Sehr zentral Nähe KaDeWe,
würde es aber nicht nochmal bevorzugen.
Defekte Beleuchtung, Duschtür so locker das sie rausgefallen ist. Die Fenster so dreckig. Zimmer direkt neben Fahrstuhl. Der Fahrstuhl war die ganze Nacht zu hören.
Convenient located if you want to enjoy gay Berlin. Close to a subway station. Easy access to anywhere. Rent a bike at hotel - the best way to enjoy this vibrant city.
Dejligt hotel med god beliggenhed. Fin morgenmad. Dejligt med en lille bar på hotellet. Eneste 2 minus var, at køleskabet på værelset var fjernet fordi det var gået i stykker, og var ikke blevet erstattet, og så er WIFI helt håbløs
Et par gode dage i Berlin. Et hotel der ligger helt perfekt. Tæt på Ubahn og Kudamm.

Kan beter.
Belabberde service gehad in dit hotel. Koelkast was vanaf dag 1 kapot en in de 8 dagen dat we er waren is die ook niet gemaakt of vervangen, ondanks herhaaldelijke meldingen aan de receptie. Airco werkte matig, het raam openzetten werkt beter. Douche had kuren, temperatuur ging van koud naar heet zonder dat we daar iets aan konden doen , behalve dan even een stap naar voren zetten wanneer het te heet werd.
Hotel heeft een app voor op de mobiel, waarbij je ook bepaalde dingen kan melden of reserveren. Ik heb dit 2 keer geprobeerd, waar bij ik de melding kreeg dat de concierge contact met me zou opnemen. U raadt het al, ik zit nog te wachten.... Overall indruk van het personeel bij de receptie was dat het ze allemaal weinig kon boeien. Een beetje betrokken personeel zou fijn zijn. Schoonmaak was eerste paar dagen ook belabberd, maar verbeterde aanzienlijk toen we andere schoonmaakster kregen. Al met al voldeed het hotel waarvoor we het nodig hadden (overnachten), maar hadden we van 4 sterren aanzienlijk meer verwacht. Voorlopig in ieder geval geen Best Western meer voor mij.
Var på ferie i 10 dager i Berlin.
Hotellet lå 2 min gange fra Kurfurstendam. Kort vei til mange severdigheter, buss 100 hadde holdeplass like ved. Denne passerer de fleste av byens turistmål.
T- bane også like ved.
Topp hotell med fin frokost buffer.
Også utplass, vi spiste frokost ute hver dag.
resepsjonen hjelper også med veibeskrivelser og de selger Berlin turist kort.
hadde et kjempefint opphold på Hotel President:)
Har bodd på dette hotell mange ganger tidligere.
Sentral beliggenhet. God frokost. Vennlig personale.
Ellers alt ok.

ok til prisen
Nogen trafikstøj fra gaden, men kun ved åbne vinduer.
Saunaen kan tændes ved at bede receptionen om det.
wifi fungerede dårligt, flere gange var det ikke muligt at logge på.
Very close to Zoo and Tiergarten. Metrostation Zoologischer Garten is easily reached from Berlin Tegel Airport with buses X9 or 109. Nearist metro station is Wittenbergplatz which is one stop from Zoologischer Garten. The charge for breakfast is 13.5 €. All rooms have free WIFI and minibar.
Hotel ist sehr zentral und verkehrsgünstig gelegen mit eigenem (sehr engen!!) Parkhaus; sehr freundliches und bemühtes Personal (Besetzung zu Stoßzeiten eher knapp bemessen, aber da sind wir alle selber schuld--es darf heutzutage ja alles am besten gar nichts kosten--); unnötig = der Duschbereich war gewöhnungsbedürftig (klapperige Duschtür schließt nicht, Duschkabine sehr verkalkt und verfärbt, dadurch leider nicht schön!!, Decken komplett mit Wasserflecken versehen, Deckenleuchte defekt etc.), Wände Wohnbereich mit Flecken, Kissen und BW sehr dünn etc. Frühstücksraum für die Kapazität m.E. eher knapp bemessen. Mein Tip: Ideal für Touristen oder Reisegruppen mit schmalem Geldbeutel, die zentral zum Ku´damm + unweit Potsdamer Platz wohnen möchten. Dafür ist´s dann aber gut geeignet! Wir waren schon oft da und kommen wohl auch wieder.

