I visited the Park Inn earlier this month on a business trip, as it was in walking distance of the congress center. The event offered discounted rates, so we ended up here. The hotel is very large and in a great area next to the train station and many shopping stores. The room was extremely small, which is ok as I was traveling alone. The AC did not work and while I was there, Berlin was experiencing some of the hottest days of the year. The bathroom area was dirty every single day. If you stay here, do not expect a luxury experience. read more

Park Inn by Radisson - View - Hotels Near Me - Berlin, BE

This hotel in Berlin was...an experience and unfortunately a very poor one at that. Pros: -the room was clean -excellent location with lots of shopping and dining options nearby and close to U-bahn stations -hotel appears very nice from the outside and lobby -great view from our room; also has a nice view from the top, but you have to pay to access it even as a guest of the hotel -the new swing on top looked like a lot of fun, though didn't get a chance to partake this time Cons: -the self check in kiosks are just not it - we made it through as far as getting our key cards for the room, but right then the computer told us that something had gone wrong and to visit the front desk. It didn't even tell us our room number. We got to the front desk and the staff that helped us was rude and didn't seem to believe us when she asked what our room number was and we told her we didn't know. Ultimately, however, she got us fully checked in and we were off. -the room is small, okay for 1-2 people -speaking of sharing the room, the bathroom situation is weird at best. The bathroom was separated into a shower portion and then a portion that contained the sink and the toilet itself. The two parts were divided by one door that could be used two ways: to fully enclose the shower, toilet, and sink or to close the shower, but then leave the toilet and sink open to the rest of the room. The shower itself doesn't have a lot of space to place your own toiletries (shampoo/conditioner, body wash if you wish to bring your own), so you have to keep the door open to the sink, but then the shower water spills out to the floor. Additionally, the walls of the bathroom are like a semi-opaque frosted glass and definitely see-through to some extent. Do with that what you will. On our last night, we were awoken by the emergency alarm going off telling us to exit our room and to take the stairs down at approximately 7AM. We took 36 flights of stairs down, only to find out that it was unnecessary and we rode the elevator back up. Beyond this, there was no explanation of what happened and why and nothing done by way of apology (not even an actual apology). Would stay here again only for the location, but I'm sure there are other better hotels nearby as well. read more

On the "Good-Meh-Suck" scale, this is a solid "Meh-minus". First the pluses- location to the S-Bahn from the airport is great. 4 Euros vs. a 50 Euro cab ride is a good thing. At the airport, you go towards the S-Bahn and down one level to get your ticket and then look for the RB23 and go 3 stops (about 30 min). Very simple to walk out and the hotel is across an open area. Now the bad. I usually like talking to the desk people to check-in. Why? I can ask for a higher floor. I can ask for recommendations as to the best room and should I wait to get it later. NO CHANCE. I was sternly directed to a self-check-in kiosk and given my room keys and that was that. The room itself was OK. I hate the step up bath tub/shower combo which is always fun since there is no real good way to get in and out, especially when wet! The toilet was disgusting. There was, what I'd thought, a mold ring at the water line. I soon learned that it was not mold but a permanent ring. The vents for moisture were filled with lint. The temperature was not easily regulated so I had to open windows to cool the room. Now let's talk German Wi-Fi.....I have been to Germany on numerous occasions. I love Germany. I do a little sprechen but not much....enough to get good beer. I can say for a fact that every hotel I have stayed in in Germany has the WORST Wi-Fi on the planet. It is painfully slow and intermittent. Of course I learned later that I should try another network but when you are not able to check-in with a real person, the kiosk does not tell you this. Regardless, neither network worked consistently and effected my productivity greatly. Let's cut to breakfast. I was here for a conference (apparently, conferences are very popular for this hotel). I went to the 2nd floor for breakfast to only find the doors locked at 7:15am. I went to the ground floor to eat there and was told to go to the 2nd floor. I told the gentleman that I was just there and the doors were locked. He said it will be open soon. Breakfast starts at 7am....Back to the 2nd floor and it was suddenly open. The food was average. The water glasses were juice glasses which does not work for me. How about a real glass?!?!? Also the need to re-check-in after two days was annoying. Why can't the system know I am in the room for 3 days?!?! Such a pain...... Would I stay here again? No. I am certain there are better options for the price. Good luck! read more

If you plan on staying here with another person, think twice! The hotel is pretty modern and in a convenient area, but I had to deduct major points for the lack of a separate bathroom. The sink and shower were literally just next to the bed, with a closet-size room for the toilet WITH A FROSTED GLASS WALL. There was a shower curtain that separated the bathroom stuff from the bedroom, but as you can imagine, there was very little privacy. Absolutely terrible. Check-in was automated and speedy. Elevators were small and ran slowly, so expect crowds and long wait times in the morning. Also, the rooms do not have A/C. There is a non-operational thermostat on the wall. The heat wasn't bad when we were there (mid-70s to low-80s), but I can imagine it being a bit uncomfortable when it creeps into the mid-90s. read more

