Hotels near Aesop in Berlin

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.

This is the second hotel I stayed while visiting Berlin. Having spent most of my life managing hospitality properties I feel as though the Leonardo deserves a shout out. If I’m not mistaken this hotel used to be called Hotel California and was built as a 4-star property. The rooms are comfortable and quiet. Refrigerator but no microwave and some features in the bathroom that are not everywhere. I had opted for the inclusive breakfast and it was a good decision. The spread was vast and if you went away hungry you had no one to blame but yourself. One more service - surprising to me especially given the change in US hotels post-pandemic is daily housekeeping service. Well done Leonardo - I’ll be returning to Berlin in the next several weeks and if you can accommodate me - expect to see me.

First impressions were good as our room was ready a good two hours before the advertised 3pm check-in. This was a life-saver as my wife and I were running on empty after a great tour of Germany. The hotel is obviously themed around Hollywood stars: each guest room has a pictured star outside it. Our room was much larger than we expected (having stayed in some much smaller hotels at similar or more expensive price in Germany). It had a fabulous walk-in wet room which doesn't sound like a clincher, but we really appreciated after a day pounding the Berlin streets. The hotel itself is less than a ten minute walk from the Savigny Platz S-Bahn on line S9. The receptionist I spoke to was really helpful pointing out the sites we were interested in on a map. Finally, the breakfast, set in a huge room, had plenty of choice. We'd definitely stay here again when in Berlin.

The staff was friendly. I had a problem with the cleanness of the room. The staff manage another upgraded room with a late check inn option. like to stay again.

Was much better when it was a Sofitel Hotel a few years ago. Now quite a basicly run hotel. I believe better ones can be found in Berlin for the same price points.

The hotel is modern, large, clean and tidy, with complete facilities and a very convenient location. It is a shopping street just outside the door, the subway is just downstairs, and the railway station is across the street. There are all kinds of food, drink and fun around, and I am very satisfied.

Great customer service with individual standouts. The gentleman who at least tried to fix our faulty A/C; the Genovese guy who bothered to make me coffee at 4AM for my USA based Zoom meeting; generally friendly staff. Studio apartment concept very positive. Money would have been over-priced, however, if not for my having paid with some rewards points. Priced way too high otherwise for the decor and general condition of the place. It isn't the Ritz Carlton, or even Marriott, the latter of which was actually cheaper. Most egregiously: The A/C's did not function properly, and sometimes didnt function AT ALL. And it was 30 degrees out, for the two days we were there. Murderously hot in the rooms we rented, with no let up. This is tell-tale sign of hotels owned by indifferent and complacent organizations that think people shouldnt or won't complain about bad A/C's, and thus will never have the integrity or professionalism to repair or replace same. It is a cheap BS attitude, and, at least in our case, has eliminated the possibility of appx 35 people in our sphere ever going to this place again, great customer service notwithstanding. I received a response apologizing for this, and committing to ”share the criticism”, whatever that meant. To be clear: That does absolutely NOTHING for me, and doesn't answer the fundamental question: when are these A/C's being replaced? The answer to that question dictates when, if ever, this hotel will ever get the many thousands of euros I, and my family and friends, would otherwise be spending there.

I arrived in Berlin two days before a conference and I'd booked into this hotel because it was great value. I found out that it's very well located. The bus from the airport stops right outside and it's about 20 metres from a station. It's also in a particularly nice part of town. The hotel is an old European hotel. You'll spend time walking up the steps. The rooms are really comfortable, spotlessly clean and well-appointed. They are small but that's most hotels in Europe. The staff are really helpful and friendly. Because my conference was canceled I stayed a few extra days. The breakfast is amazing. I could not have been happier with the choice of hotel. I bought entirely on price and got much more than I expected.

Gay billed hotels should try more not to make guests feel that they accept second best! Rooms billed as something different were in fact impractical and dark. The only clothes rail was too high for me at 5’7” to comfortably reach, and positioned over one of the useable surfaces meant clothes were pulled down in an awkward way. This resulted in a wine glass being broken. I reported immediately. It seems I was charged €5! No notification just taken from my account. How churlish! Open bathroom lacking privacy, with the only hooks in the toilet! No rails for wet towels!? NO tea or coffee facilities whatsoever except for breakfast. Never experienced that before anywhere in the world in all styles of hotel!! I reported what appeared a security breach with a person appearing under the influence of substances knocking on random doors one evening, ours twice in succession. Not only no report back despite asking, not even passed on to successive shift reception staff, who knew nothing about my earlier report! Overall staff were pleasant but reserved and not exceptionally friendly. Often either away from the desk, sometimes waiting 5-10 minutes after ringing bell, or eating at the desk, very unprofessional. Breakfast staff no smiles or friendliness, no welcome. Overall a disappointing stay, which I would not repeat or recommend unfortunately.

I went to this hotel for a mid-week vacation with my lovely daughter. With an UBER it was about 10 Euro to get to the hotel. Check-in was smooth, the older man behind the desk wasnt overly friendly but rather efficient and that was fine. We paid the tourist-tax and got one room-key for our room. We paid online about 80 Euro a night and we got a room with three beds at the back. The room was clean and simple. A desk with a big-screen TV, a shower-room with a toilet and a wash-basin. The shower was ok but we didnt like the shower-curtains. Also the water would be warm for about five minutes but it didnt bother us. Everyday cleaning with new linen and towels. In the morning you can have breakfast but you have to pay for it. We didnt use it. The hotel is set conveniently in the middle of Berlin near Kurfurstenstrasse and Dam. Near the U-Bahn and busses.
