We would definately stay at this hotel again when in Berlin.The standard rooms are big enough and the bed was quite large and comfortable. The breakfasts are wonderful with fresh fruits, cereals, meats and even a fry up. Fresh coffee or tea is served at your table and the staff are all very friendly and extremely helpful.

The hotel is a stone's throw from Zoologischer Garten S-Bahn station. For west Berlin it's in a great location, but not so much if you want to stay in the east. The lobby is a good sign as to the quality of the hotel. Desk staff were very helpful. One morning we woke up and there was a foul smell... more

Before I comment on this hotel it's necessary to explain that I chose this through a last minute website because of its location and I was definitely not disappointed. The location of the hotel is a ten minute walk down the road from the Zoologischer garten station, zoo, shops etc and the bombed church. It's a beautiful area to be... more

Location is close to Zoo station, comfrortable for public transport, but also an area full of homeless people which is running down steadily. If you can get a cheap rate it is ok to stay there... more

We had a lovely stay in your city it is just beautiful and the hotel has a great location for sightseeing and walking to the wonderful shops. I work in a hotel myself and... more

We stayed at this hotel and liked it. For the price, you get good quality accommodation. It is a few U-bahn and S-bahn stops away from the main sights, and the location near the Zoo station is great for getting the S-bahn or train to Schonefeld airport. The room was clean and large. The bed was also comfortable - however,... more

The Berlin excelsior is a great hotel. It is very centrally located and easy to get to. We flew into Berlin Scheonfeld airport and got the tube to zoo gardens station which cost euro 2.90 single. From zoo station it is a 5 minute walk if that. Just come out of the station and walk under the bridge, its a... more
