Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Clipper Boardinghouse for its excellent location, convenient to main attractions and public transportation, including easy access from Friedrichstrasse Station. The apartments are often described as spacious, clean, and tastefully styled, frequently featuring well-equipped kitchenettes and comfortable beds, with some even including balconies overlooking Behren- or Rosmarinstraße. While generally appreciated, a few guests have noted that the refrigerators are quite small and lack freezer space, the studio is good value for money.

fantastic stay, prime location

spacious room equipped kitchen friendly staff

The room was spacious. the kitchen was well equipped. the location was very good for getting around. the beds were comfortable. I found the reception staff friendly. the only downside was the reception's limited hours. if you arrive on weekends, help may be difficult to find outside reception hours, other than getting the door key.

the building provides a washing machine and a tumble dryer . these appliances are available in a shared area. the common area allows for convenient laundry services during your stay.

The kitchenette had all i needed. there are many breakfast places nearby. this means you can find diverse options easily for a morning meal outside of the hotel. I appreciated this.

acceptable stay, some disappointments

dirty bed linen loud music

the location was quite central (easy to get around!).

I found some dark hairs in the bed, it was not pleasant to discover that at night. music from a nearby club kept me awake. The bass was loud until 5 am. the staff didn't offer solutions for the noise issue.

limited reception hours extra cleaning fee

the location was definitely acceptable, allowing me to walk around and see a lot of the city.

I was not thrilled that the reception hours were limited. Arriving on the weekend could be tricky if i needed anything beyond just the door key. plus, there was no daily cleaning service. I had to request it and pay extra, which i found a bit irritating, to be honest. i mean, who wants to deal with cleaning on vacation?!

easy walk public transport basic amenity restroom

the location suited my travel needs. public transport was an easy walk.

the lack of a restroom in the lobby was an issue. not even a chair was available, so waiting was less than ideal. this seems like a basic amenity that got overlooked.
