We booked the 3 beds room for 5 nights.
The shower is in the room with the beds. There is no proper bathroom.
There was no hot water during the entire stay.
The toilets are shared.
A live music bar is under the room... We did not sleep until 4am on saturday. This was known to the receptionist but did not offer any reparation...
When we arrived at the hotel, the staff required us to pay an additional fee which was not indicated in the booking. It was not reasonable so we did not want to pay. The staff insisted that we needed to pay, and she did not allow us to cancel the booking. We insisted not to pay. It took one and a half hours until she allowed us to check in. (She does not speak/understand English at all.)
We thought it was cheating to charge an extra fee when check in.
Moreover, the whole building is dirty. The carpet at the corridor is smelling. The environment is noisy. There are several bars next doors, so drinking, laughing and music sounds are very loud until 2-3 am.

Unfortunately, english isnt spoken there at all really. I was able to get by with my broken german. Person at front counter was slightly standofish and grumpy in the morning, but by mid day, she was very nice. Place was alright, but very noisy outside. Considering the price, Not bad.
Do not stay at this hotel. Although it has a central location and is next to the Ku'damm with excellent transport links, we arrived to the following after paying over 200 Euros for the first 2 nights of our stay:
-No air conditioning in the room
- The room was not ensuite as you had to use a public loo with others
- No hot running water, unless you wanted to get the key from reception which again would be used by others
- Pillows and bed - poor
- Decor was awful and seriously needs refurbished, as they certainly charge enough
- The reception (although says it is multilingual) didn't clearly understand English, but if you knew Russian, keine problem. :)
- The noise within the hotel started about 6:30 a.m. with the cleaning...:)
I've travelled extensively over the world, but this is one of the worst places I've ever stayed and rarely write reviews.
I checked in late at night around 10:15 pm and on my check out day the lady at the reception desk rejected my request for an extra 1/2 hour to an hour to do the checkout at 12 instead of 11. The cleaning guy was argumentative and ready to start raising his voice on me and it happened once directly and once the next morning on my arrival when I asked for soap and shampoo in my room which was only very small pack of each. Imagine they even argue with customer and themselves when people ask for shampoo and soap and another lady at the front desk gave me a shocking answer that you have to go buy it yourself!!
There’s a bar right downstairs and beneath the hotel that hardly allowed me to sleep until almost 5 am in the morning due to its very loud music that was shaking that whole so-called hotel.
Unlike what I was promised by Hotels.com my room didn’t have a private washroom and I had to go to the end of the corridor to use washroom each time and the shower in my room was very uncomfortable due to its height and step to get in and out inside the room and I haven’t showered in 3 days due to that hazardous height and narrow shower size!!
I do not recommend this so-called Hotel Pension to anyone in overall.
Despite all their deficiencies, they at least can be hospitable and polite to people but that even seems to be difficult for them.
Since when you show attitudes to customers that have paid to be your guest for a few days!!? Where was the customer service and respect!!?
When I arrived after a 5h trip, the lady at the reception told me, there is no hot water but she would give me a free breakfast. I was too exhausted to look for a different hotel at night, so I decided to stay. I come into the room, it is tiny like a jail cell, cold, with a sink and small shower. NO Toilet in the room. I told the lady I am deeply unhappy about that and she said I booked a single room without a toilet! I denied that. She didn't even try to do anything about that or give me a different room.
4 am, people start clanging around, slamming doors. It was worse than a hostel. Never again.

Not same as photos but comfy enough
I don't know if Pension Cortina has rooms like it shows in its pictures, but what I stayed in was a bit different. Of course, I chose the hotel for the price and the fact it was right next to an S-Bahn station, but I am curious where those rather nice looking rooms were.
The room I was given was basic but it was comfy. The windows opened wide and the shower was very good.
As I said, Pension Cortina was right on a train line direct to Berlin hbf station, and the immediate area is very nice too.
What really let Pension Cortina down for me was the appalling WiFi. When it connected it was slow and it rarely stayed connected for more than a minute. I really struggled to get much of any signal there, tbh.
If you just want a place to sleep then Pension Cortina is fine for its cost. If you need internet then I'm afraid to say it might not do for you.
located near the train station lots of local coffee shops/bakeries and restaurants a very cosmopolitan area everything you could want just outside the doors
There was a very disturbing smell in the halls. The Wi-Fi was bad to non-existent.

Overall, would never book here again.
They double-booked my room and made it so I had to book another hotel for a night before I could check in. Then they gave me no refund. They do not speak English well at all, and so do not expect to be able to communicate unless you speak German.
Great place, just that if you stay in single room bathroom is not in room, only shower.

Simple but comfortable, excellent location
Had a single room, was basic but more than sufficient for what I wanted. Shower and sink in the room with a shared toilet just down the corridor.
Location is excellent, just around the corner from a station on the main S-Bahn line so there are trains every couple of minutes from early in the morning until late at night, taking you directly to most of the tourist attractions etc.
This Hotel belies first appearances, the rooms are very clean, comfortable and economical. The buffet breakfast good value for money. The really good thing is location, less than 100 metres from Sauvigny Platz U Bahn. This makes most central Berlin attractions within half hour travel, rail and foot.

Location is excellent and the staff are pleasant. The rooms are clean and had an old time look
There are no lifts and the washroom is not in the room! Bathroom is in the room and is pretty small but loo is outside. The listing did not mention that!

My single room was on the 1st floor above a bar that plays music until 5am on Friday nights and music could be heard all day on Thursday. The room was fair for the price and location was just a 7-10 minute walk to the train stations. The WiFi didn't work from the room either!
Room is clean, area of the city totally good. Great asian restaurants nearby. The room is very basic but clean. The price/comfort ratio was perfect. Not for a weeks stay with a loved one, but perfect for a business or couple night stay
