HOUSE GUIDE CoLiving

WELCOME

to CREON CoSpace!

To help you settle in smoothly and start your stay at CREON CoSpace with ease, we’ve put together this House Guide containing all the key information you’ll need. Think of it as a short manual that shows you what to expect and how to use your room and our shared facilities.

We’re delighted to have you with us and wish you a pleasant and successful stay in Berlin!

2. Communication

To keep you informed about important updates (maintenance work, community events, etc.), we regularly send out newsletters, post notices, and update the Community Board located in the main area near the reception. Please make sure to check these announcements regularly.

3. Access System

You can access the building and your residential wing using the transponder you received upon check-in. Your room can be opened with one of the three large hard keys.

Please note that we do not have a master key. You are welcome to leave one of your spare keys safely with us at the reception.

For security reasons, the transponder must be updated at least every 7 days at the reader located at the main entrance or garage gate. Otherwise, it will lose its validity and stop working for interior doors. The update occurs automatically when you hold the transponder to one of these readers.

If your transponder stops working, don’t worry — simply hold it again to the reader at the main entrance to reactivate it.

If you need assistance, just reach out to us.

4. Ventilation / Heating

For a pleasant and healthy indoor environment, please air out your room twice daily for about five minutes throughout the year.
During the heating period, we kindly ask you — for energy efficiency reasons — to keep the radiator on level 2, even when leaving the room.

5. Door Communication System (Bell & Intercom)

During your stay, you have the option to use the digital door communication system. When connected to your mobile device via the app, you’ll receive a notification when someone rings your bell. You can view the entrance camera, speak to the visitor, and open the door remotely.

If you’d like to use this system, please contact our service team after check-in. We’ll send you the setup instructions and a unique activation code (valid for 24 hours).

6. WI-FI & Internet

You’ll receive the access data for your personal VLAN in the “CREON CoSpace” network with your handover protocol or from your organization’s contact person.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire property without restriction.

7. Security Cameras

For the safety of all residents, guests, and shared facilities such as the CoLounge and garden, all communal areas are equipped with active security cameras. If you notice anything unusual, please feel free to contact us.

8. Cleaning of Common Areas and Waste Disposal

All shared areas (bathrooms, kitchens, and corridors) are cleaned once a week by our cleaning team — this service is free of charge. However, we kindly ask you to keep the rooms tidy and clean, especially after use. Please note that we do not provide cleaning supplies (e.g. dish soap, dishwasher tabs, rinse aid, etc.).

Please also make sure to empty your waste bins regularly — don’t wait until the cleaning team arrives.
All waste containers (for paper, plastic, residual waste, organic waste, and glass) are located in the service yard.
In the communal kitchen, you’ll find an overview explaining proper waste separation.
To reach the service yard, exit the main entrance and turn right.

If anything in your room or the shared areas is damaged or not functioning properly, please inform us immediately — this helps us ensure quick and efficient repairs.

We’re always happy to help with any questions.

9. Access to the Residential Wing

If maintenance work or other activities require access to your residential wing or room, we’ll inform you in advance via email, newsletter, or notices posted in the building.

Please note that in emergency or urgent technical situations, it may exceptionally be necessary for us to enter the area without prior notice.
Apart from such cases, we will of course only enter after prior agreement with you.

10. Vacuum Cleaner Rental

You can borrow a vacuum cleaner free of charge from reception during opening hours. Please return it promptly after use so that other residents can borrow it as well.

11. Mail & Parcel Box

Letters are sorted directly into your mailbox located in the main area on the ground floor. Please make sure that your name, address, and room number appear correctly on all incoming mail.

We’re happy to accept parcels for you during reception hours and store them for pickup. To stay independent of our opening hours, you can also use our free parcel box located next to the mailboxes. To register, please send us an email with your email address and mobile number.

12. Laundry Room

Our in-house laundry room is equipped with professional washing machines and dryers. To use them, download the free “appWash” by Miele app (available for iOS and Android). Within the app, you can see the current usage prices, create an account, and add balance. Any remaining credit will be refunded when your tenancy ends. Drying racks are also available in the laundry room.

13. Communal Areas

The CoLounge is open to all residents Monday to Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. for studying or relaxing. You can access the garden through the gate located to the right of the main entrance.

14. Smoke Detectors & Fire Safety

All apartments and communal areas are equipped with smoke detectors. Therefore, smoking and open flames (e.g. candles) are strictly prohibited throughout CREON. Please also use the pantry and shared kitchens carefully and attentively when cooking, frying, or baking.

