THE BASE BERLIN ONE, Berlin

Pankow offers a calm, park-fringed setting with a shopping centre and numerous cafés within a 5-10 minute walk. Public transport is accessible: the Pankow U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations are about 10-15 minutes on foot, with tram and bus stops even closer. Travel time to central sights (Alexanderplatz, Brandenburg Gate) is roughly 20-30 minutes by train. For airport transfers, the FEX train to Gesundbrunnen plus S-Bahn to S Pankow is efficient; taxis and rideshare are also widely available. Bicycle storage is available on site, making cycling a viable option for exploring the broader city.

Room categories include double rooms with city views, a studio with courtyard views, and an apartment with a terrace. All units feature a private walk-in shower and hairdryer, plus heating and a work desk. Rooms are minimalist and lack closets, shelves, or bedside storage; hanging rods are provided. No mini-fridges, tea/coffee-making facilities, or air conditioning are present (a standing fan is provided instead). Bedding is comfortable, with spacious rooms - though some have reported issues with room temperature (heating can run high) and noise from corridors or external terraces. For longer stays, the lack of daily cleaning and absence of a room safe are important considerations. The apartment category includes a fridge and an electric kettle; other room types do not.

The gym is free for all guests and open around the clock, equipped with weights, cardio machines, and fitness/spa lockers - though no treadmill is available. A shared lounge/TV area and board games offer low-key indoor entertainment. Outdoor facilities include a sun terrace, rooftop terrace with loungers, BBQ area, and a small garden with furniture. Football tables and movie nights (free) are available on request. Happy hour and bike hire (off-site) are also on offer. The surrounding neighbourhood includes parks ideal for jogging, and hiking/cycling routes are accessible off-site.
