4-Star Hotels in Berlin

The hotel was beautifully decorated and in a great location. We stayed there for 3 nights over New Year's Eve. It must be even more beautiful in the summer. The staff are always available and address any issues promptly. It's also really cool that each elevator plays different music. I would recommend it to everyone.

A really clean hotel. The bed was very comfortable and good, with lovely pillows and duvet. The rooms were tidy and had a large mini-bar. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options and plenty of space. The hotel's location is excellent, close to restaurants and shopping. It's also a relatively short walk to the nearest metro station.

We recently stayed at The Circus Hotel in Berlin, taking two rooms for a short family trip. The experience was, in many respects, excellent. The location is ideal—central, with easy access to public transport and within walking distance of a huge variety of restaurants and shops. Service throughout was truly commendable. Staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful at every turn. The hotel bar is a genuine highlight—stylish, welcoming, and well-stocked. We especially appreciated the honesty bar and terrace upstairs, which made for a beautiful, relaxed afternoon during our stay. Breakfast was another strong point, offering a good variety of quality options in a comfortable setting. The rooms themselves are well-sized, clean, and nicely appointed. However, there’s a major issue that any traveller should be aware of: there is no real air conditioning. What’s provided is what I would describe as a comfort cooling system—more symbolic than functional. During our stay, temperatures hovered around 25 °C during the day and 18 °C at night, yet the rooms remained unpleasantly warm. Both rooms had fans, and the windows had to be opened to let in any real cool air. It’s quite clear that the hotel expects guests to rely on the fans, which is not acceptable given the climate realities of Berlin summers. This significantly affected our comfort and sleep. For travel between late May and early October, I would strongly caution against booking unless you’re completely indifferent to room temperature. It’s unfortunate, because in almost every other respect, The Circus Hotel is a real gem. I genuinely wanted to love it, and in cooler months, I very likely would. But the absence of proper climate control is a deal-breaker in warmer weather, and it’s clear the hotel is aware of the issue—hence the fans in every room. Pros: • Excellent location • Superb service • Great breakfast • Fantastic bar and terrace • Generous room size Cons: • No air conditioning—only a weak cooling system and fans • Rooms become uncomfortably warm even in moderate summer temperatures Conclusion: A brilliant hotel during cooler seasons. But for summer stays, particularly with children or light sleepers, the lack of proper climate control unfortunately outweighs the many positives.

We stayed for four nights at the Sana Hotel in an apartment. The accommodation was very nice: clean, bright, and comfortable. The only downside was the hotel's wellness area (swimming pool, sauna, and hammam), which was unfortunately very difficult to enjoy. It quickly turns into what feels like a water park because many families come with their children and do not respect the rules. The children run, shout, dive, and jump into the pool, and the parents often do the same. It is impossible to enjoy this area, which is supposed to be peaceful and relaxing. Whether you're in the pool or lying on a sun lounger, you end up getting splashed every time someone jumps into the water. The rules are clearly displayed at the entrance to the wellness area, but there are no hotel staff present to ensure they are respected. The same applies to the rule stating that children are not allowed after 8:00 p.m. Unfortunately, there were children in the wellness area until 11:00 p.m. every evening during our stay. This is a real shame, as the wellness area is of little use if you are looking for peace and relaxation. ****** Wir haben vier Nächte im Sana Hotel in einem Apartment verbracht. Die Unterkunft war sehr gut: sauber, hell und komfortabel. Der einzige negative Punkt war der Wellnessbereich (Schwimmbad, Sauna und Hamam), der leider kaum nutzbar war. Er verwandelt sich schnell in ein regelrechtes Freizeitbad, da viele Familien mit ihren Kindern kommen und sich nicht an die Regeln halten. Die Kinder rennen, schreien, springen und tauchen ständig ins Becken, und auch viele Eltern verhalten sich genauso. Es ist unmöglich, diesen Bereich zu genießen, obwohl er eigentlich der Ruhe und Entspannung dienen soll. Egal, ob man im Wasser ist oder auf einer Liege liegt – bei jedem Sprung ins Becken wird man nass. Die Regeln sind am Eingang des Wellnessbereichs deutlich ausgeschildert, doch es gibt kein Hotelpersonal, das auf deren Einhaltung achtet. Dasselbe gilt für die Regel, dass Kindern der Zutritt nach 20:00 Uhr nicht mehr erlaubt ist. Leider befanden sich während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts jeden Abend bis 23:00 Uhr noch Kinder im Wellnessbereich. Das ist wirklich schade, denn wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, kann den Wellnessbereich kaum genießen.

The room was nice and comfortable for business, but the location was further from Potsdamer Platz than I expected. Plus, there aren't enough streetlights around, so if you're coming from the station, you might have to walk through a pretty dark patch of woods.

Perfectly located — within easy walking distance to most major sights in Mitte like the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Philharmonic, and Checkpoint Charlie. For places a bit further out, there’s a train station right in front of the hotel, which makes getting around effortless. There’s even a dm grocery store just a minute’s walk away, which was super convenient. The room was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped, with a full set of amenities provided from the start — something surprisingly rare in Europe. Overall, a very comfortable and well-thought-out stay. Highly recommend!

The room was super clean. The hotel is centrally located. Walking distance from a shopping mall and the train station. We tried ordering room service but we didn’t have a way to do it and when we called reception they basically told us to just look in the room for the menu. We only had a breakfast one. Other than that, everything else was awesome.

Love the hotel. The room was so spaces and clean. Breakfast was very good. Very friendly staffs. Quite convenience for transportation for tram and train. I will recommend to my friends and relatives. Don't let the hotel construction disturb your stay. Once it finishes, it will be so beautiful.

**Location: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟** Absolutely STUNNING views! Perfect spot for your Insta stories! The surroundings are so breathtaking you'll forget everything else... which might be exactly what they're hoping for! 😉 **Cleanliness: 🌟** Room roulette! My first room came with a shower straight from a horror movie - just two settings: ”boiling hot” or ”STRAIGHT FROM HELL'S KITCHEN!” 🔥🔥🔥 Had to switch to Room 2 where I was greeted by a previous guest's cigarette butt (free souvenir?) and some tiny roommates having their own little party (pest infestation included at no extra charge!). #RoommateSurprise **Service: 🌟🌟** ”Complimentary late checkout” = being locked out for 30 minutes contemplating life choices in the hallway! 🚪 WhatsApp ”customer care” moves slower than my grandma's internet! Had to explain basic faucet operation like I was teaching rocket science, and when locked out, had to share ALL my personal info AGAIN. Privacy who?? #WaitingGameChampion

It is a nice hotel. The price for what you get is very good. Gym, pool and room all very good. Only thing that I did not like is that cleaning of room costs extra. They did not change any towels or empited our garbage bins during our stay (4 nights). If we wanted this, it would cost extra. Overall all good.
