Hotel in zona Warsawer Strasse, Berlino

This is , by far , the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in . Let’s skip all the small things like rudeness of the personnel , lack of guiding signs and zero sound isolation . You can see something like this in many hotels , so I wouldn’t even bother . But when at 4 a.m. the door of you room suddenly opens and somebody walks in (!) , you realize that your choice of hotel was horribly wrong . Fortunately , it was just two drunk guys who missed their door and somehow opened mine with their card key . After realizing their mistake , they just laughed and went away . Without knowing what might come in their drunk heads (they could think that it would be funny to “pay a visit” to a neighbour) , I barricaded my door with chairs , then called the reception . The guy who was on the night shift was the ONLY person in that hotel that actually tried to help me . He apologized immediately , re-encoded my card key and even asked if I would like to change the room . As he already re-encoded the key , I said that there is no need for the change , but , still being nervous that somebody can open the room after I check out (I was staying for only one night) , I asked if somebody can check the room in my presence at 9 a.m. to be sure that there is no any damage done to it . He said it’s ok . Obviously , no one came to check it . At the reception there was another guy who knew nothing and were refusing to communicate pretending he doesn’t know English . After I finally explained him what happened , he asked if something was stolen from me . I said no . And then he replied : “ So what’s the problem then ?” Sure , somebody walking in your room in the middle of the night must be something completely natural . Even it was in the middle of the day , it’s still unacceptable . They call themselves a 3 star hotel , but cannot provide even the basics of safety . Fortunately , this time it end well . But is not your usual “bad hotel” experience . It is a situation that could lead to an actual crime ! I don’t even want to think what could happen if these two guys had bad intentions . Or what if instead of me there was girl or somebody with children . Very sad that I cannot put 0 out of 5 , because even 1 is too much for something like this .

Super spot in una bella parte di Berlino. Vicino a Friedrichshain e super accessibile con treni, tram o autobus verso le altre parti di Berlino. Il giovane ricevitore irlandese è stato utile per l'accesso. È stato bello avere la possibilità di colazione il giorno di check-out perché avevo un volo precoce. L'unica cosa che avrei detto è che più opzioni di succo potrebbe essere lasciata fuori per colazione. 5/5 rimanere e sarò sicuramente tornato l'anno prossimo quando vengo con la mia famiglia.

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.

The hotel is clean, modern and well-staffed. What was missing for us was warmth and the expected level of hospitality. During our 5-day stay, nobody ever said hello, goodbye or communicated in any manner unless we asked a direct question. When I checked out, the only thing the receptionist said was to remind me I had borrowed an electrical adaptor and to return it. I travel frequently and expect hotels to be warm and welcoming. Also, when I checked in I was given no hotel information other than the E25 breakfast hours. I'm sure it's wonderful, but I since only have coffee, there is no reason to pay 25 euros. Because we didn't go to breakfast and the receptionist didn't tell us, we missed many features of the hotel we might have enjoyed. To further our disappointing stay, there was no printed hotel info in our room other than a book about the featured artist. I hate QR codes, but when I scanned the hotel's, it gave sp**** information. The hotel lobby isn't welcoming and I didn't go to the bar until my last night so was unaware of all the things Art'otel would have liked me to know. The magazine was interesting and beautiful. Why isn't there a copy in guest rooms? The local information and maps were available in the breakfast area, but we didn't go there and weren't offered them by hotel staff. One of the reasons I chose the hotel was the pictures of beautiful bathrooms with tubs. Sadly, the website fails to mention that tubs are only available in expensive suites. Our visit, while nice, was overpriced. We paid for hospitality and a good room, but only the room was up to the expected standards. Very disappointing.

La posizione è perfetta!! Alexanderplatz è proprio dietro l'hotel! È conveniente in quanto molte attrazioni turistiche sono raggiungibili a piedi e si trovano molti ristoranti e centri commerciali!! Questa è la scelta migliore se stai pianificando un viaggio breve. La vista era spalancata quindi non ero soffocante ed ero soddisfatto! Lo consiglio! Tuttavia, non c'è il frigorifero in camera... Potrebbe essere più deludente se avete prenotato l'hotel in estate. E le stanze sono molto piccole Il bagno è in vetro trasparente, quindi potrebbe non essere adatto per stare con la famiglia (ci sono delle tende, ma non possono coprire tutto). Se hai intenzione di rimanere a Berlino per un lungo periodo di tempo e non viaggi con una famiglia dello stesso sesso, potresti doverci pensare. Tuttavia, data la posizione perfetta, questo hotel è consigliato a viaggiatori a breve termine!!

Questo è un ottimo hotel vicino ad Alexanderplatz, che è una delle mie zone preferite della città. L'Hauptbanhof è nelle vicinanze, la Fernsehen Tower, un sacco di negozi e cibo! L'hotel include una colazione con qualcosa per tutti. E ci sono anche opzioni di cibi caldi disponibili la sera in cui non hai voglia di uscire. Tutti erano molto cordiali!

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.

Il bagno in camera necessita di un restyling. Pochi piani di appoggio nell'intera stanza, abbiamo usato lo sgabello come comodino. Un giorno hanno dimenticato di sostituire gli asciugamani, hanno tolto quelli usati, ma non hanno messo quelli puliti, siamo tornati tardi e abbiamo usato lo stesso asciugamano in due. Le luci a led nella camera erano staccati dalla cornice e di notte restavano luminescenti anche da spenti. Il comando delle luci sulla testata del letto ha una intensità che può dare fastidio. Si consiglia vivamente di portarsi o chiedere una mascherina per la notte. Per l'asciugacapelli è stato necessario lasciare una cauzione in contanti. Colazione continentale accettabile, senza nessuna mancanza, continuamente rifornita. In camera ci hanno fatto trovare una culla per bambini come richiesto nella prenotazione, senza nessun extra. Pulizia degli ambienti comuni. Ambiente silenzioso. Posizione perfetta. Ottimo il servizio di deposito bagagli.

Le dimensioni della camera sono ok, i camerieri sono molto gentili, la pulizia è buona, la colazione è ok, c'è molta scelta di pane e formaggio, ma il cibo caldo contiene solo uova, funghi e pancetta, e il prosciutto comprende anche pollo e maiale, ma il colore sembra buono. Non troppo fresco. La posizione è sicuramente un vantaggio: se cammini velocemente, puoi raggiungere l'ingresso della stazione centrale di Berlino in cinque minuti. Ci sono molti ristoranti e supermercati nelle vicinanze. Questo hotel può essere considerato un business hotel in Europa. Ci sono molte attrazioni nelle vicinanze, tra cui il Palazzo del Parlamento e la Porta di Brandeburgo, che richiedono dai quindici ai venti minuti a piedi. Si consiglia di acquistare una tessera per i trasporti, che è molto conveniente.

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.
