The Arcotel is in a very nice neighborhood close to museums. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. Although the coffee was instant (which is strange when you are from BC) it was quite good!

Great position for where we needed to be . No housekeeping during our 4 day stay and our room wasnt ready until 4.30pm due to a large coach trip . Breakfast was manic due to this , there was however a good selection of food . Easy enough to get clean towels you just picked them up by asking at reception .

This hotel was excellent and met all our expectations. Berlin is huge so we chose this hotel because of its proximity to what interested us which was being close to the main cultural sights. We were a 10 minute walk to Museum Island and the Berlin State Opera. Both not to be missed, The restaurant in the hotel is a good spot for a meal or evening drink. Because it is an area of beautiful historic buildings there are little in the way of cafes and shopping but walk 10 minutes and there is the historic Nikolaiviertel area of Berlin full of great restaurants and a a river front beer garden. Great feature of hotel is the 147 bus which drops you in front of hotel from main train station and the Museum Subway stop is also nearby.

The hotel's location couldn't be better, close to Gendarmenmarkt, Museum Island, Potsdamer Platz, shopping, public transportation, and a wide variety of restaurants. Rooms are reasonably large and comfortable, though the mannered chairs take up way too much space and should be replaced. Desk staff could be more welcoming but the women on the restaurant staff are wonderfully friendly and there is a good, though pricey, breakfast buffet. The bar offers cocktails at a discount on weekdays. The laundry service is poor to the point of being unusable, charging double on weekends and for pickups even one minute after the stated 9 am guest delivery time. For longer stays a self-service laundromat is the only option.

Nothing special , but a very good hotel for a touristic Berlin trip - just a minute or two walk off the usual tourist tracks , therefore a hidden gem, nice and quiet.
