Overview and Location
HAB 10555 is a student residence located in Berlin, Germany. The property sits at coordinates 52.52°N, 13.34°E — roughly in the Charlottenburg/Wilmersdorf area, close to the city centre. This makes it accessible to several major universities: Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and Technische Universität Berlin. The residence is fully furnished and offers WiFi and on-site laundry facilities. On Google, it holds a 4.7 rating based on 159 reviews, indicating generally positive feedback from past and current residents.
Who This Residence Suits
HAB 10555 works well for students who value a comfortable, modern living space with a social atmosphere. Multiple 5‑star reviews highlight the quality of the interior. Kristina Shoshi, who lived there throughout her university years, described the spaces as “new and really comfortable” and said the place has been “a great home”. She added that, compared with other options in Berlin, this residence is “a nice opportunity”. For students who want a move‑in‑ready unit with furniture already in place, the “fully furnished” tag means you won’t need to buy your own bed, desk, or kitchen essentials.
The residence also appeals to those who enjoy community events. Ahmad Khasawneh noted that the staff “organize enjoyable social events that provide an opportunity to meet other residents”. If you are new to Berlin and want to quickly build a social circle, this kind of programming can be a real help. The same review praised the staff as “incredibly friendly and helpful” and said the location is “excellent”. For students who prioritise a responsive management team and a welcoming environment, these comments suggest HAB 10555 delivers.
Another group that may find this residence suitable are students who are not bothered by occasional elevator downtime. While one review raises a concern (discussed below), the majority of reviewers gave 5 stars and did not mention elevators as a significant problem. The high overall rating (4.7) implies that most residents have had a positive experience overall.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
The most notable drawback appears to be elevator reliability. Rosalyn “Rosa” McGee left a 1‑star review, stating: “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” (the review ends mid‑sentence, but the complaint is clear). If you are assigned a high floor – especially above the 5th or 6th – and you rely on lifts for daily tasks like carrying shopping or laundry, this could be a serious inconvenience. Students with mobility issues or those who simply do not want to regularly climb stairs should verify the current state of the elevators before committing.
The price of HAB 10555 is not listed in the available data, which may frustrate students who need a clear monthly budget. While we can compare it to the city‑wide starting price (see “Price Positioning” below), the absence of a published rate means you will have to contact the operator to get an exact figure. Budget‑conscious students who prefer upfront pricing might find this uncertainty less appealing.
Additionally, the minimum lease length is not available from the data. If you need a short‑term stay (e.g., one semester or a few months), you will need to confirm whether flexible leases are offered. Students who need a fully predictable lease term may want to look at residences that display this information openly.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews are provided. Here they are verbatim:
-
Rosalyn “Rosa” McGee (1 star):
“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”
Key takeaway: Elevator issues are a major pain point for high‑floor residents. The experience disrupted daily life. -
Kristina Shoshi (5 stars):
“I’ve been living here throughout my uni years and I have to say that this place has been a great home. The spaces are new and really comfortable, when compared to other options in Berlin it’s a nice opportunity. The staff is amazing, they’re always considerate and friendly, I’ve never had any issues with anyone. There”
Key takeaway: Long‑term resident endorses the comfort, condition, and staff. She considers it a strong option in Berlin. -
Ahmad Khasawneh (5 stars):
“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.”
Key takeaway: Highlights the social programming, helpful staff, and good location.
Note: The sample size is small (three reviews), but the split reflects a real trade‑off: most residents are very satisfied, but elevator reliability is a specific failure that can seriously affect certain residents.
Price Positioning vs. City From‑Price
Across all 97 student housing properties in Berlin listed on the platform, the city’s from‑price (lowest listed monthly rent) is €440 per month. This is an indicative figure — confirm with each operator.
HAB 10555 does not show a minimum or maximum price in the data. Therefore, its exact positioning relative to the €440 baseline is unknown. However, given the residence’s “fully furnished” status and the generally positive reviews, it may fall above the city’s entry‑level price. In the absence of a published rate, your best step is to contact the operator directly. As a ballpark, many similar middle‑market student accommodations in Berlin range from €500 to €800 per month — but this is a general estimate, not a guarantee for this property. Always ask for a current quote.
Room Type Guidance
The available data does not list specific unit types (e.g., studio, ensuite, shared apartment). The tags “wifi”, “laundry facility”, and “fully furnished” indicate that all rooms come with internet connection, building‑level laundry, and basic furniture. From the review by Kristina Shoshi (“the spaces are new and really comfortable”), it appears the rooms are in good condition.
Because no floor plans or bed counts are provided, prospective residents should inquire directly about:
- Whether rooms are private (single occupancy) or shared
- Bathroom and kitchen arrangements (private vs. shared)
- Available sizes (e.g., square metres, single vs. double beds)
If you have a strong preference for a private studio or an ensuite room, ask the operator to clarify before applying.
Booking Timing
The earliest available move‑in date listed is 13 April 2026. Since Berlin is a high‑demand student city (with three major universities and dozens of properties), availability can fill quickly — especially for the summer semester start in April. If you are beginning your studies in the 2026 summer term, you should start your search as early as possible, ideally several months before April. The min‑lease duration is not provided, so you will need to confirm how many months you are committing to. Students planning a shorter stay (e.g., one semester or a summer exchange) should check if flexible options exist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does HAB 10555 provide WiFi and laundry facilities?
Yes. The property tags include “wifi” and “laundry_facility”, so internet access and on‑site washing/drying machines are available. You should confirm any additional fees for these services with the operator.
Are the elevators at HAB 10555 reliable?
Based on one resident’s review, there has been a recurring problem with both elevators breaking down, sometimes for a full week. The same reviewer noted that at least one elevator was often out of order. Other reviews (5‑star) do not mention elevators at all, so the issue may be intermittent or may have been addressed after the review was posted. However, if you are assigned a high floor, it is wise to ask the operator about recent elevator maintenance and current functionality before signing a lease.
What is the earliest move‑in date?
The earliest available date recorded is 13 April 2026. This may shift depending on actual vacancies. If you need to move in earlier or later, contact the operator to ask about other start dates.
