A clean, well-run little hotel. On the dated side in terms of decor, if that matters. Solid amenities for tourists looking to save some cash too: fridge, kettle. They also have a nice little breakfast. We loved the location - easy bus to main station, nearby useful trams and ubahn/metro, also walkable (30 min) to Brandenburg Gate / tourist enivrons. Nice little craft cocktail bar on street below. amazing schnitzel place across the street.

The only reason I didn't give excellent is because the hallway and stairs need work. The room itself was bright and comfortable and clean. I feel this prooerty has gotten an unfair rap. It is an older building and not your IBIS but it is fair value downtown AND the host is the nicest and most helpful we have encountered AND there is an excelkent and full breakfastbreakfast

Das Hotel Novalis ist verkehrsberuhigt gelegen in "Mitte", das dient dem Nachtschlaf, ich habe prima geschlafen. Das Zimmer war zweckmäßig & sauber. Das Hotel ist in der Nähe von U- & Straßenbahn, Theater, Museen und Shopping sind z. T. fusslaeufig erreichbar.

The hotel is centrally located within walking distance to many sites and public transportation. The room was basic...small, clean and with its own bathroom/shower. Breakfast was good and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, the hallway smelled like cigarette smoke.

Sympaattisen pieni ja mukava hotelli

Hotelli oli siisti ja sympaattinen. Palvelu oli erinomaista ja koko henkilökunta hyvin palevuhaluista. Myös sijainti oli hyvä, eikä suurille nähtävyyksile ollut pitkä matka kävellä. Ainoa huono puoli oli se, että koska hotelli sijaitsee vanhahkossa asuintalossa, ei siellä ollut ilmastointia, joten helteellä huoneessa oli melko kuuma. Onneksi tuuletin kuitenkin löytyi huoneesta kysymättäkin. Ehdottomasti menisin uudelleen ja suosittelen muillekin.
