Hotels near Drachenberg Viewpoint, Berlin

I have spent two weeks in Berlin, and this was the cheapest accommodation I could find. It has been definitely a surprise: a big room, very quiet, good internet connection and a very friendly staff. The breakfast (included in the price) is ok, the restaurant has only a few options for vegetarians (tagliatelle all'arrabbiata and salads), but portions are big and the price is OK. The S-Bahn station is a 15 minutes walk, because in between there is a busy motorway. The round part of the building used to be the race control tower of a motor racing circuit until 1998, and you can still feel the glorious past of it.

A space of darkness turned into a space of light: the building's past as a court and a women's prison that was transformed into a hidden green oasis with a unique character. Various elements of the old building were maintained and beautifully blended with a modern, minimalistic and wellness-focused design in warm tones. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom simply huge and the garden views add to the overall feeling of peace and serenity. A lovely touch the board games room with billiard table, while the sauna and outdoor pool were perfect for unwinding. A true Berlin gem, turning its rich history into a delightful and romantic stay.

Overall Experience Impressive property that reflects the care and attention to detail management and staff have devoted to this gem. While it isn’t next door to the Mall of Berlin (20-minute subway ride away) and does not have the city-center bustle (meh), Hotel Louisa’s Place has an old-world charm with all the modern conveniences needed for a very comfortable stay. I will stay here on my next trip to Berlin and I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a comfortable alternative to the corporate chain hotels. Room: Very much liked the room floorplan. It was like a 1-bedroom apartment with a separate living/dining/kitchen area and a patio with a table for two overlooking the courtyard. The bathroom was spacious with a huge shower. The 12-foot-high ceilings with ornate crown molding and large windows made it seem very grand. We felt as though we had a posh European flat for our week in Berlin with all the amenities of a very nice hotel. Location: I was surprised to learn that everything we needed during our stay was within walking distance. We found three grocery stores and more restaurants than we had time to try all within a 5–10-minute walk. There was also an abundance of other shops and stores near the hotel. The U-Bahn (subway) station was 1 block from the front door. The S-Bahn (main city-wide trains) station was a 8-10-minute walk or you could walk to the U-Bahn and ride it to the next stop and shorten the walk to the S-Bahn. We did not need a rental car since all of our activities were accessible from the nearby subway or train. Price: I did my homework and found this hotel to be well-positioned in the market. Value for money was very good. So glad we did not stay in the chain hotel we were considering. Service: Unlike American hotels post-pandemic, housekeeping was done every day of our stay with fresh towels as needed. They emptied the trash bins and collected recycled containers and generally tidied up. All staff were very friendly and eager to help with any questions and requests we had. Cleanliness: All aspects of this hotel were well tended to. I typically wipe down drawers and shelves before putting clothes away. That was not necessary at this hotel. The bathroom and kitchen were very clean, and I was impressed by how this older building has been meticulously upgraded and maintained.

We stayed there as prices were highly attractive at 83 euro a night, that was the main interest, seeing the hotel location, between Spanndau and West Berlin center (ku dam). The hotel is recently renovated, reception, main hall and the rooms are all pretty, new and modern. The corridors are clean but showing this is clearly a large business venue accommodating business travellers mainly (Siemens HQ Is in the same street). We were slightly upgraded thanks to my Diamond elite status, but it was a ”new” room kind off, not a suite or anything fancy, so they done the bare minimum on status recognition. The room wasn't necessarily very clean on day 1, there was sand on the chair and on the floor. The pool in the basement is nice, but rather small. There is a Scandinavian type sauna as well, and plenty towels can be found by the pool so you don't need to bring yours from the room. To be noted, on the external wall across the sauna, there is an original painting by Thierry Noir, a famous Berlin based street artist, well known for his worl on the East Side gallery back in 90's. Don't miss it ! I saw it by chance and instantly recognised his style, but the hotel isn't promoting its existence, pity. Breakfast was pretty good by all standards, plenty of choice on the buffet, to accommodate all possible diets, baked goods, cold meats, pancakes and fruit salad, real coffee of any kind you want. Plenty of free parking on the streets when we stayed, so we didn't have to use the hotel parking (25 € a day). The only con was the check-in experience on our 2nd stay, very dry, no smile, not friendly at all, by opposition to our first visit few days before. Good place, metro nearby, modern hotel. If you can accommodate with the commuting by metro, or come to berlin by car, its a good hotel

Cheap and nice accomodation, with good location and nice staff, absolutely worth it. We had clean, simple and comfortable room. You can get plenty of free prospects of the local sights and programmes. They surprised us with a welcome drink, and after check out, for only 1€/bag, we could leave there our luggages till the departure of our flight in the evening (other left luggage stores in the city are for 2,5€/ hour...).

The hair dryer in my room was not working. The room was so cold. The receptions could not speak English very well so they couldn’t understand my words. It was claimed that there would be a vending machine actually it was but it does not have water as the most important thing! The location is a little bit far away from public transportation.

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.

Very nice hotel! Big room, very comfortable king size bed!! Bathroom a little tight but very clean and functional. The hotel is located approximately 30 minutes (give or take) on public transport into the city centre. We got the U-bahn from Uhlandstrasse (7 minute walk from hotel), or the S-bahn from Sevignyplatz (around 10 minute walk from hotel). On both routes, there are great connections to the other side of the city, plus everywhere central you wish to go. The area where the hotel is has lots of restaurants and bars, so if you're too tired after a day of sightseeing, there is plenty of choice locally!! Highly recommend Abba Berlin!!

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.

Stayed here for a weekend exploring Berlin. The location was good just a short walk to the train station which take you into the centre of Berlin or you can catch a tram from Miles outside the hotel to the train station if you don’t want to walk. The rooms were clean and spacious but a little tired however we thought this was reflected in the price we paid. We booked 2 rooms and ended up next to each other which was great, whenever I book 2 rooms in the UK we end up on different floors. We did have a 5am fire alarm wake up call where we were evacuated from the building for some time with no communication. There is a Lidl nearby to pick up supplies if needed. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Berlin.
