Arcotel Velvet Berlin in Berlijn

Het hotel op zich is prima. Het uitzicht van kamer 211 is slecht (het zijn de overige kamers van het hotel). Voorts is het ontbijt slecht. Een beperkt aantal belegde broodjes met kaas of ham waarop een grote schijf komkommer, waardoor het broodje nat en taai werd. Waarom geen ontbijt buffet???

This hotel was just great! Enjoyed a lovely couple of days/nights here. The rooms have been designed in a pretty cool manner, we especially liked the semi-open bathroom and the HUGE window looking out over the Oranienburger Strasse, one of my most beloved streets/areas in Berlin. About the bathroom: it has been separated from the room by an elegant […] white curtain that can be opened or kept closed. However, 'closed' still means that you can see through it, so this hotel might be more suitable for couples than for people who are less used to eachothers full-glory appearance :D The quality of the shower was great too, I am sort of picky with showers but this one did have a decent stream of water coming out of it, and the temperature was easy to regulate. The bed could have been a tiny little bit bigger. I didn't sleep too well, probably because the bed was a bit narrow, but it could also just be my boyfriend (2 meters tall), I do have this problem at home every now and then as well. The bed was comfortable though, and they provide two pillows per person that are different in size and thickness, so you can pick whichever you want. About the neighbourhood: Like I said, Oranienburger Strasse is just a perfect street for a hotel. It is close (walking distance) to the city center with all the major tourist attractions. Furthermore, it is a very lively street, lots of people go out there during the week-ends. There are a bunch of cheap yet very good restaurants too. For dinner and 1-2 drinks, you won't have to spend more than like 10-12 euros. One drawback could be that during the week-ends the noise from the street does reach the hotel rooms (ours was on the 5th floor, still we could hear quite a lot of fun going on :)). We didn't mind and slept well, but for people who are more sensitive to noise, bring ear plugs or maybe ask for a room at the non-street side of the hotel. Ok, so all was pretty perfect in the hotel, except for one thing: breakfast. The breakfast was ok Lees meer

After bad start where we were put into a room specifically designed for disabled travellers with shower only and we had had a request for room with bath confirmed, we were put in room 512. Very good room in size, quietness, and comfort. Easy walking and interesting sights in neighbourhood. Would certainly recommend this hotel .

Nice boutique hotel. Our room was a good size and it was well decorated. An apple for each of us everyday was a pleasant surprise. Located a short subway or tram ride to many sights in a tourist area. Would stay there again. Floor to ceiling windows if at front of hotel.

This hotel has no ammenities. It is basically a reception, a lift, and hotelrooms. As such, it needs to compensate with more comfortable rooms. The problem here is that this is not the case - and so the hotel is overpriced. The recommendation is to look for a better option - you can get a proper hotel for this price-level. The quality of the beds MUST […] be improved! Even if you like firm beds (and I do) the beds at this hotel are hard and basically uncomfortable. The result is that you will end up sleeping less than you would want to/need. Not ideal for either holiday or business. Lees meer

Great service and perfect location! However, only side note that is negative would be the wifi being only in public areas and not in the rooms - advertised not as clearly as this.

If you like an alternative art-culture then you will like this hotel.If you prefer more a classic feeling & n-hood then you probably won't

Visited this hotel for 5 nights. The Hotel is well located in the center of Berlin very close to the Metro. The stuff is very young and friendly. The complementary internet is a very big plus for this nice Hotel. I highly recommend it to everybody who wants to visit Berlin.

Great location, interesting architecture, great except that despite triple glazing couldn't sleep due to the thud, thud, thud of the bass from a neighbouring club night. Real shame. Love a rave as much as the next guy, but really tedious when a) next to hotel and b) having to get up at 6 am to get a flight. Arcotel need to sort it out - then it will […] be the ideal spot to stay with good value - but not until then. Lees meer

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel.Staff were very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed meals at resturaunt next door. Location suite us .Hotel very modern and clean

We had an enjoyable stay at this hotel, rooms are small but clean. We took a room at the back of the hotel as the staff told us it was quieter. We had also requested a non-smoking room when we booked and had to pay extra when we checked in for a non-smoking room so that was a little disappointing. Very close to Museum Isle and a nice walk to Brandenburg […] Gate & Riechstag. We did take the u-bahn which is just around the corner from the hotel for anywhere that we were going that is a little further away. There is a 24 hour convenience type of store also by the u-bahn that we visited often for water and other treats. Couple of nice restaurants right across the street. Some "interesting" activity happening just a few buildings away from the hotel but we felt safe in the neighborhood. Happy that we weren't right in the middle of touristville, but close to all the activity. Lees meer

