Numa | Novela Rooms & Apartments

Location: The hotel is situated in an upscale and convenient location in Berlin, close to public transportation like the U-Bahn and S-Bahn, making travel easy. It's in a quiet area with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and a bakery downstairs, providing a pleasant neighborhood experience.

Great place to stay in Berlin! Have stayed here three or four times. It’s always very clean and nicely appointed. The hotel is very self service and there’s no staff onsite but that’s never been a problem. Nice linens. Wonderful neighborhood. Easily walkable to bus, subway, shopping, grocery stores and restaurants. The bakery downstairs is an added bonus. It really is a great place to stay in Berlin.

Luckily everything worked so I can’t comment on the lack of a front desk when it doesn’t work. On other sites there were mentions of people going through their belongings which prompted me to have everything with me at all times. The room was almost perfect for our family, and I would stay here again, and recommend it to others traveling alone or as a couple. The one truly unacceptable thing was the sofa bed, it was of such little quality that the children were sliding between the springs. They were in tears and we ended up with all four in our queen bed. I appreciated not having a key because if someone had to run back upstairs for a forgotten item they just needed our code. But every coin has two sides, and so the level of suspicion of the person or persons standing behind you increases, and so no holding the door for anyone. Certainly not very civil. If you have trouble sleeping when it is noisy, then request a room away from the street. And parking even to unload is nonexistent, as the sort of people that frequent the bakery right next door don’t have to follow the rules and park in the loading zone. I hope this helps others navigate their decision making process.