Stayed at this hotel for a week, turned out to be amazing! The rooms is gorgeous and the ambience is amazing. Don't mention the view, everything is amazing! read more

As an American traveler I'm grateful to clean and well organized establishments with friendly staff. Park Inn succeeds on these metrics but it does have a few areas with potential for improvement: The self check in experience seemed to be only partial functioning, allowing me to enter my name and take my room deposit but not finalizing the reservation. No problem, I'll head to the desk. The staff at the front desk was courteous and quick to recommend an excellent area for dining, so as to avoid the touristy fast food areas. However, the front desk agent also never finalized my room booking, by tying in my reservation with a room. As such, the following morning I was rudely awoken to a stranger banging on my room door at 930 in the morning. After ignoring this and rolling over, reception came up 15 minutes later with a master key to try and gain entry. Had it not been for the deadbolt I would have had two strange men staring at me in bed. To put it mildly I was furious. This is an egregious error on the hotel's part, and had I not deadbolted the door, there likely would have been a real situation on our hands. By way of apology, I was given a bottle of sparkling water and a jar of nuts. Gee, thanks? I chalk it up to a faulty check on system and a lack of attention to detail on the staff's part. As for the facilities themselves, the room itself was serviceable. They are small rooms, great for single travelers or couples on a budget. It reminded me of a dorm room at college. On the bathroom mirror, there's a button to alert housekeeping as to whether you want to pause turndown service for the following day. Pressing it apparently does nothing, as I wound up having the housekeeping attendant in my room when I came back with my morning coffee. Which leads to my next point: I'll admit it could be a European thing, but there's no coffee machines in the hotel (at least, none accessible that I saw) - I had to get over to the Burger King next door. I did not eat in adjoined restaurant, however I made plenty use of the late night doner kebab joints around the hotel and sat inside the hotel's lounge. As for location, it's very centrally located to all transit options in and around Berlin. Shopping all around but it's very much tourist oriented. Totally fine and acceptable but beware scammers and the usual riff raff looking for attention outside. All in all, it's serviceable for a quick visit, but don't expect much. read more

Great location where you have the trains station, Berlin Congress Center, shopping centers, taxis drivers standing by, and the bustling Christmas markets during the holiday season. The service is good, the rooms are mediocre, and the gym is below standard. At the gym, there is no_ water or lockers -- also, the treadmills make lots of noise. Their breakfast buffet was ok with variety of hot/cold foods like eggs, sausage, ham, cheese, cereal, fruits, pastries, pickles, cooked veggies, read with a Europe's flair etc. read more

Park Inn by Radisson - new & clean machines, yay! - Hotels Near Me - Berlin, BE

Pros: Great location if you are looking to see the sights that are best known internationally - Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Museum Island etc with good restaurants and coffee shops within a couple of blocks. It's close enough to the gate that you can walk there. It's a nice walk, about 1 mile, with lots of cathedrals and other points of interest along the way. Pleasant walk full of wonderful historical buildings along the way. Rooms are clean and updated Close to good public transportation Staff is friendly and helpful Public transportation is close and good. It's about a 15 Euro ride from the main train station using Uber. If you arrive too early to check in there is a check room for your luggage. Cons: INTERNET IS HORRID - no I mean really really REALLY bad. It took over 30 seconds to load this page before I could write a review. We've been here for a week. It has been this bad every minute of every day we have tried to use it. It is worse than an old dial up connection. It's so slow that the screen can load so slowly that it loads line by line just like a 1200 baud modem did decades ago. It's so bad we'll never stay here again. Phone connectivity seems like it is being blocked. Walk out of the building and it's fine. In the room it is almost nonexistent. 75% of the time we couldn't connect using it. Even holding it up to a window doesn't help. Bed - a double/queen bed is two singles pushed together with two separate duvet covers, one for each side. It's great if you and your partner are having an argument, not so much if you are on a romantic holiday. PS - the duvets are really nice. The breakfast buffet is over priced for what you get. Food is plentiful but of medium quality with high end pricing. Walk out the door a block or two and you'll get much better food for half the price. TV - I don't really expect much from hotel TV. If I'm in a country that English isn't the native language I have even lower expectations. BBC and CNN are the only two English channels. No other options exist, even if you are happy to pay for them. While close to many things, after sundown the neighborhood changes. There are drug addicts, homeless, panhandlers and mentally ill people everywhere. They are there during the day,not as many by far, but they are more circumspect than at night. Don't flush the toilet while your friend/partner is in the shower. It's an instant scalding. It's a thing I find very surprising in a hotel of this size. Small lobby with LONG lines 24/7 at the check-in desk. I've not seen less than 10 people in the line. If the room next to yours has guests that are making noise you will hear it. You can feel movement through the walls. Summary: Great location for tourist attractions. If you are wanting to partake of the wonderful historic places, it would be nearly impossible to find better access for the price. That said the technology issues are just prohibitive if you need internet access for work or browsing. Took my Gmail account 15 to 30 seconds to load. Every time. We won't stay here again. We've seen the sights and the negatives are just too substantial to justify a repeat. read more

