Ocak Hotel
8.7 (504 reviews)

Ocak Hotel ★★★★

📍 Behmstraße 27 Mitte, Mitte, Berlin

"I had an unpleasant experience staying at this hotel. Four out of the five front desk staff members I interacted with had poor language skills in both English and German. They seemed to lack any sense of hospitality and failed to meet basic guest requests. The hotel flies a Turkish flag outside and appears to be Turkish-owned and operated. This context made my stay particularly unfortunate, as it coincided with the 'International Uyghur Forum' hosted by the World Uyghur Congress. Some members of the delegation—who advocate for an East Turkistan ideology—behaved aggressively and with open hostility toward guests of Chinese appearance. Management completely failed to ensure a safe, welcoming atmosphere for all of their guests."

Scandic Berlin Potsdamer Platz
8.9 (165 reviews)

Scandic Berlin Potsdamer Platz ★★★★

📍 Gabriele-Tergit-Promenade 19, Mitte, Berlin

"Great location, a bit dated facilities, good service."

Space Night Capsule Hotel
8.4 (73 reviews)

Space Night Capsule Hotel ★★

📍 Leipziger Str. 45, Mitte, Berlin

"I expected a capsule hotel like in JP but it’s a hostel. The price wasn’t expensive so was okay but I wouldn’t really stay again and get a proper hotel. Bathroom - each has shower + toilet. Both mixed both M/F which I wasn’t very impressed with. But overall even though it was a shared, it was the best part of this stay. Pods - quite small. Mine specifically had the table inside broken and smelled a bit funny. Towels were free which is great at least. Location - not very far from things but hard to find (upstairs inside a warehouse looking building). Can still walk 30min into town + less than 10 min walk to metro but I would have preferred to stay somewhere else honestly if I had known. The guy at the counter was rude as well. It could be worse and was only 2 nights but wouldn’t recommend or stay again."

Aletto Hotel Potsdamer Platz
9.0 (126 reviews)

Aletto Hotel Potsdamer Platz ★★★

📍 Luckenwalder Str. 12-14, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Berlin

"The subway station exit is 100 meters away, which is very convenient. The price is affordable and the room is clean and tidy."

Hotel Kastanienhof
8.8 (63 reviews)

Hotel Kastanienhof ★★★

📍 Kastanienallee 65, Mitte, Berlin

"We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very conveniently located at the intersection between Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg and you can easily reach many places on foot. The room was very comfortable and spacious, the team very friendly. The price-performance ratio is also good. We will happily recommend the Kastanienhof."

Calma Berlin Mitte
8.7 (108 reviews)

Calma Berlin Mitte ★★★

📍 Linienstraße 139-140, Mitte, Berlin

"Good, clean hotel, well located, and very comfortable bed. I recommend it."

Heart of Gold Hostel & Capsules Berlin
8.0 (110 reviews)

Heart of Gold Hostel & Capsules Berlin ★★

📍 Johannisstr. 11, Mitte, Berlin

Offering a convenient Berlin City Centre location, featuring a 24/7 lounge, peaceful garden, sunbathing area, and on-site cooking facilities, with private parking available for exploring the city with ease.

Hotel Berlin Alexanderplatz by Leonardo Hotels
8.9 (410 reviews)

Hotel Berlin Alexanderplatz by Leonardo Hotels ★★★★

📍 Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 32, Mitte, Berlin

"A special thanks to Ms Seydel who was one of the hotel receptionist. She assisted me with my enquiries and went all out to provide me with options and possible solution to an issue I was having pertaining to a delivery. Location wise, it's easy to get on the U-subway, just about fifteen minutes walk. I like knowing that there's a mall within reach somehow so I could quickly grab a salad or quick snack on my way back in the evening. Hotel does not provide any amenities (such as bedroom slippers) or toiletries (such as toothbrush or showercap) so do prepare your own. Other than that, I will definitely choose to return to H4 Hotel Alexanderplatz on my next visit in Berlin. Thank you!"

Hotel Elba am Kurfürstendamm - Design Chambers
8.4 (22 reviews)

