Novotel Suites Berlin City Potsdamer Platz Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

The review for this hotel needed updating for 2022. The street and front of the hotel can be a little deceiving but do not judge a book by it’s cover. The welcome I received from the receptionist was extremely friendly and efficient. The receptionist guided me to the lift which is in the courtyard. My double room was spacious and clean. Comfortable bed. The kettle was definitely a plus. I did not have the breakfast so I cannot add comments. When I checked out I told the receptionist I would hopefully return and he replied “Awesome”! I would definitely recommend this hotel. Would recommend nearby: (1) The Muted Horn craft ale bar. (2) Chuckleheads Comedy Show (in English) on Thursday nights at Deriva Bar. Need to book free tickets on line.

Unfortunately, the pool was closed and the sauna was required to login and the sauna area was able to use just 1 hour. The opening hours of the sauna from 14:00 to 20:00 on weekends are absolutely unacceptable for such a luxury hotel. We were very angry about it. When booking we have not received any information about the time in the spa is so regulated and it is completely closed in the pool area. At the reception, we received information that the pool was closed due to energy saving measures and also lacked staff. We believe that then the overnight prices must be adjusted accordingly if a significant part of the services cannot be provided. Unfortunately, we could not enjoy our stay as we intended!

I was attending a conference in Berlin and stayed at the Adlon Kempinski Hotel, adjacent to the Brandenburg Gate, close to the Reichstag Building, and not too far from the Victory Column. The hotel is beautifully decorated, the room is not too big and relatively compact, but the facilities are complete, the bedding is excellent, and you can have a good rest. The breakfast conditions are very good, with complete dishes, rich fruits and elegant environment.

The location is extremely advantageous. It is located in Potsdamer Platz in the center of Berlin, so the safety factor is very high (unlike East Berlin and other places where it is very chaotic). It is a one-person trip! Highly recommend this place; you can walk to the Berlin Philharmonic Hall and Brandenburg after saving. Famous attractions include the Gate and the Berlin Film Museum. The room area is very large, starting at 40m². We recommend the king bed room with a view. The window faces the main street and the scenery and lighting are very good. Breakfast quality is very good!

I guess it is always difficult for a place when the expectations are pitched higher than the reality. Walking into the Waldorf Astoria, one was full of expectation. Wanting to experience the fabled service and amenities. Walking out was a let down. The hotel did not deliver. It all started with the check in process. The staff refused to check me in because the booking was in the name of my partner and he was not there with me. I had the confirmation number. The room was booked for two people. I was ready to give them my card and passport but the wonderful woman at reception refused to check me in because my family name and my partner’s family name don’t match! Give me a break. Surely in this day and age couples with different family names are a common feature? So I had to kill a couple of hours at the restaurant waiting for my partner to get back to the hotel. It’s one of the worst experiences in the world. You have just got off a flight. Your luggage has not made it. You have spent hours at the airport filling up forms and going through missing luggage hoops. All you want is to get to your room and stretch out. But no. The staff at the Waldorf thought I was a security risk The only bright spark was the Concierge Philip who gave us very good advice about the delayed baggage. The bar was not particularly exciting. The drinks were a disappointment and the service was okay. The maitre D at the restaurant was very good but the well done omelette was very underwhelming. Patchy and poor. Those two words describe the famed Waldorf Astoria in Berlin. Skippable.

This hotel just doesn't work. We chose it for its great location and interesting history, but its desire to be cool sacrifices any real comfort. Almost everything is dark and is trying to be what? Mysterious? Not sure. This includes the lobby, making check in... interesting. The only area that's bright (during the day) is the beautiful restaurant. I think that might be the reason there are so many photos of it in the other reviews. We booked a suite that included 2 small balconies with a fantastic view of the TV Tower. But even with the large windows open, the room was dark. So dark in fact, I had to put on makeup in the teeny room for the toilet. Oh, and about that toilet room - it was inches from the head of the bed. Another design decision that didn't take into account how people actually live. But what about the electric lights? Surely they were bright enough to put on makeup? Nope. The bulbs were a glowy, antique yellow, used to evoke a time gone by. I guess a time when lights weren't very bright? These bulbs were controlled by odd steampunk switches that never really worked. Speaking of never working, may I introduce you to the air conditioning? It was a warm, not hot, few days in Berlin, so we hoped opening the windows would be enough. But the combination of the heavy comforter (we asked for a lighter one and were told there was only that one kind) and the heat rising to the top floor made the room very hot at night. Despite being incredibly loud, the A/C never worked. Hot air poured out. A visit from maintenance didn't change anything. We were told that the units were ”temperamental.” Not what you want to hear when you're staying several days. There are so many lovely hotels in Berlin. We've been before and have been very happy. Don't spend the night here. Why not have a drink in the moody bar? Or dinner in the unique and lovely restaurant? Just don't stay here. You won't sleep. We didn't.

I have stayed in many places throughout Europe, and the service and experience are always a toss-up. Orania Berlin made me fall back in love with Berlin in a very special way. From the moment you walk into the hotel, the staff is top tier. I have heard it’s one of the more exclusive hotels in Berlin, and I definitely agree. The rooms are so chic and spacious, with massive windows everywhere. The breakfast was included with our booking, and when you hear ”included,” you think it would be mediocre, but this food was amazing, down to their morning pastry called “Cinnamon Snail.” There is a free piano concert almost every night that you can just walk down from your room to experience. The gym was simple but effective, and you can plug in your own music, blasting the noise without it ever affecting the guests because it’s in the basement. I would recommend staying here as it is such a treat.

The Berlin Marriott is a star. My husband had business in the area so we enjoyed an extended stay in Berlin. Others who stayed closer to the conference weren’t very happy with their experience, but the Marriott made our trip so enjoyable. It would be hard to beat this location. Near the Brandenburg Gate and an easy walk to many of the must-see attractions it allowed me to make the most of my time. I walked in Tiergarten every day. From the excellent first impression (thanks, Cesare) throughout our stay I always felt like I was coming home when I entered the lobby. The wonderful doorman with glasses always had a smile for me (thank you!). We were in room 868 facing Ebertstraße. I expected street noise considering it’s facing the main road but it was honestly one of the most quiet hotel experiences I’d ever had. It’s right in the middle of everything yet so serene. The staff are top-notch. The concierge was friendly and very helpful. The whole operation feels exceptionally well managed. The hotel is spotlessly clean. It even smells good! Our room was very comfortable and had a terrific view. We had a lot of ironing to do and my husband commented on the “fantastic” iron. Little details like that made the business side of this trip less stressful. It also seemed very secure. On our early departure morning we saw the night associates near the door - nothing was going to get past them without them noticing. We found the lobby bar to be relaxing and a great spot to catch up with others in our group. If you’re looking for a quick bite definitely try The Big Dog which is attached to the hotel. Our group really enjoyed our lunch there and Loris was so welcoming. My only suggestion for improvement would be they should replace the instant coffee that’s in the room with a regular coffee maker or Keurig. (Plenty of coffee options at breakfast though - either regular coffee served by staff or you can use the machine where you can push a button and have a specialty coffee in seconds. I think they keep a carafe of coffee right at breakfast check-in so you can grab some in a to-go cup.) On a side note - our early morning taxi to Berlin Brandenburg airport was €50.50. Taxis are always lined up right next to the hotel. I’m home now and really missing our peaceful home base in Berlin.

Stylish design hotel with creative and high quality filling. Excellent service, welcoming staff, great and quiet location, clean and special environment, delicious breakfast. The restaurant DongA offers delicious Asian food, all perfect! Thanks!
