Hotel berhampiran Schloss Britz, Berlin

Für zwei Nächte an einem langen Wochenende haben wir uns das IBB Berlin Airport ausgesucht - vor allem, weil es das letzte Hotel mit verträglichen Preisen war. Das Hotel liegt etwa 12 Minuten Fußweg von der Haltestelle Schöneweide entfernt. Der Weg ist eben und flach. Eine Straßenbahn (27/67) fährt von Schöneweide aus bis direkt vor den Hotel-Eingang. Von Schöneweide aus gibt es reichlich Verbindungen zum Flughafen und in die Stadt. Bis in die Stadt, z.B. Potsdamer Platz, ist man allerdings mindestens eine halbe Stunde bis Stunde unterwegs. Im direkten Umfeld des Hotels gibt es absolut gar nichts von touristischem Interesse: Keine Bars, Kneipen, Clubs, Restaurants, Imbisse, Dönerbuden, Supermärkte, Kioske, Spätis. Das ist alles an der Haltestelle Schöneweide. Das Hotel ist ein flacher, langer Klotz mit Zimmern auf beiden Seiten eines Flurs. Die Zimmer sind schlicht und funktional eingerichtet: Bett, große Ablage, Hocker, zwei kleine Nachttische, eine kleine Schrankwand. Das Bett ist relativ hart, und wir fanden es etwas klein. Das Zimmer lässt sich durch große Vorhänge zwar abdunkeln, es wird aber nicht ganz dunkel, da auf beiden Seiten vor den Fenstern Lampen stehen. Bei geschlossenen Fenstern wird es relativ still, bei geöffneten Fenstern muss man mit mittlerem Verkehrslärm rechnen. Lauter ist es vom Flur her: Die Zimmertüren fallen auf den letzten fünf Zentimetern laut krachend zu, so dass teilweise die Wände wackeln - und so ab acht oder neun hört man das dauerthaft. Neben dem Bett gibt es Steckdosen und individuelle Nachtischlampen. Auch an der Ablage gibt es eine Steckdose. Das WLAN fanden wir stabil und schnell, der Speedtest sagt 50 MBit. Video-Calls waren unterbrechungsfrei möglich. Die Zimmer haben keine Klimaanlage, und wurden selbst im Mai schon relativ warm. Das Bad ist mittelgroß, und mit einer relativ großen Dusche ausgestattet. Am Spiegel gibt es eine große Ablage, sonst gibt es im Bad keine Ablagen. Den Wasserdruck fanden wir gut, die Temperatur blieb stabil, war jedoch eher warm als heiss. Die Dusche hat eine Handbrause, wir haben es jedoch nicht geschafft, diese zu aktivieren. Da die Dusche offen ist, findet sich danach ein wenig Wasser auf dem Bad-Boden wieder, man muss ein bisschen aufpassen. Bad und Zimmer waren sehr sauber, alles Mobiliar in Ordnung. Das Personal ist freundlich und zugänglich. Wir würden rein vom Hotel hier erneut übernachten, und es auch für Flughafen-Anfahrten berücksichtigen - für die Lage am Rande von allem ziehen wir jedoch einen Stern ab.

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.

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.

This was a very good location in Berlin. I was able to walk around safely and get to some great places I wanted to visit, and there's plenty of restaurants in the area and a train, too. The room was clean and in good shape, and they offered a reasonable price. The staff was very nice and helpful, as well.

Although the location and price for this hotel is great, the rooms themselves were disappointing. When entering the room for our first night I was immediately concerned about the room, with some wall fittings falling off, what seemed to be a lack of smoke alarm, one small bedside lamp and a tv relatively small and far from the bed along with only one alternative chair. Despite these shortcomings the room is quite spacious and beds relatively fine, with somewhat good soundproofing on the windows to stop the noise of the busy streets. Although these negatives would have been outweighed by the positives, we also had no room cleaning our entire 6 night stay which was highly disappointing. We would be awakened by the cleaners relatively early in the morning however usually we slept through this first attempt to clean. Most hotels would assume someone is asleep and come back and clean after they have gone about their day however this did not occur for our entire trip duration. To make matters worse we had no toilet roll replacements and had to source our own. In addition, on our 5th night they did Infact enter our room, they did Not take our overflowing bin, towels from the specified pick up area, change our sheets or make our beds or clean any portion of the room as expected of them. All they did was give us toilet roll. Very disappointing considering the ideal location for the hotel and the price.(although much cheaper than anywhere else in the area so some disappointment to be expected)

Exceptional location in the heart of Berlin. With luxurious accommodations, impeccable service, and prime location near major attractions, it offered us a memorable stay. The hotel's elegant design, world-class amenities, and attention to detail. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, the JW Marriott Berlin is the best and I will definitely stay here again…

This hotel has had a revamp and is now called the Art Hotel, Park Plaza. There is another Park Plaza nearby…..we ended up there first! So don’t get confused!! Once you find this hotel….we arrived on the day of a national strike… it’s fab. Ignore the journey planner…. This hotel is a less than 10 min walk from the western end of the U1 line. The room we had was on 5th floor on a quite busy street, but it was so quiet we didn’t realise it until we looked out of the window the following morning. The bed and pillows were so comfortable, a great night sleep was had by us both. Shower was a big rainfall type with a smaller head shower head option if you wanted. Complimentary Elemis shower gel, hand wash, as well as body lotion. Breakfast was worth every penny as part of your B&B option. Otherwise it’s €18 for a full option or €5 for coffee and a croissant in the bar. Breakfast was fresh, pastries, cheese, meats, toast, mushrooms, sausage, bacon, pancakes, cereals, yoghurts; you could make your own fresh juice from fresh veggies & fruits. Coffee was excellent (I was told)…. I took my own teabags as I am very fussy, and made great tea. There is a spectacular hot water urn……that is very ornate and was awesome. Staff were multilingual and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very insightful about the local area, and the available public transport options. I would highly recommend this hotel which has pop art throughout. We are planning to head back to visit Berlin again and we will most certainly stay here again.

The hotel is excellent in all ways except for the lack of air-conditioning during a May stay when it was warm. It is right next to Berlin airport Terminal 2 - follow signs for Airport City! The check-in lady was friendly and efficient. Breakfast was great and the room was clean, with comfortable beds and excellent bathroom facilities. Would have given it 5 stars except for the air-conditioning issue.

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.

On checking in, we were assigned a room, went to our and it had somebody else's suitcase in it. We went back to the reception and got it sorted. But as two tourists who didn't speak the lingo, we were lucky to have a German friend with us to help. However, the staff seemed unconcerned about the error, indicating this might happen as not as much of a one off error as you might like to think. Our friend was also told we were lucky to be given another room as the hotel was overbooked, and we could easily have been told to go elsewhere. With this in mind, I'd recommend not paying in advance, as we don't know how easy it difficult it might have been to get a refund in that situation, especially as we'd used a booking agent not direct. Thankfully the second room we were given was nice, spacious, clean and comfortable but we did feel nervous that someone else might be allocated our room when we were out. That didn't happen, as far as we know. The hotel is conveniently located for access to the city centre, close to various train stations a short walk away and a selection of local shops and restaurants. The breakfast was excellent! Didn't use the gym facilities but they looked good. The hotel bar was well stocked and friendly, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating although it did seem to close early.
