Hotels near Dahlem in Berlin

A really clean hotel. The bed was very comfortable and good, with lovely pillows and duvet. The rooms were tidy and had a large mini-bar. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options and plenty of space. The hotel's location is excellent, close to restaurants and shopping. It's also a relatively short walk to the nearest metro station.

We recently stayed at The Circus Hotel in Berlin, taking two rooms for a short family trip. The experience was, in many respects, excellent. The location is ideal—central, with easy access to public transport and within walking distance of a huge variety of restaurants and shops. Service throughout was truly commendable. Staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful at every turn. The hotel bar is a genuine highlight—stylish, welcoming, and well-stocked. We especially appreciated the honesty bar and terrace upstairs, which made for a beautiful, relaxed afternoon during our stay. Breakfast was another strong point, offering a good variety of quality options in a comfortable setting. The rooms themselves are well-sized, clean, and nicely appointed. However, there’s a major issue that any traveller should be aware of: there is no real air conditioning. What’s provided is what I would describe as a comfort cooling system—more symbolic than functional. During our stay, temperatures hovered around 25 °C during the day and 18 °C at night, yet the rooms remained unpleasantly warm. Both rooms had fans, and the windows had to be opened to let in any real cool air. It’s quite clear that the hotel expects guests to rely on the fans, which is not acceptable given the climate realities of Berlin summers. This significantly affected our comfort and sleep. For travel between late May and early October, I would strongly caution against booking unless you’re completely indifferent to room temperature. It’s unfortunate, because in almost every other respect, The Circus Hotel is a real gem. I genuinely wanted to love it, and in cooler months, I very likely would. But the absence of proper climate control is a deal-breaker in warmer weather, and it’s clear the hotel is aware of the issue—hence the fans in every room. Pros: • Excellent location • Superb service • Great breakfast • Fantastic bar and terrace • Generous room size Cons: • No air conditioning—only a weak cooling system and fans • Rooms become uncomfortably warm even in moderate summer temperatures Conclusion: A brilliant hotel during cooler seasons. But for summer stays, particularly with children or light sleepers, the lack of proper climate control unfortunately outweighs the many positives.

The room has excellent natural light, and the location is fantastic. The service attitude is also top-notch. I'll definitely choose to stay at SANA again when I come back to Berlin! It's about a five-minute walk to the subway station, and it's very quiet at night. The in-room coffee machine is also super good.

I only stayed one night and didn't have very high expectations for around €50 per night. I was pleasantly surprised. I stayed in a single room, which has a somewhat older design. The room was clean. It faced the street, but there wasn't too much noise. This side of the building also didn't get much direct sun. Trip.com claims in the description that this hotel doesn't have air conditioning, but that's not true. Most rooms here do have it. It was 32°C outside, and the air conditioning worked well. I was able to get the room to a nice, cool temperature. The thermostat is very basic, but I didn't mind because it worked well. Only in the morning did I notice that the room became warmer, probably because the minimum temperature is controlled automatically and the outside temperature had already dropped significantly. Breakfast was included, but I couldn't use it because I had to leave before 6 a.m. There are some complimentary drinks available near reception, including coffee, tea, and water, along with to-go cups. Overall, it's a good hotel. I stayed in a similar hotel in Berlin a few months ago, but I would choose this one again because of the price and the availability of air conditioning. It's also within walking distance of the S-Bahn station. There are direct trains to the airport, city center and the main train station (S9).

Perfectly located — within easy walking distance to most major sights in Mitte like the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Philharmonic, and Checkpoint Charlie. For places a bit further out, there’s a train station right in front of the hotel, which makes getting around effortless. There’s even a dm grocery store just a minute’s walk away, which was super convenient. The room was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped, with a full set of amenities provided from the start — something surprisingly rare in Europe. Overall, a very comfortable and well-thought-out stay. Highly recommend!

Great location and well-equipped, including a small kitchenette (though no chef!). The best part was the air conditioning – it was a lifesaver during the heatwave. Excellent value for money. Self-check-in and check-out were convenient. It's right on the border between A and B zones for the subway, and it's only a ten-minute walk if you need to catch a train. There's a large mall nearby with a food court, supermarket, and DM, making it super easy to stock up on essentials. I felt quite safe, as the area is all residential.

The room was super clean. The hotel is centrally located. Walking distance from a shopping mall and the train station. We tried ordering room service but we didn’t have a way to do it and when we called reception they basically told us to just look in the room for the menu. We only had a breakfast one. Other than that, everything else was awesome.

The facilities are good, the room is very large with a sink in it. There are 2 refrigerators and 4 lockers for 4 people, which is more than enough. Cooking is not possible as the kitchen is not equipped. There are also no cups, plates, or cutlery. Shower soap is not provided, but towels can be rented.

A decent hostel that's located near many interesting nightlife locations. Very firm mattresses unfortunately, but sufficiently clean. USB chargers at every bed, although actual power sockets would have been better.

Not our first time in this hotel. Love that everything is automated. Definitely, there is space to improve the acoustic isolation, especially if you have a room next to the road or next to an elevator. Probably coming back again here.
