Hotels Near Siemensdamm in Berlin

The service was good and the staff were consistently friendly and accommodating. A waiter in the restaurant spoke no German, that should be in a hotel already be in Germany. In our opinion, the breakfast was too expensive at €19.50. But a little fish (salmon) would have belonged to it. In a Berlin hotel I actually expect the well-known ”Berliner Schribbe” for breakfast and no paper rolls. Otherwise everything was fine. Nice also the reduced price for the parking lot at the weekend.

While Hotel Villa Kastania, Berlin, is generally a good hotel, I can't recommend it, due to the rude behavior of one of the reception clerks. This behavior spoiled the atmosphere and ruined my mood for my short stay (1 night). This guy (young, with a French beard) was not very courteous and serviceable from the moment I got there. After realizing the hotel has no lobby where you can sit and work with a laptop, I asked to do so in the dining hall (my room wasn't ready yet). He approved, but said I should be sitting next to a Coffee table rather than next to a regular one, as ”the hotel is fully booked and people are coming for breakfast”. Since you cannot really work next to a low Coffee table I asked to sit on a regular one, explaining that people never all come to have breakfast at the same time. He did not like it (and expressed it and his tone) but I did, and guess what - the dining room was almost completely empty the entire morning! But the really severe behavior on his part happened a bit later on. I went out to have Coffee outside, telling the nice and polite waiter of the (empty) dining hall that I'm storing my laptop aside but leaving my charger and mouse on the table, since I'll be back to work there shortly. He approved. When I returned, the reception clerk started talking in a really rude, impolite and improper way to me, almost shouting at me, about how I shouldn't leave my things ”In the restaurant”. I explained that I left it because I was going for a short while, but he continued accusing me of acting the wrong way, as if as a first time guest I have an idea of the hotel's code about leaving things here on there. Even when I told him that I informed the waiter about this he did not calm down. He only calmed down from his raging behavior when I snapped back at him, telling him that he has no right speaking to paying customers like that, that he can't expect a client to know his made up arbitrary rules and that even if someone does something wrong - there's a nice and polite way to point that out, especially when your job his to serve him. A paying client should not be treated like a young kid getting reprimanded by a hotel clerk, who clearly doesn't like his job, doesn't know the meaning of service and has no patience for clients. I NEVER ran in to this kind of behaviour in any hotel I stayed in. Only after talking back to him in this fierce way he started to behave more politely towards me, but he never apologized. During check-out, when he asked if everything was OK and I responded: ”Yes, besides your behavior yesterday” he did not apologize. Therefore, I do not recommend staying at Hotel Villa Kastania, Berlin. A place that employs someone like this, who clearly doesn't know how to treat customers - is not a good pick.

It is a nice, simple hotel. We had a pleasant stay. Well, for the price you can not expect luxury. The rooms were simplely furnished and the facilities were a little used. The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a little simple but good. The disadvantage is that the lift only holds in the middle days, so the hotel is not accessible.The location on a large shopping street and a metro station is cheap, At the same time, the hotel is also well accessible with the car and nearby there are free parking facilities on the street. It is also offered a free private parking space. In general, a cheap but still pleasant stay. Who is looking for a cheap accommodation for a city trip, can accept a few posts and still wish a pleasant stay is right here.

Hotel stands in the stairs. For and behind! The name Arche is not seen from the street In the evening the neighbors are outside and you can understand everything literally. Like the ramble in the kitchen. The room and the corridor smell muff because of the floor cover. There are many spots, the room is spacious, the bathroom is spacious enough, soap and shampoo are available, the furniture is very date-in-date brown, the TV is a computer monitor, there is no ventilator or air-conditioning. The towels are exchanged but once you get 2 small, the other 2 big. 1 towel pp is little at temperatures of 30 degrees inside and outside. The room girl had not turned our room closed. The door was closed but everyone could have walked in because the door was open all day because of the workers outside. When we reported it, the receptionist said: oh, okay. No excuse. It was apparently normal. The breakfast costs 7.50 and is wide enough. Broad, toast, cake, yoghurt and various places. You can take as much coffee, tea or juice as you want. Parking can be for 16 euros pd. in the street it is 14 euros for a day card. Tish a pressing street. There are a lot of dinners, mostly easts, nearby. 24-7 shops. Metro close. Different steps. In short, it is enough but it could be much better.

This is not my first time staying at A&O Berlin. I have been there prior and immediately after the pandemics too. During this time, the quality of the service has been steady and a good one. The staff rather amicable and prompt to help with any issue you may have. Sometimes things do not work as expected (coffee machine, contactless purchases) but they will guarantee your stay is a smooth one. Breakfast is abundant and provide several options. I only wish the coffee could be better, but all in all is not bad. Also, maybe rooms could do with a bit of cheering up colour, besides the ones provided by the curtains. What I like the most about this hostel is the consistency with the chain principles and the fact that you will find all you need for a good stay, even tissues!

I went to this hotel for a mid-week vacation with my lovely daughter. With an UBER it was about 10 Euro to get to the hotel. Check-in was smooth, the older man behind the desk wasnt overly friendly but rather efficient and that was fine. We paid the tourist-tax and got one room-key for our room. We paid online about 80 Euro a night and we got a room with three beds at the back. The room was clean and simple. A desk with a big-screen TV, a shower-room with a toilet and a wash-basin. The shower was ok but we didnt like the shower-curtains. Also the water would be warm for about five minutes but it didnt bother us. Everyday cleaning with new linen and towels. In the morning you can have breakfast but you have to pay for it. We didnt use it. The hotel is set conveniently in the middle of Berlin near Kurfurstenstrasse and Dam. Near the U-Bahn and busses.

On checking in, we were assigned a room, went to our and it had somebody else's suitcase in it. We went back to the reception and got it sorted. But as two tourists who didn't speak the lingo, we were lucky to have a German friend with us to help. However, the staff seemed unconcerned about the error, indicating this might happen as not as much of a one off error as you might like to think. Our friend was also told we were lucky to be given another room as the hotel was overbooked, and we could easily have been told to go elsewhere. With this in mind, I'd recommend not paying in advance, as we don't know how easy it difficult it might have been to get a refund in that situation, especially as we'd used a booking agent not direct. Thankfully the second room we were given was nice, spacious, clean and comfortable but we did feel nervous that someone else might be allocated our room when we were out. That didn't happen, as far as we know. The hotel is conveniently located for access to the city centre, close to various train stations a short walk away and a selection of local shops and restaurants. The breakfast was excellent! Didn't use the gym facilities but they looked good. The hotel bar was well stocked and friendly, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating although it did seem to close early.

I recently visited this hotel with my boyfriend and I was very impressed. We arrived a little before check-in and we were allowed to go to our room. the room was very spacious with an extremely comfy bed and amazing shower. Also on the last day our flight was not for a while and were were allowed to wait in the lobby after checkout which had lovely sofas and seating areas. It was quiet and there were people working in there. The staff were very lobely and was great for the price.

The front desk staff was very accommodating in getting me into my room quite early after an overnight flight. Rooms leave much to be desired. Beds are very tiny - what a toddler would sleep on. Beds are very, very firm. Room and bathroom weren't very clean. I had my 'do not disturb' sign on my door and received a knock from housekeeping. Repeatedly. When I went to the door, thinking the sign must have fallen off, the housekeeper pushed past me, handed me my 'do not disturb' sign and insisted I replace it with the 'clean my room' sign. It is a 20-30 minute drive to city center. The area is questionable for walking around on your own as a female traveler.
