Hotel in zona Free University of Berlin, Berlino

Pet- and tourist-unfriendly place. My latest experience very much resembled extortion. I was charged 100 euro for dog’s fur on the bedsheets and 150 euro for dog’s fur on the floor (the hotel representative had to put quite an effort into scraping some with her shoe) and an approx 0,5 mm brown-ish spot on the carpet which they claimed to be “blood” (considering that there was an approx 5 cm black stain on the carpet as of my checkin which hotel apparently didn’t see as something of an issue to me as a guest). I used to like this hotel (despite being placed on several occasions in rooms with obvious sewage issues), until I stayed there with my dog. I presented my dog at the reception at the checkin (that is the receptionist saw the dog). Paid 15 eur per day pet fee and proceeded to the room. No additional rules, policies or verbal requests were presented to me. My dog damaged a pouffe which I informed the hotel about at the checkout and happily paid whatever was asked of me (200 eur). In addition to that I was demanded to pay 100 eur for some fur on bedsheets and 150 eur for some fur on the floor as mentioned above. No oficial price list was presented. No explanation why 15 eur a day pet fee wasn’t covering washing blankets and vacuuming floor was provided, all my questions or logical arguments were ignored. The team of hotel representatives generously offered me a 50 eur discount on cleaning (which I didn’t ask for) only confirming that the amounts weren’t based on any actual price list, because if the hotel really suffered a loss of 250 eur why would they “gift” me 50 eur. I considered it to be an extortion and suggested to call the police. When I came back after 15 min the hotel still hadn’t called the police. As I had an urgent matter and had to leave, I paid the hotel whatever its staff demanded. I think what actually happened is the hotel staff had accidentally or recklessly placed us in a no-pet room (as there was a carpet, unlike in some other rooms. I was placed into that room after finding out the one I was initially given smelt of sewage - repeatedly happened before). And instead of charging their staff, they’ve charged me, so that they can do (if they actually do) for some deep cleaning after an animal to make it suitable again for people with allergies. Staff’s rudeness and ill attitude with me as a client weren’t in line with the hospitality filed’s even moderate standards. Most customers might find this hotel pleasant - which it is, until it is no longer.

Anche la camera doppia confortevole era molto spartano e piccolo. Non si sente bene. Molto negativo a causa del caldo clima gay era la mancanza di aria condizionata in una stanza al terzo piano verso sud. Pertanto, nonostante il ventilatore fornito dalla ricezione, non si poteva pensare a un sacco di sonno. Poiché la stanza era diretta verso il lato meridionale (indietro), era molto tranquilla, che purtroppo era solo un po' di conforto. Il colazione è stato rinunciato, il parcheggio nel garage centrale costò 10 euro per notte.

Cosa dire? Le camere erano buone e confortevoli 🙋‍♀️. La ricezione è un po' abituata 🥴 La colazione è molto cattiva 🤮. È promossa con sostenibilità e si ottiene cose imballate. Il personale non è stato in grado di fare un buon lavoro. Nessun bicchiere, coltelli, uova.... È sempre stato necessario chiedere. L'uovo era liquido 🤮 142 iscrizione a 42 posti a sedere. 🧐🧐🧐 Ecco, ogni alloggio o pensione è meglio dotato. Come si può chiamare solo hotel con presunti ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Questo include più di 400 euro per 3 persone 🥲 Molto costoso per il cattivo servizio. 🥲

Possiamo consigliare questo hotel a causa della comoda posizione a Dreilinden vicino all'autostrada da Potsdam a Berlino e della ricezione 24 ore. Questo hotel Ibis è al contrario dell'hotel B&B a Dreilinden. Parcheggio è di 3 euro al giorno. Oltre all'hotel c'è una stazione di gas e un Mac Donalds. La nostra stanza sul pavimento era di base e alcuni mobili erano danneggiati. Era molto tranquillo, ma i letti erano buoni. Il checkin era facile e veloce. Questo era quello che cercavamo. L'hotel si trova a circa 15 minuti dalla parte occidentale di Berlino.

L'hotel è situato in un'incantevole posizione e quando arrivi alla reception per il check-in, rimani incantato a guardare fuori dalle vetrate. Peccato che ci abbiano assegnato delle camere nella dependance che è sì collegata da un tunnel sotterraneo alla struttura principale ma manca di magia e di una bella vista. Il parcheggio è gratuito e la colazione di ottima qualità.

