Berlin Trip !!

Tonight is my first night in Berlin, today was great !! I am staying at the Park Inn Berlin Alexanderplatz right in the heart of the city. I got to see the Berlin Wall...and just roam around the city. Took amazing pictures, and had a lot to eat =] The only thing about Berlin that I seemed to notice is that there is a Starbucks at almost every corner. Berlin is like a mini Chicago...a lot better of course, but still, just an observation. The Golden Victoria was also a pretty sight to see, she ...

Arrive Berlin

Bob had particpated in a conference in Berlin in 1975 when the city was divided. He wanted to see the changes reunification had brought and also to visit colleagues he met in 1975. He emailed our itinerary to his colleagues. In 1975 he stayed, as did all westerners, at the government controlled hotel known then as Stadt Berlin, today it is known as Park Inn. It is in Alexanderplatz. Upon our arrival we had planned on taking public transportation (Uban) to Alexanderplatz, however we were great...

Arrival in Berlin

Arrived in Berlin mid afternoon and was able to check into the hotel just fine. The flight went well and we transferred in London without any problems. Since there was still daylight left, we decided to check in quickly and freshen up so we could run right back out. The rest of the day went pretty smoothly except for when we tried to purchase a transportation card. Not only do the machines NOT accept the major American CCs, some of them also did not accept cash. It took nearly an hour for us ...

Still Exploring Berlin

Hey there...I am having a lot of problems with this computer so this will be a short blog. Will not have time to divulge all of the interesting details of this day. Can tell you that the city is totally walkable and easy. Basically one straight line from our hotel and can access all of the major sites. Still took the subway since we had the ticket. Hit the Brandenburg Gate and walked through to say we went to both east and west Berlin. Also saw the Reichtag, Charlottenburg Palace, Jewish War ...

Berlin

Hello our long lost loved ones, So we arrived here in Berlin Germany on the 17th. So far we really like it!!! Its a tourist-friendly city that is full of life and movement. Being Germany's capital, you could imagine how many people live here and how large the city is! But almost everyone we have tried to communicate with does speak English so that makes getting around A LOT easier. We are staying at a cool hotel called the Park Inn, which is a HUGE tower style hotel that has over 1000 rooms!!...

Bye Bye Berlin

Picking up where we left off...We went on the Tour Bus and got to see some amazing buildings, squares, and monuments that we would otherwise never have found. It was definitely worth our time and money. We took some pictures of the places we saw, and we also drove past the remaining portion of the Berlin Wall! After the tour we went back to the area called "Checkpoint Charlie" and bought small pieces of the Berlin wall. After we got back from the tour we took advantage of the Hotel's "fitness...

Day 2 - Now with pictures!

Howdy all, Well, it's the end of Day 2 and I still don't have any luggage. Alas, it's also a Sunday, so my options for replacement were fairly limited. Good thing there's this little soccer tournament going on so I could find a little bit of tourist clothing. Go Brasil! I started the day by wandering across the road to shop for a few necessities, then I signed on to a hop on/hop off tour of the City. How convenient that one of the stops was across the street from my hotel (The Park Inn Alexan...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Park Inn Berlin Alexanderplatz

Pleasantly surprised

from Steinera
We stayed at the Park Inn between the 20 and the 22 of September 2004. We had payed $99 per room per night and it was worth every dollar. We got the room at 10 in the morning although check in is much later. The room had been refurbished and included a shower and sink that was part of the room-very different and very stylish. The beds were big and very comfortable. There was a big desk and chairs and everything was harmonius and pleasant and very very clean. The view was absolutely superb from our room on the 18th floor.

It should be noted that the hotel has two kinds of rooms-we stayed in the business class.

Breakfast was nice although it was crowded (the hotel has almost a thousand rooms).

Location is superb: stores, restaurants and the train stations (with underground and trains) is right below. You can't get lost because the building is too high to miss.

We would go back any day.

Where have these people being staying?

from KGarry
I have stayed at the Park Inn before in 2000 and that's the reason I went back, it is a great location for going everywhere and the rooms were very nice. But on reading these reviews I wondered where on earth the other guests have been staying. We went in August 2004 for a weekend break and the room we had - on the 19th floor had just been refurbished, goodness me it was superb. The ensuite bathroom was something I would die for in my own house, a huge glass cubicle, flat screen tv, the beds were very comfortable, the whole decor was tastefully thought out. I would have no qualms about recommending this hotel again and again. I will definitely be back.

Amazing Views of East Meets West

from A TripAdvisor Member
We were expecting a standard Forte Posthouse typ hotel, and what we got was a view hard to beat and a great, if slighltly unusal room in a friendly and efficient hotel.

Facing out onto the TV Tower, we were so high up we could nearly see the Brandenberg Gate! But certainly Unter den Linden, and the Berliner Dom were in view.

Room was modern, clean, but please note that the en suite facilities should perhaps be called 'in roon' facilities! your washbasin is next to your bed, the shower is a screened off cubicle with frosted glass, and the toilet is only behind frosted glass door too! Not the best for privacy admittedly.

All in all, great hotel though for the price, and right on alexanderplatz so excellent for transport links.

Berlin is the most amazing city too!

Not what I was expecting!!!

from Sparkle1974
I've just come back from a 2 night break staying at the Park Inn Hotel in the Alexanderplatz in Berlin.

