The property has a long history. VIP Hotel in Berlin's haydays, Timmy, the painter, in the Lobby. Booking it today is a madhouse affair, direct Bristol rates are steeper than "booking" (.com) engines, GHA Discovery price for "Insiders" still higher, and "Breakfast Buffet" is a scam. €25 for Hotel guests, €19 if booked with the room, but the DISREPUTATIONAL reality is that third-party provider "REINHARD'S AM KUDAMM" (who actually offers the Buffet) allows Bristol to mark it up for his inhouse Hotel clients by up to €13 extra. It is the "outsourcing surcharge". That is not honest policy, especially when some breakfasters uncover it. Also, nice white table cloth was removed a while ago for cheapness and not for "more rustic looks". Highspeed Internet seems to be another reputational challenge for management, little stickers, silly restrictions, all from 101 "Don't Do It" Hospitality class. Clean up these acts, please.
