I’m writing this review retrospectively for a stay here in October 2008. Firstly I struggle to understand the position on tripadvisor, I’d argue this should be one of the top hotels in Berlin. Aesthetically the building is a contrast of old and new, traditional frontage yet striking inside. Pure minimalist features, glass elevator shafts and trendy décor throughout. The room... more

The previous positive reviews are accurate. This is an innovative and comfortable hotel in a terrific location. My 5th floor room was small, but with a spectacular view of the square and twin cathedrals and a terrace/balcony from which to enjoy it. Nearly every featrure, from the movable bathroom wall to the wondeful breakfast pastries, is of high standard. This... more

Just back from a long weekend in Berlin staying at the Sofitel. Location is perfect. Right on a beautiful square which was central and had lots of really nice restaurants and bars and cafes but still seemed really peaceful and quiet. Underground station in the square so perfect for travelling round although most places were a lot closer than they... more

When I arrived in Berlin just after New Years in 2008, I needed a place to crash for a night before I moved into my apartment in town. I decided I would spoil myself so I booked a room at the Sofitel. It is really a beautiful, elegant place. It felt small for a Sofitel - almost boutique. My room... more

This hotel has a very friendly staff, nice rooms, and nice amenities. I stayed there 4 daye 3 nights and was very impressed. The one thing I was really impressed with was the friendliness of the staff and their ability to make our stay as comfortable as possible. more

Absolutely fantastic and charming hotel. Location is superior, very quiet area in the very center of Berlin, facilities, sauna area, in-door restaurant with beef consome served in a glass bottle, electric lolobye near beds, view to the dome of the French church (we were on the top floor in the corner room with magnificent view, i think the best in... more

We stayed here on our trip to Berlin this month and can't imagine staying anywhere else when we return. It's a beautiful convenient location, and the staff is very helpful. For example, our mini-fridge/mini-bar did not work during our entire 4 days there, but the staff was so nice and worked so hard to try to get it fixed, that... more

I am a big fan of the Sofitel chain of hotels, this being the 4th Sofitel I have stayed at. The location was wonderful right across from the Gendarmenmarkt square with (free) daily live performances by violinists. Close to any and all cultural sites and shopping options. The room itself with a fabulous view was smaller than any of the... more

Unorganized staff - could not even check out without them running after me out the door saying they forgot to charge me an additional 15 euros for parking when I gave them 6 hours notice that I was checking out. TERRIBLE - Do NOT stay here!! more
