Tannhaus Apartments Frankfurter Tor – Decision Review
Tannhaus Apartments Frankfurter Tor is a studio-only residence located in Berlin’s Friedrichshain district, near the Frankfurter Tor intersection. It is managed by Tannhaus as part of a broader student housing complex that also includes the Neon Wood student dormitory. The property offers fully furnished private studios with bills included, and availability starts from 6 July 2026. This review helps you decide whether this residence matches your priorities, budget, and expectations for student life in Berlin.
Who This Residence Suits
Tannhaus Apartments Frankfurter Tor works well for students who value independence in a central, well-connected location. Each unit is a self-contained studio with its own kitchen and bathroom, so you do not need to share common living spaces with other residents. This setup appeals to those who prefer privacy, a quiet study environment, or who simply want to avoid the unpredictability of shared flats.
The residence is also a good fit for students who want to move in quickly and travel light. All apartments come with furniture, a kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, a TV, a couch, wooden flooring, and basic household accessories. Since bills (including internet and electricity) are included in the listed rent, you can plan your monthly expenses without worrying about separate utility payments. The minimum lease term of one month also adds flexibility for exchange students, interns, or those on short-term programmes.
Location is another strength. The property sits on the U5 underground line, which reaches Berlin Central Station in about 13 minutes. The M10 tram runs towards Warschauer Strasse, a major transport hub and nightlife area. Within walking distance, you find supermarkets, cafés, and the parks along the Spree river. Students attending Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, or Technische Universität Berlin will need to factor in commute times — central but not adjacent to any single campus.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
Students on a tight budget should carefully consider the price range. The monthly rent starts at €1,395 and goes up to €2,220. Berlin’s overall student housing market has a citywide from-price of €440 per month (typically for shared flats or basic rooms in purpose-built residences). Tannhaus Apartments Frankfurter Tor therefore sits in the premium segment. If you are looking to keep your housing costs below €900–1,000 a month, this residence is not a realistic option.
The property only offers studio units. There are no shared flats, en-suite rooms in clusters, or multi-bedroom apartments. If you prefer the social environment of a shared flat or want to split costs with flatmates, you will not find that option here.
One reviewer (Google, 3 stars) flagged that the residence is an integral part of the Neon Wood student dormitory complex, and that during the booking process this connection is not prominently disclosed. If you value a completely independent building separate from a larger dormitory environment, you may want to confirm the exact building setup with the operator before signing.
What Residents Actually Say
The property has a Google rating of 3.9 based on 27 reviews. Here is a summary of the available feedback.
Eduard Popovici (5 stars) wrote: “Beautiful, spacious, furnished apartment with amazing features: dishwasher, bathtub, 180x200 bed, big, wide TV, couch, wooden floor, and all the necessary household accessories. Location is perfect, easy access to U5, which is a 13-minute ride to Central Station, and M10, which also goes towards Warschauer Str, like 6…” This review highlights the apartment quality, the inclusion of appliances many rentals lack, and transport connectivity.
Tuana SAĞIROĞLU (5 stars) wrote: “A very decent, central student accommodation with great amenities. Also, the receptionists are helpful and friendly. Thanks!” This points to positive on-site customer service and a generally satisfactory experience.
Алексей Билибин (3 stars) wrote: “Reasonably acceptable furnished apartments, good location, but there are several significant drawbacks that everyone considering staying here should be aware of. Tannhaus itself is an integral part of the Neon Wood student dormitory. During the booking process, you won’t come across the fact that you will be living amo…” This feedback indicates that while the apartment itself is acceptable, the lack of upfront clarity about being part of a larger dormitory was a concern for this reviewer.
Overall, the three available quotes show a split between residents who are very satisfied with the physical apartment and location, and those who find the arrangement less transparent than ideal. The rating of 3.9 reflects a generally positive but not exceptional experience among the 27 respondents.
Price Positioning vs the Berlin Market
Berlin’s purpose-built student accommodation market has a from-price of €440 per month. That figure typically refers to the cheapest available room — often a shared flat room or a basic en-suite in a large residence far from the centre. Tannhaus Apartments Frankfurter Tor’s monthly rent of €1,395–€2,220 is approximately 3 to 5 times that baseline.
What you get for the premium:
- A fully private studio (no flatmates)
- All bills included (internet, electricity, water)
- Furniture and kitchen appliances (dishwasher, large bed, TV)
- A central Friedrichshain location with direct U5 and M10 access
- A minimum lease of one month
Comparable private studios in central Berlin typically range from €1,100 to €1,800 per month (unfurnished or semi-furnished, bills not always included). When you factor in bills, furniture costs, and the short-lease flexibility, the price is in line with the top tier of the studio market. However, it is significantly more expensive than a shared flat or a standard student residence room in Berlin.
Room Type and Booking Timing
Tannhaus Apartments Frankfurter Tor only offers studios. There are no en-suite rooms in shared flats, no cluster apartments, and no multi-bedroom options. If you are looking for a private studio with the convenience of a managed building, the choice is simply between the different studio units available at different price points within the €1,395–€2,220 range (likely varying by size, floor, or window orientation).
Booking timing for 2026: availability starts from 6 July 2026. Given that Berlin’s student housing market is tight — 97 properties listed in the city, but many fill months in advance — starting your search early is advisable. For a July 2026 move-in, reaching out to the operator in early 2026 (around January–March) gives you time to compare options and secure a unit while more studios are still available. Last-minute bookings (within 4–6 weeks of arrival) may still work if the residence has vacancies, but the selection of floor plans and price points will be narrower.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Is the rent really all-inclusive, and are there any extra fees?
The property tags include Internet, Kitchen, and Bills Included. The monthly rent shown (€1,395–€2,220) is indicative — confirm with the operator whether it covers all utility costs, including electricity, water, heating, and internet. Based on the listing details, there are no separate bills to pay, but you should verify if a refundable security deposit or a one-time cleaning fee applies at check-in or check-out.
Can I move in with a friend and share a studio?
The residence offers studios, which are single-occupancy units. If you and a friend want to live together, you would need to book two separate studios. There is no information indicating that double-occupancy is allowed or that larger apartment types are available. Contact the operator directly to ask about occupancy rules if you are considering sharing a studio.
Is the property safe and quiet for studying?
The reviews do not mention safety or noise concerns. Friedrichshain is a generally safe, lively district. The building likely has a reception or security presence, as one reviewer mentioned helpful receptionists. For quiet study, a private studio gives you control over your environment. If you are sensitive to street noise, ask the operator whether units facing the main street (Frankfurter Allee / Karl-Marx-Allee) have double-glazed windows, or request a courtyard-facing room.
