Berliini hotellit lähellä Alexanderplatz

Plussat: Everything we wanted to visit was either in walking distance or we had good access to transport. I found the hotel very quiet and all the facilities were clean. We found the staff very nice, however sometime felt they didn't always understand us properly, but this may have been as we didn't speak English.

Miinukset: As I didn't like to have my room cleaned every day on two occasions we put the do not disturb sign on the door as we knew we would be returning to the hotel a few times during the day, this lead to a notice on the door on the second occasion, we felt this rude as it made us feel we were breaking some rules by not letting the maids in for a day. I also found the pillows quiet uncomfortable but did not feel like it would be okay to ask for more.

Plussat: The internet should be improved as one had to log into wifi again and again several times a day, even if you had not left the hotel. The booking did not come through for 48 hours. The hotel is conveniently located in Berlin, has comfortable rooms and a nice breakfast, with vegan options.

Plussat: Standards of finish and cleanliness exceptionally high. Nice rooms - well equipped.

Miinukset: Whilst the bar staff were nice, they were unable to mix cocktails! The Negroni cocktail is made of one part gin, one part vermouth rosso, and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel. It is considered an apéritif.

Plussat: The staff was extremely helpful. The location makes touring very easy.

Miinukset: The room was very small. The room was cool almost cold the first day and adjusting the room temperature was not easy.

Plussat: Location, Comfort

Miinukset: Parking is expensive

Plussat: Nice hotel and fantastic location, free wifi and helpful friendly staff.

Plussat: location, cleaning, staff

Miinukset: responding to my emails not so often

Plussat: Great spot to see Berlin. They weren't kidding about being close to public transportation, and even walking to a lot is a possibility. Room was classy, comfortable and clean. The entire hotel was, to our young eyes, a little classier than we'd normally stay in, but the price was right and we enjoyed it very much.

Miinukset: Took forever to get checked in. Front desk was mostly polite, but we felt a little brushed off waiting to check in. They did however hold our bags as it was well before check in time.

Plussat: I was in Berlin for a couple of days on a business trip. Overall, the facility is mediocre. It is clearly old and a little bit rundown, but nothing particularly major. They try to keep it clean, but there is only so much you can do without major updates. Don't get me wrong-the hotel is not dirty, but it has more of a 2 or 3 star hotel level cleanness, definitely not 4. The location is OK. It's a bit further away from the center, but the hotel is literally in front of a U-station, which makes it easier.

Miinukset: My main two issues were with amenities and service. First, they have the worst wireless I've ever encountered anywhere in the world. Literally that. The connection was poor and kept dropping all the time. It was impossible to get any work done in the room. I could do some in the lobby, but not in my room. Also, weirdly, the terms of wireless service prohibit you to use Skype or IM under the argument of protecting copyright. I am not sure I understood this logic, but I couldn't communicate with my family from there anyway, because of the poor connection. The TV also didn't work very well. The few channels in English they have kept disconnecting. Second, the hotel staff, while not rude or anything, was very unwelcoming and not helpful at all. For example, I arrived pretty early and although I did not expect them to have a room for me at that hour, I hoped to use that time to do some work in the lobby. It turns out, you cannot access their wireless without a code and they will not issue a code unless you have a key to your room. They did check me in on arrival, but since the room was not ready I couldn't use the wireless even in the lobby. Why? Nobody gave me a reason, other than this is how things work in their hotel. The staff were not ready to do anything to help. Another example, when I learned couldn't use the internet in my room, I asked the front desk for instructions for getting to some place. Getting those instructions was like pulling teeth - I had to guide the front desk person through the process of looking for commute instructions online all while she does everything to show me that she is doing this unwillingly. Finally, I needed a band-aid at some point. Of course they did not have any. Honestly, I wouldn't mind most of it, but for what they charge and for the reviews I expected more. I will avoid this hotel in future. There are other options in their price range.
