Berlin Marriott Hotel

Our visit to Berlin was to join a 18 day coach tour through the Baltic Countries and into Russia and several other former Soviet states.

Two nights in the Berlin Marriott was a most pleasant way to commence our tour. A modern hotel offering deluxe rooms, good service, fast elevators and well located for both tourists and business people.

Potdamer Platz is a few hundred metres away, Tiergarten parklands are just behind the hotel, the Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag are within easy walking distance. Ubahn and S Bahn are within 5 minutes walk.

I too have stayed at the marriott, it is one of the most central hotels in Berlin. I found the location very safe, much safer than i felt in other parts of the city.
The beds are the most comfortable i have ever slept in, and the rooms were spacious and clean.
no tea and coffee facilities in the room although you can ask for them at the reception, but they usually only send one cup! so inform its for 2..
the hotel bar was very friendly, and drink prices reasonable.
will be returning to this hotel this year,

I stayed there for 12 nights with my fiancée
This is one of the best hotels I have stayed in the world because:
The location is the best you can possibly have...It's next to Potsdamer Platz, The Sony Center, The U and S Bahn, The Arkaden (Mall) and is the most central location you can stay in Berlin.
The rooms are large, heavenly beds, nice size bathrooms, have smoking and non smoking rooms, very clean. Superior rooms have a glass shower and a separate tub and the room was huge. Also this hotel has the only true king size beds I have seen since I have been in Europe, the rest are 2 single mattresses side by side. The rooms are very quiet, I never once heard a noise from a room next to me and I was there during New Years.
The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful, the nicest staff I have met in Europe
The cleaning ladies completely respect the "Do Not Disturb" sign and will never bother you if that is on the door. They just leave a nice note that says please call if you would like service.
The executive lounge has good food (snacks) but sometimes has little bite size steaks with a little open bar at night.
Their internet is much faster than other hotels

Unique Quality: Location is the most central location possible

Directions: U2 Potsdamer Platz on the U Bahn
S1, S2, or S25 on the S Bahn

My second buisness trip to the city had me staying at the hotel Marriott- Berlin. The Marriott's in Europe are more upsale then the ones you will find in the States. My stay here was enjoyable however I prefer the Hyatt, because of the hotel staff.

There is a bar called "The Exchange" in the Lobby and another eatery next to the bar. Be warned that if the buffet is not included with your room it costs 23 euros!

Unique Quality: Walking distance to Sony Center

Directions: Potsdamer Platz

I was very well impressed by this hotel which I found very neat in its modern decoration style. Knowing in advance that it is a category 4 hotel (the Marriott scale goes up to 7) I was expecting something simpler but it turned out to be very comfortable, centrally located and with great service.

The area is ideal for sightseeing as it is only 3 blocks from the Brandenburg gate on the border of where previously was the wall. However I must say that Potsdamer Platz is very modern but not a picturesque or cozy neighborhood at all.

Unique Quality: Beds are so comfortable.

A top-notch hotel, only opened in January 04 and very nice it is, too. I paid £38 per night using Priceline to get that rate, and it was well worth it.
Lovely room, nice bed and plenty of good pillows, lots of fluffy towels and bathrobe in the bathroom and a good selection of cable/satellite channels on TV.
Also enjoyed the sauna and pool, although it's not particularly big - hardly one for swimming laps in.
Staff very pleasant and not overly-robotic with their customer service.

Unique Quality: The interior design of the building is great - you can look up from the ground floor and see all the way out the glass ceiling on the 10th. Nice piano bar area and restaurants, too. Good location, only 5 minutes walk from Brandenburg Gate and 2 minutes from the fantastic Sony Center building.

Directions: Get the subway to Potsdamer Platz. Note that the TXL airport bus from Tegel does NOT seem to go this way coming *from* the airport, unlike what it tells you in Lonely Planet/Rough Guides.
