“To stay in a nice(r) part of Berlin -with fairly good access to travel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We chose Hotel Benn as it has a good compromise in communication to both: Berlin Schönefeld airport and our daily target: Messe (Süd).
Altstadt Spandau (nearly the only part of Berlin with "atmosphere") has 2 stations.
One is called Altstadt (the U-Bahn station is 3 minutes walk from Hotel Benn) -and the station of Spandau (U-Bahn, S-Bahn and the railway stops here), which is 5-6 minutes walk from the hotel.
There is not much difference (in time) to come from the airport between the different railways: more or less 1 hour.

The hotel is nicely maintained: clean rooms and helpful personnel.
the breakfests are really great.
The prices (like everywhere in Berlin) are overpriced - particularly during any important Fair.

The hotel has 2 blocks: one is a charming wing (looks to be a mediavel builiding from the outside) -the other just the opposite: an appartment building from the forties (or so).
We had expereiences with the second one: like most so called hotels in Berlin: the flats are converted to small individual rooms and sold as hotel. (Not quite a real hotel, though).
I had the chance to stay on the 3rd floor - a real climb (particularly with luggages) through the narrow and squaky staircase...
First time I stayed in a room, where the shower-cabin was inside the room. (The WC was separate).
But once you get use to it - it can be OK.
I have not seen the other rooms of the hotel, they could have been different. All in one: ** and a half.

“Good location, very helpful personnel, great breakfast!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2010

My first room was on the top floor - no elevator... my luggage was brought down to a room on lower floor the next day! - The hosts are very helpful! I loved the breakfast buffet! - The hotel is in two different buildings, you'll have to cross the cobblestone street to go for breakfast if you're in the "pale green" building - I guess if you're so inclined you could jog for a few minutes before breakfast? - All in all I felt very comfortable, and I loved exploring Alt-Spandau. Even got to watch a wedding in the church nearby, on a perfect spring day! And an outdoor concert on the Marktplatz! - I'll go back to Hotel Benn anytime, and next time I'll bring my husband to show him around!

“We would stay here anytime”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2010

This hotel is one of the friendliest hotels we have ever been in. Only having one day to explore Berlin we were hard pressed to see the top sights. The manager put together a cost effective wonderful plan using the local bus system that was fabuous. My sis and her husband had a very early before breakfast departure the following morning, 5:30am, and the manager had breakfast and coffee all prepared for them. This kind of service is rarely found. We would stay here ANYTIME and recommend this hotel to one and all!

“Wonderful hotel in a great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

We recently stayed at the Hotel Benn in the Spandau area of Berlin. The hotel is older, but the rooms were clean, comfortable, and well cared for. The hotel proprietor was fantastic. We were able to purchase passes at the hotel for bus and train transportation in the city. He gave us maps and directions on which buses to take for the best sightseeing at the best value. My husband and I had an early flight, so we had to check out at 5:00a.m. The proprietor had breakfast and fresh coffee waiting for us when we checked out even though breakfast did not officially start until 6:00a.m.
