Hotels near Schwules Museum in Berlin

I went to this hotel for a mid-week vacation with my lovely daughter. With an UBER it was about 10 Euro to get to the hotel. Check-in was smooth, the older man behind the desk wasnt overly friendly but rather efficient and that was fine. We paid the tourist-tax and got one room-key for our room. We paid online about 80 Euro a night and we got a room with three beds at the back. The room was clean and simple. A desk with a big-screen TV, a shower-room with a toilet and a wash-basin. The shower was ok but we didnt like the shower-curtains. Also the water would be warm for about five minutes but it didnt bother us. Everyday cleaning with new linen and towels. In the morning you can have breakfast but you have to pay for it. We didnt use it. The hotel is set conveniently in the middle of Berlin near Kurfurstenstrasse and Dam. Near the U-Bahn and busses.

I like this place, I always live here every time I go to Berlin! Good location, there are several supermarkets nearby, kdv is also very close, very quiet, the park is on the side!

This is a very affordable 2 star hotel and it certainly feels like it. They provide the bare minimum and not much more. Our stay was OK with some disappointments. The biggest problem was the bathroom. Bathroom floor was filthy and there was quite a large amount of visible black mold on the walls. Also the area was quite shady and we didn't feel safe walking around in the evening. Service was OK and the breakfast was fine compared to the price. Air conditioning worked well. Over all an average stay but we probably would not stay here again.

The good news is that the Illy coffee from the Illy machine in the bedroom is superb. All the rest is bad, and worse. Marriott seems to believe that lots of marble in the bathrooms is the most important ingredient in making a good hotel. They're wrong. The key to running a good hotel is service. And the service at the Hotel Berlin Central District is awful. As usual, my wife and I are traveling for both business and pleasure -- conferences in London and Berlin, a week of tourism in the wilds of Brittany, and a week of seeing friends, visiting art galleries, etc., in Paris. So we are traveling heavy. We need to carry a lot of clothing -- plus the tools for doing business -- multiple laptops, other communications equipment, etc. When we arrived at the hotel, there was absolutely nobody to help us get our stuff from the taxi into the hotel. In fact, during the entire week we were there, there never was anybody in front of the hotel to help anybody with anything -- including when we left. There is no concierge service. We asked the people at the reception desk to help us on a number of concierge-type issues. They were totally untrained to do so. For example, the first night we were there, we asked for recommendations for a restaurant outside the hotel -- within walking distance. We were given a map, with a circle drawn around an area near Potsdamer Platz. We walked there and found a collection of fast-food joints, such as Burger King, and a couple of pizzerias. She might have asked us if that was what we had in mind. It wasn't. On another occasion, I asked for help in finding a pharmacy. It took the lady about 20 minutes to find the name of a pharmacy and to print out a Google map showing Potsdamer Platz, with an arrow showing where the pharmacy was supposed to be. I wandered around the area for a bit, found nothing, and asked a taxi driver who was parked in a queue. He stared at the map, pulled out his cell-phone, plugged in the German word for ”apothecary”, and showed me where it was. The arrow was in the wrong place. On a number of occasions, I tried to call the reception desk from our room. Nobody ever answered the phone -- with one exception. After ten minutes of waiting, somebody picked up the phone -- and immediately hung up on me. Once again, the Illy coffee is brilliant. But the first day we were there, we were provided two capsules of regular coffee and two capsules of de-caffinated. My wife and I both like real coffee and lots of it. So we asked the people at reception to tell whomever that we would much prefer getting four capsules of real coffee. We also left a note (in German) for the cleaning crew telling them the same thing. The next day we got two capsules of real coffee and two of decaffeinated. I reminded the lady at reception. The following day, we got two capsules of decafinated and one of real coffee. And things got worse from there. After a couple of days, we ran out of Kleenex tissues in the bath room. I left the

I stayed one night at the Quentin XL during a business trip in November. The hotel looks good from the outside and the interior is modern and fancy. However...during check in I got a keycard to room 126. I had 30 minutes to prepare for a dinner with business colleagues. Went upstairs...card didn’t work so I went down again. Man in reception gave me new card without apology. I went up again....same story. Down again, no apology, up again and now with the staff member...did not work. Down again! At this point, when he was planning the fourth trip up stairs I lost my patience and demanded a new room. I got a new room but after this negative check-in experience I was not satisfied. Needless to say I was late for my dinner.

We arrived to a friendly welcome at this lovely hotel . Excellent room, well appointed with a modern ensuite bathroom . Breakfast was a well laid out buffet with plenty of choice . Staff were once again very friendly and courteous with pots of tea or coffee served at the table . The hotel was well placed for sightseeing Berlin and we would thoroughly recommend it if that is the purpose of your visit . The foyer has a unique and fascinating light display which is a lovely feature to watch in the evening with a quiet drink . We understand that there is a pool and gym facility but unfortunately we didn't have time to visit that section of the hotel during our three night stay .

We stayed in Berlin for 3 nights and could not be happier about our stay at Pestana Berlin Tiergarten. The hotel is located within walking distance to all major attractions and you can easily rent a bike or an electric scooter to go anywhere in the city. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome at all times. The room was simple but beautifully decorated and offered all the comodities, including a TV that allows you to connect with your electronic devices (it helps when you don't speak german). The swimming pool is a great option for a relaxing time after a long day in the city. And the breakfast... best baked pastries I have had in a hotel in a while. Not underbaked, not overbaked, just perfect! Will definitely come back.

This is a gorgeous spanking brand-new hotel in Berlin. Reception is exceptionally courteous, friendly and accommodating - I couldn't have asked for a better team of associates. The bar staff, breakfast room staff, concierge, and even the maintenance staff are as wonderful. I had a lovely large room with the most comfortable bed & pillows - all in modern, tasteful decor. The room also had amenities such as a mini-fridge, coffee service, waters, robe, and iron and work desk area with accessible power points on top (no bending under the desk here!) Upon arrival & departure I was greeted warmly . This sets the tone for a positive experience and I certainly felt the genuine welcome with pleasant smiles and friendly nature. The hotel is quite accessible to 2 U-Bahn stations, and within walking distance of the Berlin Zoo. Getting around Berlin is fairly easy with a well-integrated underground system of U-Bahn & S-Bahn trains. The hotel is on a quiet road across the Los Angeles Platz small park/square. Everything Berlin has to offer is easily accessible, plus plenty of shopping, dining and outdoor activities within a small perimeter. Vielen Dank für Ihre freundliche Gastfreundschaft!

The hotel location was very convenient! Just 10 minutes away from the Alexandriaplatz station. Very clean hotel but a bit noisy. The pillow and bed were comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff. Really enjoyed my stay! Wifi connection was good too. Overall I’m fully satisfied and definitely come back soon.

I stayed for 7 days because I was attending an exhibition in Berlin. The room facilities were basic. They were soundproofed and clean. The rooms were cleaned every day and there was free water. The hotel is very convenient to walk nearby (this is the biggest advantage compared to the price). You can see the Gestapo Headquarters, Jewish Monument, Berlin Mall (shopping) and Balanmen Gate in 30 minutes' walk. There are restaurants and supermarkets nearby, which is basically very convenient. . The inconvenience is that the hotel is too big and it is a tourist hotel. There is always a queue at the front desk and breakfast is always overcrowded. Don't expect any service. Just do everything yourself. This price buys convenience and safety. It's safe to walk around the surrounding neighborhoods.
