Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Orania.Berlin suits travellers who want Kreuzberg on the doorstep and a hotel with character. The 1913 building on Oranienplatz has hosted artists for generations, and that history carries on in the piano, the stage, the literary salon and the concerts that guests attend free of charge. Guests talk most about the staff, who are described as warm and genuinely helpful, and about a breakfast many count among the best of their trip. The trade-offs are space and extras. Some rooms are compact for the price, breakfast is not always included and is costly when paid on the day, and there is no spa or pool, only a fitness centre that is open around the clock. For couples and city travellers who plan to spend their evenings in the surrounding bars and restaurants, it is a polished, personal base; those who want room to spread out or a wellness area are better served elsewhere in Berlin.
Guests score it 9.4 out of 10 — the average across the 11 hotels we list in Berlin is 9.1.

Things to Consider
- Some guests found the rooms quite small and felt that the price is high for the space you get. Value for money is the area guests rate least highly.
- Breakfast is well liked but is not always included, and guests who paid for it on the day found the buffet expensive, especially as some hot dishes cost extra.
