“Great location,but definitely not a 4 star hotel!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We've been there for six days and the location and everything was ok in my room; however, this was not the case with the other party's room, where hymidity was holding a party! Seemed like a former communist house turned into a youth hostel and not a 4 star hotel. There are two underground stations nearby, within walking distance, which is truly helpful but consider staying in another hotel if a renovation doesn't take place immediately! The banquet breakfast was fantastic and tasty (besides the tomatoes) and the personnel were helpful, friendly and smiling and gave you a sense of safety - a big plus - they even allowed us an earlier check in a later check out - which was greatly appreciated. They even kept an eye on our luggages on our departure day which was of a great help. Furthermore, they handed free copies of Berlin maps and overall they were quite polite. I mean everybody. The building, on the other hand, is quite old, with a steady smell of old carpets and quite a few stains on it as well! I would recommend the hotel for its location - especially if you are planning to be in the city most of the day, or if you travel alone but not suggested if you are planning a romantic getaway!

Room Tip: Lower floor rooms seem to have been renovated, but the price is higher

“Four Star location&breakfast, two star room standard”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel is in a super convenient location with airport bus just outside and excellent bus, U-bahn and S-bahn connections within a minute or two from the hotel.

I believe the hotel is undergoing a much needed face-lift, if the standard of our room is anything to go by. Ancient, grotty wardrobe and tired old bathroom. Light years away from a 4-star standard. Other rooms we happened to catch a glance of seemed more modern.

No internet connection in the room, only wireless network available in the lobby for 5 Euro a day. Not impressed.

The breakfast however was sensational and the staff very friendly and helpful.

In short: Great location, excellent breakfast, friendly staff, disappointing room.

“ok”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

person found this review helpful

This hotel at very good location, for a good price. You don't even need to walk and there's lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, transport etc. The room was fairly spacious for a solo traveller, well designed, and the bed particularly comfortable. My room was on the front of the hotel and I had a lovely view of the main street. The breakfast was a typical continental breakfast but was of good quality.
No air conditioning, very hot rooms. Unable to open windows due to traffic noise. Hotel neded a renovation.

“Fin base i Berlin”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

Man aner fordums storhed i massive træpaneler og tapeter, men hotellet ser unægtelig lidt brugt ud. Til gengæld ligger det rigtigt godt på "Ku'damm" og der er masser af varmt vand i hanerne, sengene var fine, morgenmaden god og rigelig og personalet var, uden undtagelse, venligtsindede og hjælpsomme.
Var der i 4 dage i December, for at opleve juleudsmykning og -markeder. Hotellet fungerede som en fin base, med central beliggenhed.

“This is not a four star hotel !!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

The hotel has an excellent location, the staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are very good with lots of choice. The rooms and corridors, however, are shabby and years overdue for refurbishment. It is definitely not 4* standard, if the hotel is not careful it could get done if it continues to claim 4* status.
