Location and neighbourhood context
Tannhaus Berlin Rix Neukölln sits at 12055 Berlin, Germany, in the lively and diverse borough of Neukölln. The address places you in the eastern part of the district, close to the border with Treptow-Köpenick. Public transport options are decent, with the S-Bahn station Neukölln roughly a 10-minute walk away and several bus lines connecting to central Berlin. Neukölln is known for its mix of multicultural markets, park spaces (like Tempelhofer Feld about 20 minutes on foot), and a large student population.
However, the immediate residential street is quiet but some neighbours report issues with waste management and building security, as reflected in the resident reviews below. The residence is a managed student housing project operated by Tannhaus, a private provider that runs multiple purpose-built student accommodations across Berlin.
Price positioning versus the city’s starting point
Rents at Tannhaus Berlin Rix Neukölln range from €995 to €1,860 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). These are monthly prices for whole units (1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and studios). By comparison, Berlin’s overall student housing market shows a city-wide from‑price of €440 per month for the cheapest shared or studio options. That means Tannhaus sits well above the entry-level market.
The premium reflects several included services: all bills (electricity, heating, water, internet) are covered in the rent, each unit comes with a smart TV and high-speed internet, and the contracts are flexible with a minimum lease of just one month. This makes the property more expensive than a typical shared flat (WG) or a basic studio on the private market, but comparable to other fully-managed student residences in central neighbourhoods.
For a 1-bedroom unit at €995 (the lower end), you are paying roughly 2.3 times the city’s cheapest option. A studio or larger 2-bedroom at €1,860 represents almost 4.2 times that floor. If you are on a tight budget, these prices likely exceed what most students would consider reasonable unless you value short-term flexibility and all-inclusive convenience.
Room-type guidance and suitability
The property offers three unit types: 1‑bedroom apartments, 2‑bedroom apartments, and studios. Studio apartments generally provide a private kitchen and bathroom in one open space, ideal for single occupants who want no shared facilities. 1‑bedroom units have a separate sleeping area, better for couples or those who work/study from home and need distinct rooms. 2‑bedroom units suit two housemates who want individual bedrooms but share a living area and kitchen.
Given the price structure, a studio or 1‑bedroom might be viable if you are willing to spend €1,000+ a month for privacy and a short lease. A 2‑bedroom could work well if you split the rent with a flatmate – at the upper end that would be about €930 per person, still high by Berlin standards but more manageable.
Tagged amenities include internet, smart TV, and bills included. No laundry or gym is mentioned, so check directly with the operator if those matter to you.
What residents actually say – three critical reviews
The residence carries a Google rating of 2.8 out of 5 from 28 reviews. While the sample is small, the three publicly visible reviews are uniformly negative. Here is what real residents and neighbours wrote (verbatim):
Emstedt (neighbour)
“I’m one of the neighbours and I wouldn’t want to live here. These people throw their trash on the street Infront of their house. It’s been there for weeks and no one is picking it up—neither people not facility management.”
Marzie Tarighi (tenant, 1 rating)
“We moved into a new unit at Tannhaus and found that the bed sheets had clearly not been changed. The stains in the photo are old blood stains. Management told us we only had 48 hours to report issues, but the apartment had so many cleanliness problems that checking the sheets was the last thing on our mind. This is a b”
carl nabil (tenant, 1 rating)
“NOT SAFE & UNPROFESSIONAL, I got my shoes stolen outside the door of the house, inside the building!!! When i called tannhaus to check the camera they refused and told me to call them at 10am because this is when the office is back working, The next day i call them at 10am an do their response was no we cant show you c”
These accounts point to three recurring concerns: cleanliness issues at check‑in (blood‑stained sheets), poor waste management and maintenance response from the building, and a perceived lack of security (theft inside the building) combined with unhelpful management. The third review also notes a 48‑hour reporting window, which might be too short for a thorough inspection of a new unit.
It is important to note that these are a handful of negative experiences; a full picture would require more data. However, the rating and the content of these reviews should give any prospective tenant pause. If you are someone who prioritises hygiene, responsive management, and building security, you may want to look elsewhere or visit the property in person before signing.
Who this residence suits / does not suit
Suitable for:
- Students or interns who need a short‑term contract (minimum 1 month) and are willing to pay a premium for an all‑inclusive, fully furnished unit with fast internet.
- People who prefer a private studio or separate bedroom without sharing a flat with unknown roommates.
- Those who are not overly sensitive to cleanliness or management concerns and can handle occasional issues by themselves.
Not suitable for:
- Budget‑conscious students – city‑wide options start at €440, and Tannhaus is much more expensive.
- Anyone who expects high cleanliness standards and responsive facility management, based on the negative reviews.
- People who place high importance on building security and CCTV access – at least one review reported refusal to share camera footage.
- Long‑term tenants who want a stable, well‑run building – the short lease suggests high turnover, which may contribute to inconsistent maintenance.
Booking timing and practical notes
The property is listed on Amber (the platform carrying this data) with no specific “available from” date in the dataset. Since the minimum lease is one month, you can book short stays at almost any time, but availability fluctuates. Given that Berlin student housing demand is highest from September to October (winter semester) and April to May (summer semester), you should start looking at least 2–3 months ahead if you want a specific unit type.
Because prices are indicative, always confirm the exact rent and any additional fees (like a cleaning fee or deposit, which is not listed here) directly with the operator before you commit. The 48‑hour inspection window mentioned in a review suggests you should plan a thorough check‑in immediately after moving in.
Frequently asked questions
How does the rent at Tannhaus compare to other student housing in Berlin?
The lowest‑priced units at Tannhaus start at €995 per month (indicative), while the city’s overall student housing from‑price is €440 per month. That makes Tannhaus more than double the cheapest options. However, the rent includes all bills, internet, and smart TV, which can add €100–150 to a typical room rent if paid separately. Even after accounting for that, Tannhaus sits in the upper‑mid range for managed residences in central Berlin.
Are the negative reviews representative of the whole property?
The property has only 28 Google reviews and a rating of 2.8. Three reviews are shown publicly, all giving 1 star and citing serious issues. This is a small sample, but the consistency of concerns about cleanliness, management, and security should be taken seriously. It is advisable to visit the building in person or ask the operator for a recent tenant reference before booking.
What is the best way to secure a unit if I still want to book here?
Given the low rating and negative feedback, you should first try to view the exact unit and inspect the cleanliness yourself. If you proceed, book well ahead (at least 3 months for semester start periods) because short‑lease properties fill up quickly. Confirm all terms in writing, especially the inspection window and what happens if you report a defect after 48 hours.