Great location in Berlin. Services Great. Included breakfast is huge and will suffice for most of the day. Convenient to shopping , restaurants, and some sites. Vrry helpful concierge was invaluable. Great choice. read more

Terrible hotel! The outside and inside are nice, but once you walk through the door of your hotel room, everything changes! The glass shower is in the middle of the room and when showering, there is no consistency to the temperature of the water. You get bursts of scalding hot water, then cold water. Oh yeah, that was in our second room. Upon check in, we unpacked and showered. However, stepping out of the shower, there was a giant puddle of water on the floor from the shower leaking. So we had no choice but to move rooms. The next day we were skipped for room service and had to call the desk to ask for clean towels. The third day, we returned at 3:30 pm and room service was just entering to clean, so we had to go wait in the lobby for them to finish. Overall, we were disappointed with the service and the hot/cold issue with the shower. I'm sure you can find a nicer hotel somewhere else. read more

NEVER AGAIN, had to wait 1 hour for the check.in, the line was VERY long. The position is good but non the best in town, highly connected with the rest of the city, but in the evening, the place becomes really unpleasant, alexanderplatz is filled with homeless and weird people in every corner. The room was nicely furbished, modern and neat but the shower box was in the middle of it, so you will have to shower in front of your roomate. Very inappropriate. The positive thing was the continental breakfast, plenty of food everywhere in the dining room. read more

Normally, I would soak in the luxury of the hotel room, if not for the tremendous headache. I hadn't been this torn up since college. I rolled over and I began to face the morning. I forgot to close the curtains and the daylight punished that mistake. No point trying to get back to sleep now. OK, reality check, I thought to myself. I'm in the Park Inn hotel at Alexanderplatz. Berlin. Boys trip. Quincey. The club. Forgot what happened after that... I'll put last night together in a second. But first - BERLIN!!!! Got adjusted to the daylight as I approached the window to look out upon my favorite city. The massive Soviet era Fernsehturm tower faced me from beyond my window - an in-your-face testament of 60s Communist technical ability that has all but become a ubiquitous landmark of Berlin and an overpriced tourist attraction reminding us of dark days gone by. Now it is powerless and castrated, a physical symbol of Communism itself. I check my phone. It's 9:00 AM. I don't imagine Quincey is up yet, and I see no need to wake him. I'll let him call me. I feel awful. My stomach is empty, and my throat is burning - prompting an attempt to recall what happened a few hours ago. What time did I get in? 4? That's early for this town. I paced around my hotel room while I tried to get my bearings. The Park Inn Hotel, at the center of Alexanderplatz, is one of the tallest structures in Berlin, and once served as a four star hotel for Communist dignitaries during the cold war. The Eastern Bloc officials got tremendously nice accommodations, compared to the common folk - after the fall of communism, these hotels would be bought by chains such as Radisson and Westin. No doubt the hotel has since been renovated. The plush decor made it indistinguishable from any other global hotel chain. Still, the room was uniquely Berlin. I jumped in the tiny shower to bring myself back to life while I committed to a breakfast plan. The lack of space in the room forced the designers to become creative. The shower stood inside the room instead of a separate bathroom - making cohabitation a bit more... familiar. Oh yes, breakfast. I'm on vacation, and in Berlin. Darren back home would make clear that a good breakfast is mandatory, so I make that the first order of business. The Park Inn breakfast is overpriced and unsurprisingly sparse, so there's no need to even consider it. As European hotel breakfasts go, I've learned to err on the side of caution. And besides, Berlin was not a typical German city. You can find anything here, and even the slightest attempt to explore will be greatly rewarded. Threw on some clothes - choice doesn't matter this early in the morning. All that matters right now are gloves, a hat and a warm jacket. The warmth of the room hides how bitterly cold it is outside. I make my way to the elevator and into the lobby. The presence of businessmen and convention-goers could confuse the fact that this is, in fact, Berlin. And this lobby reminds me that this was the starting point of our adventure last night. ... At the lounge nearest the elevator the night before, I waited for Quincey to come down. Our third boys-trip in as many years, we had become very efficient. And thus simple traditions had been born. We always pick the Park Inn due to its central location and reasonable price. If we are here to party, we don't need extra features like a swimming pool or weight room. My phone said 10:30 PM when Quincey emerged from the elevator as his dapper self. A handsome black man wearing perfectly fitting slacks, a white button up shirt and a sport jacket, he exuded class and style. "My friend," he greeted me, in that play pretentious mannerism as he adjusted his cufflinks, "I believe it is time for a drink. Maaaaaawwww" We ease our way into the hotel bar for a round of Jack and Coke. A piano player is tapping out 80s hit songs. It's an upscale corporate type bar that is trying to be hip. What do you expect from the Radisson? Quincey and I would plan our annual trip during the weekend of Berlin Fashion Week in mid January, and yet we never attended any events. Still, it guaranteed there would be massive parties. We pulled away after a brief conversation, and focused on each other. "Since we are here," I started, "Now seems like a good time for a Millionaire's Club meeting." And the drinking commenced... read more