Hotel Elba am Kurfürstendamm - Design Chambers ★★★

📍 Bleibtreustraße 26, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Berlin

"I just checked into the Elba Hotel in Berlin, and unfortunately, my stay got off to a very bad start. As I walked through the front door, I saw a woman standing there—no uniform, no name tag, nothing to indicate she worked at the hotel. She made no attempt to greet me. A few moments later, she seemed to realize I was a new guest and came in. With a blank expression and a voice that could have come straight from the Ice Queen in Arendelle, she mumbled a cold "Yes?"—no smile, no "Good morning," no "Welcome to the hotel." I told her I had just arrived in Berlin and needed to check in. She made a low, unintelligible noise—as if I had stepped on her foot. At that moment, I already regretted booking this hotel. Without any sign of friendliness, she demanded to see identification. I explained that I had my driver's license or a PDF copy of my passport. She seemed annoyed and dismissive. I told her I had already paid for the room through *********** and that nowhere did it state that a physical passport was required (I travel regularly for work, and this has never happened to me before). She repeated that she needed a passport. I repeated my answer. This back and forth happened three times before I finally told her I didn't appreciate her manner. I fully understand that ID needs to be verified, but the way she spoke to me was neither respectful nor professional. Eventually, she accepted my digital ID and reluctantly allowed me to stay at the hotel. I understand rules, but in an age where every service can be reviewed, a little kindness goes a long way. I was friendly and cooperative from the start; she clearly wasn't. When I told her I would review her service on Google, her tone suddenly changed. But by then, it was far too late."

Steigenberger Hotel am Kanzleramt Hotels in Berlin

Steigenberger Hotel am Kanzleramt

"Steigenberger hotel was exceptional and fantastic. Located just a few minutes walk away from Berlin HBF it is one of the easiest hotels to find and get to coming from a long trip by train. The hotel outside is incredible: tall building, modern design and overall in a clean and safe area. Our check in was super easy and the front desk was kind enough to reccomend local hot spots that helped us plan our couple days of exploring. The bar downstairs and the spa at the very top were both world class and the room itself was super cozy. We were so impressed by this spot and very much look forward to one day coming back."

Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin Hotels in Berlin

Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin

"Firstly I booked a king bed clearly on Trip and was given a double bed after which the duty manager argued that selections are deemed preferences not commitments! Secondly my room was not made up for 48hours after arrival. Finally when the room was made up on day 3 the shampoo, conditioner and body wash were not replenished in the shower. I have stayed in Kempinski hotels before this experience was a huge let down to the brand and standard"

Bellman Hotel Hotels in Berlin

Bellman Hotel

"Pros: Complementary bottled water, fridge, well insulated, nice curtains that block out light. Cons: I found hairs in the bed, black and blond which made me feel really gross. No kettle in the room, I don't drink coffee so I tried to use the filter but the coffee residue made it unbearable. Also the location isn't great if you have lots of activities in the centre of town. I constantly had to change metro lines and it always took me 35 - 45 minutes to get anywhere central. Overall okay for a night or two, with some good amenities, and I can see that they've recently renovated. But they really need to pay more attention to cleanliness."

"The location, staff, and rooms were all superb, and the breakfast was also very good. The staff were super nice, friendly, and caring. This is definitely one of the best value-for-money hotels I've stayed in in Europe. Highly recommended!"

"We forgot our brown trence coat, a blqck bag with some important items inside and our laundry clothes. Check with reception and seems she was been advised by housekeeping that they didnt recover any which is so impossible. We are 100% sure that it is in the room as we just move to another superior room and we cannot afford not to retrieve it. Pls help us asap"

Heart of Gold Hostel & Capsules Berlin ★★
"They tolerate thieves and do nothing about it, despite having cameras. We reported the theft of our belongings (labeled according to their guidelines) from the communal kitchen—which is under video surveillance—but were sent away empty-handed; they didn't even pretend to try and find the thief, who would certainly have been visible on camera. There were no towels or soap in the room, and the pillows looked as if they hadn't been replaced in ten years—just a cover filled with loose, shifting clumps of filling."

Hotels in Berlin: where to stay and what to book

Hotels in Berlin: where to stay and what to book

The TV tower above Alexanderplatz, with the Spree and the riverfront below

Berlin is a city of centres rather than one centre, which is the first thing to understand about booking a hotel here. Mitte holds the museum island and Alexanderplatz; Friedrichshain, east along the Spree, has the longest stretch of the Wall and the nightlife; and Ku'damm with Charlottenburg is the old West, the shopping boulevard and the palace. Below are eight hotels in Berlin, grouped that way, with the star rating, guest score, address and U-Bahn or S-Bahn walk for each.

Where to stay in Berlin: three areas worth comparing

Area

Best for

Practical check

Mitte: museum island and Brandenburg Gate

The museum island, the TV tower, Unter den Linden, both stations

Alexanderplatz and Hauptbahnhof are 210-320m from these hotels, on the S-Bahn and U-Bahn.

Friedrichshain and the East Side Gallery

The Wall along the Spree, Boxhagener Platz, nightlife, Kreuzberg across the bridge

Warschauer Straße is 520-800m from two hotels, and Berlin East station 460m from the third.

Ku'damm and Charlottenburg

The shopping boulevard, the memorial church, the palace and its museums

Uhlandstraße and Augsburger Straße U-Bahn are 180-210m from the two hotels.

The hotels in Berlin below are grouped by these three areas, cheapest first within each. Coming for the museum island and the gate, book Mitte; for the Wall and a late night, Friedrichshain; for the boulevard and the palace, Ku'damm.