Ich bin von Samstag bis Dienstag im B&B Berlin City West untergebracht. Positiv zu erwähnen sind die bereits vollzogenen Renovierungsarbeiten, die neu im B&B-Stil eingerichtete Zimmer und das sehr gute und ordentliche Frühstück. Das Hotel verfügt eigentlich über zwei Aufzüge, wobei der erste bereits bei Anreise außer Betrieb war mit der Bemerkung ”hat noch nie funktioniert und wird wohl auch nie mehr repariert werden”. Mit dem anderen konnte ich samstags noch in den 5. Stock fahren und einmal noch nach unten. Seit Samstag Nacht ist auch der einzig funktionale Aufzug außer Betrieb und man muss zum Teil bis in die 6. Etage zu Fuß gehen (ich zunächst bis in die 5. und nach Umzug jetzt bis in die 4.). Die Reparatur des Aufzugs scheint keine Eile zu haben und ein Manager ist auch nicht zu sprechen bzw. lässt sich verleugnen. Das Hotel bietet keinerlei Kompensation für den vorhandenen Missstand an und verweist immer nur darauf, eine eMail an eine fiktive B&B-Adresse zu schreiben. Des weiteren scheint das Reinigungs-Personal nicht bzw. nur unzureichend bis sehr schlecht geschult zu sein. Trotz ”Bitte nicht stören”-Schild an der Türe stand am Morgen um 08.20 Uhr nach ein paar Mal klopfen, was ich noch schlafender Weise erst spät gehört hatte, einfach eine männliche Reinigungskraft im Zimmer. Eine absolute Frechheit und auch ein absolutes No-Go!!! Beschwerden vor Ort werden abgebürstet oder mit den ewig selben Floskeln, welche auch online bereits zu lesen waren, abgetan. Management ist nicht zu sprechen. Derzeit sollte man sich noch gut überlegen, ob man sich das wirklich alles antun will. Ich habe es nach der ersten Nacht aus Bequemlichkeit leider versäumt auszuchecken und das Hotel zu wechseln. Wenn auch die Aufzüge mal funktionieren, das Personal besser geschult ist und auch kompetente Ansprechpartner vor Ort wären, könnte es mit dem Hotel auch mal was werden. So dann doch wieder lieber andere B&B's oder wieder in The Niu-Hotels.

By the time this incident happened, I have already completed a 4 days stay in the hotel and was willing to increase my stay. For that purpose, I went to Mrs. Hausweld and asked to please consult the availability and the price of the rooms for extra nights. In response, I was told that the final price, including the city tax for 3 additional nights would be 350 euros with breakfast included. Consequently, I was willing to go along with that reservation and requested to pay by card. Afterward, then Mrs. Hausweld offered me the POS terminal to go along with the payment, and the amount ascended to 419 euros. Due to that unexpected difference, I kindly asked for an explanation and was told that 419 euros were the final price, and if I was not happy with it I would need to leave the hotel immediately. As a result, I kindly refused to pay that amount and asked her to please consult the price for two nights instead of three. In response to that, the front desk manager told me that no more rooms were available for me and that I needed to check out now and leave the hotel. Following that conversation, I went on Booking.com and reserved a room for the same days, without breakfast, and surprisingly rooms were still available. Next, I went to the front desk and asked to please pay for my booking Mrs. Hausweld looked at me in an unfriendly manner and told me she could not find any reservation. After 5 minutes of searching, she could finally open my booking. Then, although I already provided a credit card in my booking, she asked me to show it to her because she was not believing that it was not mine. I answered that the card was in effect mine and offered her to have a look, but it did not have any numbers on it. So she got ahead to request me to write down my credit card details, including the CVV code, on a piece of paper as ”a security”. Afterward, I was asked again by her if I would like breakfast or not, despite I selected the no breakfast option on booking.com. A moment later I was offered the POS terminal to pay by card, which stated an amount 30 euros higher that the price I booked the room for on this site. Due to the reoccurrence of the same, previous situation again, I refused to pay and respectfully asked her why the price was higher again. Mrs. Hauweld answered in a very disrespectful manner that I asked her to have breakfast included and that I was confusing her again. After that situation, I kindly asked them to speak with her supervisor. She answered, that she had no supervisor and was the only person working in the hotel for the whole weekend. That experience left me in complete disbelief of her professionality and her being in that important role in the hotel. However, despite that bad experience with that particular staff member, I would like to note that the other front desk managers were very friendly and helpful at all times.

L'Estrel Berlin è un hotel impressionante. Le camere sono spaziose e confortevoli. Il servizio è professionale e precondizionato. Il buffet per colazione offre una vasta selezione di cibi deliziosi. La posizione dell'hotel è conveniente, vicino ai mezzi di trasporto pubblico e alle attrazioni. In generale, un hotel consigliabile per un piacevole soggiorno a Berlino.

Ho visitato recentemente questo hotel con il mio ragazzo e sono stato molto impressionato. Abbiamo arrivato poco prima dell’iscrizione e ci è stato permesso di andare in camera nostra. La camera era molto spaziosa con un letto estremamente confortevole e una doccia sorprendente. Anche l'ultimo giorno il nostro volo non era per un po' e avevano il permesso di aspettare nel lobby dopo l'uscita, che aveva bellissimi divano e posti a sedere, era tranquillo e c'erano persone che lavoravano. Il personale era molto lodevole e grande per il prezzo.
