Novum Style Hotel Berlin-Centrum

Hotel was ok. Beds snall and room very small. Shower ridiculously small. Good bus connections. No operating bar or lounge or restraint.

Last minute booking as planned accommodation cancelled the weekend before the trip. The hotel was a good price for two nights and the room was ready early on arrival. A mile away from the city centre we did find we had to Uber most places however the hotel was perfect for our trip.

Stayed for 3 days here, toilet was very good, strong shower and clean toilet, with hot/cold water. Room did not have some facilities such as hair dryer, toothpaste/brush, shampoo/soap, utensils. Room came with aircon/heater, small water kettle ~500ml, items safe, a small television, cups with coffee,sugar, etc. Room did not have excess to clean water, but came with a bottle of sparkling water for 4 euros. Room was rather small for a stay of 3 people, sufficient space to sleep but no table to sit at, only 1 chair and a study sized table. Cupboard was spacious and great for storage of belongings. Location of hotel was good for its price but could be better. Suggest customers to take Uber or taxi, as location is far from bus station or train station. There are various convenience stores a small distance away and some night food. Hotel has a cafe but did not try the breakfast, rated at 12 euros++. Requested for room makeup each day, surprised that toilet paper was not replenished, but bed blankets and towels seemed to be replaced. Neighbourhood is rather dark and may seem menacing to customers but is fairly decent for stay. Sufficient for short holiday getaways. Wifi was reliable for communication but not sufficient for video streaming.

It was near Technical University of Berlin, which was where I needed to be at that time. If you want a room close to the subway, check whether you are comfortable with walking that distance to the closest subway before booking. (I think the walk to the subway is actually a nice walk.) The room is quite big. The room has very big windows. I just needed to open the windows, and never needed to turn on the air conditioner. (Be warned that hotels in Berlin may not have air conditioner, so check the details of the room properly.) The wifi was not so great, but it wasn't a problem for me. In all, I remember I chose the room as it was one of the cheapest around. A great value for me.

We booked our hotel 30 minutes prior to arriving. Very convenient and staff was super helpful. It was close to the train terminal and to the center of Berlin. Staff helped arrange transportation to the train station and made it easy to get to our train.
