Intercontinental Berlin

Excellent hotel, friendly staff and a great location. Very quiet and very spacious rooms. Very close to the U-bahn.

Modern, spacious, well-managed. Excellent service.

The Sofitel is completely average: modern cookie-cutter design and small basic room. The staff (reluctantly) does the bare minimum for its guests. I went across to the Intercontinental and was given more assistant there, as a non-guest, than at my own hotel.

Well situated with regards to public transport, restaurants and some attractions. Rooms a little on the small size but very attractive. Lobby area expansive with beautiful floral arrangements and decorations.

My wife and I stayed here August 15th-17th, 2006, the week after the foiled London terrorists who were to bomb US-bound flights using liquid explosives. In air transit we had lost our luggage due to all the confusion at Heathrow, and the staff at the Intercontinental Berlin, especially Yvonne at the Hotel Registration Desk, went way out of their way to help contact the airline and get our bags delivered to our room. We were in Germany to attend a wedding, and we would have been in great trouble without our bags w/ our wedding clothes. They even allowed us to use their business center for free. Tom, one of the concierges, was also very helpful in assisting us in exploring the big multicultural city of Berlin with all its historical significance. We'd stay here again if we went to Berlin again. read more

Located in an interesting area of Berlin, very convenient to public transportation. Hotel is clean, upscale, a pleasant place to stay.

From the intercontinental, you have to walk a bit to get to the sites, showing, and subway (a good 10 minute walk). But if you can handle that, it is a great hotel.
