Hotels near Ballhaus Berlin in Berlin

The interior is quite nice and definitely 4 star worth. I booked a non-refundable single room for two nights, which was nice and clean. Everything needed was there. I do have to admit two flaws: 1. The friendly lady at the front desk got the wrong information from the system so I has to pay a second time on site (prepaid at trip.com). Thankfully the night manager figured it out and refunded me the money before it have been booked. 2. I have chosen the Hotel ONLY because of the large pool to swim in the morning. Unfortunately the friendly lady (first contact) told me the pool is closed on the day of arrival, but I could use the spa instead for free today. It should open on next day, so I could do my morning swim. The next morning in the spa they told me, pool won't open today still due to maintenance reason. Both topics took me nearly one hour which is a no go for wasting customers time...

The hostel is located right next to the U-bahn station and not far from Alexanderplatz, the location itself is very convenient, in a vibrant area with a lot of places to eat. The staff were nice, and there were a lot of activities where I managed to meet some cool people from all over the world. The toilets and bathrooms were fairly clean and well-maintained. On the downside, the room for 6 people was quite small and it was really hot in there when all 6 or even 5 were present. But if you opened the window, it just became super loud and even less possible to sleep — the room had its windows right above a rather busy street, and even at night there was constant car noise, honking, trams passing and so on. You could hear it VERY loudly from the 2nd floor. So despite having a comfy bed, I can’t say I have had a good sleep any of the nights I stayed there. When you check in they also give you a voucher for a free beer in their own basement brewery. That was cool, but the sample glass is SO small, like 100ml? I expected it to be a full size drink to be honest:) Still, the brewery is really nice.

We were with a group of travelers at the Bernauer Street memorial. We had thirst. But only a bistro on the corner (no alcohol). We went on the public stairway. The hotel border fall, not to see from a beer garden. Asked. There is a very beautiful natural beer garden behind it. It was not ”as open as much” since the daytime. We were still asked. Our service: Mrs Gerhardt!!!! Very friendly and premature. We have drinked good wine to about 8 people, partly beer. Prices were absolutely in Order. If I do my bike tour around Berlin, I will surely night in this hotel!.

The bright lights were the two very friendly guys, one slim German (?) at the reception, another bearded German (?) in the bar/restaurant area. The rest (mostly Spanish teenagers it seems) were obnoxious, pulling the plates from under your nose while you are still eating, walking around with a sour face like they own the place (and you should get out of their way). The arrogance we encountered upon our arrival and throughout our stay from the young ladies at the reception was revolting; putting this kind of people at the desk is a fail. Especially because I had to get at least ten times to the reception to activate the cards of our three rooms. They said it was because of proximity to our cell phones, but at least three times our phones were in the (locked) room …. Also one safe was blocked (battery dead, happens, but again making us face those ladies’ utter arrogance). We had three rooms. The cleaning people entered each room while we were still in bed (around 9am each time), in spite of the marker … they tried on other mornings but the door was closed, still quite unnerving to hear someone attempting to get in. Also some older women came to check out the service, just walking in asking if everything is ok… fawlty towers if you are old enough. Our rooms didn’t get cleaned every day, which you simply expect in a 4*, forcing us at some point to go and face the ladies at the reception to beg for towels, because they don’t pick up the phone. We got a commercial geste but rather had had a smooth stay without having to get things fixed or face unfriendliness all the time. I stayed in Melia hotels and this does not live up the chain’s standard. As you will see from my other reviews, I am a positive and constructive traveler. Positive points: location close to the metro; the gin and tonic; the breakfast buffet was very fine, managed by the friendly bearded guy; the slim guy at the reception desk helping us out. They lifted the place up (where the others seriously pulled it down, unfortunately).

I was able to stay there without any problems with air conditioning or showers. There are quite a lot of guests staying at the hotel, and the entrances and exits can get crowded (on nights when everyone is drinking). The staff were cheerful and responded immediately when I told them I had a problem with the lock. Kind. If you rent towels etc., it will be a little expensive.

The hostel is very dirty. All the surfaces are sticky. There is a terrible stench in the rooms, toilets, corridors and lobby. Things forgotten by the previous tenants are lying around until they are thrown away by the current tenants. Mattresses are stained with brown stains, possibly menstrual blood (I was in the women's room). The pillows are crumpled and terribly uncomfortable. The beds stand so you can't fully open the window to air it out. The lobby is very noisy and smelly too, apparently there is no ventilation or it is blocked. Absolutely not recommended, even for 25€ a night! It's too much for this place.

Great location right opposite the Berlin Central Station (HBF). The staff were super helpful throughout my four day stay, and my room was lovely, although I am slightly jealous that I didn't get one of the rooms at the front looking out over the beautiful HBF. Hopefully, next time :-) The room was kept spotlessly clean, and the whole hotel was nicely designed, fresh and clean. Sadly, I leave tomorrow morning, after four lovely days in this amazing city, and thanks to this hotel, and the team who work here, and a super base to come back to each evening. If ever I am in Berlin again, I know where I will be staying.

We reserved the smallest room (comfort) and immediately realized that we would need to upgrade to the superior room. I am traveling with my aunt and we need 2 beds. The comfort room was so small that the 2 beds were together with little space to move on the sides. It was not suitable for us. The pictures do show all the twin beds together, but naturally we assumed that they could be separated. When we asked about changing rooms, the delightful woman at the front desk (Victoria) graciously offered to show us the options available for the bigger rooms. We viewed the executive and superior rooms and were happy to pay the 15 Euro more for the superior room. Well worth the extra money given the difference in size. Now that we were settled with our room, we were off to explore Berlin. The location of this hotel is ideal. I learned that Mitte means center and surely this hotel is centrally located. Easy to find and easy to get to/ from. A special thank you to Victoria and her colleague at the front desk. We were very pleased with our experience at the Leonardo Berlin Mitte and would recommend to others.

The overall consideration is quite good. There is a bus in front of the door. There is a central workshop in the 10 minute walk. There are subways in various places. There are 2 convenience stores around the hotel, basic steaks, vegetables and fruits can be bought, so you can cook your own. If you stay for a few days, it is recommended to buy a transportation card, the hotel is available for sale, there are different days of choice. In fact, it is not far from the surrounding attractions, but there are transportation cards to choose different transportation. It is recommended that the hotel improve the quality of the pan and feel unheated, basically cooked in a microwave oven. I will choose this hotel next time.

Visited the hotel with a group of 26 lads, whilst we weren't the easiest to deal with the hotel staff put up with us and helped us out where they could! Special mention to the lady on the bar, she didn't speak great English but she was brilliant, her colleague on the bar wasn't the happiest of chaps but I think we won him around a little bit! Another mention goes to Francesco at reception! What a man! He couldn't help us anymore and I hope his Fantasy Football Team does well! Rooms were clean, showers great, no complaints! Good location too! Would definitely stay again! Top stuff, thank you!
