Hotels near Cecilienpassagen, Berlin

Wer das Hotel bucht, der weiß eigentlich, dass kein großartiger ”Luxus” zu erwarten ist. So auch hier im ibis budget Berlin Hoppegarten. Allerdings war ich doch wenig erfreut über das, was eigentlich einfach sein sollte, nämlich ein wenig mehr auf Sauberkeit zu achten. Gleich als erstes fielen mir dicke Staubschwaden an der Wand vor der ”Pseudo-Klimaanlage” (wird unten noch erläutert) auf. Eigentlich unübersehbar und mir echt schleierhaft, dass eine Reinigungskraft diese einfach mal so ignoriert. Ein weiterer Punkt war der Teppichboden, der reichlich versifft und an den Rändern heftig verstaubt rüberkam. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie man ein stark frequentiertes Hotel mit textiler Verlegeware austatten kann. Leider war auch am Kopfende des Bettes eine mit Teppich bezogene Kante, die stark verstaubt war... - eigentlich direkt neben meinem Kopf und darüber hinaus die einzige Ablagefläche für eine Uhr oder ein Handy, wenn man dafür nicht den Fußboden nutzen wollte. Die Fernbedienung des TV war klebrig und verstaubt und wurde meinerseits erst mal einer Reinigung mit Feuchttüchern unterzogen. Die Duschkabine und die Toilettenkabine waren komplett aus Kunststoff und recht wenig ”kuschelig”, also genauso, wie man es aus Hotels dieser Art kennt, aber so etwas weiß man. Schmutz etc. konnte ich nicht erkennen, alles dort soweit gut. Vor allen Dingen hat mich der Wasserdruck begeistert, der aus dem Duschkopf kam und wirklich ganz hervorragend war. Nix zu meckern... :-) Das Thema Handtücher müsste noch mal geübt werden. Ich hatte (als Einzelperson) zwei Duschtücher und zwei Badvorleger. Was ich vermisst habe, war ein ganz normales Handtuch. Eines der Duschtücher habe ich als Mücken-Jagdinstrument verwendet, da ich von diesen fliegenden Plagegeistern mehr als genug im Zimmer hatte. Für Gesicht und Hände habe ich daher einen der Badvorleger missbraucht. Die Klimaanlage hätte ich gut gebrauchen können, diese machte aber (selbst auf höchster Stufe) nur Laufgeräusche, jedoch gab es keinen entsprechenden Output. Ich hatte sie daher komplett ausgestellt. An einem Tag hatte ich das Frühstücksbuffet dazugebucht, was auch trotz der spontanen Entscheidung vor Ort kein Problem darstellte. Für 9,80 € war alles da, was man so zum Sattwerden brauchte, nur den Saft könnte man sich sparen, da dieser sich in kürzester Zeit in irgenwas Gelbes und etwas Wässeriges auseinanderdividierte. Kaffee gab es aus einem Automaten und es waren verschiedene Sorten/Herstellungsarten wählbar. Prima und völlig in Ordnung. Mein Fazit: Ich werde wohl nicht noch einmal buchen.

The environment is good, close to the subway station, but the people in the hotel basically do not speak English. There are supermarkets, drugstores and post offices nearby. The hotel’s keys cannot be taken out, leaving the keys at the front desk every time you go out. But I was in Berlin for three days and it was very comfortable to live here. But the breakfast here is super hard to eat. Super ugly!

This hotel lived up to my expectations. It was well located, spotless, the breakfast was excellent and the atmosphere healthy and positive. I must thank the Young lady on reception, the morning of my departure, Sunday morning, 21st May, who went to great lengths to help me get the right bus to the airport, and then the correct platform for the last bit of the journey. Her instructions were faultless. The bar, late night, was busy and the service, fast and friendly.

