stylisches Hotel
Das Hotel ist im Altberliner Stil eingerichtet und hat ein s Höhnes Ambiente. Es liegt zentral fußläufig zum Potsdamer Platz und eigene sich damit gut für Berlin-Erkundungen.
Unique and charming feel - a walk into the 19th century. Small, personable, with a great little bar and restaurant.

Da wir das Hotel nur zum Übernachten gebraucht haben, kam uns die zentrale Lage mit guter Verkehrsanbindung sehr zu Gute.

Very convenient hotel with charm
The hotel was good value for money and excellently placed near Potsdamer Platz and many sights were within robust walking distance. It also had excellent transport links to the airports with trains, buses and UBahn nearby. There was plenty of modestly priced eating nearby and two excellent, cheap restaurants serving German specialities practically next door. Our room was very large with a 4 poster bed, Chaise, 2 armchairs desk etc. However it was to the front which was noisy. We thought of asking to move to the back but enjoyed the fading elegance of the room so much that we decided to put up with the traffic noise. We got used to it. The hotel fittings are not modern but it had a certain fading elegance and all the essentials worked very well, our room also had tea and coffee making facilites. The staff were very efficient and helpful. We thought the Altberlin excellent value for money and not the usual sterility of modern chains.

This could be a great value hotel.
This place is charming. Well located to most of Berlin's attractions and reasonable rates. Unfortunately, I concur with earlier comments, to the effect that reception staff are at best indifferent and one is downright rude. Such a shame.
Consigliato a chi ama lo stile retro/vintage, la tranquillità (la nostra camera dava sul giardino interno, quindi silenziosissima) e la vicinanza a uno dei punti meglio collegati della città. Personale discreto ma un pò sbrigativo.
Godt hotel med personlighed. Hotellet har charme og levet godt op til sit navn. God service.

Frustrating
The receptionist of the afternoon is so rude, that it is unbelievable.
The hotel cannot be sold as "has elevator" because you still have a high staircase to climb with the luggage. The WiFe is rare and they tell you, we know there is a problem. If you need WiFi don't go.
Hard to recommend this hotel.
A very pleasant family run hotel. A very sympathetic and practical upgrade of a historic building. Room very comfortable and quiet. Buffet breakfast excellent. Well placed for access to many Berlin city highlights and attractions, and lots of public transport options. Staff excellent. Overall Hotels.com value excellent.
Det enda positiva med detta hotell är läget.......inget hotell jag skulle rekommendera .....delar av den kvinnliga personalen var helt ointresserad......trodde att jag hade blivit osynlig vid incheckningen..... man fick göra personalen uppmärksam på att man hade anlänt.
Frukost ok men inte till priset som erbjöds....hotellet allmänt slitet..men som vanligt.....
man får vad man betalar för..... Nästa Berlinvistelse lägger jag till några hundralappar för
hotellboendet. Jag har bott på flera hotell i Berlin .......detta ( Altberlin) återkommer jag inte till.
En del personal var väldigt tråkig, ej serviceminded.
Hotellet stängde sin bar/restaurang fredagskvällen pga av ett arrangemang på hotellet . Kunde inte ens förse sina betalande hotellgäster med en av deras underbara försköl från eftermiddag till in på natten.. dålig service.

Shabby chic or in need of modernisation
A bit off the beaten track in an "improving" area but buses stop right outside so just five minutes from Potzdammer Platz itself. A lap dancing club opposite adds(?) to the charm. Rooms are all different but largely generous and high ceiling end; our bathroom was a shower room only and compact but adequate; brass/iron bed was very comfortable and possessed fairy lights! Reasonably quiet considering it is on a main road. Depending on your point of view, charming or decrepit; I loved it. The staff all speak English and are very obliging.
This nice little hotel is 10-15 mins walk from Potsdamer Platz. It has an older charm, not your run-of-the-mill modern boxroom. We booked a regular room and ended up with a small suite. Comfortable, spacious, clean and warm.
Zentrale & gut erreichbare Lage. Netter Empfang. Sauberkeit ok, Bettlaken allerdings löchrig. Bad & Zimmer altbacken und in nur mäßigem Zustand. Würd's nicht weiterempfehlen.

God til prisen og god beliggenhed
Vælg hotellet for pris og beliggenhed. Gå-afstand til mange af Berlins seværdigheder og med gode offentlig transport muligheder. Selve hotellet er en underlig blanding af museum/1900'er tema og af faktisk at være et velholdt gammelt hotel. Vælg værelse væk fra gaden og spis morgenmad på én af gadens cafeer/morgenmadssteder. Gaden, som hotellet ligger på, er et funky mix af low-end/high-end butikker/restauranter/beværtninger, og værd at gå på opdagelse på.

Dem Herrn beim Frühstück musste man ständig sagen was leer ist oder ob er mal Kaffee bringen kann. Angebot beim Frühstück voll ok, nur wurde nich nach- aufgefüllt!
The Hotel has potential however the upkeep is poor. The staff attitude needs severe adjustment, Germany or not when a guest ask a question the reception staff should not roll their eyes at them, it's plain rude in every corner of the planet. The room had a crack between the celing and the wall. The minifridge to at least cool water did not work, the bathroom shower was clogged, the curtain dirty and the toilet almost underneath the sink. Not to mentioned the room is located on a busy street and the room had a bus stop in front of it. The room was warm so we try to open the window to get air but the noise from the party people was infallible. The tip of the iceberg was when one night we decide to eat at the hotel restaurant and the staff proceed to tell us ot was closed for private guests. Nevermind I'm a guest or the other guests, apparently we don't matter if we spent money to stay in your hotel. Overall I would not recommend this hotel.
We really enjoyed our stay in what is a great hotel. If you are looking for an identikit chain hotel the this is not for you. If however you are looking for character and charm then you can't go wrong.
