Hotel berhampiran Siemens AG Sector Energy, Berlin

Came in for a 5 day stay, reading about how great and clean this place is. My experience, at least on the 2nd floor, leaves something to be desirerd. The bathrooms have not been touched for some time judging from the 3-4 ft. Of mold growth, toilets that smell and have a dark ring inside, scale/ soap scum buildup on the shower heads and walls (10 cents of vinegar, plastic bag, and some elastic bands would fix the shower heads). No hand sanitizer in the despensers and your shoes stick to the guest kitchen floor- when brought up by a roommate they only replied that it's cleaned everyday even though the sticky mess has not moved since I had arrived? The room was okay. Linens were clean. Honestly the way this place was hyped up does not live up to it at all.

Very convenient location, just 3 mins walk to Main Station. Signed up for member for free and received free city transportation travel card (S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Tram, Bus, VBB). Breakfast at ground floor dining hall with variety of food. We enjoy the button mushroom stew with herbs, croissant is very good as well. Reception are friendly and helpful. No teabag, coffee and kettle in the room. Ground floor have bar, can ask for hot water from there. Room is clean and soundproof is super great even just right beside Main Station.

I chose this hotel as I was touring Berlin with a friend for a few days, but he was arriving a couple of days later than me. This proved to be a great option in terms of budget, distance from the city centre and proximity to public transport. Once you come up the steps from the U-Bahn at Siemenssdamm, it’s immediately to your right. The member of staff in the reception was warm and friendly and spoke very good English as my German is not very good after studying it a little at school 25 years ago. The room was large, very clean, and well-equipped. It was too warm for me, and turning the air con down didn’t help, but the window opens very wide. The bathroom also had a bath which was a bonus. The bed is firm which I really enjoyed, but I appreciate that won’t be to everyone’s liking. I’m sure I requested the room not to be serviced but the maid had been in every day. I didn’t use the TV but the Wi-Fi was a little patchy and slow at times. There is plenty of plug sockets including one near the bed. There was a soft light on the floor lamp and a desk lamp which was great. I had the buffet breakfast one morning, which had a great and varied selection of hot and cold food, this included cereals, bread, cold meats, cheeses, eggs, sausages, fresh juice, tea, and coffee. There is a supermarket across the road open till 10 pm, which was handy to get food for dinner. Yeah, it is quiet, and felt safe. I couldn’t hear any noise from any adjacent rooms. If I’m visiting Berlin in the future on my own, I will probably stay here again.

The hotel is very well located next to a metro station and in front of it there is a bus, M85 that takes you to the main train station. The Turkish place next door offers amazing fresh kebabs. The city tour bus is just 20 min walk or couple of stations ride. The room was clean, the breakfast was having good varieties. The only missing part was the air conditioner, but the weather was good and we could sleep the night without it.

This hotel was a great value. It’s in a fairly quiet neighborhood about five minutes walk to the nearest metro and only four stops from Alexanderplatz on U8 and one stop from the train to get to the airport. There were many nice small kebab shops and coffeehouses nearby. Staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and spacious. I would certainly stay here again.

The accommodation boasts convenient proximity to the metro station, ensuring easy access to transportation infrastructure. Moreover, its cleanliness adds to the overall appeal, enhancing the quality of the living environment.

Prima, dass es jetzt direkt am Terminal 1/2 des BER nun neben dem Steigenberger auch das IntercityHotel gibt. Es wurde erst Mitte Januar 2023 eröffnet. Die Zimmer sind modern, praktisch und chic, wie die in den meisten neuen bzw. renovierten Intercity Hotels. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und engagiert, manche Prozesse müssen sich für ein neues Team sicher noch einspielen. Man ist in ein paar Minuten zu Fuss direkt im Terminal am Check-in, ebenso am Flughafenbahnhof mit Fern-, Regional und S-Bahn-Verkehr. Frühstück gibt es ab Punkt 6:00 Uhr, da geht das Licht im Restaurant an, es gibt ein vielfältiges Frühstücksangebot. Nach meinem nicht so tollen Aufenthalt im danebenliegenden Steigenberger ist das IntercityHotel Airport BER empfehlenswert. Ich hoffe nur, dass Gäste es nicht zu oft mit dem IntercityHotel am Bahnhof Schönefeld verwechseln, die Namensgebung der beiden Hotels ist sicher nicht ganz so toll.
