The space was roomy and mostly clean
The stove burners were quite dirty. The toilet was very unkept. I cleaned it a bit but a bathroom should be cleaned everyday. We were provided with 3 coffees for 3 people for 4 overmight stays. A sign requesting us to keep the place clean, while perhaps understandable, were unable to fo a good job with no way to clean the floor or wipe up spills or messes. We did use the bottle of toilet cleaner
Accessibility was also an issue as we had to climb three flights ofstairs. I don't recall seeing anything about that when we booked our room.

Zimmer war besser als nach Bewertungen gedacht
Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter kann sehr schwierig sein, steht in diversen Bewertungen. Darum waren wir extrem um einen lammfrommen Umgang bemüht und haben auch eine Vorabüberweisung von 100 Euro getätigt, obwohl so etwas von hotels.com nicht erfolgen soll, da uns mit der Weitervergabe der Unterkunft gedroht wurde.
Bei der Ankunft gab es Unstimmigkeiten um eine angeblich nicht stornierte Zweitbuchung. Die Stornierung konnte aber nachgewiesen werden.
Wir hatten dann die Auswahl zwischen 4 unterschiedlichen 4 Bettzimmern ( 2 im Haupthaus, zwei in unterschiedlichen Häusern auf der anderen Straßenseite.
Wir entschieden und für Nr 13 mit 4 Einzelbetten - 2 zusammengestellt - in der 1. Etage mit kleinem Bad.
Man hört etwas, wenn die Gasstättenbetreiber im Hof zu Gange sind, ist aber selten und erträglich. Sonst nach hinten raus recht ruhig. Kühlschrank mit kl. Gefrierfach, Senseo Maschine und Teller, Becher / Tasse und Besteck für jede Person vorhanden.
In der 2. Etage wäre die weitere Unterkunft - jedoch etwas kleiner und mit Etagenbett und größeres Bad über den Flur -. In dieser Etage ist auch eine Küche mit 2 Herdplatten für alle Zimmer. Ist ganz praktisch. Dort begrenzt auch Gläser. Leider keine normale Kaffeemaschine.
10 Minuten bis zur S-Bahn, dort EDEKA, Exner Bäcker empfehlenswert, Restaurant im Haus Personal war uns gegenüber unfreundlich, Getränkebestellung dauerte lange und dann gab es ab 21 Uhr kein Essen mehr. Kleine Pizzaria Richtung S-Bahn rechtsseitig empfehlenswert
Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen, die Zimmer, waren sauber und allgemein ist das ganze in einer schönen und ruhigen Lage gelegen.
Kaffeemaschine auf dem Zimmer- super praktisch! Das einzige, was man verbessern könnte, wäre, dass man den Eingang der Pension nachts besser findet. Praktisch wäre auch ein Besen im Zimmer, falls einem mal etwas hinunterfällt. Top Preis/Leistungsverhältnis!
Contra:
- Aufforderung beim Check-In die Buchung bei eBookers zu stornieren, damit die 15% Provision nicht gezahlt werden müssen - der Preis für uns bliebe hierbei allerdings gleich
- Schimmel in der Dusche
- nur Barzahlung
- WLAN schlecht bis gar nicht vorhanden, je nach Zimmer
- alte, in die Jahre gekommene Möbel
- sehr Dünne Wände, man hört jedes Wort im Nachbarzimmer
- Eingang zum Haus über Raucherecke des Personals erreichbar
- unbequemen Bett, zu dünne Matratze, als würde man auf Holz liegen. 4 Tage Rückenschmerzen.
- schlechte Parkplatzsituation
Pro:
- Geschäfte und Restaurants fußläufig erreichbar
L'hotel est propre et tres bien situe mais il n'y a pas de savon ni de shampoing dans la chambre et le patron n'en donne pas. Il n'y avait pas de serviette quand je suis arrivé mais quand j'en ai demandé, j'ai eu de franches excuses, s'était donc probablement un oubli.
La chambre était de taille moyenne, fraichement retapée. Il m'a été demandé de payer cash mais j'ai pu argumenter pour faire un virement par internet à la place (possible uniquement parce que je suis resté une semaine, pour une nuit ou deux, prévoir du cash).
Donc petits désagréments surmontables mais globalement, bonne chambre. Le chef parle bien anglais, donc pas de souci de communication en général. Les gens qui tiennent la boutique ont l'air honnetes et ont visiblement bossé beaucoup pour que ca marche.
Trotz Umbaus war der Eigentümer immer bereit, Fragen zu beantworten(wie funktioniert die Kaffeemaschine) und Mängel abzustellen (Heizung). Immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereiFreundlich und hilfsbereit
Uriges Haus mit individuellen Zimmern.
Keine Seife oder Shampoo im Bad - wenn mann's weiss, ist das OK. Der Näherungsschalter, der Lüfter und Licht im Bad anschaltet, reagiert schon, wenn man sich nur im Bett umdreht - nicht optimal! Ganz ausschalten ist nicht vorgesehen.
Ansonsten sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. WLAN funktionierte erst nicht, der kleine Wackelkontakt wurde dann aber schnell lokaisiert und behoben.
WLAN war kostenlos und - ziemlich einmalig: ALLE TELEFONATE ins deutsche Festnetz kostenlos! Das habe ich bisher noch nirgens erlebt.
Wer arbeiten muß, für den ist das Frühstücksangebot ab 08:00 Uhr zu spät. Man bucht das Zimmer aber ohne Frühstück und direkt gegenüber gibt's eine gute Bäckerei.
The Pension Unicat was a great place to stay outside of Berlin. We stayed in an annex(?) across the street and our rooms were large. The rooms were clean, bright and airy. The restaurant was excellent and the portions were huge. The staff all spoke at least a little English were friendly and helpful. The train into Berlin is just down the street about a 5 minute walk. The only con was the on street metered parking.