Strategic location, Cool spot at a bargain price! In three extended business trips to Berlin, I've stayed here two times. The one time I was booked elsewhere (trip #2), I was located downtown and paid a lot more, but actually got a lot less. Being right on Alexanderplatz, the hotel is strategically located near major shopping, touring, dining and transportation areas. It is literally right on top of the subway station and 100m from the train station. There is ample shopping on the same plaza and tons of varied dining in the same area ranging from cheap grab-n-go to upscale and fine dining. The hotel has a beautiful restaurant/bar. To be truthful, although each of the two stays at the Park Inn were for about 10 days each, I've never eaten lunch or dinner there. The breakfasts are fantastic with classic European style buffet. The hot foods are good, but the selection of cold foods - cold cuts, fish, cheeses, cereals, fruit, fresh (real) yoghurts and "Quark" is unbelievable and of high quality. The service at breakfast is very good. Both stays provided me with what I thought was a very large room by European standards with a nice bathroom. The rooms are very clean and the views are great, though both times I was facing away from the plaza. Maybe that was a good thing because the other aspect that impressed me during both stays is how nice and quiet my rooms were despite what appears to be a high traffic flow through the hotel and lots of tour groups apparently staying there. read more

I can only repeat what others have mentioned regarding the location. It is really central, close to Mitte and many of the main sights in Berlin (Museum Island, Brandenburger Tor, Berlin Cathedral etc) as well as the charming area of Prentzlauer Berg. If flying in to Berlin Schönefeld it is very easy to get there by train (3 stops, around 20 minutes and only €3). Alexanderplatz is also a transport hub in Berlin (S-bahn, U-bahn and tram) so it easy to get to other parts of Berlin as well. The hotel is huge but check-in was nonetheless efficient. If possible try to get a room on a high floor as the views are great from the higher floors (if that does not work there is also a terrace on the top floor). The room we had was rather small but efficently planned. The bed was not huge but still enough room for two normal sized persons but it was very soft so not a great bed. The shower and toilet were both behind (separate) glass doors. The shower did have a curtain that sort of could block some of the visibility from the room.The toilet did luckily enough have frosted glass but it is sort of a strange design. The room also had a small desk that was possible to sit and work at. There is no wifi in the room but wired Internet is available but the charges are outrageous, if I remember correctly it was €16 or something like that for 24hr hours. The room also had a (too) small TV, safe (very inconvenient location, have to bend down on floor with high risk of hitting head when getting up). The whole lay-out of the room is done to fit as much as possible in a small space as possible and they have done a decent job. Some annoying things are the lack of water kettle,iron and ironing board (noted info that it was possible to have ironing board sent up to room on request but still prefer to have it in the room). The breakfast buffet was included in our rate and it was better than average. Good selection of hot and cold food. I did like the fact that it was possible to order an omelet. The draw-back was that it was crowded, noisy and also the beverage selection was poor (and the quality of especially the juice was equally poor). All together it is a good option if you do not plan to use Internet at the hotel and do not mind small rooms with soft beds. read more

The location is great, however, the hotel itself is not worth the money. The bathroom offered no privacy, the walls were literally see through and the shower caused water to get everywhere. The worst part was the building blocked cellular service and the daily fees for wifi were more than my global package. International hotels should offer free wifi- its tacky not to. Also, be aware- there's also no microwave, fridge or English channels (besides the news). Location is close to the underground, trains and bus so this was the best part. There was even an October festival going on in the square. Please note: the owner did contact me stating some of these items may be changed in the future so I'm happy to report this establishment listens to its reviewers! read more

