Scandic Berlin Potsdamer Platz, Berlin

this is a disgrace to the hotel industry : 1. no air conditioning - after fooling me about programming the air conditionining system, and setting the temperature, the revealed to me in the morning after a night without sleep soaked in sweat, they told me that they actually do not have air conditioning, and offered me a tiny noisy fan - at a four star hotel. 2. arrived by midnight, no room service, no food in the bar, but plenty of warm beer !!!!- 4 star hotel. 3. minibar in the room - but no snacks and no drinks - 4 star hotel 4. no business center, impossible to check in to flight, because Lufthansa did not allow mobile check in- they did not agree to give me this service- 4 star hotel. 5. arrogant and non polite front desk 6. dirty and worn carpets in all hallways.- 4 star hotel. 7. Scandinavian dirty tricks : if you pre order your breakfast at front desk they charge EURO 14.- , if you are a sucker and go directly to the restaurant for breakfast they charge you EURO 17.- FINALLY: EVEN IF THIS IS THE ONLY HOTEL IN BERLIN, DO NOT ENTER TO THIS DISGUSTING ENTABLISHMENT. if I would not have prepaid for this hotel for 4 nights of nightmares , i would leave on spot !!!!

Beautiful place.

This hotel is great. It’s clean, modern and in very good condition. The bed is comfortable and duvet helps to maintain a restful sleep. The hotel is located within walking distance of a shopping mall and trains. The mall has several very good places to eat if you don’t want to eat at the hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful, even printing out a document I needed to pick up tour tickets. Tour tickets are also available in he lobby.

We stayed for a night before heading back home to our city in Germany. The location is good. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. Breakfast was probably one of the best we had in hotels in Germany, varied choices and delicious. We actually wanted to extend our stay but it was fully booked the next day, unfortunately. Our request for a late check-out, 13:00 instead of 12:00, was declined by the reception. Check out was quick. Cons: It's supposed to be a 4-star hotel but the reception doesn't look like one, at least from the decors. There were no slippers and bath robes provided in the room. Overall, I will stay again here in future.

There is no AC in the rooms so if you are there in the summer, be aware that it can be very hot. The room is small and the bathroom is very compact. The public area is clean and nicely manintained. Breakfast was good. Very close to shopping and restaurants.
