"The hotel is very well run ,the staff were very helpful, they upgraded our room and gave us free access to the executive lounge ,after they discovered I am being treated for cancer ,which I thought was very thoughtful, the sky lounge is also excellent where you can see all over Berlin and enjoy a cocktail or 3 ,The tram/ train station is situated right outside the Hotel and you can access all over Berlin very easily, we got a 3 day travel pass for €32 each which was also great value ,the only negative I can give the hotel is the TV had 2 English speaking ones on and they are CNN and one that was current affairs, both not really great watching so maybe a thought in future 🙂,all in all a 5 star hotel and facilities, excellent staff ,great breakfast,and location great also (15 mins to centre of Berlin )."

"The facility is new, clean, and up-to-date. Full kitchenette, including fridge and dishwasher. Free morning coffee service in lobby. Grocery store located around the corner. Self-serve laundry available. Adjacent to the ring S-bahn that goes around the entire city, so it is very convenient to get anywhere from the SMARTment. Buy an all-day or multi-day transit pass, and travel is a breeze. Takes about 20 minutes to get to most places in the city, although it takes two transfers to get to SMARTment from central train station. (But that is true for almost any place you might stay.) Very quiet. I never heard the S-bahn trains go by, even though my room faced the tracks. Good wifi in room. Staff with excellent English skills. I would definitely stay here in the future."

"Having stayed here for 5 nights, what I can say is that the hotel staff is fantastic. The breakfast was tasty, and the rooms were nice. In particular, I enjoyed that the room had a Chromecast connected to the TV. Location wise, the hotel was close to the urban rail and a tramway that lead straight to the city centre. This also meant that the hotel was close to a notable intersection, so that sirens were heard during the night. Nevertheless, I would stay here again."

"For those that want to stay in a neighborhood away from the touristy areas and right next to a main public transit spot, this hotel is perfect. There is a U2 stop across the street for easy access to the city, and there are a couple M lines (street car lines) a half block down to get you to the East Gallery, Berlin Wall Memorial and other areas. The Welcome Card provides unlimited rides. The rooms are set back from the busy street separated by a couple courtyards, so we didn't have any noise issues. There are also plenty of good cafes to grab breakfast (much cheaper than paying for it at the hotel), and great dinner spots within walking distance. There is also a large recommended beer garden a short walk away, which we didn't go to due our visit being during a colder time of year. Although we barely used it, it was also nice to have the mini fridge and microwave as part of the mini kitchenette."

"I had a nice stay at this hotel. The front desk staff were friendly and speak very good English. My room was clean and comfortable. Hotel location is near Alexanderplatz, a bit far from the attractions if you are a tourist. I had to change some conditions of room booking and it was done very easily. Breakfast was good at 10 euro. I strongly recommend this hotel. Make sure to book Ibis Berlin Mitte because there is a chain of Ibis hotel in Berlin. "

"What this hotel may lack in anything is made up for by their incredible staff. Daniel and Filipa are superior in everything they do. They begin with wonderful smiles, and send you on your way with everything you need to know about where you are going, and how to get there. We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Jurine. Our room was sparse, but very quiet and comfortable. The breakfast each day is plentiful with a nice selection of meats, cheeses, breads, and much more. They have a wonderful coffee machine that makes all types of delicious coffees, or instead, you are welcome to a pot of coffee at your table. The location makes it easy to navigate the city due to its close proximity to the U-Bahn station. We enjoyed several good restaurants in the area. Our favorite was the Indian Restaurant, Aapka, which was just a couple of blocks away from the hotel. Hotel Jurine is a great hotel in a pleasant and interesting neighborhood. "
