The LODGE Apartments are perfectly situated, they were clean, perfectly sized for our group of 12 and very spacious. The entire experience was perfect and I have no negative comments to give, other than the fact that I just wish we could have stayed longer.  They were reasonably priced as well which of course helps.  If and when I come back to Berlin, I will not hesitate to book one of these apartments again.  

Communication between myself and LODGE apartments via email prior to our stay was also very good,

Overall we were all very happy and will gladly come back and stay agin

Very Happy with our stay in LODGE 2, 4 and 7

We booked the Lodge for 6 of us on a hen do. We weren't expecting luxury but on first arrival we were a bit dissapointed as it smelt a bit nasty and it was a bit rough round the edges.

The pictures on the website are clearly VERY old and show it during better days. Having said this we grew to love the place and the location is amazing.

It is very cheap to stay here (less tahn £20 per night per person) so I guess we might have been expecting a bit much for the price.

It's great for a large party of mates who just need somewhere to stay right in the heart of a great area with lots of lovely bars and cafes.

If you're looking for clean luxury then this isn't for you.

Bit grotty but GREAT location

Good accomodation to stay with friends to discover Berlin and its nightlife. Ok, not everything is very stable and a bit old, but everything that is needed to have a good stay is there and the staff is very friendly and helpfull. It was fine by us and we can recommend it to every not too demanding group of friend in the age between 25-40.

nice place to stay with friends

The good news: It's very clean (inside the apartment), reasonably priced.
If you are in your 20's and into late-night partying, this is the location for you. The area is full (and I mean packed!) with kids partying, eating out, and generally having a good old time.  (Not a whole lot else beside partying it seems, but to be fair, we didn't explore the neighborhood much. There is a very nice 'farmer's market' on Saturday am in a park at the end of the street.)
It's also fairly convenient to the city. It's about a 10 minute walk to S bahn and then a 10 minute ride to Alexanderplatz on the 75 train (and others I think).   You can be in the museums within 30 minutes.

The internet is free, reliable and fairly good speed.

On the minus side:
The place looks awful from the outside.  Graffiti all over the place on the walls and doors of the building. The inner 'courtyard' looks like some slum dwelling. We almost turned away but alas, had no choice at that point.  Our apartment was on the 4th floor. Once in the apartment, it was better. It was very clean. Sparsely furnished, essentially no decorations, but had a kitchen with everything we needed. Fridge, stove and dishes, silverware, coffee makers etc.  (No paper towels.)

The apt. itself had two bedrooms.  One very small with two beds and a tiny desk.  The other large, but also served as a living room (+ tiny balcony facing the noisy street), so not all that convenient, since you couldn't socialize once the occupants of the bedroom went to sleep. 

Bathroom is small with a shower only, but adequate. 

The biggest problem was the noise.  This is a party street.  With very loud patrons hooting and hollering into the wee hours of the night - until 2 - 3 am.  All windows face the street so if it's hot and you need the windows open, it will be loud.  On the 4th floor, it's not as bad as I am sure it must be on the lower floors, but if you are a light sleeper, this may be an issue. 

If you have small kids, especially if you are lugging around various kiddie equipment, I would definitely NOT recommend staying here.  Dragging kids and stuff up 4 flights of stairs (8 if you count the half-flights) after a long day in the city - not fun. 

We would not come back here.

Very mixed bag

The location is great - that's the only positive fact about Lodge Berlin. The building is in a terrible state, very run-down. Although the photos on the website look different, the apartment itself is very basic, without any comfort. We had apartment no. 1: couch with stains, broken chair, wardrobe without a door. And you can't lock the door from the inside. 

It's definitely not recommendable for families, as the apartment is very noisy. We asked for a baby bed, but there was no bed clothing or decent mattress.

It seems that some people found a way to make some easy. Beware of this and don't go there.
