Holiday Inn Gc Kurfuerstendamm: Great location and breakfast Compare Rates

  • I was looking for comfortable room for 2 in downtown/centre called Charlottenburg and exclusively with parking area for my car. This hotel pleased my needs exactly.

    Hmm... maybe except the price -
    99.00 euros for double room (two European size = quite small beds) and additional 10.00 euros for covered parking seemed to me a little much for a small room esp. in February. Maybe I wasn't objective, I saw twice more expensive hotels nearby and I spent previous night in much better hotel for approx. 35 euros in... Poland.

    But at least the hotel was just
    excellently located in a quiet side street off the world-famous Kurfurstendamm, characterized by exclusive boutiques, restaurants, bars and theatres - all easily reachable on foot from the hotel.

    I was too flexible to find and to book any hotel through internet in advance and too tired to look for any other hotel after midnight when I finally came there. I will hopefully save some euros next time.


    Unique Qualities: Very kind and helpful, English-speaking guy at the reception - he gave us small, handy map of Berlin's centers (yes, centres, Berlin has a few centers!) and transportation map/scheme and he replied to all my questions.

    Great breakfast (included in room price) served in a restaurant on 5th floor from 6.30am - 10.30am. I wasn't hungry till the evening :-). On the other hand I didn't try any German food on lunch, next time...

    Room/bathroom had everything it should: cable TV, phone, hair-dryer etc. Add refrigerator with some drinks (I found there
    traditional... Polish bison vodka: Zubrowka - you can try it, I didn't :-), extra paid.
    The room was small and there was not table there, just small flat space to put my laptop and belongings there. And the light was too poor to read easily small letters on my big Berlin map. Did they try to save on energy?

    Watch for small lift (up to 3 persons unless they have any luggage).

    Kempinski Hotel Bristol Berlin: Great for business
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Excuse, I didn't stay there, try to guess why? But my friend spent there two nights and... days in 2003 and he was very, very satisfied. No wonder, he didn't pay his hotel bill :-), he was on business there.
    The building of the hotel didn't look very interesting for me to be honest. The locals called the hotel shortly "Kempi".


    Unique Qualities: Surely the price: over 300 € for "the cheapest" double room (with breakfast :-) and not per week but per night!

    My friend told me that Kempinski was luxury hotel at great location in the heart of Berlin with great, great food and facilities for business meetings and... Albert Einstein lived there once.

    Grand Hyatt Berlin: Good location for over 200 €

  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Excuse, I didn't sleep there. I was in this newly built hotel for a moment and I can only say that it looked very modern and offers nice looking restaurants. But I am not sure whether it's worth of over 200 € per double room.

    Unique Qualities: A breathtaking view over the rooftops of Berlin from indoor swimming pool (Club Olympus Spa & Fitness) on the top.

    Good location within walking distance of the Berlin Tiergarten, the Mitte district, the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate. The hotel is adjacent to Germany's largest casino, the Arkaden shopping mall and numerous cinemas and restaurants.

    Hotel Adlon: To see and to be seen Compare Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Berlin Hotel Adlon
  • HOTEL ADLON KEMPINSKI BERLIN
  • by matcrazy1
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Excuse, I didn't sleep in this hotel, not for my budget, yet :-). But I can say that the renovated recently building was impressive and its main hall looked very stylish - a place to see, but perhaps more importantly, a place to be seen. I saw page-boys and bellhops dressed in the original red uniforms of the hotel. The full name of the hotel is Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin as it belongs to the Kempinski chain of luxary hotels.

    Adlon was the most luxurious hotel of the Golden Twenties. It was open in 1907, closed in 1970 and re-opened in a new building (the old one was torn down in 1984) at the same place in 1997.


    Unique Qualities: Great location next to the famous Branderburg Gate.
    The most expensive hotel in Berlin and maybe in Germany. I just checked it online: double room starts at 280.00 €, but there is Adlon Executive Suite for 845.00 € as well.

     great page thanx, really can sit for hours on your pages!!

     it isn't enough to hold your camera still because if there are cars, people and other objects moving a long exposure will just streak the whole picture. You need a fast wide angle lens (like 18mm f/1.8) and those are very expensive.

     Great overview and very good suggestions. I'm going to Berlin in two weeks!!!Thanks for sharing.

     Don`t misunderstand me, your page couldn`t be more perfect. But Berlin could.Enough to see the lovely old buildings to be sad about what the War,and than the communist & the similarly horrible actual modern architecture made to this once beautiful city:(
