Hotel 38 - Individually Decorated Rooms in Berlin's Historic Scheunenviertel District

Location & Transport

Hotel 38 sits in Berlin's historic Scheunenviertel district, 100 metres from Oranienburger Tor Tram Stop and 50 metres from Oranienburger Straße S-Bahn Station. Oranienburger Tor Underground Station is 250 metres away, providing direct connections to all city districts. Guests walk 15 minutes to Museum Island or Brandenburg Gate, with a Rewe supermarket and pharmacy on the corner.

Rooms & Decor

Each of the 32 rooms is individually decorated with unique fixtures - some feature newspaper wallpaper, others a 'bed in a bath' layout in the single rooms. All rooms include a flat-screen satellite TV and DVD player, with most facing the peaceful inner courtyard. Room designs are quirky: rooms are numbered both normally (101, 102) and by single digits, and the property spans two buildings connected through a courtyard.

Breakfast & Dining

A freshly prepared breakfast buffet is served daily in the breakfast room, offering gluten-free bread, fresh fruit, yogurt, cheeses, meats, and muesli. Guests can sit on the outdoor terrace when weather permits. A 10% discount is available at the neighbouring restaurant, and the hotel provides special diet menus on request.

Services & Amenities

The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and a tour desk with local advice. Free fast Wi-Fi works throughout the hotel, and laundry, ironing, and packed lunches are available. Safety measures include CCTV in common areas and outside, smoke alarms, key-card access, and an allergy-free room option.

public transport great selection quick assistance

The location was perfect, very close to public transport options (buses and trains are easily accessible) and within walking distance of many attractions. the complimentary breakfast had a great selection, a nice way to start my day. the staff provided quick and helpful assistance with any questions i had. They were always available.

The room was quite small. It lacked adequate storage space for my belongings. i would have appreciated more room to organize my things, especially for a stay lasting several nights. the limited space made it slightly less comfortable.
