Are pets allowed?

Unfortunately, we do not allow pets in our locations.

We are coming to Berlin to celebrate my birthday-/stag-/hen-/bachelor-party, can i rent a place at OTA-Berlin for this purpose?

No.

Due to various reasons and issues with large groups in the past, OTA-Berlin can not be booked for parties of any kind. This includes all of our locations. Please note that we also reserve the right to ask for a security deposit for large groups, starting from 200€ per unit. We also refuse a check-in to groups that are loud or intoxicated on arrival.

How can we pay? Do you accept credit cards?

For bookings with the refundable rate, payment is due on arrival and can be paid with VISA, Mastercard, Maestro or American Express. The Hotel also accepts cash payment on arrival.

Bookings with the non-refundable rate will be charged at the time of booking to either a credit card or via an invoice that can be paid by bank transfer.

Do we need to leave a security deposit?

In most cases, the credit card number that is used for the reservation serves as a security deposit. However, in certain cases (groups larger than 6 people that are not a family), we will ask our guests for an additional 200€ either in cash or as a temporary reservation on a credit card. This deposit will be returned after the departure if there were no complications with the rented units.

What is the minimum age for checking in?

The minimum age for checking in is 18 for hotel and hostel and 21 for all of our apartments.

What about daily cleanings and linen change?

The Hotel rooms are cleaned on a daily basis, including a towel change. Linen will be changed after 3 nights.

For all other locations, we offer an optional cleaning service with linen/towel change for a fee, depending on the type of room and number of guests, please contact us at the reception for a detailed price list. Final cleaning is included.

TO MAKE YOUR STAY AS PLEASANT AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE NOTE OUR RULES:

Please be as quiet as possible in your apartment, especially from 22:00 to 8:00. Parties, loud music or other loud behaviour will not be tolerated at any time. In the case of infractions, we reserve the right to immediately evict guests without refund.
All OTA locations are non-smoking. We ask you also not to smoke on the window or throw cigarette ends from the balcony/window. Guests failing to comply will be charged 150 EUR AND an additional night for cleaning the unit.
You are responsible for the apartment and its furnishings during your stay – you will be charged for damages. We will use the provided credit card.
Please do not leave any valuables in the rooms and double-lock the door. Make sure the key is not left in the lock inside, as this disables the lock. A locksmith will need to be called at your expense.
When leaving, please close all the windows and turn off all electrical devices (i.e. Lamps, fans, ovens). Please also turn off all taps.
The departure time is 11:00. Please leave all the keys in the mailbox labeled “Old Town Apartments” (found in the building entrance way).
Please take care of your keys. Replacement of lost keys cost 80€ per set. Also you will be charged possible additional costs for our service.
We are happy to be of assistance to you. However the misuse of our services or an unnecessary call-out to your apartment will incur a 20€ service fee per 15 minutes in addition to any extra costs. (eg. in the case of lost keys or noise complaints).
Extra cleaning costs are 20€ per hour when exceeding the standard cleaning time (1 hour for rooms, 2 hours for apartments).
