Toured Berlin area with Leger and stayed at this hotel. Unattractive but serviceable hotel too far from the sights. Clean rooms but stultifyingly hot. Can't open windows and turned heating off and put air con on full time. Still far too hot and couldn't wait to get out into the cold wind and snow! The food is really dire. Same... more

As mentioned before, rooms are very hot and noisy due to trafic on the front or loading/ unloading wagons round the back at 5am. Evening staff were mostly pleasant but morning staff seemed to get out of bed on the wrong side most mornings! Again as said before location isnt exactly the best either unless you like a bit of... more

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights as part of a large tour group. It is very far from the city, and you need to change trains to get into Berlin itself. It was a 30 minute drive by bus from the city to the hotel, so expect to take a lot of public transport. The hotel itself is... more

We stayed at this hotel for two nights as part of an Archer's tour of Eastern European Cities. On arriving at the hotel it was obvious that it had been converted from a block of flats but was not necessarily unattractive. The rooms were adequately decorated, the only problem being that it was 35 degrees outside and there was no... more

You will definitely feel that you are in East Germany when you venture to this property. It is so far from anything that it detracts from any positives the property may have. It took a 5 minute cab ride (6 Euros) just to get to the Metro/S-Bahn. On top of that it takes a good 30 minutes by Metro to... more

I disagree with the previous writers. Rooms were clean and comfortable, well up to standard, at least they had two chairs to sit on. Food was excellent although it was a buffet service, this being constantly replenished. Waiter staff was also excellent with dishes being constantly cleared away. The only draw back I could see was it's distance from the... more

I stayed at the Globus with a coach tour. It was obviously a converted East German apartment block but the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the restaurant and bar were fine. But it is definitely not suitable for the independent traveller as it seemed a long way from the centre of the city, in the middle of a residential/industrial... more

I had the misfortune to room here during the World Cup, as all city centre hotels had been booked out, and we had to pay 275 Euros a night to stay here. It is a about 5 kilometres from the Mitte of Berlin, but is located in the middle of a former Eastern Bloc housing estate and industrial area. The... more

I had the professional misfortune to stay at this hotel three times in 2002 while working as a driver guide for a british touring holiday company. The rooms are fine, if a little unexciting. The bar is okay but as you would expect, quite expensive. For those guests who wish to use Berlins extensive U & S Bahn network, you... more
