Akademie Hotel Berlin

I booked this hotel for a colleague who stayed for 2 nights, she reported that I picked a great little hotel (very friendly, VERY clean and very quiet).

The hotel is not close to restaurants or other businesses. You need to drive or take a bus which runs right in front of the hotel. The room was fine--bed, bath, TV, wi-fi. The soap dispenser was difficult to squeeze to get anything out. Room was not air-conditioned.

For my purpose of visit, the location of the hotel was convenient in terms of proximity. But for all else the location was very poor. There are no fast food less than 6 kilometres away, the nearest Dominos is nearly 4 kilometres away and they refused to deliver. There are no taxi ranks around the corner but there is uber. The guy at the desk wasn't helpful and trying to get takeaway. There are only one or two restaurants i am told is in the area but not much options. The Hotel reception is closed at night until 7am. What you save in rate you loose in travel costs and conveniences.

We stayed here for one night prior to leaving Berlin. The hotel was immaculate and was in a quiet area. Parking was available but limited. Wifi was limited. Great hotel with a great price.

The staff were amazing they always went out of their way to help you. They greeted you every time you would pass by the front desk or just around the hotel. The room was perfect for me as a single traveler here on business. The rooms well maintained everyday. The hotel location is excellent because it is near a nature park for nice walks, jogging or bike rides in the morning or early evenings. Your in walking distances to cafes,stores, bus stops and the train.
