Best Hotels near in petto by Hempel, Berlin

Worst Service i have ever experienced. Hotel was pre paid through 3rd party booking service, upon arrival in the Self check in counter I had to pay for the full reservation again. Since it was late and we needed our room I chose to pay and deal with it later. When confronting the front desk I was met by 2 arrogant guys who couldn't care less to help with the problem and told me that they only had an invoice from the 3rd party booking. I showed them my mastercard transaction and said that they could check the Lobby camera to see that exact time on the check in day I would be in the lobby entering my card details on the Check in Ipad but no help was provided. Afterwards I contacted the Hotel through website with no response so I have just been left with paying twice for a hotel room. I am for sure never using Seminaris ever again.

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.

The surrounding area is a bit remote, but there is a pool in the room to wash, much better than the average bathroom room.

Good hotel, reasonable, great location and attentive staff. Breakfast is very generous, so pay for that. room was small, but had a desk and full bathroom and double bed, what else could you ask for. View was a parking lot but it also meant that it was quiet. Hot water pressure and internet speed were both good. Bathroom showed its age a little, but was fine.

This hotel has had a revamp and is now called the Art Hotel, Park Plaza. There is another Park Plaza nearby…..we ended up there first! So don’t get confused!! Once you find this hotel….we arrived on the day of a national strike… it’s fab. Ignore the journey planner…. This hotel is a less than 10 min walk from the western end of the U1 line. The room we had was on 5th floor on a quite busy street, but it was so quiet we didn’t realise it until we looked out of the window the following morning. The bed and pillows were so comfortable, a great night sleep was had by us both. Shower was a big rainfall type with a smaller head shower head option if you wanted. Complimentary Elemis shower gel, hand wash, as well as body lotion. Breakfast was worth every penny as part of your B&B option. Otherwise it’s €18 for a full option or €5 for coffee and a croissant in the bar. Breakfast was fresh, pastries, cheese, meats, toast, mushrooms, sausage, bacon, pancakes, cereals, yoghurts; you could make your own fresh juice from fresh veggies & fruits. Coffee was excellent (I was told)…. I took my own teabags as I am very fussy, and made great tea. There is a spectacular hot water urn……that is very ornate and was awesome. Staff were multilingual and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very insightful about the local area, and the available public transport options. I would highly recommend this hotel which has pop art throughout. We are planning to head back to visit Berlin again and we will most certainly stay here again.

Gay billed hotels should try more not to make guests feel that they accept second best! Rooms billed as something different were in fact impractical and dark. The only clothes rail was too high for me at 5’7” to comfortably reach, and positioned over one of the useable surfaces meant clothes were pulled down in an awkward way. This resulted in a wine glass being broken. I reported immediately. It seems I was charged €5! No notification just taken from my account. How churlish! Open bathroom lacking privacy, with the only hooks in the toilet! No rails for wet towels!? NO tea or coffee facilities whatsoever except for breakfast. Never experienced that before anywhere in the world in all styles of hotel!! I reported what appeared a security breach with a person appearing under the influence of substances knocking on random doors one evening, ours twice in succession. Not only no report back despite asking, not even passed on to successive shift reception staff, who knew nothing about my earlier report! Overall staff were pleasant but reserved and not exceptionally friendly. Often either away from the desk, sometimes waiting 5-10 minutes after ringing bell, or eating at the desk, very unprofessional. Breakfast staff no smiles or friendliness, no welcome. Overall a disappointing stay, which I would not repeat or recommend unfortunately.

We arrived at this hotel late evening. Check in was fast and efficient. We booked 2 rooms between the 3 of us. The room I was in had a lounge area. A bedroom and bathroom. It was very clean but basic. My friends room had a kettle and drinks facilities in theirs. The room was warm and the bedding/towels was immaculate. The bathroom was small but enough for what I needed. In reception there is a 24hr bar/lounge which has lovely. Latte’s was3E each and had a basic menu in the evening of various pizza’s which I think was 7E. The staff was very friendly nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was 10E buffet style. Plenty of choice from continental to cooked breakfast of bacon scrambled eggs and little sausage like balls. A little out of the way of you want to visit the Christmas markets. We went to 2 and used taxis only because we was 1st time visitors and didn’t have loads of time. I would visit this hotel if I returned to Berlin for a weekend

We were at the ”Hotel Anna 1908” (Steglitz) - Büsingstraße 1 -- for two weeks. Very upscale and swanky. Pleasant staff, very clean, very tidy. Lotsa of under-the-trees outside tables. Made ice for our Camparis-and-Sodas. The parking garage across the Bornstraße -- the cross street -- boasted a Mercedes-AMG S63 coupe -- MSR prices STARTING at $174,150. I convinced Lor that the color was ALL wrong. Phwew. Oh, and also a late-model Ferrari with a transparent engine cover - a F360 Modena, perhaps. When they moved it, they revved it. A lot! Parking must be lucrative. Turns out that there were/are loads of good eating joints within strolling distance ... we didn't get a renta-car.! And a ”Rewe” market with a wide array of red European wines and inexpensive ”Campari”, i.e., $13 a pop. ”Skoal!” ”Prost!” ”Cheers!” ”Ganbei!” Around the corners were the ”Forum Steglitz” and huge ”Boulevard Berlin” ... sorta like malls. Plus the ”Walter -Schreiner-Platz” U-Bahn station. Sells ticket store beer on Sunday, BTW, FYI, FWIW (a lot ... ).

sadly we have very bad experience with The receptionist The receptionist behaved with us in a very very very disrespectful manner. This happened on Saturday night at 2:30 am The hotel door was locked and we were outside in the cold weather for a time Then he prevented me from taking my girl to her room, even though I told him that I would not stay here and that I would leave in five minutes, Then he refused to sit my girl in the lobby and asked us to leave or he would call the police and started threatening us in a manner without respect and screaming as if we were in his house and not in a respectable 4-star hotel !!!!! Then I asked him to call the manager but he yelled at me and told me that he is the manager and he does not have a manager Then he started repeating words in a strange language, maybe Hindi or Arabic, as if he was cursing us If he was able to erase this complaint from the e-mail, we will send it to several other places and we will put it in the description on the Internet and in booking and in all places because we do not accept to pay and book for a room in a respectable hotel and receive insult instead of a good word and good behavior He must learn to speak with customers with respect and tact and Etiquette ..I am a teacher and my girl is a marketing director. If he requested an extra amount, we would not refuse to accept and pay him I am sure the management of Hotel they will do something for keep the customers and people with good trea**ent and good services
