Hotel berhampiran EXPOHALLE URBAN BANKS Berlin, Berlin

We spent 3 nights in the hotel, from june 14 to june 17 in the hopes that we could rest and sleep a little longer than we usually do on a working day. Instead, we woke up at 9:00 on our first morning (june 15) to the sound of hammering and repairments. We tried to ignore it, like it's a one time thing. The second morning, again at 9:00 but this time to drilling sounds. We count take it anymore so we called the reception to ask them whats going on, why cant this be done at least around noon, so we can properly rest in the hotel, that adverrtises itself as ”Ibis Styles Berlin Treptow provides quiet, comfortably equipped rooms and conference facilities.” (Quoted from ***********). The receptionist just told us, that at least its not 6 in the morning, 9 should be enough for everyone to rest, and thats it. No info was given about these reparations on any site (accor, ***********, etc). On booking, it only warns about the restaurant not working which I think its not as important to know as having to listen to a drilling sound in my room in the morning. The elevator shaft is on the 9th floor, and they didnt care to warn anyone by email or in person, that these rooms are going to hear these repairs more (or they didnt consider not renting those rooms in this period). This is were I want to also state, that there were no infos given on the fact, that there is a whole construction happening right next to the hotel, of an actual skyscraper or similar sized building. Its not super loud, but you can hear it with windows closed. Also, the sink was not working, and I wonder, how the cleaners did not notice it (tip: they didnt clean it, as it would have filled up instantly if they did). When we left, another receptionist asked us how our stay was, and we explained everything to him. His reply was, I quote: ”we are really sorry, but our manager has been really busy with a lot of things, so he couldn't make time to update the webpage/booking.com” which I find kind of a pointless thing to ad. I think properly informing your paying customers regarding what they will get for their money should be priority number 1, since your whole business is built around those people paying for your service. Anyways, as we told him too, if we knew about the elevator having to be fixed at 9 o'clok for 2 of the 3 days we stayed there, we wouldn't have chosen that hotel. Following this, we wrote an email to Accor, but Ibis replied instead (with accor in cc at least) wich I will add as an image, but I want to extract this part: ”We cannot stop the construction work as it is urgent. We can't close the hotel for that either. 9 am in the morning on a normal working day is a reasonable time and normal working hours agreed with the hotel manager. We are sorry that you could not sleep in longer than 9 o'clock and therefore did not have a pleasant stay. However, we very much hope for your understanding that we cannot do anything about the current circumstances either.” We replied

Holi City Apart Hotel Berlin impressed with its prime location near transit and attractions. The spotless rooms and common areas showcased meticulous attention to cleanliness. Friendly staff provided excellent service, while well-equipped kitchenettes and fast Wi-Fi enhanced comfort. The fitness center and rooftop terrace were welcome amenities for unwinding after exploring the city.

I recently visited this hotel with my boyfriend and I was very impressed. We arrived a little before check-in and we were allowed to go to our room. the room was very spacious with an extremely comfy bed and amazing shower. Also on the last day our flight was not for a while and were were allowed to wait in the lobby after checkout which had lovely sofas and seating areas. It was quiet and there were people working in there. The staff were very lobely and was great for the price.

Perfect location to stay while in Berlin. My wife and I booked not knowing its right across the street from the last remaining section of the Berlin Wall. Bonus! The hotel is very clean, has friendly service and is priced better than any surrounding hotels. The breakfast was excellent and the room was cleaned daily. The location is teriffic, nearby to a subway station to get around the city. There's some bad data out there regarding parking: You have 3 options. 1.) €17 in a parking garage right next to the hotel. 2.) €10 at the East Side Mall, a 5 minute walk away. 3.) Free, near the wall but its location is unknown. East Side Mall was our preference. No need to look anywhere else. Book it!

I have stayed here twice now and have no major complaints! The location is great, right in the train station and only two stops from the city centre. The hotel also give you a travel pass to use on all public transport for the duration of your stay - AMAZING! This is a huge money saver. The rooms are a good size and ours had a fridge. The window opens well to ventilation. The staff are super friendly and helpful! This is a great hotel for money value. We will for sure be back!

It’s a really nice location and great service. However, better be aware with the strangers inside the room as my room experienced a guy who came in without a card and the next day some of our roommate lost their thing. Besides, it’s still a great hostel, I met lots of great friends there, especially if you are alone, it’s a really great opportunity to hangout with others.

Everything without a problem. Good breakfast. Elevator. Only a few parking spaces. You can park on the street. Pleasant surroundings of single-family houses. Perfect for a short stay. Quiet, no parties.

The hotel is clean, modern and well-staffed. What was missing for us was warmth and the expected level of hospitality. During our 5-day stay, nobody ever said hello, goodbye or communicated in any manner unless we asked a direct question. When I checked out, the only thing the receptionist said was to remind me I had borrowed an electrical adaptor and to return it. I travel frequently and expect hotels to be warm and welcoming. Also, when I checked in I was given no hotel information other than the E25 breakfast hours. I'm sure it's wonderful, but I since only have coffee, there is no reason to pay 25 euros. Because we didn't go to breakfast and the receptionist didn't tell us, we missed many features of the hotel we might have enjoyed. To further our disappointing stay, there was no printed hotel info in our room other than a book about the featured artist. I hate QR codes, but when I scanned the hotel's, it gave sp**** information. The hotel lobby isn't welcoming and I didn't go to the bar until my last night so was unaware of all the things Art'otel would have liked me to know. The magazine was interesting and beautiful. Why isn't there a copy in guest rooms? The local information and maps were available in the breakfast area, but we didn't go there and weren't offered them by hotel staff. One of the reasons I chose the hotel was the pictures of beautiful bathrooms with tubs. Sadly, the website fails to mention that tubs are only available in expensive suites. Our visit, while nice, was overpriced. We paid for hospitality and a good room, but only the room was up to the expected standards. Very disappointing.

Area is nice and close to our favourite places. Rooms are small without fridge. Air conditioner is good enough. One night it was an alarm at 3am. Notifications was in German. People came out. None of us knew what the matter is because we don't understand German. We were confused and didn't know where the fire exit is. We were at the middle of the stairs that one of the gusts came back and said it was fire in the kitchen. It's sorted now!

A very affordable option that you should look at if you do not mind the distance. It is right outside of the main city, but it’s clean and safe, there’s a fantastic local pub down the road.