Really Lovely Hotel in Great Location

The hotel was exactly like the photos online and the location is great. Tons of restaurants on the street and central to everything by train or walking. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They were able to give us electrical adapters and wifi was free. The bartender made great drinks, even if they were a bit pricy. The rooms were on the small […] side but not uncomfortable. The only issue was the air conditioning was very week and we had to open the window, which meant letting in the noise. Also for some reason the sink is huge and a little awkward. Still would definitely recommend. Lees meer

Small but comfortable rooms. The area is full of young tourists but we couldn't hear them in the room. Nicely decorated, although the mattress and pillows were of lower quality. One oddity for american visitors is that while the toilet is behind closed doors, the shower and washroom are only separated from the bedroom by a sheer curtain. There is wired […] internet in the room and free wireless in the lobby. The takeaway breakfast is a tasty sandwich (either meat or cheese) and a piece of fruit. The coffee is okay, but there is a fantastic coffee place next door. Location is great. Just steps from the U-Bahn and a couple of blocks from Friedrichstrasse. Easy access to all of the main tourist sites: museums, unter den Linden, the Brandenburg Tor, the Reichstag. Lees meer

This hotel is centrally located in the Mitte area which is close to most tourist attractions. There is a U-bahn and S-bahn station very close by (about a block to a block and a half away). The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. They helped us with maps and directions and offered to print our boarding passes. The complimentary breakfast is a […] baguette with either ham or cheese and a piece of fruit. Coffee, tea, juice are also included. They pack it to go so you can either eat in the lounge or take it away. The breakfast was good and saved us time. There are lots of restaurants and cafes close to the hotel so there isn't a problem if you want to go out to eat. The room was neat and clean, but the layout was a little strange. It looked like the room was intended to have a double or queen bed, but since I asked for two beds they laid one bed along the wall and another across the headboard. The bathroom was also interesting because there isn't a shower or bath stall/curtain. The handheld shower is against a wall and a drain is in the middle of the floor. So if you're not careful you could get the entire bathroom wet and flooded because the water doesn't drain that quickly. I got used to the layout after a while. I still would recommend the hotel because of it's friendly staff and convenient location. Lees meer

Lady at the front desk made me feel like an idiot because I couldn't find my room, which had a decimal 616.1 Really curious behaviour as it wasn't on the wall when leaving the lift and others must face the same issue all the time.

I like the hotel a lot actually. The rooms were comfortable and the windows were very big and opened up, which I also liked. There is a button you can push in the room that gives the bathroom area a reddish glow. Something called Warmalampe or something like that. It seems geared more towards couples and less toward family though. As an example, the […] shower is separated from the rest of the room by a glass door which means you can see whoever is in the shower quite clearly until the glass fogs up. There is a mirror under the TV, which is mounted on the wall opposite the bed. If you lay on the bed and raise your head, you can see yourself in the mirror. Like I said, geared toward couples. There are fresh apples in the room everyday, which is a nice touch. My two peeves were that they didn't make up the room after our first day, which is not very good service at all. I was VERY upset about that. Also the breakfast is not sit down. They give you the food and you go elsewhere to eat it, which is weird. I loved the location. It was next to Tacheles, which is an artist collective. Lots of great places to eat right there on the same street and it's quite easy to walk to other spots on that side of Berlin plus the subway is just down the street as well. Very convenient. There is no wifi in the room, only in the lobby, another drawback. If you need to print anything, you can email it to the address provided by the front desk and they will print it out for you so that helps. All in all, i'd stay there again if I were only in Berlin for one night. Otherwise, i'd have to get assurances from the hotel that they will make up my room, but then you kind of have to ask yourself if it's such a good idea to stay at a place where you would have to ask for assurances that you would ordinarily assume you won't need.

A lovely little boutique hotel.

great location, easy to get to places, nice rooms, great beddings. there is no door to the shower, only curtain so people should be comfortable about this. I stayed with my 16 year old daughter and we loves it!

The hotel no longer has the noise problems with a neighbouring night club. Its staff is professional, the rooms were spotless and air conditioned. Unless your room faces the road in front of the hotel you can open your room's window wide. The public transit around the hotel is outstanding with S Bahn, U Bahn and street cars. There are a lot of restuarants […] in the area and within 20 minutes you can walk to several major museums, historic sites, art galleries, etc. I spent eleven days at the hotel. Lees meer

The Hotel Arcovelvet is in a great location, close to all the great spots for sightseeing and shopping but not yet it is not too touristy. The art squats next door make it a funky, arty part of town. The hotel itself is comfortable and clean. Rooms are lovely and staff very friendly. The small breakfast in the bar in the morning is a lovely touch that […] sets you up for the day. Will definitely be back. Lees meer

Great hotel for a long weekend. Ideally located in the Mitte district with great restaurants and bars close by. Even though the rate stated that breakfast was not included, the hotel proved breakfast snacks to eat in or take away. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again.