I was there for a conference and this hotel was perfectly located right on the Plaza. Easy access to all sorts of public transit including buses, u-bahn and s-bahn. It is a very large hotel with a lot of rooms and so there is always masses of crowds in the lobby. I have stayed at other Radissons in the US and elsewhere and I have also been happy with the facilities and service. The staff were kind and responsive but everything is about upselling in this hotel. That was a little disappointing for a quality chain. 1. I arrived early in the morning. Showered at the airport and headed to the hotel. Luggage storage costs 2 euros per bag. Seriously? 2. Their check-in counter does not even open in the morning until their checkout for the day is done. I hung around the lobby to request an early check-in. They upsold a corner room. The view was good but still, the room was just okay. Beware when you get this room and you have a guest in your room and you want to use the bathroom! 3. Wi-fi costs additional money. Since I had an upgraded corner room, wi-fi was very ineffective and yet I had to pay. On the one hand, the city is a self-styled capital of internet entrepreneurship and yet the internet connectivity and reach is so behind so many other cities in the world. 4. No fridge in the room. C'mon. No room service and no fridge. That is not cool. 5. One evening, the staff member who cleaned my room left the windows open. This was 30 degree F weather and I came back to the room which was super cold. 6. I didn't eat breakfast at the hotel. But I ate once at the bar/restaraunt and it was not bad. Excellent service at the bar. Step out of the hotel and there are plenty of options. Overall, excellent and very convenient location. Will I stay there again? Probably not. read more

We only visited here to go to the Panorama Terrace and so it was a pretty quick visit. The entrance to the hotel is easy to find from Alexanderplatz and you need to purchase a ticket for the terrace on the ground floor at €4pp. You then take the second set of elevators up to level 37 and walk the final three stories to level 40. I was expecting this to be more of lounge bar but it really is a terrace and as such, I'm not really sure how long you'd visit for. You get great views across Berlin and of the TV tower, and there's a map pointing out landmarks. There's a tiny bar so you can buy some drinks, and there were lounge chairs stacked in the corner. The photos of the terrace definitely look different from how it actually is - namely the fact there is netting obscuring your view, whereas the photos make it look beautiful and open. We stayed for around 10 minutes before leaving again - if it had a proper bar area we probably would have stayed to have a drink but there didn't seem to be much point. All the nice bar areas seem to be on level 37 which they use for functions/corporate stuff. That being said, if you have a thing for heights and want to check out Berlin from above, this is probably a better option than the TV tower which starts at €13. read more

Though it seems like this hotel is mostly frequented by large tour groups and conferences, I'd recommend it for just about anyone due to its amazing location, more than adequate amenities, and appealing price! Pros: -Perfect location! So easy to walk to museum island or take the train to just about anywhere else! -Very affordable (though the breakfast is not!) -Surrounded by shops so you can pick up anything from snacks to souvenirs in a matter of minutes! -Beds are clean and comfortable -Rooms seem somewhat new/freshly painted -Plenty of outlets and lights -Gym is small but clean and not busy Cons: -Long line to check in (but only sometimes) -Not a lot of space to hang out in the lobby, especially for such a large hotel -Wifi is slow and spotty -It can be a hassle to use your keycard in the elevator every time -Bathrooms are set up without any privacy, so it's difficult to shower if people are coming in and out of your room read more

OK so if you're looking for an inexpensive/budget hotel for business in Alexanderplatz and you're arriving after 3pm, I'd say this place is adequate, especially for solo travelers. It's definitely a *Radisson* and looks like it. The lobby is a tacky ZOO and half the staff is TERRIBLY RUDE. There is a cheap souvenir shop, pamphlet stands everywhere, long, roped-off lines to check in (or do anything), and a lobby restroom that you have to PAY to use. I arrived at 8am and asked if we could check in and the woman YELLED at me that check-in wasn't until 3 (I wasn't being rude or anything). I asked if there was any chance we could check in early and she YELLED again that check-in wasn't guaranteed until 3pm. I looked around for a comfortable spot to relax in the lobby but it's not that kind of a place. Very touristy and hectic (and you can't even go to the bathroom without paying). I came back at around noon and asked someone else who also YELLED at me saying to come back at 3. Finally when I checked in, things were better. The room was small but adequate for 100 euro or so. The only problem with the room was they did a poor remodeling job with the bathroom; they basically ripped out the original bathroom and created two small glass stalls - one for the toilet and one for the shower. But they're so thin and flimsy that you can hear everything going on from the outside. Not ideal if you have to go to the bathroom and you're not alone in the room. They also charge you for Wifi which is a bit annoying (and difficult if not impossible to use before check-in). All in all, it's *fine*, but if you're going for pleasure and you can afford it, I'd strongly recommend checking out Soho House nearby instead. read more