Smoke detectors in residential areas are not connected to the building’s fire alarm system. If a fire or smoke occurs in these areas, please manually activate the house alarm and call the fire department (112).

Make sure to familiarize yourself with the nearest alarm button, emergency exits, and fire extinguishers.

15. Bicycle Parking

Free bicycle parking spaces are available in front of the building and in the underground garage. If you’d like to use one of the locked bicycle rooms in the garage, please send us a photo of your bike and your transponder number so we can program access for you.

Car parking spaces in the underground garage and outdoor area are also available for rent — please contact us if you’re interested!

An amazing Experience!

I was living at Creon for 10 Months during my practical Semester and my Bachelor thesis. If you are in Berlin temporarily I don't believe there is a better place for you to stay where you can meet kind roomates and interesting people from all over the world. The Area is great for jogging (Victoria Park, Tempelhofer Feld) and close to Mehringdamm, wich serves as kin of a downtown area with a lot of good food and Bars.

I lived with seven other people in my wing. We had two stoves and four bathrooms. Each bathroom was shared with one other person. It might first seem like a lot but it really isn't, because the shared spaces get cleaned very professionally once a week! I was lucky to be in a very social wing where we cooked, talked, went out and played games together to the point where it felt like an extended family. There never was any pressure to participate but it was always open and accepting and that's one of the things that made the experience the most amazing so far.

As my former roomates Duarte and Bernd (great people btw. :)) described in their review I agree, if you go to the monthly pizzapartys and are open towards others you will have no trouble finding people you can hang out and spend time (e.g. bouldering or going to latin/salsa events) with and if not than that's fine too and no one will bother you for it.

Last but not least the staff is doing an amazing job of taking care of the building and the people, creating a feel good Atmosphere. If you're heading home for an extended period of time they even take care of your room, (if you want them to) e.g. watering plants and ventilating. If there is an issue it, usually gets fixed the next day.

The cleaning staff deserves a special praise! It is the friendliest, most diligent staff and works persistent to keep the building an the community spaces clean.

I can only repeat myself it has been an amazing experience and I couldn't be happier to have chosen Creon for my stay.

Very beautiful and professionally designed place to work. 25 eur per a day, about 100 eur per month

Lived at Creon almost a year and couldn't be more grateful for my experience! The facilities are excellent (and shockingly clean, seriously), the location is perfect (I feel in love with Viktoriapark, which is right across the street), and the staff are warm, helpful, and truly care about us. The community at Creon is extremely special, and, more, I credit it for much of the wonderful experience I had living in Berlin. Thank you all!

I've been a dedicated member of CREON for the past year. The space offers a great combination of services, infrastructure, and a welcoming community.

The coworking space is well-appointed with modern amenities and a comfortable atmosphere. The staff is incredibly helpful and always available to assist with any questions or needs. I've found their friendly demeanor and professionalism to be invaluable.

One of the most significant benefits of being a member has been the opportunity to connect with other professionals. I've made some great contacts while working on my studies and side job. The diverse community has enriched my experience and provided valuable knowledge exchanges.

As a fixed desk member, I've appreciated the flexibility to access the space at any time. This has been particularly helpful for achieving demanding student projects in a calm and productive environment.

I highly recommend CREON CoSpace to anyone seeking a professional workspace.

Cool cowork space. Stylish and modern. Very friendly staff at reception. A good alternative for expensive Berlin.
Everything you need for daily life is within walking distance.
The beautiful Viktoriapark is located directly above the Creon. From there you have a great view of Berlin…

Regarding a photographic project, I was able to rent one of the studios in the exciting building with great infrastructure and concept in order to realize it. The contact via email and phone calls was very pleasant, as was the reception when we met in person.
I was also helped quickly and easily when I spontaneously re-planned my project, so that I was able to successfully implement my schedule.

A special thank you to Ms. Kilic for the great support.

I did one year of master studies in Berlin and I have to thank Creon for taking a big role in my amazing experience.
I had a room for myself, shared kitchen by 8 and bathroom for two (including myself). My co-living group was incredible, very cooperative, flexible, outgoing and they really made an effort to create a home and share environment.

Price/Quality:
In my opinion this is their best quality as you will see in my below review. I compared to my friends that were studying or start working and all of them complimented Creon facilities given the price. From what I saw in my social circle I would say Creon was the best one.

