Hotel Palace Review

This is the only privately owned first-class hotel in the heart of western downtown, and its First Floor restaurant with a view over the zoo's greenery has made the hotel a favorite of gourmands. Rooms are spacious, and junior suites have Bang & Olufsen TVs and stereos. The exercise room is one of the larger ones in Berlin, and swimmers can flip a switch in the pool to swim against a current. The extensive spa includes an ice grotto and Finnish sauna.

    Faded glory describes this hotel in the center of West Berlin. The structure has the charm of the 1970ties and badly needs an update. I would hardly rate it 5 stars anymore.

    Location: If you prefer a location in the Kurfürstendamm neighbourhood, the Palace is well located, in a high-rise building complex next to the Gedächtniskirche. Shopping, Zoo, museums, restaurants, U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations are very close.

    Building: A soulless concrete structure with faded elegance from the 1970ties.

    Rooms: The rooms are the main weakness of this hotel. The rooms are small and dated. The furnishing shows wear&tear, and everything is far from luxury. More 3.5 stars than 5 stars.

    Food&beverage: The First Floor restaurant is still one of Berlin's very best restaurants and the 10-course surprise menu will be a memorable experience. But with such good transportation in Berlin, why staying in this hotel when you want to dine at the First Floor?

    Conclusion: You often get bargain deals for rooms at the Palace and you may think "Wow - I can afford a luxury hotel!" But the truth is: what you get is far from luxury and frankly said, spend a little more for a better hotel.
