Review of Grand Hotel Esplanade, Berlin

Radisson SAS Hotel Berlin. An oasis of calm in a bustling city.

Advantages: Stylish hotel in a superb location. Unique feature of huge aquarium in hotel atrium.
Disadvantages: One bed rather than two pushed together would have been nice!

...streets. Situated on Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse in the Mitte district of Berlin, this hotel is superbly situated for sightseeing. The River Spree runs to one side of the hotel and if you leave from the main door and turn right you are just a few metres away from a boarding point for sight-seeing boat trips. You will also be facing the Cathedral (Dom) with its baroque style dome and stunning architecture. Very close at hand is Museum Island and the National Gallery. Continue in this direction and you will be strolling down "Unter den Linden" . This will lead you to the Brandenburg gate - just about 15 - 20 minutes stroll from the hotel. If you were to turn left from the hotel entrance you would reach Alexanderplatz and the TV tower within minutes So what does the hotel offer inside? Well, I have to say that if you are hoping for a taste...

Hotel Albergo - Berlin

Advantages: Quiet, reasonably priced and comfortable
Disadvantages: Not really near anything

...which was just as well as my German is very limited. On the downside you are not really near anything. There is a railway station close by if you want to go into Berlin and there is also a church and a petrol station nearby. I was not disturbed by the trains and found the area very quiet. I had a little walk around the locality and found a bungalow that looked just like the cottage in Hansel and Gretel. The hotel also drops you back to the airport free of charge. I managed to get a very good deal on the Internet and would be happy to return for a peaceful break....

Review of Albergo Hotel Berlin, Berlin

Berlin Mark Hotel

Advantages: Lovely, clean, and tidy
Disadvantages: expensive

...Only stayed in this hotel for 2 nights, but it was lovely and clean and tidy, the en suite was unbelievably clean, the towel were soft and still warm. On arrival to the hotel we were greated by very friendly and welcoming staff who all spoken such good englidh (one of my concerns as i speak no german at all!). we were early for our room so decided to get luch in the bar, which was beautifully cooked, and very cheap (£2 odd) and the Berlin beer served there was also very nice! There is entertainment on there most nights, while we were there there was a caberet, and a singer on, all which really involved the crowd in the bar. the breakfast the following morning was lovely, included all the normal items for a german breakie (bread, cheese etc) but they also had sausage and scambled eggs, which for me was a huge bonus, prefering...

Review of Mark Hotel, Berlin

Marriott Berlin; brand new and bustling

Advantages: Great hotel and well located
Disadvantages: None really

...About the hotel: The Berlin Marriott hotel is a brand new hotel that was opened in 2004 and is located in the Potsdamer Platz in the former eastern side of the city of Berlin. This is a thriving and upcoming part of the new city that offers brand new buildings and modern facilities juxtaposed against remnants of pre-1990s Germany. The hotel offers many of the features of a 4/5-star American chain hotel and would appropriately suit business or leisure travellers and families travelling to Berlin. The hotel is well located and is approximately 11km from Tegel airport, with a taxi ride taking around 20 minutes and the fare costing approximately 18 euros. The nearest U-bahn (underground station) is only 2 minutes away by foot, and the hotel is within close proximity to Checkpoint Charlie, Potsdamer Platz, and the Brandenburg gate...

Review of Marriott Hotel Berlin, Berlin

Berlin! Berlin!

Advantages: Germany's capital and most interesting city
Disadvantages: a bit too large, distances too long

...Berlin*, Berlin, Wir fahren nach Berlin! (Berlin, Berlin, We're heading for Berlin!) (pronounced Ber-leen, stress on the second syllable) This slogan has been chanted enthusiastically for ages whenever a German sports team made it to the capital for the last round, meanwhile it has left the confines of sports and is now even used by the Berlin Tourist Board for a campaign to attract visitors. I've been to four Berlins in my life: when in my mother's womb I was in Berlin, then the capital of the Third Reich, from the GDR (German Democratic Republic), where we later lived, I visited Berlin once in the 1950s, a much smaller city then (only the Soviet sector), but still a capital, the capital of the GDR. After fleeing to West Germany I visited West Berlin, not a capital any more, but no ordinary city, either, it had become...

Review of Berlin (Germany)

Brilliant Berlin

Advantages: A wonderful city
Disadvantages: None

...It is one of my life's ambitions to visit all the capital cities of Europe so I was thrilled when my parents said we could go to Berlin. Berlin is the Capital City of Germany and is located in the north-eastern part of the country. We stayed in Berlin for four nights. That may not sound like a long time but we managed to cram an awful lot of exploring into our time there! I will go through which attractions we visited each day to give you an idea of how long it takes to see the main sights. ~ Day 1 ~ The majority of day one was travelling to Berlin. We flew with easyjet from Newcastle airport. It was late afternoon when we arrived at Schonefeld airport. It took us about an hour to get from the airport to our hotel (Marriott) which was in Berlin City's centre. After unpacking we went for a walk in the immediate area of our hotel...

Review of Berlin (Germany)

A lovely hotel with some dodgy art

Advantages: Fantastic location by the river
Disadvantages: No lift

...The Hotel Hansablick is a three star hotel based in a lovely 100-year old Berlin town house. It has 29 rooms over 4 floors, and was refurbished in 2005. ~~~ Location ~~~ The hotel is set in a quiet residential area right next to the River Spree. It is on the north west corner of the Tiergarten, and only a couple of tube stops to the main shops on Kurfurstendamm. The nearest U-Bahn station is Hansaplatz (approx 4 minute walk) and the S-Bahn station Tiergarten is about a 2 minute walk. Tickets for public transport can be purchased at the reception, although I found it pretty easy to do this directly at the station, despite my limited German. ~~~ Reception ~~~ From the quiet street you enter the hotel through a large door (sometimes open, sometime you have to buzz for entry). This leads to the foot of two flights of stairs...

Review of Hotel Hansablick Garni, Berlin

BERLIN BERLIN BERLIN

Advantages: all
Disadvantages: ---

...of the Anreisestrecke and the number of persons flat. If one comes like me by intercity express train to Berlin, then, one could arrive under circumstances at the station zoological garden which on confessed very much sometimes and is itself a sight. The central station wider far stations are the east station, Berlin-Lichtenberg and on the area of the former Lehrter station soon although Berlin this one is still a construction site, as of 2006 but the great and modern the Berliner will be stations. Of all stations there are very good traffic connections with s and underground to the centre and to all urban areas which the hotel could possibly be. Of course one comes also by car to Berlin. One arrives from the west about the A2 from the south about the A9 or the A13 from the east about the A12 and from the north about the A11 or the A24. I would find...

Review of Berlin (Germany)

Olivaer Apart Hotel - A good base to explore from

Advantages: Excellent value for money
Disadvantages: Basic range of facilities

...The Olivaer Apart Hotel is very reasonably priced and there are some excellent off-peak offers available. It is located just off Olivaer Platz, literally across the road from a bus stop that takes you up the Kurfurstendamm (or you can walk up) and about 5 minutes from the U-bahn at Adenaur. If you are happy getting round the city on public transport this is an excellent hotel. There are a few cafes, bars and restaurants close though not a huge selection (there is no dedicated night life area in West Berlin, you will need to try different areas each night). There is also a supermarket two doors away for water and other snacks. The rooms are quite large but had a small bathroom and are simply furnished with beds, desk, table, chairs and a wardrobe. There is also a satellite TV and mini bar and hairdryers etc can be borrowed...
