Hotels near John-F.-Kennedy-Platz, Berlin

The Scandic Kurfurstendamm provided a great base for our time in Berlin. It is very comfortable and very well situated, being close to the major shopping area and with a U-Bahn station close by to give links to the rest of the excellent public transport system. Breakfast was well prepared and gave an excellent selection of foods.

Very nice hotel, good check in experience. Julia at reception was excellent, very friendly and professional. Hotel room is spotless and clean and a nice fragrance throughout the hotel. Light and airy with a nice bar . I would recommend this to solo female business travellers

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

The location and the hotel itself is great. Next time I will stay here. There were two points I would like to underline : first there was a small problem in the first room I got - as soon as I pointed it out, I got a new room immediately. A ver constructive way to deal with problems. I appreciate it. Second, the attitude of staff, they are helpful and explain you everything you ask them.

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.

Good hotel, not really central but with good public communcations just outside. Good enough breakfast, good rooms. The opening times for de the bar and restaurant is a bit short, probably because of covid. The Garage is reasonably priced and feels safe.

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!

Next to HB Biergarten and Alexandraplatz Station. Good spread for breakfast, however, the menu barely change over 7 seven days. Just be aware that there are no amenities (toothbrush, kettle, fridge, cup for hot beverages), so do bring your own. Wifi connectivity is excellent throughout the hotel. Avoid arriving on Sunday, as most shops will be closed.

Everything was perfect until the morning of departure, when the service staff knocked on the room door at 8.30 in the morning to tell me to check out because they had to clean, although on Booking, check-out was provided until 12 o'clock.It somewhat erased all the charm until then.

By the time this incident happened, I have already completed a 4 days stay in the hotel and was willing to increase my stay. For that purpose, I went to Mrs. Hausweld and asked to please consult the availability and the price of the rooms for extra nights. In response, I was told that the final price, including the city tax for 3 additional nights would be 350 euros with breakfast included. Consequently, I was willing to go along with that reservation and requested to pay by card. Afterward, then Mrs. Hausweld offered me the POS terminal to go along with the payment, and the amount ascended to 419 euros. Due to that unexpected difference, I kindly asked for an explanation and was told that 419 euros were the final price, and if I was not happy with it I would need to leave the hotel immediately. As a result, I kindly refused to pay that amount and asked her to please consult the price for two nights instead of three. In response to that, the front desk manager told me that no more rooms were available for me and that I needed to check out now and leave the hotel. Following that conversation, I went on Booking.com and reserved a room for the same days, without breakfast, and surprisingly rooms were still available. Next, I went to the front desk and asked to please pay for my booking Mrs. Hausweld looked at me in an unfriendly manner and told me she could not find any reservation. After 5 minutes of searching, she could finally open my booking. Then, although I already provided a credit card in my booking, she asked me to show it to her because she was not believing that it was not mine. I answered that the card was in effect mine and offered her to have a look, but it did not have any numbers on it. So she got ahead to request me to write down my credit card details, including the CVV code, on a piece of paper as ”a security”. Afterward, I was asked again by her if I would like breakfast or not, despite I selected the no breakfast option on booking.com. A moment later I was offered the POS terminal to pay by card, which stated an amount 30 euros higher that the price I booked the room for on this site. Due to the reoccurrence of the same, previous situation again, I refused to pay and respectfully asked her why the price was higher again. Mrs. Hauweld answered in a very disrespectful manner that I asked her to have breakfast included and that I was confusing her again. After that situation, I kindly asked them to speak with her supervisor. She answered, that she had no supervisor and was the only person working in the hotel for the whole weekend. That experience left me in complete disbelief of her professionality and her being in that important role in the hotel. However, despite that bad experience with that particular staff member, I would like to note that the other front desk managers were very friendly and helpful at all times.