Visiting from California on business. Here are the things I like: *While waiting for the elevator, the Muzak played a remix of Opus III/Kirsty Hawkshaw's "It's a Fine Day." In 2013. I let eight elevators go by so I could hear the whole thing. *Six days a week from 6-10:30 a.m., show your room key at Humboldt's and get into the buffet breakfast for free. *Like a lot of places in Germany, the windows inexplicably open. Having a hotel room with openable windows is a treat. *All the workers speak fluent English and don't get mad at me for only speaking Spanish and English. There is no cell reception in a lot of places, but apparently that's normal here. All for 100 euros (yes plural of euro is euros--it's in the EU style guide) a night midweek? Sign me up! read more

Visiting Berlin on a business trip I´ve stayed in this hotel for two nights. The welcome at the reception is cool to say the least (no greeting, no friendly "how are you today"); staff is professional but makes frequent errors (wrong room-nr indicated on the key; key not working; requested additional pillows not delivered; questions on internet access rudely dismissed). Rooms are very small but well isolated (no noise from outside). Views over Berlin are great. Shower and bathroom are ok but in my case were not properly cleaned (towels were not changed although requested; stains from the previous guest were visible on the floor). Internet access costs 18EUR per day which is ridiculous but unfortunately rather common for that sort of hotels in Germany. Getting access to the internet if you operate with more than two devices (i.e. laptop and IPAD) is complicated and not very use-friendly. Staff is not helpful in resolving the issue at all. Breakfast is great and has a broad assortment of different meals. Overall this is what was to expect from a park Inn hotel. read more

Terrible hotel! Came on upscale tour and we got a funky modern design hotel where I opened a door thinking it was the toilet but it was the closet. Glassed in shower stall overflowed since drainage was nonfunctional. Room temperature is fixed on freezing but refrigerator was well stocked which made no difference to me. Stick to a hotel on the west side. Yuck! read more

The best part thing about this place is the restaurant. We ate breafast here twice and it was compeltely filling and varied. We were full til mid-afternoon. We had dinner here and it was incredibly delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the portions were generous but not too heavy. The service was a little slow because there were not mainy waiters working but the bartenders were awesome and super nice. The room was functional but I felt like we were on a boat. Very tiny, strange bathroom set up with only a curtain to separate the sink/ shower from the room. The pillows were old and worn barely any fluff. The wifi is extra $$ and didn't work in our room. The bed was worse than a futon mattress. The location is awesome though, for touring AND there is a rooftop view that is phenomenal and you can drink beers up there! So overall it was an okay experience but I think next time I'll stay in another area at another hotel. read more

This centrally located hotel made it super easy to reach from Schoenefeld airport (take the S9 straight there, around 40 minutes). The views from the 13th floor room, which we were allocated gave us a lovely view of the city and the room was of a decent size. There is the small issue of the shower and toilet only being a frosted glass wall which separates them from the bedroom but I didn't find this a problem at all. After calling the front desk for an iron this was brought up promptly to our room. The breakfast was plentiful and varied, although the breakfast room does get particularly crowded at the weekends. Although I would not personally return as I now prefer to stay in Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain, as a base for first time visitors this is definitely a place I would recommend. read more

I loved the location. Check in was easy and got into the room at 11am did pay for early checkin. I was worried about speaking German but everyone speaks English. The rooms were small and comfortable, clean and modern. The hotel is conveniently placed in high traffic area where there is metro, shopping and food. We also prepaid for breakfast but not too far is the "Back Factory" where you can get breakfast easily to stay or go but the breakfast we paid for on the second floor was really good and lots of options. Check out was also painless and simple. Overall I liked this hotel and would stay in it again. The tour busses also stop right in front of hotel. read more

I had a great stay but I did make sure i had the best view and wasn't really paying, so the cost was not a factor in my enjoyment. Would have liked wifi in the room but it was cabled in, albeit expensive. The breakfast was great.. Just about any possible thing you could want. One of the stranger things i remember was that the elevators were super quick and made popping back to the room from the bar very easy no matter how high. Being super central it was handy for the Web 2.0 conference as well as anything you wanted in town. read more

Still charging €10 a day for wifi in 2017 is complete madness. It's so bad if my $1400 reservation wasn't completely non refundable I would have walked right the f out at check in. read more

