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.

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

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

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

Staff were nice and pleasant. Good part of town with convenient transport links. Room was spacious and light. Able to open windows to a leafy quiet street. Style of interior isn't that of a super modern hotel.. it feels slightly dated but kept clean and tidy. Only bad points for me is the pungent stink coming from the bathroom, which I can only put down to old plumbing/drainage systems. A quite unbearable sulferous whiff which reached a highpoint in the morning 'showering' time... The aforementioned windows had to be opened wide. Apart from that it was fine, okay for a short stop Didn't partake in any of the dining or breakfast on offer

This is the second time in three years that I have lived in this hotel. Very close to the subway station. The size of the room is suitable, there is no charge for children's beds. Breakfast is 12 Euros and there is a big supermarket nearby. It is close to the Tagore airport, and the taxi is about 17 euros. Going to Schönefeld Airport is far away. It is very convenient to come from the central railway station. I will choose this hotel next time.

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.

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 ... ).

Pluses of our visit to the hotel Margrit in Berlin 1. Price 65 euros for the room including a free continental breakfast . 2. Location in the centre of Berlin 3. Hotel room was warm clean and tidy . However as you can see from the photos the place is very tired and dated .1970s decor at its worst . Personally we felt it was more like a hostel than a hotel . Indeed looking at some of the hostels in the area they seem to have a lot more to offer . Did not detract from our stay as the city is a wonderful place to be before Christmas
