Hotels near Theater des Westens in Berlin

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.

Stayed again, as always good. The room is large and comfortable. The only thing is that the washbasin is too high and too wide, which is a bit inappropriate for Chinese women. They can only wash their faces on tiptoes.

This is a gorgeous spanking brand-new hotel in Berlin. Reception is exceptionally courteous, friendly and accommodating - I couldn't have asked for a better team of associates. The bar staff, breakfast room staff, concierge, and even the maintenance staff are as wonderful. I had a lovely large room with the most comfortable bed & pillows - all in modern, tasteful decor. The room also had amenities such as a mini-fridge, coffee service, waters, robe, and iron and work desk area with accessible power points on top (no bending under the desk here!) Upon arrival & departure I was greeted warmly . This sets the tone for a positive experience and I certainly felt the genuine welcome with pleasant smiles and friendly nature. The hotel is quite accessible to 2 U-Bahn stations, and within walking distance of the Berlin Zoo. Getting around Berlin is fairly easy with a well-integrated underground system of U-Bahn & S-Bahn trains. The hotel is on a quiet road across the Los Angeles Platz small park/square. Everything Berlin has to offer is easily accessible, plus plenty of shopping, dining and outdoor activities within a small perimeter. Vielen Dank für Ihre freundliche Gastfreundschaft!

First impressions were good as our room was ready a good two hours before the advertised 3pm check-in. This was a life-saver as my wife and I were running on empty after a great tour of Germany. The hotel is obviously themed around Hollywood stars: each guest room has a pictured star outside it. Our room was much larger than we expected (having stayed in some much smaller hotels at similar or more expensive price in Germany). It had a fabulous walk-in wet room which doesn't sound like a clincher, but we really appreciated after a day pounding the Berlin streets. The hotel itself is less than a ten minute walk from the Savigny Platz S-Bahn on line S9. The receptionist I spoke to was really helpful pointing out the sites we were interested in on a map. Finally, the breakfast, set in a huge room, had plenty of choice. We'd definitely stay here again when in Berlin.

Excellent luxury hotel with an excellent location. The concierge was very helpful and the entire staff was extremely accommodating and provided first class service. My room, although it was luxurious and the bed super comfortable, did look a bit old, and small for what I expected. The breakfast was great, very varied and with top quality traditional German ingredients and dishes. I especially remember the chefs who explained the ingredients to me and Andreas at the restaurant reception with a great attitude every time he saw us. I highly recommend this hotel , excellent option to visit Berlin

Zimmer im sauberen Zustand, Wasserkocher hat sehr gute Dienste geleistet. Hotel befindet sich in erstklassiger Lage direkt am Ku’damm. Wie haben ein Zimmer zur Straße genommen da zum Hof eine riesige Baustelle ist. Klimaanlage sehr gut. Restaurant direkt im Hotel. Etwas ungewöhnlich, die Rolltreppe die zur Rezeption führt. Betten waren richtig gut. Mir fehlte im Zimmer eine Minibar. Meiner Meinung nach ist es vielleicht vom Preisleistungsverhältnis etwas zu hoch.

We arrived to a friendly welcome at this lovely hotel . Excellent room, well appointed with a modern ensuite bathroom . Breakfast was a well laid out buffet with plenty of choice . Staff were once again very friendly and courteous with pots of tea or coffee served at the table . The hotel was well placed for sightseeing Berlin and we would thoroughly recommend it if that is the purpose of your visit . The foyer has a unique and fascinating light display which is a lovely feature to watch in the evening with a quiet drink . We understand that there is a pool and gym facility but unfortunately we didn't have time to visit that section of the hotel during our three night stay .

No photos here, because it is a friend. Just looked outside. The friend said it was pretty good, the price was quite expensive during the exhibition. It would be better if it could be cheaper. Just saw the double rainbow, luckily.

I have stay diffirI have stayed in several different Accor hotels, but this hotel does not immediately deliver to the Mercure standard and 4 stars. The reception: We experienced from the arrival that the receptionists, it was more like a duty job, more than making the guests feel welcome. When you arrived at the hotel after been out in town , they never said hello, normally when you pass a reception you just get a smile on the way, and possibly a hello, here nothing even if they only look on the screen no reaction. Only on the last day was there one said good morning, i chock little, and when asked when check out, if it was ok, just didn't have the energy to explain that the standard was missing. The breakfast Was nice and delicious especially the first few days when e.g. bacon was crispy and delicious, nothing was missing from the buffet, but the sloppy bacon the last few days could have been better. Cleaning We skipped cleaning after the first night, but ask for an extra roll of toilet paper, there is nothing to do but run out. The rest of the days we had cleaning, and on the last day we had not received an extra roll of toilet paper, unfortunately it was only discovered when it had to be used, which meant visits to the toilet with missing paper as a result. In any case, it can be done better by always having a roll in use and a spare. Maintenance We live in Europe, where you go up in climate and pass on resources such as water and heat, our toilet ran with water the first morning, which I told the reception. She didn't seem particularly interested, but wrote it down. The toilet was also not running when we came back later. But after the first use it ran again. So that's why we chose to have the cleaning done the following days, since thinking green and about the climate was perhaps not that important to the hotel after all.

The good news is that the Illy coffee from the Illy machine in the bedroom is superb. All the rest is bad, and worse. Marriott seems to believe that lots of marble in the bathrooms is the most important ingredient in making a good hotel. They're wrong. The key to running a good hotel is service. And the service at the Hotel Berlin Central District is awful. As usual, my wife and I are traveling for both business and pleasure -- conferences in London and Berlin, a week of tourism in the wilds of Brittany, and a week of seeing friends, visiting art galleries, etc., in Paris. So we are traveling heavy. We need to carry a lot of clothing -- plus the tools for doing business -- multiple laptops, other communications equipment, etc. When we arrived at the hotel, there was absolutely nobody to help us get our stuff from the taxi into the hotel. In fact, during the entire week we were there, there never was anybody in front of the hotel to help anybody with anything -- including when we left. There is no concierge service. We asked the people at the reception desk to help us on a number of concierge-type issues. They were totally untrained to do so. For example, the first night we were there, we asked for recommendations for a restaurant outside the hotel -- within walking distance. We were given a map, with a circle drawn around an area near Potsdamer Platz. We walked there and found a collection of fast-food joints, such as Burger King, and a couple of pizzerias. She might have asked us if that was what we had in mind. It wasn't. On another occasion, I asked for help in finding a pharmacy. It took the lady about 20 minutes to find the name of a pharmacy and to print out a Google map showing Potsdamer Platz, with an arrow showing where the pharmacy was supposed to be. I wandered around the area for a bit, found nothing, and asked a taxi driver who was parked in a queue. He stared at the map, pulled out his cell-phone, plugged in the German word for ”apothecary”, and showed me where it was. The arrow was in the wrong place. On a number of occasions, I tried to call the reception desk from our room. Nobody ever answered the phone -- with one exception. After ten minutes of waiting, somebody picked up the phone -- and immediately hung up on me. Once again, the Illy coffee is brilliant. But the first day we were there, we were provided two capsules of regular coffee and two capsules of de-caffinated. My wife and I both like real coffee and lots of it. So we asked the people at reception to tell whomever that we would much prefer getting four capsules of real coffee. We also left a note (in German) for the cleaning crew telling them the same thing. The next day we got two capsules of real coffee and two of decaffeinated. I reminded the lady at reception. The following day, we got two capsules of decafinated and one of real coffee. And things got worse from there. After a couple of days, we ran out of Kleenex tissues in the bath room. I left the
