I had stayed here a few years ago with a group and found it good. Since then, at least some rooms have been updated.

The hotel rooms are large and nicely appointed. Good size tv with many channels, including BBC. Multi wi-if routers make connection easy, at least on lower floors (some in our group complained about wi-fi access on the 3rd floor)

Pension rooms share a bathroom, but are good value for the money.

Breakfast is basis but decent.

Nicely updated

Let me start by saying that if someone wants to have a Hotel the basic 1 should be they like people. The accomodation is like a Hostel but with single, double or triple room to book. The rooms are ok bit cold, bed are confortable. There Is only one toilet in the entire floor!! You have a mirror and a place to wash your hands un your room! 
No one is in reception many Times. The owner Anna Wolf lives in the building Bit every time someone Rings the Bell it sounds in the entire first floor. She has a "safety place" to save the Key If you left it in Reception and this does Not work. When you call, she is Not there. If it is in the Restaurant near by, she is super rude, react angry when you ask for Help. 
Even I heard her saying to other woman when she wants to Check in "Ow you speak german, because I am tired of all this foreign"
What???? 
Breakfast is ok, not for vegan
Price of a double room ~340 Euros with Breakfast

Only for sleeping

There are many reasons why one might select a particular hotel.  These might include the liesure facilities, the gardens with which it is surrounded, its location 'away from it all', and so on.  None of these figured in my choice: it was within walking distance of where I needed to be, and it was cheap.  On my own, away for business, busy all day and in the evening, I just needed somewhere cheap to sleep, shower, and shave.  Against these criteria alone, the Hotel Pension Dahlem was a good choice.
Unfortunately, it pretty much stopped there.  There was no tea/coffee-making equipment - but this is Germany, so it is not expected.  There was no bar - in fact nothing except breakfast served 7.00 to 9.30, I think.  "Cooked" if you wanted boiled eggs, otherwise DIY and cold.  Take English Breakfast tea bags if that it your preference, and learn to like full cream milk in your tea: be grateful for small mercies!
Based on Room 204, which is all that I saw, some of the shortcomings of this hotel are more difficult to forgive.  Like the curtains being too small for the window, allowing light in either side (see photo).  Like the soap being far enough outside the shower enclosure to make using it impracticable!  And there only being one mirror, the one above the sink.  And the towels being threadbare.
Nobody made up the bed whilst I was our during the day.  In fact I could believe that apart from the guests, nobody entered the room at all, ever - certailny not to dust away the cobwebs, or wash the once-white net curtains that are now yellow , even orange in some places.  Arguably they matched the bright yellow wallpaper that I think was almost popular in about 1981.
The heating did work, which was good, as it was rather cold outside, but it was straight out of the 1950's.  The furniture was tired, but functional - all except the lamp on the table which did not switch off, so I unplugged it.  Any why did my clothes start to smell like I had hung them in a chip shop when I had put them in the wardrobe?  One of life's great mysteries.
I would not describe this hotel as "Terrible", as I have stayed in worse, but at the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

At the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

I am staying here as part of a school trip and this is one of the biggest dumps I have ever stayed at. Everything about this hotel is outdated, and not in a nice antique type of way... the carpet is worn and stained, the furniture is old and broken, the doors stick, and I have ants crawling around in my room. I really hope this trip gets better.

This place is an overpriced dump

Probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Stuffy rooms, tacky decor... But I would have been prepared to put up with all of that, had it not been for the most unwelcoming and inhospitable service I've ever come across.
On the second day of my stay I was told that the lady in charge of it all had made a mistake and given me the wrong room. So I had to move all my stuff to another room, or pay extra. When I pointed out that this was quite an inconvenience considering it was her mistake, she started shouting at me telling me it was my responsibility and I should have realised myself that it wasn't the right room (because it had an en suite shower, and my original booking didn't), and it was my fault for not alerting her to it. It's not what you need after a long and tiring day at a conference!