In the midle of it all, with it's cute architexture and the remot Bass-bit from club nearby Velvet is a comfortable spot yet compatible with the eclectic pulse of Berlin. not a family tipe neigbourhood at night - but a perfect spot to start the dailt tour and a nigtout. we loved it.

The room was a lot bigger than your average hotel room, the staff were friendly, a breakfast bagel and coffee was included (even though no "breakfast charge"), it was in a really exciting area of Mitte with lots of bars and there were apples in the room! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and would definitely recommend. It's very close to two stations […] as well. Lees meer

I loved my stay at Arcotel Velvet Berlin. Breakfast in the Velvet Lounge each morning was nice. They provided coffee, tea, brotchoen, pastries, yogurt, and fresh fruit every morning. The rooms were clean and they leave two apples in your room each day. I would stay here again if I have the opportunity to visit Berlin again.

This hotel is really tendy and unique with breathtaking views over the Berlin skyline. We stayed in the suite as there were 3 of us and it was fabulous. Really spacious and comfortable with floor to ceiling windows. The staff were lovely, there was a free breakfast we didn't know about and bowls of fruit around the place. It is in the perfect position […] for sightseeing as well as nightlife. just a short stroll from the river as well as all the sights near Alexsanderplatz. Our room actually overlooked some crazy clubs and a sculptue gallery. Really comfortable beds and good shower. Great if you want somewhere quirky and a bit different. Lees meer

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was cleaned everyday, there was a double bed (instead of two twin beds like most of Europe) and it was in a great location. Highly recommended

This hotel was an interesting place to stay. The location is ok (I liked it, I'm 24, but my mom wasn't as pleased with the young, artsy and a little weird neighborhood). It was an easy walk to Museum Island and all of the locations around that including the Berliner Dom (just remember that most of the tourist sites in Berlin are pretty close to one […] another and public transportation is very easy). The hotel room itself was very clean. The bathroom is an exact copy of a hospital bathroom, including having a drain in the floor so you shower in the middle of the room. It sounds weird, but it was fun and quirky (the only issue was that one person can't get ready using the bathroom mirror if the other person is using the shower). The view was great. Ask for one on the front of the building. The window covers the entire wall from floor to ceiling (very cool!). Lots of great restaurants surrounding the hotel, including a wonderful pizza place on the corner. Lees meer

Small, quiet hotel in Mitte Berlin. Postmodern room with nice solutions (white tents, glass replacing the whole wall and facing streetview). Free internet PC in the lobby. Steps from the subway. Nice nightlife in the surroundings. More than worth the price I paid.

Lots of restaurants close by. Shopping within a short walk. Staff was very nice and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Great value. We would stay there again.

We couldn't have been more happy with this hotel. The central Mitte location was perfect, within walking distances to restaurants, shops, attractions and transportation. And while the street was hopping, the room was quiet and comfortable. It had all the amenities and style of a boutique hotel at a great price. The staff was friendly and always hel […] pful.

This was our second stay at the hotel. It was just fine the first time, but on this occasion we were given an upper floor room with a fantastic sloping floor-to-ceiling window. The room was tiny, but the view was spectacular, especially when a violent rain storm pelted the window, and all of Berlin became an impressionist painting.

Das Hotel liegt gut, wenn man in Mitte geschäftlich oder privat unterwegs sein will. Insbesondere Kneipen und Kunst sind in unmittelbarer Umgebung, auch Shoppen. Das Hotel war mal ein Designtip, ist aber doch ein wenig abgewohnt inzwischen. Zimmer zur Straße nach vorne sind laut. Nach hinten angenehm.

Hotellet ligger supergodt i Berlin. Tæt på alt og i et spændende kvarter med mange restauranter. Det er nemt at gå til seværdigheder. Fra Tegel Airport tager det under ½ time med taxa. Nemt til forretninger og oplevelser i Berling.

Localização perfeita, ao lado do metrô, walking distance para os principais pts turísticos, rua cheia de restaurantes e cafés. Serviço gentil e proativo. Quarto aconchegante, limpo e decoração contemporânea e muito bonita, cheio de charme!

Hotellet ligger bra till, nära till tunnelbana och fler linjer några minuter söderut vid Friedrich Strasse. Stora fönster så var inte rädd för insyn eller be om rum högt upp. När vi var där i jan upplevde jag rummet som något kallt och vi lyckades inte få upp värmen. Rent och fräscht med badkar och liten minibar. Minus för lite hårda sängar och att […] vi inte hade något wi-fi. Tror man kan hitta bättre hotell i samma prisklass även om hotellet är helt ok, men 4 stjärnor är snäppet högt. Lees meer
