Select Hotel Berlin Gendarmenmarkt

Location. Staff quite pleasant.

Gloomy. Weak as a 4 star. No bar of soap, no washcloths, no USB port in room or plug to borrow. Elevator capacity inadequate. Fine as 2 1/2 or 3 star, but wouldn't get 4 stars by any stretch of imagination.

Location was very good.

It would have been nice to use lobbys internet without cost.

Very accessible

The shower is a little too open and visible in twin rooms. This is a bit odd if you are not sharing with a partner.

We appreciated the location of the hotel near the centre of the city, within walking distance of many major attractions. We had an upgraded room which we especially appreciated. Not sure what the regular rooms would have been like....

Excellent location, clean, good value for money.

Small room

This hotel was very cheap for a 4 star - but not cheap enough for the poor design of the room. Close to Check Point Charlie and the U Barn and had a supermarket and japanese restaurant around the corner. The rooms were very modern given it is a relatively new hotel. Staff were friendly. Automatic blinds as the room looked straight onto the incoming traffic on the main street.

This hotel is hazardous to stay in! Tiny is an understatment. The room was so poorly designed that I left after two nights with numerous bruises. I know I paid for a standard room but I expected to be able to turn around in the shower without bruising myself and get in and out of bed without bruising myself and having to jump over things. Did I mention I am only 5ft 1 and 42kgs? There are separate doonas and the beds are small. The bed is surrounded by wooden edges which you are most like to bruise yourself on. There was also a hole in my sheets which made the flimsy foam mattress and cheap lumpy pillows even worse! Did I mention that the closet was smaller than a mini bar? Good luck fitting even 1 winter parka in there!