Park Inn by Radisson Berlin, Germany - Avoid it like the Plague! Yesterday my wife and I checked into The Park Inn in Berlin, Germany, a Radisson property. This hotel is a fine example of how even the worst of the worst can look like the best of the best online. The help is nasty and inefficient ... with some exception naturally. The rooms are so small that if there's more than one person in them, you can't help but get in each other's way. If you are a business traveler, don't expect to get any "REAL" work done in your room. To say the desk space inadequate would be kind. In the first room (we were given a standard room) the desk chair was so close to the bed that you couldn't hardly get into it ... and I'm a relatively slim guy. My present room (an upgrade) has a desk that is about 2.75 ft. X 2.5 ft. with a lamp and hard wired phone on it, neither of which can be effectively moved. Also, internet access will cost you a whopping 18 euro per day (about $24.00 dollars). There is no bathroom. I say that because the bathroom is literally in your bedroom. Naturally, there is no counter space for toiletries, not even for a toothbrush. I've stayed in better motels for 80% less. When we went to the lobby bar for a beer, it took more than 10 minutes to be served our first beer, and we were sitting at the bar not at a table. We waited so long for our second, we decided to pass. I've traveled throughout the US and in more than 40 other countries for over 35 years for business. Never in my career have I stayed at a property so overpriced, with such poor service. Don't be fooled by the Radisson brand here. This place more closely resembles a poorly run Days Inn or Econo-Lodge. BTW, I've stayed in many hotels throughout Germany. This property is not typical. It defies everything I know to be German; a country where folks are efficient, pleasant, helpful and accommodating in every way. So, while it is true this hotel is in a good location as goes Berlin, my advise, stay someplace else and take a bus, tram or cab. Location isn't everything!!! read more

This is a terrible hotel. The manager of the hotel is deaf to complaints and completely unable to find solutions. It's an embarrassment to the Radisson chain and each impression they make on each guest will soil Radisson's reputation. The rooms are small and very badly designed. The shower, sink and toilet are in three separate rooms that don't connect. Getting ready in the morning is a nightmare. On this 90-degree (Fahrenheit) day there is no air conditioning. Every call to the service desk resulted in a promise to alert the technician, but no change in 48 hours. I find out later that there is a problem with the system (not just my room) and the promise to call a technician was dishonest. I received no help from the front desk, guest services or the concierge. Stay away from this disaster of a hotel. read more

My husband and I stayed at the Park Inn Alexander Platz Oct 23/24. This hotel is in a good location next to the train station, shopping area and within a very short walk to the Berlin TV Tower. The plaza where it is located celebrated October fest at the beginning of Oct and we were able to experienced that as we were in Berlin at that time but stayed at a different hotel. From the top of this hotel there is a platform where people jump on a free fall with a harness to the bottom and it is very exciting to watch. The hotel is nice and our room had an awesome view of the TV Tower but it was extremely small and the bathroom is not on a separate room it just have a curtain for privacy. The breakfast buffet is very good and the hotel personnel are helpful and courteous. It is the tallest hotel in Berlin and extremely busy, it is ok but it was the only hotel during our 3 week trip in eastern Europe that charged for Internet even at the Lobby, for that reason and the very small room it gets a 3 star in my opinion. read more

No idea about the actual hotel but make sure to get your ticket to the flight of your life. Down the roof top. This has nothing suicidal, more the greatest kick of adrenalin you get when purchasing your "flight" from Jochen Schweizer's Base Flying Station on the rooftop of the hotel. Hanging over Alexanderplatz and waiting for them to release me to gravity was bizarrely exhilarating and made me blast out a noise, which would make a primal scream stand in the corner crying. Do it! http://www.parkinn-berlin.de/baseflying-de.html read more

Great hotel. Great location. The rooms are spacious (not massive, like some super suite, at least ours wasn't, but they're big enough). The view from the room was wonderful. This place is kept clean and the staff is friendly and efficient. There are also very good restaurants and bars on site. The concierge service can hook you up with (or point you in the right direction of) anything you need. They have all the amenities (room service, laundry service, gym, internet, etc.), and there's always a cab out front if you need one. This place gets a firm "thumbs up" from me... read more

massive hotel with a Penneys ( yes thats right a Penneys or Primark over there on the side of the hotel) and a Burger King so happy days ...we stayed on the 24th floor room was small enough but has everything you need EXCEPT : tea coffee making facilities ( try waking up with a banging headache from all the German lager and not having a coffee close to hand) , double bed was 2 single beds pushed together ...f**king hate when hotels do this shower was grand , not a room id spend a huge amount of time in. Breakfast was typical German mentalness which you would expect buffet style hot and cold options.... cereals, fruit, fresh crusty bread , with salami , weird meats , cheese , etc and for the hot options.... sausages (hot dogs) rashers , mushrooms scrambled eggs , fried eggs , and ....roast potatoes mmmmmm tasty. Staff are a miserable bunch but then again our in Germany so hardly the most smiley bunch of people you will ever come across. There is a restaurant in the Hotel called SPAGOS which if Im honest if you are drinking in here its because you are a spa ....because this is where a spagos!....€5 for a small beer , got a pizza and it was tiny €14 and had just peperoni they have nightly entertainment which is a bloke with a keyboard and a drum machine singing all the hits except not knowing all the words and in a thick German accent ...so this was gas to watch then cringey after 5 mins. All in all you cant get a more central hotel than here, but dont come expecting to relax in your room, staff are grand and knowledgeable and there is a concierge where you can buy tickets for bus tours etc read more