A huge hotel, however despite the hotel having 37?? floors and over 1000 rooms, it was far from the concrete tower block that I had anticipated. The hotel is being re-furbished and our room was very modern and contempory with mini bar, safe, writing desk etc. Whilst the room was not massive (and I don't think I have stayed in a big hotel room in any city I have visited...) it was more than adequate. Breakfast was great too!!

I would recommend the Park Inn and will definately consider it again when I next plan to visit Berlin.

What a dump!

from A TripAdvisor Member
My husband, son and I stayed here for one night when hotel rooms were tough to find because a convention was in town. It was the single, worst hotel we've ever stayed in. The rooms that have not been renovated were clean, leftovers from the Communist nation. They had incredibly low ceilings, crazy floorboards, no modern amenities. Even worse, a drunk started knocking on our door in the middle of the night.

A great reasonably priced hotel in Berlin

from awaintroob
We stayed at the Park Inn Alexanderplatz from July 2 through 8. It surpassed my expectaions for a reasonably-priced accomodation. The breakfast included with the price of the room was lavish and included scrambled eggs as well as cereal and meats of all types. The rooms were clean, modern and comfortable. The location was excellent--we loved the walk from the hotel down the Unter Den Linden to the Brandenburg Gate. It took about 25 minutes. The hotel is right next to a large department store with a magnificent food hall and it is very close to the stations for both the S-bahn and the U-bahn. Given that we were traveling with an 8 year old, it was handy to have a Burger King right in the hotel lobby. I think this is a great spot in Berlin for the budget-minded.

Almost a great hotel!

from Malkmus
Well, lets list the good things first-

The views from this high rise hotel are fantastic- we looked out on the TV tower, the Reichstag, cathedral, red town hall. Absolutely wonderful.

The room- decent size, very recently renovated, swish germanic furnishings, flat screen TVs etc

The location- the old eastern sector is so much more interesting than the west- and whilst Alexanderplatz may look a bit rough round the edges it had so much character! Alex also has one of the main stations (U,S & D bahn) and you get anywhere in the city very, very quickly.

The price- £60 a night for a 4 star room (including an all you can eat buffet breakfast)! You could easily have to pay twice that in london or New York.

The staff- vey, very friendly and helpful.

Now the bad-

On our final morning someone was able to get through our door and into our room- just as we were getting dressed! He didn't look like a hotel employee and anyway- we had left the "do not disturb" sign on the door. So, either-

A thief is walking around the hotel with a masterkey or...

The swipecard keys work on every door (if he was a guest simply walking into the wrong room)

Either way, this is a serious problem that needs to be sorted out immediately. Other than that, it was a great hotel.

Enjoy your stay in Berlin. It's a fantastic city.

Professional Service and Courtesy

from A TripAdvisor Member
I found the Park Inn to be functional and appealing. As I waited on other members of my travel party in the lobby area, the concierge approached me to see if he might be of assistance in any way, and the air was filled with Cuban music from the audio system. He was interested to assist in the purchace of symphony, ballet, or opera tickets, and also willing to give directions and advice about the transportation possibilities to any location.

I ate in the bar/restaurant on the main level one evening, which I don't normally do (I seldom eat at a hotel restaurant other than breakfast), and found the soup and service to be top-notch. The breakfast room was neat and spotless, with attractive place settings and individual pots of either tea or coffee arranged for guests almost immediately after seating.

The reception desk was always open any hour of the night or day, and several most pleasant service persons were behind the counter at all times. They were never rude or uninterested in my needs. Friendly even, at times. That is certainly refreshing. Late in the evening one can find snacks in the train station at AlexanderPlatz, and an inexpensive Internet cafe with long distance calling just beyond the train station and beneath the tower.

The U-Bahn is only steps away from the rear entrance to the hotel in the platz. During the day, various musicians wailed their tunes to the crowd and strummed their guitars for euros or trinkgeld. Several newspaper stands are in the platz or the train station. A large department store is immediately behind the hotel. Some interesting dog lovers gathered in the afternoons and casually chatted with each other. Although I didn't gamble at the onsite Casino, I managed to find some fun in Berlin. I felt that my week at the Park Inn was convenient, functional, comfortable, interesting, and welcoming.

A good hotel if room "luxury" is not your top criterion

from A TripAdvisor Member
My wife and I spent six nights at the Park (27th floor). The room we had was newly refurbished. It was small, and sparsely furnished, but quite functional. It was kept very neat and clean by the staff.The heating (we visited in March) was very comfortable, and the Park has the unusual feature of windows that open, allowing, via a space between frames, fresh air as you like. Don't know for sure, but it appeared that this might be the summer "air conditioning".The staff was extremely helpful and courteous, almost all speaking at least some English. The location is excellent with public transport a skip and a jump away. The Haekscheker Hof is withing walking distance, which provides a lot of dining and entertainment opportunities. Try "Thai Inside" (very close walk) if you like Thai food. Excellent!!

Two nights on the Alexanderplatz

from A TripAdvisor Member
My cousin, her 13 month old baby and I stayed at the Park Inn on the Alexanderplatz in Berlin March 20-22. Although our room was small it was more than adequate and smoke free. There was a multi-storied parking structure next door. Included in the room rate was the parking and a great buffet breakfast. If one wants fast food there is an entrance to Burger King from inside the hotel. We found the concierge very helpful telling us which U-bahn to catch for the places we needed to go to. He also sold us our U-bahn tickets. The U-bahn entrance is just across the Alexanderplatz from the hotel which is very convenient.
