Grand City Hotel Berlin Zentrum Rating: 3.0 Pearls

Charlottenburg, Berlin, Germany

Pros

• Excellent, central location on Kurfurstendamm, a shopping main drag
• Clean, slightly dated rooms with small flat-screen TVs and tiny bathrooms
• Pricier room categories have much larger, more appealing bathrooms
• Bright lobby bar is open 24 hours and serves snacks
• Small breakfast area serves a daily buffet
• Convenient location near transport, shops, and restaurants
• Pets allowed (for a fee)

Cons

• Some complaints about dark rooms
• Standard rooms lack safes and coffeemakers
• No toiletries provided besides an all-in-one dispenser
• Tiny (but clean and bright) fitness center with 3 cardio machines
• Fees for Wi-Fi

Bottom Line

The Grand City Hotel Berlin Zentrum is a mid-range property with a great location. Rooms are clean but slightly dated, and lack basic amenities (standard rooms don't have coffeemakers or safes, and no rooms have alarm clocks). Rooms have small, flat-screen TVs and tiny bathrooms, unless guests choose to upgrade to one of the pricier room options. Its location on Kurfurstendamm, a main drag with tons of shopping and restaurants, is a real draw, along with the appealing, 24-hour lobby bar. While the red and yellow color scheme is appealing in a traditional way, a nearby sister property -- the Grand City Hotel Berlin Kudamm -- is in better shape and may be a better value.
