art'otel Berlin Mitte

"I’ve been staying at this hotel for several years and overall I still enjoy it, though it does feel like it has slipped slightly over time. The location remains excellent, with a subway station right outside, the rooms are nice, and the beds are very comfortable. There are, however, a few changes I’ve noticed. Previously, if you stayed more than two nights and chose not to have your room serviced, you could collect four complimentary items from the small ‘shop’ – things like a beer, a small bottle of wine, crisps, nuts, snacks or chocolate bars. That’s no longer offered. The bar, Upside Down, is still a lovely space, but they no longer serve bar snacks either. Breakfast continues to be very good, especially with the option of freshly cooked eggs. However the boiled eggs that are in the buffet are always cold, not even a bit warm, but proper cold In my room, I had a some minor issues: both desk lamps weren’t working, and there’s a large black three-metre light fixture just below the ceiling that doesn’t seem to serve any real purpose. The window handle pole, which should twist to allow the window to open, also appears to be broken. A few of the TV channels didn’t work so well, very pixelated/frozen picture that indicated it was losing signal/poor reception. Really annoying when there are only 3 or 4 TV channels in your language and the only one you do want to actually watch is the one that’s faulty! None of these were major problems, and I didn’t raise them at the time as I prefer not to have someone in the room while I’m working for the sake of small niggles. Plus, it was only a 3 night stay. That said, it does give the impression that the property has become a little neglected over the years. As a VIP member with the highest status membership, I also didn’t receive a room upgrade despite the hotel not being particularly busy, nor was there any recognition of my status at check-in. Nor was I able to get a late check out due to the hotel being “fully booked” which it wasn’t ( You can check this by doing a dummy booking on the hotel website – at least 12 rooms were available!) Would I stay here again? Quite possibly. It’s still a pleasant place to stay – it just feels like it could benefit from a little more attention to detail."

"We’ve just returned from a wonderful 4-night stay at art’otel Berlin Mitte, and honestly, it was first class from start to finish. The location is simply the best — right in the heart of the city and just a short stroll to Museum Island. It made exploring Berlin effortless, with so many major sights within easy walking distance and great public transport connections nearby. Our room was spacious, bright, and absolutely spotless. The beds were exactly how we like them — firm and incredibly comfortable — which meant we slept brilliantly every night. The reception team were fantastic throughout our stay. They gave excellent restaurant recommendations and were always happy to help us navigate the public transport system, which made getting around the city so easy. A special mention to Akshay behind the bar, who whisked up amazing drinks each evening while sharing a little history of the building — such a lovely personal touch that really enhanced the experience. Breakfast was another highlight. The selection of both cooked and cold items was extensive and delicious, and we especially appreciated that it was served until 11am — perfect for a leisurely city break like ours. All in all, an outstanding stay in a superb location. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Berlin!"

"I loved this hotel and will stay again. Context - 2 male friends, in their 40s on city and night life visit. The hotel is perfectly placed by a U-Bahn station (U2) and/or short walk from many central places. Able bodied walk was 20 mins to Alexandra Platz and 30-40 to Brandenberg Gate. The U-Bahn was 100 meters from the hotel door. Outside also convenient for Bus and Uber/Taxi. Airport - 40-60 mins from Airport by train and U-Bahn. 30 mins by Taxi/Uber. Very friendly welcome and comfortable stay. Attentive and helpful staff. Secure baggage storage on last day after check-out. We didn't use the other facilities but they looked good. We didn't eat breakfast in the hotel but there are several bakery-cafe's locally, including one 100 meters away (da-Bake) on the corner of Wallstrasse and Inselstrasse which was fantastic. Which Room - we had big double rooms in the court-yard view. The front view wouldn't be a 'view' but maybe more interesting. The court-yard was very quiet but the road outside the hotel seemed very quiet anyway and well insulated for noise. It was a quiet stay. Even down the corridors the noise was minimal. Conveniences - room does have kettle, coffee/teas, hair-dryer and safe. Room was vey clean. Sure, a cracked tile here and there but its a comfortable hotel for a comfortable price - pay 4x as much for something "perfect". For price - absolutely reasonable and perfect. Beds are firm but that is to my preference as a front-sleeper. My "only" complaint - the courtesy shower gel and soaps... smell like a cheap Jean Paul Gaultier that a teenage boy would bathe in... once used, takes a long time to wear off. So bring your own shampoo and soap. If the hotel read this... please... change this. And maybe softer toilet paper (too each their own). I will be choosing this hotel again!"
