Scene
Homey bed-and-breakfast in beautiful, historic building
Hotel Pension Columbus
is on the third floor of a grand building that survived the war with carved
eaves and elegant balconies. Guests take a small elevator with old, swing doors
to the hotel where they are greeted by a staff member of this family-run hotel. With creaky floors and quaint decor such as the small table acting as a
front desk, the hotel has a homey vibe. Breakfast is served in a cheery room
with wooden tables and booths, and lots of houseplants lining the big window. Fresh
flowers in vases and decorative teacups add a nice touch. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed, matching expectations for a family-run bed-and-breakfast.
Location
Convenient location for shopping and dining in Ku’Damm
This hotel is located in a chic
neighborhood a half a block from Kurfurstendamm (Ku'Damm), one of the most famous avenues
in Berlin lined with stores, restaurants, and hotels. It’s far from most
tourist attractions, except for the Berlin Zoo, which is within walking
distance. The U-Bahn is a quick walk away, and the Berlin Wall Memorial can be
reached in under 25 minutes by subway. Tegel Airport is less than a 30-minute
bus ride.
Rooms
Pleasant rooms with eclectic decor, some with shared bathrooms
Decor varies greatly from room to
room, but overall furnishings are homey including doily-covered tables, wooden
bureaus, and decorative pillows. One room is light-pink with a floral wallpaper border (the
vintage green rotary phone is a lovely touch). Bathroom accommodations vary;
some rooms have en suite bathrooms (think pink tile work and matching avocado green tub and toilet), some rooms have showers and sinks only (tucked in a corner,
not separated by a door), and some rooms have shared showers and sinks. Rooms
have TVs, though some are still tube-style, and all rooms face an inner courtyard. Wi-Fi throughout is free.
