Overview of HAB 10119
HAB 10119 is a student accommodation in Berlin that offers studio apartments and branded independent house units. The property is located in the central area of the city, with good access to public transport connections serving Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and Technische Universität Berlin. The building provides shared amenities such as internet, vacuum cleaner, and bills are included in the rent. A security deposit of EUR 150 is required upon booking. The minimum lease term is 4 months, making it suitable for both semester-long stays and full academic years.
With a Google rating of 4.7 out of 5.0 from 159 reviews, the residence has maintained a strong overall satisfaction level. However, the feedback includes both praise and criticism, which potential residents should weigh carefully. This article examines who the accommodation best fits, who should look elsewhere, what residents actually say, how the price compares to the Berlin market, and when to book.
Who is this residence suited for?
HAB 10119 is a strong option for students who value a social living environment with organised community events. Several reviewers mention that the staff arranges social activities that help residents meet each other. For international students arriving in Berlin and looking to build a local network, this can be a significant advantage.
The property is also suitable for those who prefer an all-inclusive arrangement. Bills are covered in the monthly rent, which simplifies budgeting — no separate electricity, water, or internet accounts to set up. The inclusion of internet and vacuum cleaner (likely a shared appliance) adds convenience.
Residents who prioritise modern, well-equipped spaces will find the accommodation appealing. One review describes the rooms as “new and really comfortable” and notes that the facilities are “fully equipped.” Studio apartments offer private living, which appeals to students who want their own kitchen and bathroom without sharing.
The flexible minimum lease of 4 months works well for exchange students or those on shorter programmes. Many Berlin student accommodations require 6 or 12 months, so the shorter commitment here is an advantage.
Finally, the property supports a range of academic institutions in Berlin. Depending on the exact address, the residence is located in a central district with tram, U-Bahn, and bus connections to all three major universities. Students at any of these universities can reasonably consider this option.
Who might want to consider other options?
A significant concern raised in reviews is the reliability of the elevators. One resident living on the 7th floor reported that both elevators were broken for almost a full week, with one elevator frequently out of order. The reviewer described carrying water, groceries, and laundry up seven flights as a serious difficulty. This situation could be an ongoing issue, not a one-time event. Anyone with mobility limitations, or who does not want to risk carrying heavy items up multiple floors, should be cautious. Students assigned to upper floors should confirm the current elevator status before signing a lease.
The price range for HAB 10119 is not publicly listed in the data. The Berlin student housing market has an average starting price of around EUR 440 per month for basic rooms, but studios and branded independent houses typically cost significantly more — often EUR 700–1,100 per month. Without a confirmed price from the operator, students on tight budgets may find cheaper options elsewhere, especially shared flats (WG) or older purpose-built residences. If the rent for this property exceeds EUR 900, it may be overpriced compared to comparable studios in the same neighbourhood.
Additionally, the address listed only as “Germany” — not a full street address — makes it difficult to judge the exact location. Although the coordinates (52.53° N, 13.41° E) place it roughly in Berlin’s central district (Mitte or Prenzlauer Berg area), the lack of a precise address may be a red flag for some. Ensure the operator provides the full address before making any commitment.
Resident experiences
HAB 10119 has received largely positive reviews, with a handful of critical comments that highlight specific maintenance issues. Below are three reviews from Google, quoted verbatim:
Rosalyn “Rosa” Mcgee (Rating: 1)
“Both elevators have been broken for almost a full week (one was broken way before) and there is almost always one broken elevator. living on the 7th floor, i cannot carry water, groceries, laundry and more up. especially when coming home after a long day at the university, you expect me to be able to walk up 7 floors a”
Kristina Shoshi (Rating: 5)
“I’ve been living here throughout my uni years and I have to say that this place has been a great home.

Ahmad Khasawneh (Rating: 5)
“The staff at this accommodation is incredibly friendly and helpful. They organize enjoyable social events that provide an opportunity to meet other residents. The location of the accommodation is also excellent, and the facilities are fully equipped. Overall, it is a great place to stay.”
Summary of feedback:
- Positive: Friendly and helpful staff, social events, comfortable new spaces, good location, fully equipped facilities.
- Negative: Frequent elevator breakdowns, causing serious difficulty for residents on high floors. The one-star review also expresses frustration about having to carry heavy items up stairs after a long university day.
The overall rating of 4.7 suggests that most residents have a good experience. However, the elevator issue is recurring and deserves attention. If you intend to live on a floor above the 3rd, ask the operator about the elevator maintenance schedule and whether any permanent repairs are planned.
Pricing and room types
HAB 10119 offers studio apartments and branded independent house units. A studio typically includes a private bathroom, kitchenette, and living/sleeping area. The branded independent house units are likely self-contained flats within a larger managed building, possibly with some shared spaces.
The deposit is EUR 150 — relatively low compared to the German standard of 2–3 months’ rent (often EUR 1,000–2,000). This makes the property more accessible for students with limited upfront capital.
Regarding monthly rent: the data source does not provide a minimum or maximum price. Berlin’s general student accommodation market starts at approximately EUR 440 per month for a basic room in a shared flat. Studios and managed student properties typically range from EUR 600 to EUR 1,100 per month, depending on location, size, and inclusions. Given that HAB 10119 includes bills and is centrally located, the likely rent is in the upper half of that range. All prices mentioned are indicative — confirm with the operator.
The minimum lease is 4 months, longer than a short-term summer stay but shorter than typical annual contracts. This flexibility can be appealing for students on one-semester exchange programmes.
Booking timing and availability
Berlin is a competitive student housing market. The city has 97 student accommodation properties listed on the platform, with prices starting from around EUR 440. Many popular properties fill up months before the semester begins.
For an October 2026 winter semester start, booking should ideally begin in March–May 2026. For an April 2027 summer semester, booking in November 2026–January 2027 is advisable. The earlier you enquire, the better the chance of securing your preferred floor and unit type. Given the elevator risk, requesting a lower floor (1st–3rd) is recommended.
Since HAB 10119’s exact availability calendar is not shown in the data, you will need to contact the property operator directly or use the platform’s inquiry system to check current vacancies.
FAQ

The minimum lease term is 4 months. This makes the property suitable for one semester or short academic programmes. Longer stays are typically possible, and the maximum lease length is not specified — ask the operator for details.
Is the property close to universities?
The address is given only as “Germany,” but the coordinates point to central Berlin.

Freie Universität is located in Dahlem (southwest), Humboldt-Universität is in Mitte (city centre), and Technische Universität is in Charlottenburg (west).