Otto-Braun-Straße 69; Alexanderplatz 4 min walk

Two streets east of the square, with the TV tower on the skyline

Mitte is the Berlin on the postcards: the TV tower, the museum island, Unter den Linden and the Brandenburg Gate within a walk, with both main stations on its edge. The section spans the district between the two anchors. Museum Island is 600m from Alexanderplatz, a seven-minute walk, and the Brandenburg Gate is twenty minutes south on foot. Five minutes west by S-Bahn, the Hauptbahnhof has the gate just under a mile away and the government quarter alongside it — which is why the three hotels here cover both ends of Mitte and the square itself. The IntercityHotel is the one for train arrivals, the Leonardo is the one for sightseeing on foot, and the Hampton sits two streets east of Alexanderplatz with the TV tower on the skyline.

Mitte is walkable in a way the rest of Berlin is not: the museum island, Unter den Linden and the Brandenburg Gate sit within twenty minutes of each other, and Alexanderplatz is the hub where three U-Bahn lines and two S-Bahn lines meet. The Hauptbahnhof, five minutes west by S-Bahn, is one of Europe's biggest stations and the reason so many hotels cluster along the lines that pass through it. If you are arriving by air, the airport express runs into it directly, which makes the IntercityHotel the simplest first night in the city.

Warschauer Straße 39-40; Warschauer Straße 520m

A design hotel in a converted factory, five minutes from the bridge to Kreuzberg

Friedrichshain is where the Wall is at its longest and most photographed: the East Side Gallery runs for about a mile along the Spree between Ostbahnhof and the Oberbaumbrücke, painted by artists in 1990 and now protected. Warschauer Straße is the transport hub underneath it, with the U1 and U3 and the S-Bahn, and Boxhagener Platz, five minutes north, is where the cafés and the Saturday market are. Across the Oberbaumbrücke is Kreuzberg, and the RAW site and the clubs along the Spree are within a walk — which makes this the area to book for a weekend, not a sightseeing schedule.

Berlin's transport is the thing to understand before you book. The U-Bahn and the S-Bahn are separate networks that meet at a handful of stations, the ring line circles the centre, and one ticket covers both plus the trams and buses for two hours in one direction. From Warschauer Straße the U1 runs west into Mitte and the S-Bahn circles the city on the ring; from Alexanderplatz the U5 runs east to Friedrichshain. The Ostbahnhof, five minutes from the gallery, is the long-distance stop.

Kurfürstendamm 25; Uhlandstraße 180m

On the Ku'damm itself, in a converted 1891 building with a bar guests rate

Kurfürstendamm is the shopping boulevard of the old West, with the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church at its eastern end and the Tiergarten and the zoo beside it. Charlottenburg, the district behind the avenue, holds Schloss Charlottenburg and its gardens, the Berggruen Museum and the Bröhan, twenty minutes west by U-Bahn and bus. The two hotels straddle the boulevard: the Zoo is on the Ku'damm itself, the SANA a block south on the Schöneberg side. Both are within 200m of a U-Bahn station, which makes the palace and the museums easy without a taxi, and both are on the quieter side of the city after dark.

Before you book: five practical checks

  1. Avoid the trade-fair weeks. Two big fairs, the electronics show in early September and the travel fair in March, fill the hotels around the Charlottenburg exhibition grounds and push up rates across the city; the Christmas markets make December busy in Mitte.
  2. Read what the price includes. Berlin charges a city tax of a percentage of the room rate on top of the price, and breakfast is usually extra outside the four-stars.
  3. Pick the district before the hotel. Sightseeing, the Wall and the nightlife sit in different parts of the city, and the S-Bahn is quick enough that the district decides what your days look like.
  4. Check the map pin. "Berlin" listings include districts well outside the ring, and the city is roughly eight times the size of Paris inside its boundary.
  5. Buy a day or week ticket, not singles. The U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams and buses share one ticket, and the airport is in zone C, so a Berlin ABC ticket covers the whole journey.

Arriving in Berlin: from the airport or station to your hotel

Arrival point

What to do

Berlin Brandenburg

The city's only airport, south-east of the centre, with the S-Bahn and the airport express into Hauptbahnhof and Alexanderplatz.

Hauptbahnhof

The main station: the IntercityHotel is 210m away, and every S-Bahn line through the centre stops here.

Alexanderplatz

The other central hub, with the TV tower above it and the U2, U5 and U8 underneath.

Warschauer Straße and Ostbahnhof

The Friedrichshain stops: Warschauer Straße is 520-800m from two hotels, and Berlin East station 460m from the Schulz.

The thing that catches people out is the size of the city: a hotel that looks central on the map can be forty minutes from the museum island, and the transport is priced by zone rather than by distance. Check the U-Bahn or S-Bahn line before you book, not just the district.

※ Prices, scores and availability change. Check the linked hotel pages for your dates before booking.
