B&B HOTEL Berlin Genshagen-Süd

We found the location handy on our drive from Lithuania to the UK, since it was close to the motorway and didn’t take us far off route. The staff were helpful, and breakfast was fine. I wasn’t keen on the extra £5 per night charge for the car.

We were crossing Germany from east to west and only needed somewhere to sleep from 10 pm until 7 am. For that, the price was the best we could find, and I even got a refund for a small overpayment after I accidentally missed the B&me club member option. We wouldn’t bother looking for another place. If you just need a bed overnight, this is a great choice. We’ll definitely come back.

Parking on site made things easy for us traveling as a family. We stayed in the family room, with one double bed and two singles, and found it spotless and equipped with what we needed. The beds were comfortable, and that hot shower felt especially good after a long day. Check-in was quick, thanks to the friendly, helpful staff. We had a lovely first stay and would come back.

The only thing I really liked was being able to check myself in. I wouldn’t stay here again. The room was dirty, with disgusting carpets, dust on the desk and nightstands, and dirty windows. It smelled of dust, cleaning products, and cigarettes. People kept smoking outside the rooms, and the smell was horrendous. The walls are paper thin, so you hear everything, and the bathroom is tiny. Wi-Fi was slow too. Being right by the highway is convenient in one way, but it’s noisy and smelly. Parking costs €5, which wasn’t mentioned anywhere, and there’s no kettle for tea or coffee. The coffee machine by reception only takes cash. There aren’t any shops nearby. McDonald’s is across the parking lot, but it’s very expensive, and we couldn’t pay by card.
