Location and Accessibility
SPC 10179 sits in a central Berlin location, roughly 300 metres from Alexanderplatz. Residents can reach Alexanderplatz train station within a short walk, giving access to U‑Bahn, S‑Bahn, tram and bus lines. This makes the residence practical for students attending any of Berlin’s main universities: Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt‑Universität zu Berlin and Technische Universität Berlin. Commute times vary, but the direct connection to public transport reduces travel to most campuses.
The ground‑floor facilities include a gym, table tennis and a courtyard. Multiple tables downstairs allow working outside the room. The building also has laundry facilities. These shared spaces add convenience, especially for students who prefer to study or exercise without leaving the building.
Who is this location for? Students who want to be near Berlin’s historic centre, with easy access to shops, restaurants and cultural venues. The Alexanderplatz area is busy – a plus if you like city life, but potentially noisy if you prefer quiet suburbs. If your university is in the outer districts (e.g. parts of FU Berlin in Dahlem), the journey may take 30–40 minutes by public transport. Check your campus location before committing.
Room Types and Price Range
SPC 10179 offers a wide range of unit types: private studios (1b), two‑bedroom (2b), three‑bedroom (3b) and four‑bedroom (4b) apartments, as well as branded independent house options. This variety suits students who want a private space as well as those willing to share with flatmates. Each room comes with a desk and Wi‑Fi. Minimum lease is 4 months, which works for semester stays or shorter exchange programmes.
The monthly price range is €720 to €3,300 – indicative — confirm with the operator. This is significantly higher than Berlin’s city‑wide starting student accommodation price of €440 per month (also indicative). The lower end of the range (around €720) likely corresponds to a room in a shared apartment, while the upper end (€3,300) reflects a premium studio or a larger independent unit. For context, the city average for student housing is broad, but many budget options sit below €600. SPC 10179 is clearly positioned in the mid‑to‑high tier.
Booking timing: Because the residence is centrally located and offers diverse room types, demand is steady. For a move‑in during the 2026–2027 academic year (October 2026 onwards), start searching 4–6 months in advance. The minimum 4‑month lease allows flexible start dates, but popular units (especially affordable ones in the €700–€900 range) may be booked early. Contact the operator directly to confirm current availability and deposit terms (deposit data is not provided here).

Marianne (4 stars):
“Location is great, central. The gym is nice if you care to workout. There are plenty of tables downstairs to work if you don’t want to work in your room. For the most part, my stay was good. The only challenge was that the room was always too hot. The AC wasn’t blowing super cold air. I left the window open during the ”
Jens Winkelmann (2 stars):
“Good location and friendly staff, but overall a disappointing stay due to room issues. Great location near Alexanderplatz with excellent public transport connections. The ground floor facilities with gym and table tennis are a nice bonus. Breakfast is good but quite expensive. Unfortunately, there were several issues d”
What residents actually say: The location and staff are praised consistently. The gym, tables, and courtyard are noted as positives. The main drawbacks relate to room conditions – temperature control (AC not cold enough, rooms too hot) and unspecified “room issues” that led to disappointment. The breakfast is described as expensive. These are typical for serviced apartment‑style residences; the building may lean more towards short‑stay hotel operations, which can affect room maintenance.
Who this suits: Students who value a central, well‑connected location and are willing to pay a premium for facilities like a gym and communal workspace. The positive staff interaction suggests good customer service.
Who this does not suit: Students on a tight budget, those who need reliable air conditioning in summer, or anyone who prioritises quiet, residential surroundings over city‑centre bustle. If room temperature is a concern, request a unit with good window ventilation or check the AC status before booking.
Who Should Consider This Residence and Who Might Look Elsewhere
Consider SPC 10179 if:
- You want to live within walking distance of Alexanderplatz.
- You prefer a residence with on‑site gym, laundry, and common work areas.
- You are comfortable with a monthly budget of at least €700 (for a shared room) or higher for a private studio.
- You need a short‑term lease (as short as 4 months) and want flexible start dates.
- You appreciate a reception desk and service‑oriented staff.
Look elsewhere if:
- Your budget is below €600 per month (the city has cheaper options starting at €440 indicative).
- You are sensitive to room temperature and require strong air conditioning.
- You want a classic student dormitory with a more community‑focused atmosphere (this property operates partly like a hotel).
- You need absolute peace and quiet – the central location may bring street noise and foot traffic.
For a comparable price, you can find purpose‑built student residences in areas like Friedrichshain, Neukölln or near the universities. Those may offer similar or lower costs but likely fewer on‑site luxury amenities. Compare total rent, location and lease length before deciding.
