I really liked the location of the CityLight Hotel. It is very close to Gesundbrunnen train station, which made getting around Berlin easy and convenient. I also appreciated how clean the room was during my stay.

“Clean, comfortable, brilliant breakfast”
Staff were friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of choice. It was nice and quiet despite a school trip, perfect for families. Lots of board games if you want to play them and a game is left in your room on arrival.

“Good value for money.”
Very handy to the train station and a mall with supermarkets and food options. The room was huge. Plenty of space for our family of 5. The bathroom was clean with a nice hot, well pressured shower. The staff had put Christmas chocolates and a game in the room for us, which was a nice touch. It seemed like a quiet weekend as we didn't see many people around the hotel. Check-in and out was smooth. The area the hotel was in seemed dirty but safe, although we were always home before 8 pm...

The breakfast is beyond my expectation. It is very good, and relatively cheaper than another hotel I stayed in Berlin. It is worth booking.

“Basic, poor value accommodation in a location with good links into Berlin Hbf.”
The room is was extremely basic. Whilst we admittedly booked at short notice, the price was extortionate.

“A good place for a modest stay on your way.”
Less than 10 minute walk from the railway station Gesundbrunnen with express trains from and to the airport. 24-hours front desk was manned through the night, and I checked in quickly, even though I arrived very late following a flight delay. I enjoyed the breakfast in a big hall, there was a great variety, including delightful and aromatic local seasonal apples (as well as other fruits). The room was clean, and even the TV worked with many local and international channels. Nice view to a rock-climbing park across the street with stunning colors of the fall foliage.

“Very nice!”
I've been to Berlin many times but it was the first time I stayed in a hotel off the beaten track near the Gesundbrunnen station. The location is not as convenient as Kurfurstendamm or Alexanderplatz but I liked it a lot. Citylight is only 5 minute walk to the station that is well connected to the city. The hotel is very basic but very comfortable and people there are very helpful. The room was rather small but very clean, nicely laid out and had a fridge which was the reason I booked it in the first place. Overall it was a very nice stay for one night on a tight budget.
