First I'd like to recommend if you are coming from Tegel (TXL) airport that you take Bus 128 to Kurt-Shumacher-Platz U-Bahn station, then south to Friedrichstrasse stop. We took the "TXL" bus coming in and it took a while in traffic as well as you had to hoof it from Unter den Linden. This was just a one night place... more

We are just back from a week in Berlin staying at the Jolly Vivaldi Hotel. I would rate this hotel as 4* because of the room faciliteis, efficient staff, all of whom spoke English and the excellent breakfast. The Concierge was extremely helpful and would recommend and book restaurants etc. The Bar prices were expensive but the staff were efficient... more

The hotel is ideally located for tourists, just beside the Freidrichstrasse station. It is only a few minutes' walk from the Reichstag and Brandenburg Gate, and the Pergamon museum. Staff were efficient and polite. The rooms were quiet (we requested a quiet room) and ours overlooked an interior courtyard. The rooms were spacious and had a minibar and tv (mainly... more

The Hotel itself is German contemporary, nice Lobby, excellent German breakfast is served in a spacious airy nice natural light rest. in hotel. Get the breakfast w/your room for sure.

I was very worried about our visit as there was a bus, tram and underground strike but the location was great. Out out of the station and one minute later we were in reception checking in. We arrived approx 10:00 am and our room was available. We overlooked the railway but we did not find this a problem and hardly... more

This was our first trip to Belin and we'd recommend this hotel. You are in a perfect spot for tourism, as it is in the Mitte portion of town and right off the S-bahn. We were able to access anything by foot from the hotel! Checking in our room was not ready, which seemed to be the norm for our... more

This is really a superb hotel and I would definitely return, if I could get the same bargain again. We stayed in a very comfortable room with kitchenette, although I booked a standard room, for a reduced price. The room was very clean and almost soundproof (4 layers of glass in the windows). We could hear the trains and traffic,... more

This hotel is a very well located hotel. It is just outside the Friedrichstrasse U/S-Bahn (one stop from the Berlin Main Station) making it really easy to go anywhere in Berlin. Its only a 10 min walk to the Brandenburg Gate/Reichstag and a 20 min walk to the Musuem Island. We walked to these attractions even in the heart of... more

Receptionist couldn't speak English. That's OK since this is Germany - for a two star hotel. Not a four star hotel in the centre of Berlin. And she also sent me to the wrong room by writing the wrong room number on the card. And (by asking one of the guests in the queue for checkin to translate) she told... more
