Hotel 4-Star di Brandenburg, Germany

I am writing to formally document a series of service failures, inconsistencies, and a safety concern experienced during my recent stay at IntercityHotel near the airport in northern Germany. Upon arrival, I encountered unprofessional conduct at reception. Despite the desk being empty, two staff members failed to acknowledge me appropriately, avoided eye contact, and instructed me to wait in a dismissive manner. Although self check-in machines were available, no guidance was offered. I had to identify and request to use them myself, receiving only minimal and inattentive responses. During my stay, I requested a basic item (a box of tissues) from housekeeping, which was never delivered. This reflects a failure to fulfill a simple and reasonable guest request. More concerning was the inconsistency regarding late check-out terms. I had agreed with a morning receptionist (Amy) on a late check-out until 3:00 PM for €35. However, when I reconfirmed this with the night receptionist, I was informed that check-out was only free until 1:00 PM and that each additional hour would cost €50. This contradiction indicates a lack of internal coordination and transparency. As a result, I was compelled to leave earlier than planned. Additionally, my interaction with breakfast/lounge staff was inappropriate and unprofessional. I was met with visible irritation (sighing, dismissive tone), condescending remarks regarding my order, and poor service delivery. The coffee provided was of unacceptable quality (containing grounds and served in a visibly dirty cup). A request for almond milk was handled with reluctance and discourtesy. The final remark, “enjoy your coffee,” was delivered in a sarcastic and unprofessional manner. Importantly, I also encountered a safety issue in the room: I found a piece of broken glass on the floor at the entrance of the bathroom. This represents a clear lapse in cleaning standards and poses a risk of injury, which is unacceptable in any hotel environment. While I acknowledge that the room was otherwise clean and comfortable, with good air conditioning, and that the bathroom facilities and breakfast offering met expected standards, the overall experience was significantly undermined by repeated service failures and the aforementioned safety concern. The pattern of behavior observed suggests deficiencies in staff training, internal communication, quality control, and basic service standards. This falls below what can reasonably be expected from a hotel operating under a recognized brand. I trust this complaint will be taken seriously and reviewed internally to prevent similar experiences for future guests.

The hotel is conveniently close to the BER T1 entrance hall. We arrive by train for the night to catch a flight next early morning. Walking distance is below 5 min. Out room was exceptionally clean, looks very modern and had - to my surprise - excellent soundproofing. Also the bathroom and shower were very clean. From the noise of the airplanes is very few to hear. We Also very clean was the spa/sauna area. It's a mixed sauna and open til 22:00. Restaurant is in the hotel, a 24/7 Rewe supermarket in the BER entrance hall. Great stay for one night.

I got off the train took the elevator up stepped outside the terminal and saw already the bright entrance of intercity Hotel Berlin AirPort. What else could you wish for with two huge and heavy pieces of luggage, it can’t be better than that. Very convenient to stay if you have an early flight or want a super relaxed start the next day. Room was clean and tidy, seems still very new. Nothing to complain about 😎👍🏼

Das Best Western Plus hat uns sehr beeindruckt. Alles ist sehr großzügig und die Zimmer ausgesprochen groß und sehr ansprechend vom Design. Ein besonderes Highlight ist der Wellnessbereich mit einem Poolbereich und einem Saunabereich, in dem sich mehrere Saunen befinden. Stündliche Aufgüsse runden das Saunaerlebnis ab. Der Wellnessbereich kann von den Hotelgästen kostenfrei mitbenutzt werden, ist aber auch öffentlich zugänglich. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet. Nachdenken sollte das Hotelmanagement über die in Rechnung gestellten Parkkosten. Das empfanden wir als kleinlich, bei dem sonst so großzügigen Auftreten des Hotels.

Sehr hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter am Empfang, die auch am Telefon helfen! So bekam ich z. B. auf Anfrage einen Wasserkocher und die Auskünfte, die ich brauchte. Da ich in der Gegend zu tun hatte, war für mich die Lage ideal. Freie Parkplätze gibt es um das Hotel herum wenig, daher ist es besser, dort einen Parkplatz, ggfs. in der Tiefgarage, zu buchen.

Wunderbar! Mein letzter Aufenthalt ist bereits viiiiiele Jahre her, dem Hotel sieht man es aber nicht an. Besonders ist das freundliche, aufmerksame aber unaufdringliche Personal zu erwähnen. Man erkennt, Jedem hier liegt es am Herzen, dass man sich als Gast wohlfühlt, entspannt genießen kann und gern wieder kommt. Nach dem aktuellen Aufenthalt frage ich mich tatsächlich warum es so lange gebraucht hat, dass ich wieder da war, obwohl ich gerade im Winter viele Wochenenden in Hotels mit Spa genieße. Gibts was zu verbessern? Einige Saunen sind je nach Besucherzahl etwas klein und es könnte mehr Duschen geben. Wichtig ist aber das Alles funktioniert hat und es keinen Wartungsstau gab. Ich komme gern wieder, sogar bald.

The location is in Teltow, about 30mins drive to Berlin downtown. And the ground floor of hotel is the restaurant and bar. So a bit noisy if you are a sensitive listener.

It's a very clean and nice place. I camped in a tent and it was very comfortable; it's also a safe place. I hadn't locked the locker where I kept 450 euros and my passport, so for our safety, they took the money and passport from the open locker and returned them to me at the security office.

Leider lag mein Zimmer soweit außen, das das Hoteleigene WLAN nicht bis dahin reichte, dafür war es dort sehr ruhig

Empfang war nicht so gut. Mit offenem Mund Kaugummi kauende Junge Empfangsfrau quälte sich ein Hallo heraus und hat dann die Zimmerkarte ohne Erklärung übergeben. Wurden schon freundlicher empfangen. Frühstück gut. Zimmer sauber. Die Treppenhäuser dürfen nicht genutzt werden außer das an der Rezeption. Daher sehr weite Wege.