I found the park in to be in a good location for access to the sights of berlin. It is situated right next to the TV tower and we were lucky to get a room facing that direction. Rooms are simple and clean. The bar has a welcoming atmosphere. I had read some reviews from people put off by see through toilet cubicles in the rooms but the glass if frosted and it really isn't a big deal. Also they operate a 'base jump' from the roof which ran right past our window (although only on one day). We really enjoyed watching people flying past the window on ropes - very entertaining! A short walk of s-Bahn ride gets you to all the man attractions of Berlin - i would recommend purchasing a travel pass at the airport on arrival as this allows use of the s-barn, u-barn and buses around the city. I would stay here again of in Berlin as it offers great value for money as a base for the week. read more

I stayed here with my Mum on a city break a couple of years ago and have to say that it s still one of the best hotels I've stayed in. I love how modern and clean it is and the staff a re mega efficient but they're not a fast as the lift which is so quick it makes you feel like you're going into orbit! On arrival we asked if we could get a decent view and this was no problem - our room was facing the TV tower and that big globe thing with all the times on. They were working more on the site while we were there so it muc=st look even better now! Can't wait to go back! read more

The hotel is in a very convenient location and you get a good sized room that is clean at an affordable price. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel seemed a bit crowded with people and that is typically a sign of a popular hotel. I would definitely stay here again the next time I am in the area. read more

I don't even know where to start with this review. The hotel staff was relatively friendly, the views were pretty good, and the metro/shopping was all pretty close but those are the only positive things I have to say. We were told our rooms would be ready at noon and when we arrived we were told that they would not be ready until 3pm. They had a luggage check but did not give it to us complementary even though it was their error and we had to pay to check all 10 of our combined bags. Booked two separate rooms for around $220 each and NEITHER room came with free wifi. Yes, you read that correctly. You have to pay €9.90 per day for wifi. The doors were a complete mess. The room I was in had a jammed door that you had to fight to open, and the room my friends were in had a door that you had to fight to close. Between the two rooms we were only given 3 keys (usually 2 per room) each with multiple guests. The phone didn't work in my friends room which was a huge inconvenience when you're from out of country and don't have access to free internet to communicate. No mini-bar/fridge which is okay but just a heads up. The towels were also horribly small. The kind you wipe your face or dry your hair with, not the kind you can wrap around your waist. I had to use 4 of these small towels to dry off after a shower. The shower was also located directly next to the beds and made for a little bit of uncomfortable waterworks. The vanity lighting was also incredibly poor but there was a full size mirror to compensate. Room freebies included- body wash, hand soap, shoe horn, and shoe polish. Wasn't impressed, especially for the price. Would not recommend unless you get to stay for free. read more

This was my first and LAST stay at the Park Inn by Radisson, Berlin. First off the customer service was the worst I've encountered. I had issues with the Wifi connection in my room and nobody could help resolve the issue. I went down to the help desk, on three separate occasions during my stay and nothing changed. So I end up paying €9.90 per day for Internet that didn't even work. For the price and commendations that were booked I felt like that money could've been well spent at any other local hotel nearby. I definitely wouldn't recommend this Hotel to any tourist looking to enjoy your stay in Berlin. read more

the location and pricing are great, especially given the amenities that are included in the cost. the rooms aren't giant by american standard, however they are clean and modern. for american standards this more of a studio rather than a proper hotel room with a separate bathroom that includes a shower. the separate room is for the toilet, while the shower is right next to the sink which is next to the bed. there is a curtain that does a fabulous job of keeping in the moisture and gives you privacy. i shared the room during my visit and we were content. you can't beat their breakfast that is included in the price. they offer everything i could think of... and it's good. it worked great for us, as we would eat and then take some things to go in our purses during our day's adventure. the location is near a bahn stop which helps getting around much easier. also, other tourist spots are walkable from the hotel. plus, i'm sure everyone gets an amazing view as it's one of the tallest buildings in the mitte area. the staff was great. everything i asked or needed, they were very accomodating... including when my bag was delivered by the airport (as it had gone missing when i landed). i normally don't like hotel experiences, though this one definitely stands out in a positive way. read more