In summary: Superb breakfast, good rooms, pretty good location (but there are better in Berlin), a few details could be improved. Good value for money. Accor has a huge range of hotels in Berlin, this is for them a midrange offering. The rooms are of reasonable size, I had a huge bathroom, minibar and room safe. Very clean. Bed surprisingly comfortable. Free wifi good enough for video streaming (there's also 'premium wifi' you can pay for). TV and heating controls fussy. Shower gel holder in the bathroom remained empty throughout my four day stay though there was liquid soap by the sink. Reading lights in room below average. Reception friendly, a little chaotic. The hotel restaurant is open in the evenings, snacks and drinks available after hours. Locked luggage storage next to reception. Breakfast is really nice - great coffee and fruit juice, all the rest as you would expect including some cold fish dishes. One level below an 'omelette bar' status but still pretty good for this price level of hotel. Location in Berlin Mitte is pretty good - they're two U-Bahn stations and several bus stops within a few minutes' walk, even though some of the bus schedules are a bit disappointing. Nikolaiviertel is 5 minutes walk away and if you increase your walking time to 15 minutes you can get to Alexanderplatz and Museuminsel easily enough. There are better location hotels in Mitte but it's quite OK really. Good value for money; rates vary quite a bit by day of the week (so if your travel days are flexible play around with your stay dates). I generally stay either more downmarket or more upmarket than this but it's interesting to see how a midrange hotel works - quite OK, though as often in this category of hotel proactive detail management doesn't get priority. I would recommend.

Hotel room was small and clean. Great quiet location.Large reception area. Will stop there again without hesitation. Will never book through Trip.com again. Both flights were cancelled. Ryan Air informed us for the departure so we changed to the night before arriving late and extra nights accommodation needed. The app still has us flying on the original date. The return flight was cancelled and the app stated we were checked in and even gave details of check in gate. This meant another night in a hotel and hundreds of pounds extra to fly the next morning. The app is useless. Book direct with the airline and watch Google as it steers you towards Trip.com automatically. The helpline does not answer the phone. Generic answers are useless just like Trip.com Please publish this!

The first stop of Germany trip, Berlin With a limited budget, my sisters and I chose to stay in a youth hostel. However, this youth hostel is not a traditional one because the environment here is still very good. Except for the shared bathroom and toilet, the rooms are not much different from ordinary hotels. , the price is also relatively cheap The location is close to the bus station, subway, etc., very convenient. If you want to move in, you can only wait until 15:00, not earlier. So there will be a lot of people waiting in the lobby, but there are people sitting here at any time. There is a coffee shop next to it and a bar below. The room environment is good, but the sound insulation effect is not very good. Our room is in the corner and the room shape is a bit strange. But the only weird thing is that there is a floor suction pump. The location is so unreasonable. If you don't pay attention, you will get tripped. You have to be extra careful every time. Only then The water in the bathroom is pretty good and flushes very well. After staying for two days, there were no queues to go to the toilet or take a shower. Overall, it is very good and cost-effective. You can print for free at the front desk, which is great!

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.

Although the location and price for this hotel is great, the rooms themselves were disappointing. When entering the room for our first night I was immediately concerned about the room, with some wall fittings falling off, what seemed to be a lack of smoke alarm, one small bedside lamp and a tv relatively small and far from the bed along with only one alternative chair. Despite these shortcomings the room is quite spacious and beds relatively fine, with somewhat good soundproofing on the windows to stop the noise of the busy streets. Although these negatives would have been outweighed by the positives, we also had no room cleaning our entire 6 night stay which was highly disappointing. We would be awakened by the cleaners relatively early in the morning however usually we slept through this first attempt to clean. Most hotels would assume someone is asleep and come back and clean after they have gone about their day however this did not occur for our entire trip duration. To make matters worse we had no toilet roll replacements and had to source our own. In addition, on our 5th night they did Infact enter our room, they did Not take our overflowing bin, towels from the specified pick up area, change our sheets or make our beds or clean any portion of the room as expected of them. All they did was give us toilet roll. Very disappointing considering the ideal location for the hotel and the price.(although much cheaper than anywhere else in the area so some disappointment to be expected)

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.

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.
