Great location for this hotel. Close to U-bahn and walking distance to Friedrichstraße. A lot of cafés and restaurants in the area. The hotel was nice and clean with an unusual room layout with big windows. This could be negative if you have a room on the first 2 floors. Small mini bar but not much to choose from. I... More

This hotel is perfect for a city break, being walking distance from many places and with excellent public transport connections. The rooms are modern, clean and nicely lit/decorated, the reception helpful, and the bar serves a free breakfast (filled bagels, coffee & fruit) which was perfect for us to grab on our way out somewhere. The rooms at the front... More

My husband and I and two of our friends stayed at Arcotel Velvet for 5 nights over Silvester 2011/2012. The location is excellent, a few minutes from U-bahn Oranienburger Strasse, a few more from S-bahn Oranienburger Tor and about a 10 minute walk from Friedrichstrasse station and you can easily walk to places like Hackescher Hof and Brandenburger Tor. It’s... More

Stayed at this hotel for 4 days late December and the hotel was excellent. I agree with other TA reviewers in respect of quiet rooms at the rear (courtyard) otherwise you are in full view of all the bars opposite and on the main street. There are lots of bars and restraunts on Oranienburger Strass and also further on is... More

I've stayed in ArcoTEL Velvet in Berlim in December of 2011 with some friends. I found the hotel nice. The staff always very friendly and helpful. The location was everything for me. Oranienburger Strasse, the street of the hotel, has lots of restaurants and pubs, it's nice for nightlife. There's a lots of public transports nearby on walking distance. The... More

The 4* brakfast comes in a small PAPER BAG. There is a cold sandwich inside, with cheese OR ham, a mandarine and a cereal bar. Coffee is in a paper cup as well, coffee to go... It was SOOOO DISAPPOINTING! It was written only in the SMALL LINES, in the contract. Nothing mentioned in the headline (breakfast included) So, please... More

Was in Berlin from 7 to 10 December and being my first trip to Germany, I was a little worried initially as I don't speak German and I wasn't sure if I could get to the hotel on my own. Luckily this hotel was easy to find, being close to both the tram and Oranienburger Tor U-bahn station. The service... More

Very modern good value hotel. The location is close to the centre of Berlin with good public transport and a variety of places to eat out. The area may be a bit noisy at night but you can ask for a quiet room at the rear. Our experience was that the rooms to the rear are very quiet and you... More

Just returned the beginning of December from my first visit to Berlin and found that this 4 star hotel was the perfect location for my 8 day stay. I loved every minute of my trip to Berlin! The hotel is located just around the corner from the Oranienburger Tor U-Bahn station on Friedrichstrasse. That makes it very easy to get... More