Dårlig Service
Et ok hotel som bærer preg av at det har blitt brukt i mange år. Servicen i resepsjonen var elendig. Kom ikke med noen form for info. Måtte spørre selv om Internett, hvor lenge frokosten var etc. Reiser mye, bor mye på hoteller, så jeg må innrømme at jeg ble skuffet.
Das Hotel ist gut zu Fuß von der UBahn "Wittenberg-Platz" gut zu erreichen. Ebenso hält der Bus in unmittelbarer Nähe. Das Zimmer war sehr ruhig, trotz der Zentrumslage.Etwas angestaubtes Ambiente, aber trotzdem gut ausgestattet. Einzigster Kritikpunkt ist die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption. Wirken leicht genervt.

Clean and comfortable but also dated and strange
Stayed here for 3 nights in May. Room was large and clean with a good shower. Location was also great with easy access to the u-Bahn. However the hotel does need to be updated to the 21st century! Nevertheless for the price, location and friendly staff I would happily stay there again.
Zimmerausstattung ist sehr abgewohnt z.B. Badabsaugung ging in der Zeit meines Aufendhaltes nicht einmal aus , Zimmer sind recht klein und Doppelbett ist für Leute um die 1,80 zuklein. Das Frühstück für 13,50 € ist sehr happig und 15,00 € Parkgebühr pro Tag ist unverschähmt.

Zweckmäßiges Hotel
Wir waren für 2 Tage im Hotel, haben kurzfristig gebucht, dank Internet kein Problem. Das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, entspricht aber weitgehend den Photos. Die Tiefgarage ist sehr klein und verwinkelt.

Good hotel - not so good service
We liked the hotel, it was clean and tidy. The room was bigger than we had expected! The downside with the hotel was that the service was not particarly good. No smiles even and no hello when we was passing the front desk.
My wife and I booked this hotel primarily due to it's location. Less than 1 mile to the Zoo, Shopping Malls, and quite a few other entertainment locations. The Hard Rock Café was around 1.5 miles away and easily within walking distance. There is also a train station very close.
The room was on the top floor facing the main road and Urania Science Center. It provided a beautiful city view and a nice view of the Sunrise to the East.
There was more than adequate room for my wife and I with a King bed, closet space, and a full work desk where we planned our daily adventures.
The staff was very polite throughout our stay and their parking garage had enough room for us to leave and return as we pleased without having to worry about not having a parking space.
We loved our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to others.
Hôtel situé à proximité d'un arrêt de métro, et proposant un parking (places limitées)
La chambre est calme, propre, mais petite (les meubles ne sont pas adaptés à la surface de la chambre). Un mini bar a été rajouté dans le placard, mais l'absence de ventilation rend le bar inutilisable et chauffe le rayonnage supérieur.
Petit déjeuner buffet américain en sus avec un choix varié. Le personnel est à l'écoute et réactif. L'hôtel est un bon point de départ pour visiter la capitale.
Pour notre deuxième séjour à Berlin, nous sommes descendu dans cet hôtel, pour les deux raisons principales suivantes, qui étaient indiquées dans la présentation lorsque nous avons cherché parmi tant d'autres :
- d'une part il était indiqué qu'il y avait un restaurant
- d'autre part, il était précisé un effort du personnel pour parler le Français.
Or, le restaurant indiqué n'était que pour le service du petit déjeuner, petit déjeuner à 13.50 € par personne sans réduction enfant ! Donc impossible d'y diner le soir, nous obligeant à sortir. Seul un snac était servi au Bar avec uniquement deux ou trois plats proposés, rien à voir avec un restaurant.
Concernant le deuxième point, le personnel ne parlait pas du tout le français, et visiblement, ne cherchait pas du tout à faire l'effort ni même a essayer de nous aider !
Bref, le rapport qualité/prix n'y est pas du tout...très déçu.
