Emma by Schulz Hotel Berlin Friedrichshain

Superb

Exceptional

Liked: Superfriendly staff. Got a nice upgrade to a big room. Coffee maker in the room. Close to the wall, subway and train station, supermarket...
Disliked: Slightly hard bed and weird sheets... Plastic under or something...

Convenient location but really small...

Liked: The Schulz hotel is exactly opposite the Ostbahnhof with convenient links to the airport, main train station, Berlin city center, Olympiastadion and other places using the trains, underground and buses. Got the Deutschland ticket for all transport all over Germany for a month. The metro runs till late at night and early in the morning so it was easy to get everywhere. Plus the station has plenty of food options and a Rewe supermarket. The "Emma by Schulz" part is just the top 2 floors of the same hotel which are supposed to be more exclusive, the rest of the hotel is more like a hostel. The East Side Gallery - the remains of the Berlin wall- is literally just outside the hotel and the Spree river is behind it. The Uber Arena is a 15 minute walk away along the East Side Gallery.Had asked for a quiet room but was given one facing the station and the main road. It was quiet with the window closed and the airconditioning on but the curtain is really thin and the rising sun woke me up every morning around 5am. The room is really tiny but I could manage. Nice bathroom and shower and good toiletries. There were a couple of shelves and a short hanging rail with a small desk and a single stool. There was a coffee machine and a kettle but no fridge.
Disliked: Got too many emails and messages from the hotel a few days before arrival asking to download the Schulz app and complete the check in online. Could not do it because I was travelling plus the app did not work. The staff at reception checked me in normally when I arrived. Breakfast was too expensive so I did not try it.
