Berlin City Centre Berlin|2.52km from city centre
I want to specifically address the issue with the Black staff member mentioned below. All other hotel staff were incredibly welcoming and professional, except for the Black individual making omelets in the ground floor breakfast area – I won't name you here. However, as a 'Chinese Preferred' hotel, I experienced severe racial discrimination, which is absolutely intolerable. I hope the manager can provide a clear response. I had breakfast for three consecutive days. On the first two days, this Black staff member's attitude was very cold. When I asked him to make two fried eggs, he completely ignored me and didn't make them. My girlfriend and I even wondered if it was because we went late and he was tired after a busy morning; I was even trying to empathize with him. It wasn't until the third morning when I was queuing for an omelet that I noticed he was very friendly and smiling with the previous Caucasian guest, even thoughtfully serving them some mushrooms. When it was my turn, he instantly dropped his smile and, after hearing my request for two omelets, only made one. I don't understand why he was consistently targeting my girlfriend and me. Is it simply because we are not Caucasian? This made us extremely upset, and we require a formal response.

Wilmersdorf Berlin|5.65km from city centre
Wonderful hotel in every aspect. Very clean and fully functioning room with touch pad light controls, Sky Premier League on the TV and a free minibar that is restocked daily! Quiet location with public transport links to areas of interest easily accessible. Lovely little square around the corner with nice restaurants and an Aldi. Would have happily paid double which alone speaks to the value of the place. Thoroughly recommended.

Berlin City Centre Berlin|1.21km from city centre
Let's start with the positives: The location is excellent, right next to the U2 subway station and very close to the U6. If you have the Berlin WelcomeCard, getting around by subway and bus is super convenient and saves you a lot of walking. There's a Rewe supermarket across the street with a great selection of food, and their salad bar and hot food counter are both excellent. Now for the negatives: The staff were arrogant and rude. I waited in line to check in for almost 20 minutes when a white man just walked up and stood next to the queue, not bothering to line up. After the person in front of me finished, I walked up to the front desk with him. He said the balding male staff member at the desk had called him over. I told the male receptionist that everyone was queuing and should be served in order, but he insisted he had called that specific white man. At this point, another front desk was free, so I didn't argue and moved to that one. This is where it got even more interesting. When I tried to pay the deposit in cash, the female receptionist said they don't accept cash. Isn't it illegal in any country to refuse legal tender? And who says everyone has a credit card? I didn't want any trouble, so I pulled out my credit card, but for some reason, it wouldn't go through. Finally, this female receptionist said her colleague could accept cash, and indeed, the colleague came over and took the money. But if I hadn't asked, they wouldn't have even given me a receipt. For a hotel costing over 2,000 euros a night, they don't provide bottled water unless you're a Hilton Silver member or higher. The coffee is also terrible instant coffee, the worst among the four hotels I stayed at on this Europe trip. The facilities are old but reasonably well-maintained. In short, besides the location, there are no redeeming qualities.

The hotel is surrounded by excellent amenities. It's a 10-minute walk to the zoo, and there are bus and subway stops right outside. The breakfast spread is generous, and both the gym and swimming facilities are well-equipped and complete. The front desk staff are welcoming and provide excellent customer service.

The room was very clean. The doorman was helpful and took out the trash, which was a nice touch. The front desk staff, cleaning crew, and customer service were all great. The only thing is they require a 200 euro deposit, which is refunded 7 to 14 business days after check-out, with the city tax deducted from it. I hope my deposit is returned promptly, thank you.

Berlin City Centre Berlin|0.88km from city centre
Very disappointing experience. We arrived at the hotel at around 12:45 with our family and an exhausted child and asked whether it might be possible to access our room a little earlier if it was available. We fully understand that the official check-in time is 3:00 PM. However, the hotel knew that we had been sitting in the lobby waiting for almost two hours with a very tired child, yet no effort seemed to be made to prioritise our room or find any solution for us. What made the situation particularly disappointing was the complete lack of flexibility or consideration. We were not demanding something unreasonable; we were simply asking whether, given the circumstances, the room could be made available slightly earlier. We were also going to check out very early in the morning, meaning that we would not even benefit from the official check-out time until 12:00 noon. For a hotel of this standard, I expected a much more welcoming and customer-oriented approach. Small gestures and a little flexibility can make a significant difference to a guest’s experience, particularly for a family travelling with a tired child. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled left us feeling that there was very little interest in helping us or making our arrival more comfortable. On top of that the room wasn't fully clean. I insert a photo.

The place is right in the middle of Alexanderplatz, so you can’t get more central than that. The hotel itself has seen better days and the parking feels like solving a puzzle in expert mode. On the bright side, the staff are super friendly and the rooms do the job. Only downside, the bathroom air conditioning sounded like it was trying to start a rock band.

Excellent hotel! My flight landed very early, so I arrived at the hotel before 9 am. I expected to just drop off my luggage and check in later in the afternoon, but they let me check in right away. The room was clean and hygienic, though the pillows were a bit too thin and soft; I needed to use two to be comfortable. The breakfast area is spacious with a wide variety of options. The location is convenient with plenty of amenities nearby. Great value for money, highly recommend!

An excellent hotel for the price. If you plan to explore the area on foot, this is the ideal choice. It is close to the train station, conveniently located, and features nice rooms. For Europe, the price is very affordable. You can book with confidence—I highly recommend it for a comfortable stay. You just need to go by walk. A lot of great places you can see just go walk around the hotel.

The room facilities are complete and brand new, the air conditioning works great, and the breakfast spread is fantastic.
