Hotel berhampiran Strandbad Schönwalde, Schonwalde

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.

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.

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.

Just stayed here for one night on the way to Scandinavia. It was an excellent place to stay. Arrived early at 12noon from Prague and tried to do early check-in so I can spend the afternoon exploring the city. The reception said I could do this for an extra 15 euros. The room was functional, clean and everything was working well. It is a very convenient to stay near to the train station so thumbs up ! Recommended.

Alles super, das Hotel ist sehr smart, das Personal sehr freundlich. Hätte mir noch einen Wasserkocher auf dem Zimmer gewünscht und die Fahrstuhl Aufteilung ist etwas seltsam.

如果來柏林聽柏林愛樂，推薦住JW萬豪，雖説最佳距離和景觀應該是君悦，且名家設計，但萬豪的價格便宜高達40%，性價比更出色！ 步行10分鐘去柏林愛樂廳，對面是德國抵抗紀念館，旁邊是國家美術館，酒店維護得不錯，lobby很有氣場。區域安全，算是好區。

Amazing hotel with excellent service and amenities. We stayed here for 2 nights and cannot recommend it enough. Amenities excellent with beautiful pool and sauna. Wonderful service from friendly attentive staff nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast is not to be missed. A true gem and would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Berlin as easy access to everywhere in the city. We would not stay anywhere else.

Even if it is far away from center of town, the hotel is well deserved by public transportation, and it offers excellent services - clean and spatious rooms, parking, nice restaurant with a lot of food variety & tasty, conferences rooms.

The style of this hotel was nice although wish we had booked booked a larger room as it was small and a bit cramped including the shower - had to stand in a particular position to avoid water all over the floor. There was a restaurant downstairs that served all day breakfast, was chi chi and nice although food we thought was average although it was packed every day meaning we would have had to wait a long time for a table and it took over the whole lobby meaning nowhere for residents to even sit. Limited restaurant and bar options nearby, wish we had booked another part of town. Hotel was though nicely styled and very good value for money.

Prior to arrival, I ignored the offer to pre-register in response to their email because it was only offered in the German. While the original booking was done in English, a number of correspondences with Urban Loft were in German. On arrival, I was greeted with a machine for check in, which was unsuccessful. Probably no big deal for anyone under the age of 35, but maybe not for other folk. Only when a fellow registrant appealed to an employee passing by, we found out that we could check-in with employees near the restaurant. No signage was present as to that option. The young women there were helpful in getting checked in. Other interactions with staff were all positive and in English. Hotel personnel were always helpful and understanding. They made an effort to make guests feel valued. Upon arrival in my room, I found that only one small bathroom trash can is provided in the bathroom. Maybe good for tampons and cosmetic refuse, but not much else. I could not find a trash can supplied in the main room. Was there one? A safe is provided, but no refrigerator. The bed is comfortable with an ample number of pillows. The room and bathroom are new and modern. And they have the decorative element of the orange dwarf standing on the ceiling. The rooftop area and ground level patio/playground areas are nice for a snack in the fresh air, as there were no smokers there at the time of my visit. The location of Urban Loft is quite good considering it is near the main train station. Grocery stores and a variety of restaurants are nearby. It is on a busy street, but the room is well sound-insulated. The neighborhood is quite new with no historical character and new large scale construction nearby.
