Overview & Price Positioning
Hohenzollerndamm 58 is a student accommodation property located at 14199 Berlin, Germany, on a tree-lined avenue in the city’s residential west. It offers a mix of private apartments and shared flats (3‑bedroom and 4‑bedroom units) at a monthly rent of EUR 800–820. This range places it well above Berlin’s citywide starting price of EUR 440 per month, which typically refers to shared rooms in farther‑out neighbourhoods or older stock. At Hohenzollerndamm 58, the higher rent reflects a central but quiet location, a 24‑hour reception, daily cleaning service (as reported by guests), and bills included in the monthly rate.
The property has a Google rating of 4.2 based on 3,561 reviews, indicating generally positive occupant feedback, though a minority of reviews point to operational inconsistencies. The available unit types are described as “3b”, “4b”, and “apartment.” In practice, “3b” and “4b” refer to flats with three or four bedrooms – likely a shared apartment – while “apartment” here likely means a self‑contained studio or one‑bedroom unit. You will need to confirm the exact configuration with the operator at the time of booking.
Who This Residence Suits
Hohenzollerndamm 58 works well for students or short‑term renters who prioritise a clean, secure environment in a quieter part of Berlin, with easy access to public transport and nearby universities. The 24‑hour reception and on‑site laundry facility add convenience, especially for international arrivals who may arrive late or need assistance outside standard office hours. Bills are included in the rent, which removes the hassle of separately managing utilities – a feature that many first‑time renters appreciate.
Given the minimum lease of 3 months, this property is also suitable for exchange students or interns whose stay in Berlin lasts a single semester. The short minimum term gives flexibility that longer‑lease contracts in the city do not always offer. The central location means that Freie Universität Berlin and Technische Universität Berlin can be reached within 20–30 minutes by public transport, and Humboldt‑Universität zu Berlin is about 25 minutes away.
From the reviews, one guest noted: “Great experience! We stayed for 3 nights and found the location to be perfect. The rooms were very clean (cleaned daily), and the staff at the 24/7 reception were always available. Highly recommended. We really appreciated the lockers for our luggages.” This suggests that the property maintains a high standard of cleanliness and customer service, and that luggage storage is a valued extra.
Another guest wrote: “The room, I was staying at, was quite small, but I was ready for that and the advantage of the room was a desk and a chair to work, what was must have for me during my stay. Besides, I had some small problems and all of them were solved very quickly. The hotel is very customers friendly! I was pleasantly surprised!” That review hints that rooms may be compact – a trade‑off for the central address – but that the staff respond quickly to issues.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
The most prominent downside is the night‑time parking situation. One reviewer gave a 1‑star rating, stating: “I had a very poor experience with the night staff regarding parking. When I arrived, the parking gate was broken and fully open, with hotel signage and no clear indication that parking required payment or registration. Nothing was mentioned at check‑in, and no one asked whether I had arrived by car.” If you plan to bring a car, this property may cause frustration due to unclear parking policies and a reported lack of communication. The review was cut short, but the core complaint is evident.
Additionally, the rent of EUR 800–820 per month is significantly higher than the city’s starting price of EUR 440. Budget‑conscious students who are willing to commute from outer districts can find shared rooms for EUR 500–650. At this price point, you are paying for location and included services rather than raw affordability. The “apartment” units, if private, will likely be at the upper end of the range.
The minimum lease of 3 months may also be too short for students who want a full‑academic‑year contract. Conversely, those looking for a short summer stay of only 1–2 months will not be accommodated.
Room Types and Lease Terms
According to the property listing, the available unit types are “3b”, “4b”, and “apartment”. No sizes, floor plans, or exact bed counts are given. In typical student housing terminology, “3b” means a three‑bedroom shared flat (with common kitchen and bathroom, unless otherwise specified), and “4b” a four‑bedroom flat. “Apartment” likely denotes a single‑occupancy unit. You should confirm with the operator whether the “apartment” has its own kitchen and bathroom or is a studio.
The monthly rent of EUR 800–820 is inclusive of bills (tagged “bills_included”). This covers electricity, water, heating, and internet. Given Berlin’s utility costs, this can add up to savings of roughly EUR 100–150 per month compared to renting an unfurnished room and paying separate bills.
Deposit is EUR 200 – relatively low for the rental price. This is a fixed amount, not a multiple of the rent, which reduces the upfront financial burden.
Minimum lease term is 3 months. There is no stated maximum, but review guests mention stays of 3 nights, which indicates the property also operates short‑term (hotel‑style) bookings. For student‑oriented long‑term stays, ensure you specify your preferred duration during booking.
What Residents Say
We have selected three verbatim reviews from the property’s Google listing:
-
Carmen Pedolu (5 stars): “Great experience! We stayed for 3 nights and found the location to be perfect. The rooms were very clean (cleaned daily), and the staff at the 24/7 reception were always available. Highly recommended. We really appreciated the lockers for our luggages.

The overall picture: most guests praise the location, cleanliness, and responsive staff. A clear minority reports issues with parking management. The “very small” room size noted by one reviewer is consistent with typical budget hotel or student studio layouts. If you do not drive and can accept a compact space, the positives likely outweigh the negatives.
Booking Timing Considerations
Since the property has a large number of reviews (over 3,500) and a stable rating, it is a well‑established option. Demand in central Berlin is high, especially for units with bills included and flexible leases. If your preferred move‑in date is September or October (the start of the winter semester), you should start inquiring at least 3–4 months ahead. For a January or April start, 2–3 months lead time is generally sufficient.
The property does not show a specific “available_from” date in the data, which means availability may be continuous. Always confirm current vacancies directly with the operator. The 24‑hour reception means you can expect timely responses to booking enquiries.
Given the low deposit of EUR 200, once a unit is secured, the financial commitment is manageable.
