are good (160cm wide) and the shower is very nice. There is also well equipped kitchenette with a two burner (induction) stove. Very comfortable to make breakfast in the morning before going out. There is a decent supermarket in Ostbahnhof to stock up on provisions. We had a room at street side and stayed there until after New Year's Eve. The rooms are well insulated. Very little was heard from other hotel guests or traffic. There is a small accessible balcony. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay here and we will definitely come back again, next time we are in Berlin. Definitely highly recommended!

It was so nice to be able to pop down stairs and grab a coffee and pastry and do some writing. I was really impressed with the concept of staying in a clean, comfortable and convenient (close to train and bus) environment, with the added advantage of being able to grab a coffee, something to eat and do some work. The rooms are designed with a lot of thought for function and comfort - which is appreciated when travelling. The staff were all very friendly and the laundry facilities in the basement were modern, clean and easy to use. The whole place runs really well, with a lot of thought gone into what makes a guest’s stay stress-free and comfortable.

Our first impression was instantly great with an amazing river view opening before us right after we entered the hall. The design is superb, and in the room it is as well. The staff is very-very nice and helpful. So, all the good things that should be in any hotel. But in this one I can say it was just pleasant to be! On the top I can mention really good shower with clear system and constant pressure and temperature, and top notch sound proof windows. Also, the river view! Oh, and the restaurant downstairs is quite good, we had great time enjoying the food and the cocktails and watching the life around the river.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel, and it definitely surpassed our expectations. We stayed for 2 nights, and we managed to smoothly check-in even before the given time, which we needed in order to get into our day plan. The area is just ideal if you want to have a lovely river view, also quick to get anywhere. There are not many cafes around to have brunch, although plenty of restaurants. The room was clean and the balcony with the view was just great.

It took me hours to find this hotel on booking and when I did i immediatly booked it. What attracted me was the design and the river, and I was not dissapointed. We had the river front room with balcony and it was a little breath of fresh air coming home after a day in Berlin to sit there watching the ducks swimming towards the sunset. The staff was super friendly and flexible. I didnt eat in the restaurant but the food looked amazing, we did get the mortadela sanduich for breakfast and it was amazing! The room is well equiped and perfect if you are also staying longer periods as there is a fully equiped kitchen.
