It's difficult to know where to start, as everything we experienced at the Orania was stellar, starting with the warm welcome on arrival. I was offered a drink at the bar while my luggage was transferred to my room. No rush to fill in the registration form, chill and relaxed. The hotel is beautiful in every aspect, the decoration is welcoming and friendly. You feel at home here. Every little detail was taken care of. You have the option to skip room cleaning by scanning a QR code the night before, and you'll be offered a drink at the bar the following day. The room key is in a kind of wood that looks like an elegantly designed business card. Nothing is over the top, but everything is done to make you feel at ease, relaxed and happy. The staff is chill and very helpful. Always there when you need them, smiling. Everything in the room works to perfection. The lights (variable intensity), power outlets near the head of the bed, beautiful fully functional bathroom. Good umbrellas are provided if you need them, Nespresso machine, still and sparkling water, you name it. The hotel is conveniently located in Kreuzberg, close to bus and underground stations, with numerous bars and restaurants nearby. We had a room on the third floor with a large window looking over Oranienplatz. The bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows (which is not always the case). The bar and restaurant are excellent, as is the breakfast. I seldom recommend the breakfast, but the Orania offers a singular experience. The buffet is composed of fresh dairies, bread, homemade jams, and yogurt, fruit, cereals, nuts and you name it. A menu of cooked food is also available that will cover your morning needs. Make sure to reserve at the restaurant, as it is very popular, and for a good reason. It's excellent. Every evening, there's live music in the bar area. The bar food menu is excellent too. Great Wi-Fi and 5G cellular coverage. I can't wait to go back.

We loved this hotel! It was in a good location in a busy/fun neighborhood but inside the hotel was so quiet, comfortable and welcoming. The staff were all incredible and so accommodating/helpful with suggestions. The restaurant on site was delicious and the lobby/bar has great vibes with live music (piano in lobby and brought in musicians) and amazing drinks. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. The rooms were spacious, beds were so comfortable and great view of the park. Surprisingly, our room was so quiet even though it was on a busy street. It was a pleasure to start and end our days there after being out exploring Berlin. The rooms had such thoughtful touches as well. Would stay there again and again.

The room was beautiful and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the bar was fantastic, especially on the evenings when they had live music. All the staff were very friendly and eager to please. We added an optional extra of a bouquet of flowers (it was our anniversary) and it was stunning. They also wrote us a letter congratulating us on our anniversary and left us a small gift.

The hotel's own website could be better. For example, we did not find what facilities were available clearly defined (e.g. gym).

All staff were super welcoming and helpful. Reception helped us with recommendations on where to have dinner. We were invited to sit in the bar area and have a refreshment while they checked us in. The staff at breakfast were friendly and couldn't do enough, which was a great way to start the day. Plus, breakfast was delicious. I also loved the large shower, with plenty hot water and pressure.

The pillows. I like a firm pillow and would have liked to have a Pillow Menu to choose from. The standards of the hotel were very high, so I would have expected to see this too.

Excellent hotel in general. Loved the brunch service (until 14h!). Loved the details in the room. Loved the view of Oranienplatz. Staff were great as well. We were very happy with our stay

These are nitpicks: We accumulated several glasses in our room from the bar - would've been nice if they were taken out when the room was serviced, or if anyone else could have come up to get them, but we ended up having to take them back down to the bar ourselves. Also, we ran out of coffee pods on the first day. We got more, but had to ration them.

The hotel, located in Kreuzberg neighborhood, sets a great example of what must boutique hotel should be. Decorations, colors and use of space create happy and unique atmosphere. The room, although was relatively small (20 square meter), was lovely, very clean and cozy. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, respectful and communicative, made me feel very comfortable. The location is in the heart of a colorful, multicultural and friendly neighborhood, offering a delightful variety of food, coffee and music. I would definitely return back!

Everything was wonderful about this boutique hotel.

Very friendly staff, I was immediately greeted with a smile and offered something to drink while the necessary formalities were being filled out. The bar was incredibly beautiful, with sunlight pouring through the large windows and it was a great first impression of the place for someone after a long journey. In the evening, this bar had a live piano playing and one could relax in a big comfortable chair and enjoy a cocktail. There are many interesting places around the hotel - bars, cafes and restaurants of exotic cuisine. For example, Central Asian manty, pilaf and samsa just few minutes away from the main door on the same street in a place called "Samarkand". The room was perfectly decorated with elephant rugs, beautiful furniture, and filled with natural light through large windows. Cleanliness and order were guaranteed. There are interesting books, guidebooks on Berlin to find in the room, which are definitely worth leafing through, and if you want to purchase. For sure, I will come back here again and more than once as now it is one of my favorite places in Berlin and Kreuzberg. May you all have the beauty of Orania in your heart and soul! Cheers.

The room, staff, and common areas were excellent. A very friendly welcome with a complimentary drink which was a very nice touch. The room was a good size and very comfortable, with the bathroom very modern, clean and stylish. The local area was a fabulous mix of bars and restaurants. Public transport available within a few minutes walk, whether using bus or subway.

Nothing really, although finding the front door might have been easier when arriving at night as the taxi dropped us at the bar/restaurant entrance using his sat-nav.

The room was stunning and the fixtures, fittings and furniture high quality. The bed was super comfy and probably the most comfortable bed we've slept on. The location is great - right in the thick of things in Kreuzberg with plenty of options to eat and drink locally and a short distance to public transport links for travelling around the city.

The breakfast options are too expensive for what you get. We went with a la carte because it made sense to just purchase an individual dish such as eggs with avocado. The buffet breakfast is actually quite small and limited, selection of breads, fruit, muesli etc but just felt very overpriced for what you get. This was the only downside for us as we preferred to check out other local haunts for breakfast/brunch, of which there are many.

À la carte breakfast till 14:00 is absolutely what I wanted, there is a small buffet as well, but it is mostly for bread, juice and it always had some grilled vegetables, which I enjoyed as well. But the items on the menu are just magnificent (except tofu scramble :-) )

When I called to ask for some ice one evening, I had to go pick it up myself, one would think a hotel like this would oblige and bring it up... Also, they decided to paint the walls on my floor, which on one hand I get - keeping it fresh, but maybe if the fresh coat of paint is planned, don't have guests on that floor?
