Berlin hotels near Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin

Pros: Location

Cons: Too expensive Too expensive breakfast Bathroom drain was clogged

Pros: Location was fantastic. Public transport in immediate vicinity. The area around Potsdam Place is modern and we felt very safe wandering the streets at night. Great food choices in the area and supermarket close by. The apartment exceeded our expectations. It was very comfortable, spacious, beautifully appointed. This apartment made our trip to Berlin extra special and we Will be back.

Cons: Only a couple of improvements I could suggest 1. Could have been more English speaking TV channels , or access to Netflix etc. Only 2 English speaking channels and both were UK news channels. There were several dozen Arabic stations so it was imbalanced. 2 . There is a small kitchen with a cook top but no pans or frying pan in the room. I am sure they could be provided if asked.

Cons: It was cold in the room

Pros: Lovely hotel. Rooms great. Staff excellent

Pros: The location is great, 7-8 min walking to Berlin mall. Near to metro station. Room was clean and clam with a fantastic view.

Cons: Many kind of responds from the staff were taking a lot of time! In the restaurant for the dinner, staffs were not well organized! I was worried about my requests and I should repeat any thing. I got late check out till 18:00 but one of the waiters told me your card wouldn’t work after 11:00 am and it was strange for me! It made me nervous and I checked this problem with the reception and they told me you have not any problem with your key after 11:00 am! Such a kind of mis harmonisation!!!!

Pros: - The walk-in closet is great. We love it! - Wonderful breakfast! Some may complain for the limited choices on the buffet table, but you can always order fried eggs, omelettes, pancakes or waffles on demand. Having stayed at various hotels, I never saw a hotel like Mandala that provides breakfast fruits using the Parisienne scooped balls. If you taste some sauces from breakfast buffet, you‘ll also notice why the hotel FACIL restaurant earned its fame. It is the attention to details made staying at Mandala special!

Cons: - the Internet is not working for one whole day. We brought a laptop but could not work or answer Emails. Fortunately, the Internet is quickly fixed the next day.

Pros: It’s location was fantastic - near to station, buses, tourist sites & eateries. Hotel was really, really clean and new and modern.

Cons: Breakfast was really expensive, 2 Michelin star restaurant In the hotel and the breakfast cost reflected this but it wasn’t worth €30 each No free ‘welcome’ bottled water in the room on arrival, only expensive bottled water in mini bar, - would have been a nice touch for a 5* hotel.

Pros: Big room, great bathroom. Comfortable bed,

Cons: No microwave , not enough English tv

Pros: Very nice Hotel, great location, very large room with a small kitchen (useful for those who have kids..) Breakfast is reach and tasty... The staff are very nice and kind! Love this place and it's really recommended !

Pros: Rooms were large, modern, and clean. Hotel in an excellent location convenient to trains, subway, shopping, and restaurants.

Pros: the staff spoke excelllent english and were friendly.The room was spacious and comfortable

Cons: we were meeting friends who were arriving at a different time. the reception staff told each of us repeatedly that our friends had not arrived and did not pass on a message.The promised excellent restaurant was not open when we wished to use it.

Pros: Very comfortable, very nice located, very good service

Pros: Great room (deluxe room ) good size newly renovated , quiet , big marble bathroom. Comfy bed and soft sheets. Good location, very central, taxis always outside.

Cons: I wish there was a spa. They only have a wellness area.

Pros: Poor when items ran out they weren't replaced at once . The bread never seemed to be refilled. In the bedrooms there was no details as to what facilities that the hotel had. When my partner wanted to have a massage she had to go through the concierge. it was difficult to see who the staff or clients were due to the staff not being uniformed.

Cons: as per the items above

Pros: Everything really

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: Bed amazing Staff excellent Atmosphere chilled

Pros: - super friendly staff at check in & room upgrade - fast free WiFi - great location next to park

Pros: This is an excellent hotel. Very well appointed and spacious rooms, very convenient location, friendly staff and wide variety of food at breakfast service. The bedding was very high quality, we had restful sleep every night. The bar downstairs makes innovative, perfume themed cocktails. All round a very nice experience.

Cons: Nothing comes to mind.

Pros: Extremely comfortable bed, excellent food and staff very attentive

Cons: Can't think of anything

Pros: From the moment I arrived I was greeted warmly and treated like a valued guest. The service in all areas of the hotel was the best I have experienced at any hotel. The rooms are beautifully updated with very well appointed bathrooms. Entertained clients on three occasions at the Curtain Club. Could not have asked for better service. Nicholas in the Curtain Club should be commended for a job well done. This will certainly be my go to hotel in Berlin for future stays.

