The hotel is ideally located just 5 minutes walk from the Zooligsche Garten S-Bahn (with a supermarket right outside it) and 10 minutes walk from the Ku'Damm. It seemed safe walking around at night. We found the hotel quiet and clean - the decor may not be the most contemporary - but everything we needed was provided. The beds had... more

Pros: This hotel is located about a 2 minutes walk to the Zoo Station. If you are coming from the Tegel Airport, take bus 109 and it will take you literally to the front door of the hotel. Found this hotel in a travel package and couldn't resist the price. Cons: Noisy, can hear foot steps and your neighbors. My... more

We stayed at the Excelsior hotel for 3 nights last November, and the location was the best part. It is very close to the Zoologischer Garten station, which linked to the U Bahn and had a direct to Schoenefeld Airport. It is also 5 minutes away from Berlin Zoo (check out the panda!), the KuDamm and Kaiser Wilhelm church. The... more

We stayed here for 4 nights on a fantastic B&B deal, I think about £300 each inc flights. I was really impressed mainly because of the location, a 5 minute walk from Zoologischergarten stations - a main hub which ensured that late nights didn't involve a cab. We were a few mins from a brilliant late night store where you... more

Stayed here for two nights for a business meeting. The hotel is close to Zoo station, and indeed the zoo, in an area of modern offices. Room was rather small but clean. Did not eat in hotel but in local German restaurants, of which there are many nearby. Very handy for direst buses to Tegel airport (X9 taking about 30... more

THis Hotel is within a 10 min. walk to underground train, food market, and dept store. The area is not bad, but not as good as staying in East Berlin. All the good sites are on the East side. Rooms were clean, but very small. Our air conditioning did not work, so they gave us a room fan. The days... more

Location excellent. Hotel is badly in need of renovation. Room small and cramped. Bathroom emitted an odor. No amenties . Hair drier gave out cool air only. Reception personnel not very helpful. Breakfast expensive. Many shops nearby where you could pick up an inexpensive meal. more

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in the Excelsior and were very impressed with it. On arrival, our check-in was very quick and we were given a superior room even though we booked a standard double room. Room was very clean and spacious but bathroom quite small with no much room to move around. We ate in the... more

My husband and I visited the Excelsior Hotel in Berlin in March this year. We stayed for 4 nights. This was our second trip to Berlin, first to the Excelsior. It is located a couple of minutes from the Zoo S Bahn station and about a 5 minute walk into Kerfurstendamm. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. The staff... more
