Overview and Location
HAB 10779 is a student residence in Berlin, Germany. The exact address is listed only as “Germany,” but its coordinates place it in a central area of the city. The property has a Google rating of 4.7 out of 5 based on 159 reviews, indicating generally positive feedback from past and current residents.
The residence is within reach of Berlin’s main universities. Public transport connections are typical for a major European capital, so commuting times to campuses are manageable. The neighbourhood itself is not described in detail, but given the city’s infrastructure, amenities such as supermarkets, cafés, and parks are likely nearby.
The property is available from 4 September 2026. Note that this date is indicative and should be confirmed with the operator.
Who This Residence Suits
HAB 10779 works well for students who value new, comfortable spaces and a social atmosphere. Reviews highlight that the rooms and common areas are modern and well-equipped, which can make a difference when comparing older shared flats or dormitories in Berlin.
If you are looking for a place where the staff are attentive and organise events, this residence fits. One resident, Kristina Shoshi, wrote: “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.” That kind of consistent support is especially valuable for international students who may not speak fluent German.
The property includes WiFi and bills in the rent. If you prefer an all-inclusive setup where you do not have to arrange separate utility contracts, this is a convenient option. The deposit is listed as €150 — a relatively low amount compared to many Berlin rentals, which often ask for two or three months’ rent as deposit.
Students who are sociable will also appreciate the organised social events mentioned by another reviewer, Ahmad Khasawneh: “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.”
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
Not every aspect of HAB 10779 receives full marks. A critical review from Rosalyn “Rosa” McGee points to a recurring maintenance issue: “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.” If you live on a high floor and rely on elevators daily, this could be a genuine frustration. The review is dated and may not reflect the current state, but it suggests that lift reliability has been a problem at times.
Students who prefer complete independence or who want a completely silent environment might find the social events and communal atmosphere intrusive. The residence appears designed for connection, so if you prefer to keep to yourself, a private apartment or a quieter shared flat might be more suitable.
Also, because the property does not list specific room types or minimum lease terms, you will need to contact the operator to confirm whether the layout matches your preferences. If you require a specific configuration (e.g., a private studio vs. a shared room), this uncertainty could be a drawback.
What Residents Say
Here are the three Google reviews left by residents, quoted verbatim:
- Rosalyn “Rosa” McGee (rating 1/5): “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 5/5): “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”
- Ahmad Khasawneh (rating 5/5): “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.”
The contrast between the 1-star and 5-star reviews highlights that experiences can vary. The positive comments consistently praise staff and facilities; the negative one targets elevator reliability. As of the data date, the Google aggregate rating is 4.7 — very high — suggesting that lift problems may be intermittent or have been addressed.
Price and Value Considerations
The monthly rent for HAB 10779 is not published in the available data. For context, the lowest monthly rent among the 97 student housing options listed in Berlin is €440 (indicative — confirm with the operator). Because HAB 10779 includes WiFi and utilities in the rent, its price may be at or above that baseline. The deposit of €150 is notably lower than the standard one-month or three-month deposit required by many private landlords in Berlin.
Without a specific price, you should contact the operator to obtain a current quote. When comparing, factor in the all-inclusive nature of the rent. Berlin rental apartments often charge extra for heating, electricity, water, and internet, so a higher monthly figure that covers everything could be comparable to or cheaper than a “cheaper” rent plus separate bills.
Given the high satisfaction rating and the modern spaces described, the value proposition is likely positive for students who prioritise convenience and community.
Room Types and Booking Timing
The data does not list specific unit types (e.g., ensuite, shared apartment, studio). That means you will need to ask the operator what configuration is currently available. Given the building’s name (“HAB 10779”) and typical Berlin student residences, options may include single rooms in shared flats or cluster apartments with private bedrooms and shared kitchens/bathrooms.
The earliest move-in date is 4 September 2026. If you are starting university in the winter semester (October 2026), that timing aligns well. For summer semester start (April 2027) you would need to check if the property has different availability.
Because Berlin student housing is in high demand, planning ahead is wise. The 97 available properties in the city suggest a competitive market. If you are interested, reaching out to the operator several months in advance is recommended. There is no indication of a minimum lease term, so ask about the contract duration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the rent?
The property’s tags list “wifi” and “bills_included”. That means your monthly rent covers internet access and utility costs such as electricity, heating, and water. There are no separate bills to manage. Always confirm the exact scope (e.g., does “bills” include a cap on usage?) directly with the operator.
How do I secure a room?
The deposit is €150 — a relatively low amount. The operator typically requires this payment to reserve your place. You will need to provide identification and possibly proof of enrolment. The exact process varies, so check with the operator for their specific booking procedure and cancellation policy.
When should I apply?
Since availability starts from 4 September 2026, applying a few months before that date (e.g., in the spring or early summer of 2026) is a prudent approach. Berlin’s student accommodation market can fill quickly, especially for properties with good ratings. If you need accommodation for the winter semester 2026/27, do not delay.
