When you enter this place, you immediately know you're in one of the most elegant addresses in Berlin. Service at reception was excellent, and I was given a tour of the facilities after I unpacked. I kept being told that I was the "prince of the castle", and they really made me feel it.

The interiors are just breathtaking, which explains why there was a movie crew filming when I arrived. They were in and out without much fuss though, and I was able to view the truly stunning rooms they filmed in. I also understand how Karl Lagerfeld probably did not want the furniture to compete with the rooms. Great contrast of clean lines with grand details. The nice thing is that it's so grand and yet so intimate. You can really stay in any of the grand living rooms reading a book, and not feel strange, the way you would doing that in the lobby of a very large hotel.

Everything in the hotel is understated elegance. The room is decorated very well, with high tech amenities. Free mini-bar, free WiFi and Bulgari toiletries.

Breakfast service was superb, and dinner at the fine dining restaurant was fantastic. The indoor pool downstairs was beautiful, and befitting of a hotel of this grandeur. The fitness room was a little small though - most likely an afterthought for newer guests.

There is also a large garden with lounge chairs. My most memorable time at the hotel was spent lounging in the garden with tea and cake, enjoying the fresh air.

The hotel is a bit off the beaten path, and would probably be fine for people with cars or who are fine with taxis the whole time. It's a great part of Berlin to see, as there's nothing touristy about it. There are bikes that you can use for free to explore the really posh neighborhood.

Service here is about as personalized as it gets, and you're made to feel like royalty. My package also included a 60-minute massage from one of Germany's most renowned therapists.

Fantastic hotel in every way. Stay here if you want nothing but the best.

On our first trip away without the children we were looking for peace and quiet and impeccable service. We got this and more from our fantastic stay at the Scholsshotel. The hotel is in a beautiful suburb of Berlin, but is well connected via the S-train (Grunewald station) and there is also a bus stop very close to the hotel. A taxi ride to central Berlin took about 20mins and cost about 15 Euros. On arrival we were met by the most charming host (Luven) - many apologies if I spelt his name incorrectly! He told a little of the history of the place and showed us the very elegant public spaces including a very cosy bar which is well stocked with all manner of beverages including excellent Champagnes and Whiskies. The wood panelled bar is smoking, not a plus for us, but you can take drinks in any of the other drawing rooms adjacent to the bar. Our host also offered us a welcome drink (Champagne, of course!) which sat and enjoyed whilst our bags were whisked upstairs and we relaxed into our opulent surroundings. The hotel was seemed to be quiet during our stay (or maybe the other guests were very discreet!), and at some times, it felt like our own private house. We were staying on a spa package (excellent value) for 2 nights in a suite. The suite was spacious and nicely furnished, but I think that if you want one of the grander suites (like the Lagerfeld designed ones shown on the website), you would need to specifiy and book the higher room class. It had a separate sitting area and there was a kitchenette (no utensils or crockery, so not sure if this option is used much). We had 2 mini-bars, both of which were stocked (no wine/champagne) and included in the room rate. Minor niggles were no mirror above the dressing table in the bathroom, underpowered hairdryers and no little dishes (which I would have liked to put my jewellery on!). We were in a room at the back to the hotel and in the morning we did hear some noise from delivery trucks, but it was not too bad and not enough to want to make us move. But these were minor points and easily looked over as the service and facilities were excellent throughout the hotel. The "spa" element of our stay was a massage on day 1 and manicure or pedicure on day 2. Being fairly sporty and used to burly massage therapists in ski resorts, we were not expecting too much from our relaxation massages, but we were both very pleasantly surprised. The therapist managed to get the balance between effective massage and relaxation bang on and it was perhaps the best such massage I have had. The manicure the next day was just OK, but I am quite particular about manicures, so don't be deterred as the cuticle work was good and the hand massage lovely. The spa was small but well equipped - swimming pool was an adequate size to have a decent swim and had a jacuzzi to the side. Unfortunately the steam room was being maintained when we were there, but there was a Swedish sauna, cold plunge pools (are you joking!!?), massage shower and solarium. After a pleasant spa day, we had dinner on our second evening in the fine dining restaurant, Vivaldi. You can have a set menu, tasting experience or choose a la carte - the staff were very flexible and accomodating to my particular needs and I felt that anything I asked for would be no trouble which was refreshing. Had Champagne courtesy of the hotel as an aperatif and a great bottle of wine recommended by the sommelier. The wine list was interesting and had some great local wines to choose from as well as the more recognisable old and new world classics. Overall, we had a wondeful stay at the hotel and would definitely return. We have stayed in some amazing hotels around the world including a few Small Luxury Hotels (which this is one) and I remember it favourably amongst the city hotels we have stayed in. However, it was the hotel staff that made this a special stay for us - from Luven, the porter (whose name we never learned!) to the beautican and restaurant staff - everyone smiled and made us feel welcome in a down to earth and genuine way. We highly recommend staying at the Schlosshotel when in Berlin - we will certainly make a return visit.

Outstandingly good experience. This facility caters to both the upscale leisure traveller as well as the business executive in need of regaining breath after a hefty day at work.
In particular we enjoyed the staff who at all times were helpful and showed a great deal of what I tend to refer to as "emotional intelligence." No need to ask for things - once your habits are known to the house, things will flow just naturally.
As far as the place itself is concerned - let the pictures speak for themselves. Impeccable.
We shall most certainly be back in the near future.

I stayed with my wife for 2 nights during the Fruit Logistiga 2011 in Berlin. After a long day working we were really happy to know that we are going to stay and rest in a hotell that gives us total posibillity to rest and sleep well. If you want to go to center, you can always take the taxi to city center (10 €) or like us we walked in the nice road to the shopping and restaurant streets. If you want just party than take hotell in Mitte. Personality really great, rooms, brekfast, the hotell it self a Diamond ! Next time it will be easy to chose the hotell, it is Alma Schlosshotell.
