Scandic Berlin Potsdamer Platz

Hotelli vastasi kuvauksia ja odotuksiamme. Huoneessa tyylikäs sisustus, hyvät sängyt, tuolit, valaismet, KH ym. Erinomainen aamiainen. Hotellin ympäristö rauhallinen ja moderni, lähellä paljon nähtävää ja viereisellä metrolla (ilman vaihtoja) pääsi sujuvasti tutkimaan mielenkiintoisia kohteita (mm. Mitte ja Charlottenburg, KaDeWe). Tegelin kentältä hyvät yhteydet: X9 bussi ja U2 metro (vaihto: Ernst Reuter Platz).

Perushuoneesta näkymä hotellin muihin huoneisiin (ennalta tiedossa).

We paid extra for breakfast since it wasn't included in the room rate, however, it worked out better because we were allowed to just pay for 2 breakfasts instead of 3 (we were staying 3 nights, but would miss the last breakfast due to an early flight). The breakfast is only like 15 euros or so and was excellent. German breakfast buffets really blows American continental out of the water. There is also a fitness center with a couple of treadmills and ellipticals, as well as free weights. The hotel itself is located smack dab right next to the Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Park station and like a 5 min walk from the Potsdamer Platz station. It's also a 5 minute walk to plenty of shopping centers like the Mall of Berlin. The hotel itself seems to be surrounded by apartments and maybe some businesses, and overall is very quiet at night. Check in staff was so friendly and helpful. There was a bowl of chocolates and the kissing swan towels to welcome my husband and I. Super cute.

There isn't a whole lot of counter space to put your stuff on, and the showers are a bit small. But the bathroom itself is a good size.

Scandic Berlin Potsdamer Platz looks new; actually a whole block between the Potsdamer Platz and the Landwehr Canal looks to have recently been redeveloped. It's a typical business hotel with the associated comfort. It's very conveniently positioned for anyone using the U-bahn - the station entrance is literally 10 m away from the covered hotel walkway. Nice breakfast. Quiet environment during weekend; might be otherwise on a workday.
