This hotel has had a revamp and is now called the Art Hotel, Park Plaza. There is another Park Plaza nearby…..we ended up there first! So don’t get confused!! Once you find this hotel….we arrived on the day of a national strike… it’s fab. Ignore the journey planner…. This hotel is a less than 10 min walk from the western end of the U1 line. The room we had was on 5th floor on a quite busy street, but it was so quiet we didn’t realise it until we looked out of the window the following morning. The bed and pillows were so comfortable, a great night sleep was had by us both. Shower was a big rainfall type with a smaller head shower head option if you wanted. Complimentary Elemis shower gel, hand wash, as well as body lotion. Breakfast was worth every penny as part of your B&B option. Otherwise it’s €18 for a full option or €5 for coffee and a croissant in the bar. Breakfast was fresh, pastries, cheese, meats, toast, mushrooms, sausage, bacon, pancakes, cereals, yoghurts; you could make your own fresh juice from fresh veggies & fruits. Coffee was excellent (I was told)…. I took my own teabags as I am very fussy, and made great tea. There is a spectacular hot water urn……that is very ornate and was awesome. Staff were multilingual and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very insightful about the local area, and the available public transport options. I would highly recommend this hotel which has pop art throughout. We are planning to head back to visit Berlin again and we will most certainly stay here again.
The hotel is a convention hotel and the convention centers are huge and great for events. There are lots of restaurants to choose from, but the hours are incorrect and the employees at the desk do not know the hours of the restaurants…so good luck! We stayed in wing 2 and there are 3 elevators, q of which is not on. Unfortunately the elevators may take 15 minutes to pick you up. If they aren’t overly full. The rooms are what would be 3-stars in the US. They are very small, but mostly clean. The amenities are average at best, but not good compared to comparable hotels in Europe. Honestly, I’d not choose to stay here again. The people are friendly, but the hotel is lacking in quality and customer service.
