Hotel-Pension Funk

I had a very uncomfortable experience during my stay. The hotel itself is beautiful, but the man at the front desk kept asking me invasive personal questions — like when my flight was, where I was going, and whether I’d be taking photos. I told him I might take a personal photo like any normal guest, but he became aggressive and repeatedly insisted I wasn’t allowed to post anything online. After I left an honest review about this experience, I even received a harassing phone call from the hotel staff. This made me feel very unsafe and disrespected. Would not recommend staying here if you value your privacy and comfort.

If you're tired of staying in plain, conventional hotels, Pension Funk is the place to go! My friend and I picked it after my friend's mother recommended it to us (she stayed there in the 80s as part of a school trip and loved it).||The halls themselves are charming and feel full of history. The rooms are stunning and there are no two rooms alike. It was exciting to open the door for the first time and finally see what ours looked like.|The beds are comfortable and the amenities available are all you need. I love that they keep to the 20s theme, with no modern electronics. It truly makes you feel like you're back in time for real. If you're someone who needs their room to have a TV, this is not for you.||The staff are very welcoming and you can tell that the place is well loved. The breakfast they serve is simple but delicious and enough to start off your day of adventure.||The location is great too. The hotel is situated on a quiet street close to several bus, u-bahn and s-bahn stations, among others. There are restaurants, cafes, shops, and malls nearby. It is extremely easy to get around.||To sum things up, if you want to stay somewhere that is different and has personality, is in a great spot, with easily accessible public transportation, this is the right place. My friend and I decided that when we eventually end up going back to Berlin, we will stay at the Pension Funk again. Truly worth your money.

I had a wonderful stay in this magical hotel. It starts with a magnificent entry hall, a cast-iron lift, and the Art Deco magic continues with beautiful stained glass and cozy interior. I stayed in a modest one-person room that had everything I needed, and the shared facilities were all kept in clean order. The breakfast room certainly merits at least one leisurly morning. Whenever I come back to Berlin, I'll be sure to stay here again, as it's also very conveniently located close to Zoologischer garten station that has S and U Bahn going everywhere in the city centre quickly.

Beautiful building with original features. Our room had an enormous window and the classic furniture made it feel like a really unique place to stay. It’s located within the fancy side of town, with shops like Ralph Lauren and Marco Polo so it felt very safe when arriving back late. Great bakery, coffee shop a few doors down. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. We visited in late October and so there wasn’t many bars open near the hotel but it was really easy to get to the centre of Berlin from here. About a 3minute walk to a U-Bahn station where it’s a short, maybe 5 minute ride to the other areas of Berlin.

Absolutely unique hotel with lots of character and ambiance. Friendly staff, great location and comfy rooms. The former residence of silent film star Asta Nielsen, the decorations were very reminiscent of the 1930s. I would highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again!

If you love to stay at authentic places with a good story, you'll love this place. Large rooms with high ceilings, basic but good shower facilities, big windows with long curtains, floorboards, comfortable beds, good wardrobe space, decent breakfast. Our room had a couch in it too. My friends and I loved it and would come back. Thank you

This is a very old, historical hotel. I was impressed with the reasonable rates. Our room was beautiful and the architectural details were amazing. It is important to know what you are getting in to before you commit. To use the toilet we had to go across the hall (not a big deal) but the toilet room was right next to the office of the hotel. There was a shower in our room, but not a bathtub. It is not separated from the room at all, which was a problem for us and we had mixed gender family members traveling together who did not want to shower in front of each other. If you sat in certain locations in the room you could see everything happening in the shower by looking at the mirror. So, I would recommend this type of room for a couple, or for people with not modesty needs. The breakfast was good, adequate, but not fabulous. The hotel is located in a nice neighborhood. We felt safe. I would stay there again, because I loved the non cookie cutter feel of it, but I would probably try out a different room to see if the privacy situation might be a little better.

"Funky" can be defined as a cool, Sixties hippie place, or a place so stanky your Mom would run away from it in minutes. Make sure you know which one you want, before you stay here.|To me, it looked like the home of the Addams Family. Dark hallways, missing or broken bulbs in most fixtures. I stayed for a few nights and then left town and then came back. I asked for a different room because the bed in the first room was too short for an adult. I came back a second time because the hotel refused to waive any of my pre-payment deposit, which I requested because I am partially disabled and my condition had flared up, and the elevator does not go to the ground floor all the time. The long stairway was very difficult for me. Towels were shabby. Internet doesn't work well. There was loud noise every night from 5 to 8 from the floor above. Poor heating. One day I returned to the room and the cleaning staff had left it unlocked all day. Breakfast was standard. You have to ask for shower and bathroom amenities. There was a dirty bottle in the room when I checked in. Most important is that I do not think that there are smoke alarms in the rooms! |The location is great, with restaurants all around.