Cons: Not a thing.

Pros: The location The venue The rooms

Cons: Room service was not the standards of 5 stat hotel The concierge was not very friendly

Pros: Beautiful interior and quite room.

Cons: I expected too much from Ritz, I guess. First of all, I cannot control the lights with buttons next to bed, malfunction, so every time I need to turn on or off, I walked all the way to the front door. Secondly, they didn't place hair dryer. I really don't need it so I didn't call the reception. Maybe it's 'well' hidden? For me it was painful hide&seek and decided not to use it - anyway it was not that important for me. (I told the reception about it when I checked out for other customers.) Thirdly, then I used the tea lounge for light snack during the day time, yet the lady is friendly but very unprofessional especially for this 5 star hotel tea lounge. I ordered coffee, cake and juice. They forgot the coffee and brought cake first without any drink... then "much" later juice and then.... no coffee. I asked them to bring the coffee in a polite way and her respond was "what?.." for a few sec and then "oh yes.." and that's it. No apology or any excuse. She was not rude at all but that was a bit strange for me. I like the interior and the taste of cake but service level made me really uncomfortable. So overall, not value for the money. Lastly, breakfast... really plain or quite special or healthy options or variations. You can see this kind of breakfast for 3 star hotel in any major cities these days. I'd recommend that you go to any hip cafes in mitte area to have cool breakfast if you are not busy in the morning. Cheaper and much better options & taste. Yet, service was super friendly! I've been to non-franchise and local 4 star (or 5) hotels in other areas but their room interior, condition, service level, and even breakfast were way much better - and of course, they were cheaper. I think Ritz became one of those plain franchise hotel and no effort anymore to develop their level. Definitely the whole experience was not 5 star for me at all and no value for money.

Pros: Would stay there again for sure

Pros: Everything the hotel is great

Cons: The staff at check in did not offer breakfast at a lower price for the next day. I asked another member of the staff and the correct price was informed.

Pros: Great hostel with great vibes and wonderful staff

Pros: It was such a joy to stay there! Stuff was very friendly and helpful +they organize activities in the evening: I was on karaoke party and beer tasting. It is also possible to rent a bike - you definitely should explore Berlin via bike as well. Location is great - there is a Technical museum 6 min by foot away and an U-bahn station almost around the corner Can't wait to stay there again!

Cons: I didn't want to go out in the evenings because staying in was so much fun

Pros: Even though I’m literally just back from my holiday, I couldn’t wait to leave a review for this amazing hostel! Absolutely the best hostel I stayed in during my interrailing adventure. Here are just some of the many good points: - we arrived a day late due to an accident with the train, and my mum rang the hostel to explain we’d be a day late (as we had no credit) and the receptionist remembered her! He was very sympathetic, understanding and charismatic, and even brought us free hot drinks - the decor is beautiful - the atmosphere in the bar is excellent and it has a large selection of books in a very aesthetic library - the beds are small but comfy - it’s very clean - the bartender charred our pizza the tiniest bit and brought us free shots even though we said we didn’t mind, and when I asked if they were alcoholic (just to check as I don’t drink alcohol), he immediately asked me if there was anything else that might be more suitable and brought me a coca cola instead - for Berlin, the location is very good - it’s very safe to walk around in even at night (and it’s a beautiful location, not too busy either) and only a 30-40 minute walk from main attractions such as the Reichstag building and the Brandenburg gate (probably much less if you took the metro!) - best value for money you will ever find

Cons: Nothing! Absolutely perfect, especially for the price! I only wish I could have stayed longer :( but I hope to come back again soon!

Pros: I stayed at Berlin Classic for 4 nights and everything was perfect. The staff is awesome they are always smiling and open to help. Activities going on each night and the bar is one of the best things. You feel you are at home and I knew great people.

Pros: The localization is amazing, just 2 minutes walking from the U station. The rooms are very clean and the have hair dryer in bathrooms. I liked that they don’t use bunk beds.