Cleaning:
Amazing, 5 stars really. You have weekly cleaning in the common areas. I have no complaints on the cleaning service. The cleaning creon member was super sweet and a 5 stars job. Outside the wing, all facilities are in a very good state, even in the winter with the wet shoes and umbrellas.

Location:
In my view one of the best in the city. You have 2 subway stations nearby and a nice bus network. Viktoria park became my favourite spot in Berlin, good for runs, walks, sunsets, gathering with friends…
Tempelhofer Feld perfect for cycling, running, bbq…
Bergmannstrasse with a lot of good restaurants and nice environment.
You are central enough in Berlin and outside the business of the central city.

Staff:
Overall very good! Reception staff looked forward to improve themselves and listen to you. They were attentive and caring. Cleaning staff was outstanding and Maintenance staff was effective!

Room:
Given in a perfect state and clean. Spacious and with room for storage. Cosy design and good lighting.
Be very careful in the way you take care of your room, specially the walls. The handover protocol is quite restrictive in the state you return your room. My experience was good but I heard of people with a less good experience. I would say that if you are careful you won’t raise any problems. In the end, I enjoyed the state my room was given in.

Kitchen:
Suited for 3 people cooking at the same time although I barely had time collisions when cooking. Being able to cook side by side with a flatmate made it fun! Two stoves and two ovens is awesome!
Many tenants leave things behind so when moving in take that into account. Some flatmates of mine barely bought stuff.

People:
You have half people from 19-25 and half 25-35 I would say. A big chunk of my friend’s group was from Creon! Go to the monthly pizza dinner and be outgoing in the common areas and you will manage to find nice friendships there!

Winter:
Heating system and window termal isolation in the room is very good! Good shower and warm building overall.

Bicycle and Garden:
Having a bike park is awesome. You enter directly the building and is a way to keep your bike in a better shape in the winter.
I really enjoyed being with friends in the garden or doing some ioga there. They have a pingpong table which is a nice icebreaker when you are getting to know people. I would just add two pull-up bars in one of the corners of the garden ;).

Lounge Room:
You have access to a big lounge room where you can work or host a small gathering. In the winter when is harder to study in a libary it is a nice place to change your surroundings.

Getting a contract:
Fast answers, fast contact, simple protocol!

Language:
Language was never a barrier. All communications are made in German and English. Staff members have a good English. One of those small details that makes you more comfortable in the place you live.

Laundry:
Barely had collisions with washing machines. Good price for what Berlin has to offer. Good quality machines!

Overall I had a really good experience and I barely have complains. I have to say that my experience was quite determined by my flatmates and the environment in my wing. I had 13 roommates in my stay and things went smooth, if you put active effort in your relations you avoid many problems.

Thank you to all members of creon for making my experience in Berlin a memorable one. I highly recommend creon.

I lived here for approximately a year and the place was amazing. The room has everything you need, everything in the kitchen works perfect and the bathroom is also nice. The weekly cleaning is super. If anything doesn’t work or there is just something that concerns you, you can always go to the reception and they make sure that it is fixed as soon as possible. The only downside is that you have to pay a small amount for the washing machines. So in short, the wing and staff are amazing and I would advise anyone who wants to live in Berlin to live in creon.

I am extremely thankful to Creon CoSpace for letting me stay there!
I moved to Berlin from Russia and had no chance to find anything: no bank account in any EU bank, no prove of salary - just job contract. But I got lucky to contact Creon and despite my circumstances they welcomed me.
I lived 6 months in a room and 7 months in one of the apartments.
Rooms and apartment were freshly renovated. Common areas were very good cleaned by a cleaning team.
Receptionists were always very helpful. I really enjoyed my stay there. Thank you!!!

Modern and pleasant place to live. The staff members at Creon are nice and professional. I wanted to stay long term but it has to remain a dynamic place therefore I see why they limit the duration of the rentals. I very much enjoyed the months I spent there, in my room with view, in the smartly designed common areas and in the co-working hall.

I couldn’t recommend this Facilities high enough. I used the CoLiving Room on the 4th Floor and it was just great.
The Room is modern and functional. The Kitchen and Bath, wich I shared with my Floormades where also new, clean and functional.
But the best about my time there was the Staff. They where always so kind and friendly. And if I had a topic or something that had to be fixed, it was solved within a day.
They really made this a second home for me.
