ArtHotel Connection

This is a very nice, older style hotel with a modern flair located on the third floor of an historic, renovated building in the heart of the Schöneberg district. It has a great location with many excellent restaurants and bars located nearby. KaDeWe shopping area is a 5 minute walk as are two different subway stations. The hotel is very tastefully decorated, has an elevator and the staff are excellent and very helpful. Breakfast is good and reasonably priced, parking is available if you call ahead and also well priced. It is very LBGTQ+ friendly and welcoming of all styles, peoples and pairings. Which is excellent.

It's a hotel that occupies just one floor of a historic building (the old-style lift with double doors was charming!), in the LGBT neighbouthood, which gives a special ambience in front of the building and the street it is on. The entrance is right next to a relatively big gay bar, and it could be noisy for some rooms, but in the room I stayed, the outdoor noise was not at all heard (see the noise issue inside the hotel below). The staff were helpful (although not the most efficient), the room had a nice high ceiling with cool decor, and it was very well cleaned. I did not have breakfast so cannot comment on that.

Room was even better than described. I went for the budget option but it felt very luxurious. Staff are super friendly and very accommodating. Walls are a bit thin so you can hear people in the hallway sometimes but considering how old the building is, it's not too bad. The hotel is on top of a club but I couldn't hear a thing so you can get a good night's sleep even on a weekend. The area is peaceful with lots of cute shops and restaurants and the hotel is a short walk to U Wittenbergplatz. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and will probably book here again on my next trip to Berlin.

I booked online (duh) and didn't know it had mostly (exclusively?) gay clientele. The bar in the same building downstairs literally has a sign that reads "Males Only." But other than that laugh / surprise, this hotel mostly met my expectations. It may in part be due to the fact that they didn't have the room I'd booked so they upgraded me. Whatever the reason the room was great. Everyone that worked there was great too. Solicitous and helpful, they made staying there a pleasure. This hotel is in what must have been a luxurious apartment in half of one floor of an older building. The place as been converted into rooms and works well, but it does lack a regular lobby and the breakfast room is perhaps the only place to lounge outside of one's room. There's an old fashioned elevator which works fine.

The place is one of a kind. You can tell there's great care behind every detail, and the staff makes you feel welcome and cared for. If you really want to feel pampered, have breakfast there at least once. I wish I had had more time to enjoy it. The room and bathroom were very clean and the bed was comfortable. It's located in a lovely neighborhood, and close to Wittenbergplatz station, so it's very easy to get around from there. I'll surely keep this place in mind if/when I return to Berlin!
