Westin Grand Hotel Berlin

Great hotel, near the main interesting places in Berlin! I booked through hotelclub.com, with a 60% discount (if not more) from the basic price, and I even got a room on the last floor. Good view; perfect, clean and big room, large bathroom.
Alexanderplatz is recheable within a few walking minutes.
I really recommend this hotel, I would (and will, as Berlin is a wonderful city) come back!

Very comfortable, very quiet ( very thick windows), extremely comfy bed, spacious, very nice bathroom with heated tile floors and granite vanity... bathrobe and slippers... I would recommend this hotel but urge anyone staying to carefully study your bill. They tried to overcharge me at least 3 times on various things. First the nightly rate was wrong, then i had drinks in lobby with a friend of mine so they transferred my check to the second check but submitted both checks and gave me a hard time at the desk even though it was their fault. Then tried to charge me twice for wine out of the mini bar and finally tried to overcharge me 15 euro on my last night, they kept putting in the wrong evening rate and the rate difference between the wrong and right rate was 15 euro.. so i was at the desk more than i would have liked...

Unique Quality: Heated marble floor... very comfortable bed

Directions: uhbahn freidhofstrasse... then walk , cross under de linden and next block at the end of block of some stores is the hotel

The hotel is very nice, and the service is top notch. The Westin hotel chain is pretty expensive everywhere, but I felt I got a great price at 179 Euros/night. I know that's not cheap, but I will have to say it was worth the price. The location is really ideal in visiting Berlin. There is a subway stop next to the hotel. However, the Hotel itself is just a block from Unter den Linden, and just a nice stroll to Brandenberg Gate. This is in my opinion the nicest part of Berlin. If you have the means, and you are choosing between the best hotels, I would recommend the Westin Berlin.

Unique Quality: The Hotel has a nice historical feel. Its not completely modernized out and the architecture seems unique to Berlin. I know there is a swimming pool, but I never checked it out.

Before we left on our trip, I spent a long time trying to decide where to stay in Berlin. Once we arrived at our hotel, I was extremely happy with my choice. We booked (and paid) for our hotel about 6 weeks before we departed (we booked on Expedia.ca). We paid $160 CND per night for the room, incl a buffet breakfast each morning (breakfast had champagne available as well...got used to having a glass of bubbly each morning before we went off sightseeing!).

On the day arrived, we checked in with no problem and made our way to our room. I had requested a view of Unter Den Linden, so there was a bit of a walk to get to that side of the hotel - but the view was sooo worth it (you could see the Brandenburg Gate from our bay window), as was the plate of chocolates and strawberries that were waiting for us....

Would definitely stay here again.

Unique Quality: The lobby is beautiful, and comes complete with a piano player in the evenings. We enjoyed many a glass of wine, relaxing and the music after touring Berlin during the day. I'm not one to normally search out the 4-5 star hotels, but I was happy that we chose to stay here.

Directions: Great location to the Metro...about 25 steps to the Franzosische Strasse Station

What impressed me most at the Westin Grand Berlin was the consistently professional, engaging and helpful service I received from every single member of the staff who I encountered during my stay. From the front desk check-in clerks to the concierge to the cleaning staff: every encounter was pleasant and made me feel welcome. (Sometime hotels seem to forget that they should aspire to make their guests feel at home.)

The Westin Grand is in the center of one of the most interesting and important neighborhoods of Berlin. It is just off Unter den Linden, its entrance facing another of Berlin's most famous boulevards, Friedrichstrasse. The Gendarmenmarkt, the Brandenburg Gate, and the Museum Island are all just a few minutes' walk away.

The hotel was designed and built in the last days of the DDR. I was told that the grand staircase in the lobby is a copy of one which featured in the original Adlon Hotel nearby. Admittedly, the interior design of the Westin is not everyone's idea of good taste. It could even be called vulgar. (IMHO, maybe a little too Alexis Carrington?)

Oh but I had fun. Every day I would take the elevator from the fourth floor - where my room was - down to the first, just so that I could make an impressive descent down into the lobby below.

Yes, this is quite an expensive hotel. But when I stayed there in November 2004 I had an incredible rate (which I found through priceline.) $61 a night - which is less than many a midwestern motel.

Yes, I would definitely recommend this hotel. It is located in the middle "mitte" of Berlin and right across from the underground U-Bahn station Franzözischestr. It is located on the major street Friedrichstrasse and only one block from the other famous street "Unter den Linden". It is a 5 minute walk from Brandenberg Gate.

Unique Quality: They have a fantastic pool and spa. If I had more time there, I definitely would have relaxed there. They even have a little bar at the pool.

This hotel is usually sold out during the summer, so make sure to reserve in advance.

Directions: Take the S-bahn to Friedrichstrasse station, change to the U6 line U-bahn. Get off at station Franzözischestrasse. Exit on the "Unter der Linden" side. When you come up the stairs from the subway station the Westin Grand will be staring right at you.

First of all I don't normally stay in 5 star hotels which means that I stayed here for cheap. Very cheap infact. I booked the room using priceline and was successful at 40 pounds. I think the normal rate is around 100 pounds so we saved a great deal. Breakfast however is a hefty 23 euros per person so we just went round the corner to somewhere cheaper.

Unique Quality: You get everything you'd expect from a Westin including their excellent beds. There is a piano bar and a number of restaurants all unfortunatley out of our price range. The location however is excellent, within walking distance of all the major attractions.

Directions: Right on Under den Linden Strasse
