“Great palce and area to stay”
The hotel (like most in Mitte) is new. My room Had floor to ceiling windows overlooking Oranienburger Strasse within a few seconds of great transport links. Breakfast had a good selection - both cold and hot. restaurant serves Austrian food so not to everyone's taste but so many good places to eat within a short walk.
“Nice design, great location”
The Arcotel Velvet is well located in Mitte, a great neighborhood with lots of interesting shops run by local designers and art galleries. The hotel is modern in design and the service was excellent. The hotel is extremely clean (and I am very picky). We had a junior suite with a cool angled window/wall and tons of room including a small sitting area. It's well located to many of the attractions a visitor would want to see, but Berlin is a pretty sprawling city so public transportation is a necessity. The Arcotel Velvet is close to both the U-Bahn and S-Bahn.
“Gerne wieder!!!”
Alles ausgezeichnet! Tolles Frühstück im angegliederten Weinlokal!
“good price point”
hotel is located in a younger-aged, trendy, ethnic area. lots of dining options nearby but limited shopping. close to U-bahn. great value in expensive city.
“Great vibe & location”
The hotel is very well situated in former Easter Berlin for those wanting to make the most of the city's famous sites and for those wanting to be at the centre of the city's artistic community. The hotel is very modern and well-appointed. Floor to ceiling windows in the bedrooms makes for lots of natual light and a great sense of the thriving street below. The staff speak a high standard of English and are very helpful. Would definitely stay again if visiting Berlin.
“arcotel, berlin”
hotel in a great area, central berlin. stylish, but not pretentious. staff were great, not pushy, but very helpful when asked. was really comfortable and impressive. definitely recommned the hotel. even a the friend i went with who was sceptical about staying in a 'trendy' hotel, liked it. however, bar was very expensive eg outside hotel a beer was 3 euros while at the hotel it cost 6. great place next door for good coffee and bagels, out the door and left.
“Great hotel, perfect location”
Very centrally located hotel, and just the right level of cool. I especially recommend the junior suites to be above street noise, have a view, and enjoy the cool toys like electronic blinds on the floor to ceiling windows. They also include kitchenette facilities, which is nice for a longer stay.
“Wonderful hotel in a great location”
This was my first stay at an Arcotel and it was wonderful. The rooms are modern and artfully decorated, as well as being well maintained and spotlessly clean. We were happy to have free use of 2 desktop computers for Internet access in the Lounge area, and the included breakfast in the Lounge every morning was very good - juice, coffee, fruit, yogurt and pastries. The location was very convenient at the intersection of Friedrichstrasse and Oranienbergerstrasse, with the S-Bahn & U-Bahn within 1-2 blocks. We walked to many of the major sites, even in the January cold. There were also many good restaurants and bars/nightlife within a few blocks in either direction. We had wonderful dinners for 3 nights within 2 blocks of the hotel. Highly recommended!
“Even better than expected!”
This hotel was chic and a great place to stay for a family of four or more. The price for the Junior suite beat reserving two double rooms that cost more! Everything was impeccably clean, great neighborhood and easy access to the subway out the door! The free internet access was the biggest hit for our kids! and was nice for us too! We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Berlin! Thanks to the others for their recommendations. Oh...Breakfast is very pricey. Nice but very pricey. Check elsewhere. Or do it on your own in the suite with a refrig and sink and stove!
“Ein Wochenende im Arcotel Velvet Berlin”
Wir buchten das Arcotel Velvet in Berlin für ein typisches Sightseeing-Wochenende.Über die Freundlichkeit des Personals muss man bei einem Hotel in dieser Kategorie sicher kein Wort mehr verlieren. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Die Zimmer sind perfekt eingerichtet und lassen an Komfort keine Wünsche offen. Unbedingt empfehlen wir das angebotene Frühstück zu probieren! Das Hotel ist für eine Sightseeingtour ideal gelegen. Zwei S-Bahnstationen zu den Hackeschen Höfen und dem Fernsehturm immer in Blickweite. Die Oranienburger Strasse versprüht durch ihre Vielseitigkeit an Kunst und Kultur ein eigenes Flair was sicher Liebhabern dessen sehr entgegen kommt. Für uns stand nach der Abreise fest: Arcotel Velvet Berlin - wir kommen wieder!
