This hotel chain is a bit overrated recently, the room is nice not nothing special, the bed is not particularly comfortable and the so called ' design' is just trying to make it different with the traditional hotel. I will recommend this hotel to friends if the price can pull down a bit. you may find it surprise when you... more

Stayed at the Arcotel Velvet for 1 week commencing the 5th April 09 . And like all other comments it is an excellent hotel in an excellent location.

It's 10 years since we were last in Berlin, and I suppose I was a bit worried that the place might have changed beyond all recognition - caught up in the homogeny that seems to be taking over the world.

They gave us a double room adjacent to, and connected by door, with our son's single room. Floor to ceiling windows, great views. The 'shades' were... more

This is a great hotel!. It lived up to the pictures on expedia when we booked it. The hotel is in a great location with lots of cafe's and restaurants close by. The room was really nicely decorated and I loved all the little quirky touches (the apples on the wall, the slightly bizarre little products in the mini bar).... more

We stayed at the Velvet over New Year 08/09 and it cost £70 per night, booking with the hotel's website. Finding the hotel was very easy - the nearest S-Bahn station is a very short walk away. Upon arrival I was impressed at the modern look and feel of the Velvet and the reception was pleasing. We were allocated a... more
