About
Pension Regenbogen - Berlin
Pension Regenbogen is a small, family-run pension in the quiet residential streets of eastern Berlin. The rooms are simple but clean, and each comes with a kettle and tea/coffee supplies so you can start the day without heading out. A shared kitchen with fridge and microwave adds flexibility for longer stays or anyone watching their budget.
The pension sits about 2.8 km from the East Side Gallery and 6 km from Gendarmenmarkt, putting you close to the river and the urban art scene while keeping you away from the busiest tourist crowds. The reception is known for being genuinely welcoming – guests mention being able to leave luggage early, borrow a Wi-Fi dongle, and even switch rooms at no extra cost.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Genuinely helpful reception — Guests repeatedly mention the friendly, accommodating staff – from allowing early luggage drop to helping with room changes without extra fees.
- Clean, comfortable rooms — Reviews consistently note the rooms are clean and comfortable, with a couple specifically mentioning the beds and cosy warmth.
- Good value for Berlin — At a starting price of £71 per night, guests describe it as affordable and cheap – a solid base for budget travellers.
- Quiet neighbourhood — The pension sits in a calm residential area with good restaurants nearby – several guests mention the peace and quiet.
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared bathroom facilities — At least some rooms share a toilet and shower – one facility between two rooms. That works fine for many, but you won’t have a private ensuite.
- Rooms may not match photos — One guest felt the rooms looked nothing like the pictures on the website, with very little natural light and noticeable noise from neighbours.
- Limited TV channels — The TV only picked up two English-language news channels (BBC News and CNN) – fine if you’re not fussed, but don’t expect a full line-up.
- Small rooms, basic facilities — Rooms are described as little and the facilities are basic – a kettle and cupboard rather than a full minibar. This is fine for a budget stay, but not for those expecting more.

Getting around Berlin
The property sits in Berlin.
East Side Gallery: The longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall is now an open-air gallery – about 2.8 km away, a good walk or short U-Bahn ride.
Gendarmenmarkt: One of Berlin’s grandest squares, with the Konzerthaus and twin churches – 6 km from the pension, so you’ll need public transport or a longer ride.
Local life: The pension sits in a quiet residential area with a Lidl supermarket and good restaurants within easy reach – handy for self-catering.
