Recommended Trip type: Family "Wonderful Hotel"

Reviewed by Terri of New Milford on Oct 14, 2009

This hotel came to us an extremely pleasant surprise. I booked the hotel for two reasons: cost and location and it completely exceeded our expectations. All the hotels we stayed at during our trip abroad cost about the same as the Melia and the Melia was by far better than the rest. Its a luxury hotel. I didn't know it at the time I booked it, but its luxury. I highly recommend it to everyone.

My boyfriend and I just returned from a stay at Melia Berlin. The hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was very nice. We arrived 4 hours early and they got us our room right away. The room was a great size and quality for the price we paid. The area around the hotel was great too. Within walking distance to great clothing shopping stores, a grocery store and right next to the river. There are some nice restaurants just across the river to try. We even rented bikes from the hotel for a reasonable cost. Would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Berlin.

I had booked 'the level' room but I ended up being upgraded to a junior suite, which was the start of an excellent few days in Berlin. The hotel and it's staff were fantastic, everything was lovely and the hotel just felt safe and full of qaulity. The only downside was the tapas resturant that is part of the hotel melia, the food was awful (Germans trying to be Spanish) other than that it truely was a beautiful, comfy and safe hotel in a fantastic location right in the heart of Berlin.

Reviewed by Jennifer of Saint Louis on Aug 4, 2009

The Melia Berlin was outstanding and gorgeous! It was very modern and well-kept. It was within walking distance of The Brandenburg Gate and only a short taxi ride to the main train station. A couple of the front desk associates were not too quick on the uptake, but the concierge spoke perfect English and was very helpful. The business center had the option to automatically set the language to English. The room was quiet even though a busy street with lots of shopping and eats was just outside. The Melia Berlin was fabulously ecologically friendly too! The room key must be placed in a slot by the front door to keep the lights on (the senior citizen traveling with me did not care for this though). I would definitely stay here again!

Reviewed by Mark of Fullerton on Jul 30, 2009

Excellent hotel right in Berlin's city center. Spanish restaurant and flair, modern rooms and friendly personnel. You'll need very deep pockets, though. Breakfast at the hotel will cost you EUR 22, so I recommend going next door to "Supergood" which offers first class breakfasts for around EUR 10. The only (but major for some) downside of this hotel is the outrageous fee for wireless internet service. They charge EUR 22 for 24hrs (around $30). The hotel should fix this as soon as possible.

Reviewed by K of Glasgow on Apr 18, 2009

The hotel is set in an excellent area, Friedrichstrasse is served by many forms of transport from the S-Bahn, which you can use to get from Berlin-Schonefeld Airport (S9). The train station, which is situated next to the hotel can also take you to Alexanderplatz which has a big shopping arcade, the zoo and lots of other places and is very easy to use. There is also the U-Bahn which is very close to the hotel, this can be used to get to various places like Checkpoint Charlie. There are also buses and trams. We tended to walk everywhere though, a nice 10 minute walk along the River Spree brings you to the Reichstag, then just around the corner from the Reichstag is Brandenburg Gate. There are lots of places to eat beside the River Spree, there is also a restaurant in the hotel which we didn't use. The hotel itself is very nice. The staff speak English, which is great as I do not know any, but the person I was with did. They're very helpful, asking whether you would like a room facing out onto the street or a quiet room round the back. They then give you the room keys, which are also used to activate the lift. Which is a very good security measure. We had the Comfort Room, this was all we really needed for our short stay. It has the necessities; big bed, chairs, desk, television, (expensive) minibar, cupboard and a bathroom. Overall, we had a good stay. It was set in an excellent location and it helped us get everything we needed out of the short break.

Reviewed by D of Leeds on Apr 9, 2009

This is brilliantly located, on the river, next to the tube and walking distance to major sites. Rooms are nice, quiet and spotlessly clean and the beds are large and very comfy. Even better if you have a river view. The service was courteous, friendly and helpful. I happened to mention it was my partners birthday present and a chilled bottle of Cava was waiting for us in the room on arrival! Our stay was faultless

Would highly recommend this hotel, it was in a great location and of high standard. The breakfast was fantastic with so much to choose from, there would be something for everyone. Lovely view of the river when eating your breakfast. Very comfortable bed with choices of pillows. The hotel was a stones throw from the railway station so easy access from the airport. Most things within walking distance from the hotel.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Melia. Location was very convenient near both S and U ban stops, 1 stop away from central station and within walking distance of many attractions. Breakfast was excellent and included in our room rate. Very spacious for a standard room with large bathroom, quiet even facing the street, good lighting and very clean. Front desk staff spoke fluent English and were very accommodating. Hotel has a gym, steam room and tanning bed for guest use. Internet was a bit pricey but available in the lobby. Great room and breakfast for the price paid which was significantly discounted from the hotels rates even in winter.

Reviewed by A of Salisbury on Dec 30, 2008

A very smart hotel in the centre of Berlin. A stone's throw from the famous Friedrichstrasse Banhof. The hotel offers very comfortable rooms and very relaxing public spaces. Two small complaints: although there's a mini-bar in the rooms there are no tea and coffee making facilities, secondly the WiFi network is both expensive and there's no free access that we found in the public areas. The staff however were exceptional: friendly, helpful, efficient and multi-lingual. As a base for exploring Berlin the hotel is well placed for the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag (the walk to the top of the dome is a must do especially at sunset but be prepared to wait in line), as well as the museum quarter and Alexanderplatz. Slightly further afield it a good walk to the Tiergarten and Potsdammer Platz. Overall a very comfortable hotel in a great central location which I would recommend for City-Breakers and short-stays for the various markets

Reviewed by K of Bedfordshire on Dec 24, 2008

A clean and modern hotel in a good location, in what was formerly East Berlin. It was ideal for our first visit to Berlin. We walked to all the major sites from here, although it may be a little far to the Zoo for some. There were high street type stores just round the corner as well as an underground station. We had a view of the river from our room and because we visited in December there were a couple of Christmas Markets also a short distance away. The Gluwein is highly recommended.

A Level 7 room at the Melia Berlin offers you tremendous value for money as it includes a full breakfast buffet as well as evening cocktails and Tapas. The location is fantastic, being a short stroll from both the Friedrich Str railway station and the main sights of former East Berlin.

Overall, the hotel itself was very nice. I agree with other posters that the hotel staff was very rude, but I think that's an issue with Berliners in general, not necessarily the hotel staff. The beds could've been more comfortable, but the rest of the hotel was nice. Very modern hotel, similar to a W.

Hotel is in a great location. The room was clean and everyone speaks English. I was however disappointed with the service somewhat. My friend was supposed to meet me at the hotel and I left a message at front desk which she never received and the wake up call that I requested was 20 minutes late which could have caused me to miss my flight.

This hotel is in a perfect location for persons wanting to visit museums and historic locations. It is adjacent to a u-bahn and s-bahn terminal and easy walking distance to Unter den Linden, The Reichstag, many restaurants and cafes, Museum Island and Alexanderplatz. The hotel bar, restaurant and cafe are lacking considering their high prices. It is better to find dining elsewhere.
