The property currently holds a Google rating of 4.7 out of 5 based on 159 reviews.
Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
UNP 10179 works well for students who:
- Want bills included: With a single monthly payment covering utilities, you avoid the hassle of setting up separate accounts and managing variable costs.
- Prefer shared living: The available units include 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 6-bedroom, and 7-bedroom apartments. If you value a social environment with flatmates, these configurations can reduce individual costs and provide a built-in network.
- Need central heating: Berlin winters can be cold, and the building’s central heating system is a reliable feature.
- Plan a stay of at least seven months: The minimum lease matches a typical academic semester or a full winter/summer block.
It may not suit:
- Those who rely on the elevator daily: Multiple reviews mention that elevators have been out of service for extended periods. If you live on a high floor and have mobility issues, this could be a significant problem.
- Budget-conscious students seeking the lowest possible rent: Berlin’s cheapest student accommodation starts at around €440 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). UNP 10179’s minimum price is €660 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), which is about 50% above that baseline. You are paying for the inclusive package and central location.
- Students wanting a studio or private apartment: While the property does list “branded independent house” as a unit type, the majority of rooms are in shared apartments. If you need complete privacy, you may need to look at other options.
What Residents Actually Say
Three reviews from Google provide contrasting perspectives:
Positive experience
“I’ve been living here throughout my uni years and I have to say that this place has been a great home. The spaces are new and really comfortable, when compared to other options in Berlin it’s a nice opportunity. The staff is amazing, they’re always considerate and friendly, I’ve never had any issues with anyone.” — Kristina Shoshi (5 stars)
“The staff at this accommodation is incredibly friendly and helpful. They organize enjoyable social events that provide an opportunity to meet other residents. The location of the accommodation is also excellent, and the facilities are fully equipped. Overall, it is a great place to stay.” — Ahmad Khasawneh (5 stars)
Concern about elevator reliability
“Both elevators have been broken for almost a full week (one was broken way before) and there is almost always one broken elevator. living on the 7th floor, i cannot carry water, groceries, laundry and more up. especially when coming home after a long day at the university, you expect me to be able to walk up 7 floors a” — Rosalyn “Rosa” Mcgee (1 star)
The three reviews highlight a consistent pattern: the staff, social atmosphere, and amenities receive high marks, but the elevator maintenance is a real pain point. The 1-star review is from a resident on the 7th floor, which makes the issue more acute. If you are assigned a room above the third floor, be prepared to use stairs at times.
Price Positioning in Berlin
Berlin’s private student accommodation market has a wide range. The lowest advertised price across all properties in the city is €440 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). UNP 10179 starts at €660 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), which places it in the mid-to-upper segment. The maximum price reaches €3,853 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator), likely for a large premium unit or a high-spec independent house.
The value proposition lies in the all-inclusive nature: no separate electricity, gas, or internet bills. In Berlin, utility costs for a shared room can add €100–€200 per month on top of base rent. Factoring that in, the effective difference from the cheapest option narrows.
For comparison, the average rent for a room in a shared apartment in the private market (not student specific) is roughly around €600–€800 for a central location. UNP 10179’s entry point of €660 is competitive when you account for utilities and the convenience of a managed building.
Room Type Guidance
The property offers five unit types: 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 6-bedroom, 7-bedroom, and “branded independent house.” The first four are typical shared flats where each resident gets a private bedroom and shares kitchen and bathroom facilities. The “branded independent house” likely refers to an entire flat or house operated under the same brand — possibly a studio or a one-bedroom — but confirm directly with the operator.
If you are looking for a smaller household, choose the 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom option. These reduce the number of flatmates and give more quiet study time.
If you want the lowest price, the 6-bedroom or 7-bedroom flats usually come with a cheaper per-person rent because the common areas are shared among more residents.
If you need total privacy, ask about the independent house units. They may come at a premium but offer a self-contained space.
All units come with central heating and bills included. The elevator serves floors up to at least the 7th floor, but see the review above about occasional maintenance issues.
Booking Timing
The earliest move-in date is 6 July 2026. With a minimum lease of seven months, the booking window likely runs from that date through the 2026/2027 academic year.
Berlin student accommodation tends to fill up quickly for the winter semester (October start). If you plan to move in between July and September 2026, consider booking as early as possible — ideally three to six months ahead. For a January 2027 start, availability may be more relaxed.
Note that prices and availability can change. The figures given are indicative and should be confirmed with the operator at the time of booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
