Overview and location
Neon Wood Adlershof is a student residence located at 12489 Berlin, Germany, in the Adlershof district. This is a relatively quiet, green neighbourhood in the south-east of the city, close to the Adlershof science and technology park. The apartment offers studio units only, with monthly rents ranging from 849 € to 1,215 € (indicative — confirm with the operator). Minimum lease length is 3 months. The property lists bills as included, and on-site facilities include a gym and laundry. As of the data date, the residence carries a Google rating of 4.3 from 86 reviews.
The location is served by the S-Bahn station (Adlershof) within walking distance, giving access to central Berlin in roughly 20–30 minutes. The immediate surroundings include three supermarkets and a McDonald’s directly opposite the building, as noted in one resident review. The area is home to several research institutes and a campus of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin; Freie Universität Berlin and Technische Universität Berlin are also reachable by public transport, though commute times vary.
Who is this residence suitable for?
Neon Wood Adlershof is a good fit for students who want a self-contained living space – a studio – with few shared responsibilities. The property’s all-inclusive billing (bills included tag) simplifies monthly budgeting, and the presence of a gym and laundry facilities on site reduces the need to go elsewhere. The minimum lease of 3 months also offers flexibility for exchange students or those on short-term programmes.
The quiet, green neighbourhood suits residents who prefer a less hectic environment than central Berlin. One reviewer describes it as “a peaceful neighbourhood” with a green interior yard where you can “play games in the summer or build a snowman in the winter.” This makes the residence appealing for students who prioritise calm study conditions and enjoy outdoor communal space within the building.
The on-site maintenance support seems responsive according to one positive review. Marco soliman wrote: “best services, when faced with any issues regarding anything in your room, Mijael, onsite always ready and happy to help.” For tenants who value quick, in-person problem solving, this could be a decisive advantage.
Who might want to consider other options?
This residence may not suit students with a very tight budget. Berlin’s city-wide starting price for student accommodation is 440 € per month (indicative figure). At a minimum of 849 € per month, Neon Wood Adlershof is nearly double that baseline. Although studios typically cost more than shared flats, the price range here sits well above many student housing options in the city. Rent-sensitive students should shop around carefully.
Negative reviews point to drawbacks with maintenance responsiveness. Ilia Zimin wrote: “They have an unpleasant habit of running the outdated facility without fixing the existing issues. If you send them an email, it takes days to be answered.” This suggests that while on-site staff may be helpful, the overall management or facility condition can frustrate some tenants. If reliable, fast communication is important to you, this inconsistency is worth noting.
The property currently lists only studio units. There are no shared flats (ensuite rooms or apartments with common living areas). This means you have less opportunity to socialise within the building through shared kitchens or living rooms. Students who prefer a more communal living setup may find the studio-only model isolating.
The neighbourhood, while peaceful, is relatively far from the historic centre of Berlin. If you want to be within walking distance of nightlife, major museums, or your university campus in central districts like Mitte or Kreuzberg, Adlershof may feel remote. Commute times to Freie Universität Berlin (Dahlem) and Technische Universität Berlin (Charlottenburg) can be 30–45 minutes each way by public transport.
What residents say
Three Google reviews were available and are quoted verbatim below. They reflect a split in resident experience.
Marco soliman (5 stars):
“best services, when faced with any issues regarding anything in your room,Mijael, onsite always ready and happy to help. best and kindest services available. Appreciate the Neon wood Team.”
This review highlights strong on-site service, particularly a staff member named Mijael. The tone is appreciative and suggests that when problems arise, they are resolved promptly in person.
Ilia Zimin (1 star):
“They have an unpleasant habit of running the outdated facility without fixing the existing issues. If you send them an email, it takes days to be answered. Any problem is almost unsolvable.”
The contrast is sharp. This reviewer points to an outdated facility and slow email communication, painting a picture of unresolved issues. The discrepancy between the two reviews may depend on whether a tenant interacts mainly with on-site staff versus administrative channels.