Cons: The shower cold be better, it turn off by itself in like 1 minute and you have to press the bottom several times to complete an entire shower

Pros: Very nice athmosphere, nice old building, all extremely clean, very quiet when room on the backyard

Cons: Bed a bit to soft. Many beds aligned in one single room, no privacy at all (dormitory with 7 beds) Rooms on the street are noisy

Pros: What can I say, its my second time here!!! The staff are unreal! Seriously, location is 2min walk from the subway, breakfast is plenty and very good (all you can eat buffet style with selection of bread, hams, cheese, eggs, yogurt, cereals and more). This time I booked for a 6 beds room so I had to sleep in a bunk bed, last time I had a 5 bed room so they were individual beds.

Cons: Nothing, these people are great!

Pros: Big spacious room and excellent bathroom

Cons: Maybe a little wider bed

Pros: Good location, friendly stuff. In general you will like it.

Cons: No elevator for 2 and 3 floor. Keep in mind about that, its old building.

Pros: The accommodation was well maintained in a beautiful building, with great staff to help you

Cons: The major attractions of city are little away from the location..

Pros: Loved the central location and the facilities. Had everything needed for a home away from home. Staff were super helpful and the place had a great atmosphere.

Pros: Execeptional quality, excellent wifi, very close to train and historical sites

Cons: No, everything was great

Pros: Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Location of hotel.

Pros: Staff were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, polite and excellent communicators

Cons: We thought the beds were dreadfull, very uncomfortable and gave us serious back ache. The glass block wall to the bathroom is not a good design idea. If one person needs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night the lights are so bright in the bathroom and shine right onto the bed through the glass blocks. so dreadfully annoying. The bed is too big for the room and there is not enough space to move around, particularly between the windows, table, chair and bed. This means guests are often stubbing their toes on the bed legs when trying to pass. The tv only had a couple of channels in English and these were news channels, very sad. The German channels would have been fine if we were able to view tv shows with English subtitles. One last thing, when we booked our room and prepaid we expected to have the entire cost known. The tax charge we received when checking out was an awful surprise as this should have been included in the overall cost and not an addition at the end. Most unhappy.

Cons: The food a available at the resident

Pros: Easy access to TXL airport (€36 by taxi) Comfortable bed Big window

Cons: Air conditioning did not work

Cons: It is a bad location. In a addition, it is a bit far from the attractions and the trains and it's walk way dark to walk at night. The staff were not friendly at all and we did not get treat well. At the breakfast all the servers were rude and tried not to speak with us in English. The room colors are very bright yet dull with bad combinations, too many colors I did not like the bathroom because once u take a shower the entire bathroom floor gets wet. The bed is one of the worst I have slept in. The billow is even worst than then bed. In short our experience in berlin was ruined simply because of this hotel.

Pros: Staff were very good Hotel room was very clean Great location

Cons: No parking Payed nearly €300 for a room and I didn’t even include breakfast I booked a twin room and got a double bed

Pros: Hotel staff is polite, the hotel is clean. We feel comfortable when we stay here for 2 days

Pros: Breakfast is really nice and good. Sometimes we had to wait few minutes for the replenishment of some foods, but nothing really bad (we were also very late in the morning). Staff at the restaurant very friendly and helpful

Cons: We got a standard room (queen bed). Room was ok, but not really good value for the money you pay in such an hotel. Small, no big space to sit or place the luggage, bathroom with very poor package (no soap, no other free accessories). Staff at the reception very different: you can go from very nice and helpful people (ladies mainly) to others young guys who were not always very friendly, at least not at the same level

Pros: Fast Check in and fast Check out. Lovely Service. Great at English

Cons: That after 10 on sunday you could not get a cocktail, only soft drink and beer or wine

Pros: Very nice hotel. Looks and feels classy. Very comfortable room. Also I got a room in the back, so a very quiet one, which was excellent. All in all a very nice place. Close to the S-Bahn.

Cons: One weird thing: there was water constantly dripping in the gym from the AC on the floor. Weird. Also the gym was not very well equipped. One strange thing: I asked the reception at midnight to order a taxi for next morning. Then a few minutes later I call them and ask to cancel that. They respond they are not sure the order can be cancelled, which was totally weird - it was still 6 hours or so till the taxi was supposed to come. They tell me they will call me back in 10 minutes. They don't call me back, I call them in half an hour, they tell me it is done and cancelled. Too much hassle for such a simple thing.

Pros: Staff highly qualified. The quality of food and beverage presented is excellent. The location is very good .

Cons: Cleanliness needs to be taken care of more , in regards the bathroom. Bed sheets have to be changed daily without guest request.
