Orania.Berlin

Only one word . Fantastic. Wonderful welcome, relaxed checkin, superb room and what a bed !

Nothing

While I have been in hotels that have satisfied me to this extent, I am very rarely in one that is this good for such a price (approx 200 per night). First, in terms of the rooms. I was traveling alone, so I took the smallest room they had. It was still very spacious and would have been entirely comfortable for two, including that the bed size is 160cm across (i.e. queen). Moreover, the hotel is quite recently refurbished and kept in great shape. The room is very tastefully appointed in very high quality materials. Everything is top notch and stylish. A separate note about the shower (and I am sucker for a good shower). It was sheer perfection - spacious, large rainhead, fantastic water pressure. Really starts your day off right! Second, the lobby and food. The lobby/bar/restaurant area is beautiful and very cosy at any time of day. They have a stage in the middle where live music plays almost every evening. And very good music to boot. I greatly enjoyed the soul trio they had on. Furthermore, while hotel food is usually blah, not so here. The restaurant is excellent. I'd particularly recommend their Pekin duck in the evening or the Duck and Waffle during day. Breakfast was very good too, particularly the eggs Benedict with salmon/bacon and avocado. Finally, the staff. A pleasure each and every one. Professional and friendly, without being overbearing. At approximately the same price level, I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else in Berlin.

There literally wasn't a single thing wrong.
