Perfect location to visit the city and spend time with daughter studying at Berlin Frei university

Stayed in April 2024

This is quite logical and expected, because of old wooden floors guests might hear other guests when moving around; might influence sleep of sensitive sleepers. It is more of a suggestion, but having a kettle in the room would make it impeccable.

This villa is unique and cannot be compared to any accommodation we have been to. It’s not a hotel, it’s not an apartment, you are literally staying in an old design villa with other guests. It’s a great and artsy experience that adds to Berlin charm. The service is great. The place is very clean. The breakfast is amazing, I especially appreciated the size of tea cup and kettle :)

Second time in villa Kult. Everything was great! The penthouse is super comfortable, clean, warm and has a great view!

The mattress was a bit stiff.

Everything, i stayed in a sweet like room. The hotel was full of artwork, and i slept on a metal ancient bed. The owner is a very nice French speaking man and he told me about the artist whom his work fills the place. We chatted for a few minutes before i went on. The whole place is an ancient villa which is well maintained and warm and causy. I certainly would recommend that hotel.

Not being able to pay with card or through Booking. A note in the description explaining payment methods would help. Travelers from the US must pay wire fees to transact with the local bank. My fee was $45. Using a card would be a lot less expensive for guests or I would add a statement to pay cash. That expense surprised me.

History and the fantastic breakfast.

On Booking.com the room is advertised with tea and coffee maker, and visa cards accepted for payment, but this wasn’t true during our stay. When we knew we would arrive late because of a big train delay we were unable to get a reply to messages via Booking.com, telephone call to number provided, text or email, which was a bit disconcerting. However when we arrived we were able to call another phone number displayed on the door and we were then welcomed kindly. This may have been because the owner was away.

Amazing characterful house and garden. The room had fantastic artworks and comfy old furniture and a huge bathroom. The breakfast was wonderful and served beautifully in a lovely sunny room. The staff were kind and helpful. We loved seeing the red squirrels on the lawn among the sculptures. There’s a friendly restaurant a few minutes’ walk away. Convenient bus into the centre, which runs late into the evening. We would love to come back for another visit.

The climb to the room was a little uncomfortable. Very narrow and steep

Very good facility with excellent staff

I went to Berlin for a conference at the Freie Universitaet and wanted to stay somewhere quiet and not too far away from the conference venue. Villa Kult was absolutely perfect! It is well connected by public transportation, yet it is away from the noise and crowds of the city. The Villa is simply stunning and the breakfast phenomenal. My work trip felt like a holiday.

Mattress could be firmer. More lighting at one of the entrances

A good selection for breakfast. Nice verandas to eat breakfast and sit out and relax.

Everything was great.

We had great time at Villa Kult! The staff is super kind and understanding! Communication was on point. Everything was perfect, extremely clean rooms, calm, comfortable! The location is good, very close to Charité Hospital, close to bus stop to go to the city center. I recommend this place with both hands!

Stayed in August 2023

The location is walking distance to Charité, which was my purpose of visit. The neighborhood is very tranquil and pleasant to spend time with good restaurants nearby. There are numerous works of art on display in the house, which was a beautiful surprise. The bed is comfortable and breakfast filling.

Nothing really. The location might not be super convenient for some, but it was perfect for me. Bus stop <100m away (buses every 5-10 minutes take you quickly to Rathaus Steglitz train station). The only other thing I would mention is that this is a huge old house, with wood floors and a staircase. So when people above you move around, you hear it. But I had earplugs, so it didn’t bother me at all.

Totally unique and luxurious property. My room was on the ground floor, and I loved the eclectic mix of European antiques and African art furnishings. Huge bathroom with a wonderful claw foot tub and a shower with great water pressure. Very comfy bed. Breakfast was excellent. But the best part was the host, Renate. What a lovely person. I really enjoyed chatting with her. She is so warm and straightforward and willing to share about the property and her life.

A lovingly renovated 19th century villa in the leafy suburb of Lichterfelde. There are artworks all over the gardens and the hotel and every room is individually furnished with beautiful antique furniture and artworks. While the hotel is not situated in the city centre, the excellent public transport services of Berlin make it easy to reach. There is, for example, a direct bus line to/from Berlin Central Station right to a few metres from the hotel. The staff was wonderful and bent over backwards to help me. I arrived in the morning after a long flight from Melbourne and had a seminar at Freie Universitaet at noon. When I mailed this to the hotel, they were so kind to allow me to check in in the morning without any extra cost, so I could take a shower and change clothes before going to my seminar. The hotel offers a large choice of breakfast items and breakfast is prepared fresh individually for each guest.

Historic interior with artistic accents make this location quite unique. It is enjoyable to be put back a bit in time and experience and comforting and relaxing atmosphere with a slower pace. A great stay for exploring Berlin thanks to the hospitality.

A stay at the Residenz Villa Kult is a real treat for culture and nature lovers. The place is particularly enchanting in Spring when nightingales are going wild. This old villa beautifully blends the past with the present. The rooms are pleasantly, tastefully and comfortably furnished. The host is welcoming and truly charming. I really felt like chez les amis.

This is not for everyone: If you want to do the city center the location is suboptimal and there are definitly more "normal" appartments. And yet I loved it: An old mansion house with creaky floorboards, a large garden, balconies and communal spaces, filled with a collection of antiquties and art. It's got spirit and authenticity, I'd take that over the a run-of-the-mill hotel room every time. The staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful, the breakfast was fresh and abundant, made individually for each person in the nearby kitchen. Finally, take note that the surrounding quarters are some of the more posh, old and high-class areas of Berlin. I spent an afternoon just walking around and enjoying the scenery. Enjoy.

The stairs going up to the second floor are narrow and steep, not easy for an older person. The bed was too soft for me, but I like a very firm bed.

The breakfast was excellent with lots of delicious choices. The house is an historical property which I find charming with its old details, including wood floors which creak.

the bed was squeaking