Eduard Popovici (5 stars):
“Amazing student living, with a new building located in a peaceful neighbourhood. It has a green interior yard where you can play games in the summer or build a snowman in the winter. There are 3 supermarkets and a McDonalds in front of the building. The S Bahn station is relatively close, so you are connected to the ci”
This review emphasises the building’s condition (described as new), the outdoor space, and the convenience of nearby shops and public transport. The phrase “connected to the city” is cut off but implies good transit links.
Taken together, the reviews suggest that the physical environment and location are well regarded, but management responsiveness varies. It is wise to contact the operator with any specific questions about maintenance protocols and communication channels before committing.
Price positioning in Berlin
Berlin’s starting price for student accommodation across all types is 440 € per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). The city has 97 student properties available on the platform. Neon Wood Adlershof’s minimum rent of 849 € per month is 93 % above that starting point. Its maximum of 1,215 € is roughly 2.8 times the city baseline.
Given that the property offers studios only and includes bills, it is positioned in the mid-to-upper range of Berlin student housing. Studios in purpose-built student residences typically command a premium because they provide private kitchen and bathroom plus on-site amenities. However, there are cheaper studio options elsewhere in Berlin. To assess relative value, you should compare the exact square footage and included services of each property.
The bills-included tag (likely covering water, heating, electricity, and internet) adds predictability to monthly costs, but the total rent remains high. If you are considering a shared flat (WG) in the private market, you might pay 500–700 € per month all-inclusive for a room – but shared flats come with different trade-offs (less privacy, variable landlord quality). Neon Wood Adlershof suits those who prioritise privacy and convenience and are willing to pay extra.
Room types and lease terms
The listing indicates only one unit type: studio. There are no shared apartments or multi-bedroom units. Each studio includes its own kitchenette and bathroom. The minimum lease is 3 months, which offers flexibility for semester exchange or short-term studies.
The exact size of the studios is not stated in the data, but based on typical purpose-built student studios in Berlin, unit sizes likely range from approximately 18 to 30 square metres. The price variation (849–1,215 €) probably reflects differences in floor level, aspect, or size.
Lease term notes:
- Minimum stay: 3 months
- No maximum specified, but standard student contracts run for a semester or year
- Bills are included in the monthly rent (electricity, water, heating, internet)
- Deposit amount is not provided in the source data – confirm with the operator
If you need a shorter stay (less than 3 months), this property will not work. For stays of one semester (approximately 4–6 months), it is suitable.
Booking timing considerations
The data includes a tag “not_available”, which suggests that the property may be fully booked at the time of data collection (2026 July). This status can change quickly, so always check current availability directly.
Because this residence has a relatively high rating (4.3) and is located near a university hub, it may become fully booked several months before the typical start of semesters. For the winter semester (October), many students secure housing in June–August. For the summer semester (April), booking between December and February is common.
If the property shows availability, you should reserve as early as possible – at least 3–4 months in advance – especially if you have a preference for a specific price tier. Last-minute bookings may leave you with only the higher-priced units or no availability at all.
FAQ
Is the rent all-inclusive, or are there extra costs?
The property is tagged “Bills_Included”, meaning that electricity, water, heating, and internet are typically covered in the monthly rent. However, you should confirm the exact scope with the operator (e.g., whether TV licence or any cleaning fees are separate). The price range given (849–1,215 €) is indicative – confirm with the operator before signing.
What is the minimum and maximum lease length?
The minimum lease is 3 months. There is no stated maximum in the data; standard contracts often run for one year, but you can ask for longer or shorter terms. If you require a lease shorter than 3 months, this residence is not an option.
How close is the property to major universities?
The residence is in Adlershof, which hosts a campus of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Freie Universität Berlin (Dahlem) and Technische Universität Berlin (Charlottenburg) are reachable by S-Bahn and regional train. Journey times vary – approx. 30–45 minutes to most central campuses. Use the S-Bahn station Adlershof, which is a short walk from the building. Actual commute depends on your destination and timetable.
