Grand Hyatt Berlin
Traveled solo and couldn’t be happier with my stay. The pool, spa, and gym were top-notch—clean, well-maintained, and perfect for unwinding after a busy day exploring Berlin. The staff were consistently warm and welcoming, from the front desk team during check-in and check-out to everyone I met throughout the hotel and spa area. Their attention to detail made a big difference. I especially loved the on-site café—it’s a quiet gem with excellent coffee and light bites, ideal for a relaxed morning or afternoon break. Despite its peaceful location, everything I needed was nearby: restaurants, shops, and attractions. Plus, public transport links are fantastic—just a short walk to the U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations. This place truly offers comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury. Definitely coming back.

Staying at the Lindner Hotel Berlin Ku'damm was an absolute highlight of my trip to Berlin. The value for money is outstanding—this isn’t just a place to sleep, it’s a smart choice for travelers who want comfort and convenience. Located just steps from Zoo Station and with direct access to the U-Bahn right outside the door, getting around the city was effortless. The room itself exceeded expectations—spacious and well-designed, not cramped or tight like some other hotels I’ve stayed in. I loved the included kettle and the thoughtfully separated wet and dry areas in the bathroom. Everything felt clean, modern, and practical. The staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. If you're looking for a reliable, central, and comfortable base in Berlin, this hotel is definitely worth considering.

The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the city, with most major attractions within walking distance. I loved how easy it was to explore without relying on transport. The hotel itself blends modern design with a warm, inviting atmosphere.

From the stylish interiors to the thoughtful touches throughout, this place felt like a true home away from home. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Berlin for the first time who values comfort, convenience, and smart design.
Puschkin Rooms
The guesthouse is infested with bed bugs—this is not an exaggeration. We found them crawling even in the shared kitchen, which is centrally located and accessible from all rooms. The owner never showed up during our stay and has not responded to any messages since. We had to scramble to find another hotel just to get a safe place to sleep. Health authorities have already been notified to prevent further risks to future guests.
Roomers Berlin Steinplatz, Autograph Collection
Staying at Roomers Berlin Steinplatz was a delightful experience from start to finish. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and efficient—plus, one of the team members even knew a few basic Chinese phrases, which added a personal touch. The hotel’s design is bold and modern, with a stylish yet welcoming vibe that feels both sophisticated and unique. Our room was comfortable, with a well-designed layout and high-quality furnishings. The only minor downside was the curtains—they don’t block out light completely, so morning sunlight did come through, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. The bathroom was clean, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed with excellent fixtures. Overall, the hotel strikes a perfect balance between luxury and urban charm. Located just steps away from public transit, getting around Berlin was effortless. If you're looking for a stylish, well-run stay in a great neighborhood, this is an excellent choice.
Apartmenthouse Berlin - am Görlitzer Park
The apartment was clean and the bedding was comfortable, which made for a decent stay overall. However, the noise from the reception area was quite disruptive—constant door slams and chatter in the mornings made it hard to relax. The soundproofing could definitely be improved; I’d strongly recommend bringing earplugs if you’re sensitive to noise. The neighborhood felt a bit off too—there were shady characters hanging around on the streets and some questionable activity near the park. While the hotel isn’t at fault for the area’s vibe, travelers should do their own research before booking. It’s a solid option for budget-conscious visitors who don’t mind a lively urban setting, but those seeking peace and quiet might want to think twice.
Motel One Berlin-Potsdamer Platz
Located just steps from Potsdamer Platz, this hotel offers unbeatable convenience for exploring Berlin. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable overall, though the mattress had a slight dip in one area—nothing too disruptive. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast options were limited but included essentials like bread, coffee, and fruit. While it’s not a gourmet experience, it’s sufficient for a quick start to the day. The location is definitely a highlight—everything is within walking distance. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a no-frills, well-located stay in central Berlin. Highly recommend for travelers who value proximity and reliability.

The soundproofing in the rooms is excellent; I slept peacefully through the night without any noise interference. The interior design is stunning—bold, artistic, and full of character. Every detail feels intentional and stylish. The only minor drawback is that the bathroom is a bit compact, but honestly, it’s a small trade-off for such a unique and well-executed experience. Overall, this hotel delivers on comfort, ambiance, and convenience. It’s not just a place to stay—it feels like part of the city’s creative soul.

Holiday Inn Express Berlin - Alexanderplatz
Staying at the Holiday Inn Express Berlin - Alexanderplatz was a great experience overall. The room was significantly larger than many older hotels I've stayed in, especially in Paris, making it feel spacious and comfortable. There was a small desk with a chair—perfect for unpacking or working on the go—and a safe for peace of mind. Just across the street is the subway station, only a 5- to 6-minute walk, which made getting around the city super convenient. Breakfast was solid, and the fact that it starts at 6:00 AM was a huge plus—no rushing to get something before heading out. The brand’s signature clean, no-frills style shines here: reliable, efficient, and affordable. For under €400 per night, this is one of the best value stays I’ve had in Berlin.

Henri Hotel Berlin Kurfürstendamm
Staying at Henri Hotel Berlin Kurfürstendamm was a real highlight of my trip to Berlin. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from Ku'Damm, with buses running all day and night, and the Zoo/Garten U-Bahn station close by. It’s in a quiet, well-lit, safe neighborhood, making it easy to explore even late at night. The room itself has charm and plenty of storage space—perfect for travelers with lots of luggage. I loved the big, comfortable bed, the Illy coffee machine, and the thoughtful touches like plenty of power outlets in convenient spots. The 24-hour front desk gave me peace of mind, especially when picking up my old-school key. The courtyard view is peaceful and adds character to the stay. Everything was clean and well-maintained. A few small improvements would make it perfect: adding a ramp at the entrance for easier luggage access (just a few steps up), upgrading to newer card keys, and installing USB charging ports. But honestly, these are just minor details—this hotel offers great value, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’d definitely book here again.
Titanic Chaussee Berlin
The service here was absolutely outstanding. The breakfast spread was beautifully presented and offered a fantastic variety—perfect for starting the day right. My room didn’t include access to the spa facilities, but I opted to pay extra, and it was totally worth every penny.
