Werder Vacations from $603

Overall, the hotel was very clean. The room was small but fine for one person. It’s a quirky place in terms of decor which I liked. I thought the buffet was OK but the selection was average. The fellow who checked me in on Saturday afternoon was very charming, helpful, and informative.

This is a little gem of a hotel for the short stay traveller. Outstandingly clean and tucked away down a small cobbled side street means you're not disturbed but yet it's only within 2 or 3 minutes to an array of eateries and bars. Within 10 minutes walk there's lots more as well. Centrally placed. The staff are very helpful and I would recommend it as a good place to base yourself for a short stay in Berlin ....and only 2 minutes walk to the metro station.

I am 92 years old at the staff at the hotel, the most accommodating and helpful of any hotel I’ve ever been a guest, and I’ve been in hundreds of hotels in my long life.

Pros •Lovely location! Very convenient and very classy though there are no restaurants nearby. This is not a problem though as you can walk a or take a tram to Alexander Platz easily. •The rooms, especially the bathrooms, are small but VERY ergonomic. The only problem there is the water temperature fluctuates. •The desk is ~5 feet x 20" which is excellent especially for such a small room! •The view is superb. Especially from the breakfast restaurant which is really nice and bright too! •The staff are 99% very helpful and courteous. ONE individual was unpleasant which was not fair on everyone else. •The rooms are clean. Cons •Breakfast is not up to 3* standards. •The Bed is hard and the "Duvet" (if you even call it that) is thin. •There is only one working elevator. •There is no phone in the room. So no wake up call is possible. 3 star should have a phone. •There is no minibar / fridge, in the room so is it really 3 star? Or does it barely meet the requirements? •There is no cafe. •Soft drinks downstairs are expensive so buy that elsewhere. •I was there 5 nights and my sheets were not changed even once. I bathe twice a day so not a big deal but that is not the point. •There is no comfortable lounge chair. Just the plastic desk chair. •Lighting and lighting systems are not up to the mark. •The key card is not necessary for the elevator. Bottom line, it is a budget hotel claiming 3 stars and definitely falls short of that rating. The location however is really excellent.
