Hotel-Pension Funk

Getting the key out of small box not clearly marked or indeed explained in the email was very stressful. This is a real problem. Hotel reception closes at 4pm!!!!

The property is charming, staff is knowledgeable and very helpful, breakfast was excellent and good variety of items, hotel is located in a very nice area of Berlin and close to transportation. Enjoyed my stay very much.

My friend and I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and it was perfect! The facade of the building is beautiful and the street is in a great location, there is an underground station not even a 5 min walk away and an S-bahn about 10 mins away. The area is full of really lovely buildings and shops so we really didn't mind the walk at all. We found the area to be quite safe as well, it remained lively at night so it wasn't isolated and you have to have a key to the hotel in order to actually get inside the building which was very reassuring for 2 young women! We had a great room with a bathroom and had no problems at all in this regard. We didn't try the breakfast but it was a reasonable €6 a day. The only thing I would say is that there was no safe in the hotel room but the requirement for a key to get in the building gave us peace of mind. Also my friend found it a bit rowdy at night time, but I'm a heavy sleeper and can't say I share this complaint. If you're looking for something quirky in a good spot then this is the place for you! Thanks

On my very recent 12 day (9/14-25/2015) first trip back to Germany in 24 years (I lived in W. Berlin 1971-73), Pension Funk was a good final pension/hotel experience. I had previously stayed at an easyHotel in Berlin, and an Ibis hotel in Dresden, which were good, well within my budget, etc., but decidedly modern, without any real individual character. Pension Funk was an interesting historical contrast, and reminded me of older days in Berlin -- Christopher Isherwood's pre-WW counter-cultural Berlin came to mind. I found the staff personable and quite helpful. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a more "funky" historical hotel/pension experience.
