Good place to stay and very convenient compared to price/value. Restaurant was closed for dinner for two nights we stayed to accomodate big party. Excellent breakfast. 4blocks from main drag but next to sunderground subway. Good taxis.

La habitacion espaciosa y muy agradable. El desayuno muy variado sabroso y abundante. Sin dudas lo recomiendo como un lugar calido para hacer turismo.

Nice hotel, but the price is high. It was not possible to rent a bike, even though this was part of their offer on the web page.

In viaggio di piacere con mio marito (sessantenne), mio figlio e mia nuora (trentenni), siamo stati molto soddisfatti del soggiorno, in particolare delle stanze(spaziose, pulite e con bagni moderni) e della prima colazione. Anche il ristorante buono ed economico. Altro elemento positivo, la fermata della Metro all'ingresso dell'albergo e la vicinanza con l'Isola dei Musei

A very nice indian restorant in front of the hotel. The hotel is too much expensive in relationship to the location and quality of the rooms.A good choise only for business travelers

La ubicación del hotel es excelente considerando que se puede caminar a todos lados o tomar el metro, el cual está sólo a 20 metros de la salida del hotel y que nos dejaba cerca de las principales atracciones. Además, desde el aeropuerto de Tegel se puede llegar en bus y metro, tomando alrededor de 35 minutos. Respecto del hotel, las habitaciones son amplias, limpias y cómodas. La única crítica es la costumbre de los alemanes de usar plumones en vez de sábanas y frazadas. El desayuno es muy bueno y completo. El servicio del personal es muy atento y rápido, tanto en recepción como en el desayuno. El único problemas con ellos es que no hablan español. Si este hotel lo colocamos en París, Roma o Londres, tendría que tener 6 estrellas. Definitivamente me volvería a quedar en este hotel y lo recomiendo sin ninguna duda.

Reservé una habitación individual pero en realidad era doble, amplia y con vistas a la calle. Totalmente recomendable.

Lovely hotel with friendly and welcoming staff. They were extremely helpful during our stay and we were able to keep our room beyond the check out time and leave our bags until we were ready to leave for the airport. The area is a little quiet but the U2 underground was right by the hotel,(no noise from it though), so within minutes you can be somewhere lively in the evenings. Buy a Welcome Card that gives you unlimited travel for between 2-3 days. The hotel is in a good location for most of the major sights, would definitely stay there again.

The hotel was pleasant and very clean. I found the area it was in rather dull, although it was central, there wasn't much to do in the evenings. However the U- bahn was right next door and so it was no problem getting into more lively areas. The Markisches museum was almost next door and was very interesting. The scrambled eggs were burned at breakfast. I thought the buffet was adequate but I have had better. The reading lights could have been brighter. Nice bathroom.

We had a very nice three days stay at this hotel. The hotel is well situated, the rooms are spacious and clean and the staff competent and friendly. The only thing to complain about is that the breakfast room is too small. We had to wait twice for 10-15 minutes to have a table.

The hotel was very welcoming, situated in a good location with underground access very close by. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable and the breakfast which was included in the price was excellent. The staff were very helpful and polite. I would certainly go back to this hotel again when i visit Berlin again.

From arrival to departure everything about our stay was excellent. The quality of the food in the restaurant was very good and excellent value. The rooms were spacious, clean and quiet. The location was very central with the metro station literally a 30 second walk from the front door. A perfect location to explore Berlin

A metro ride away from the city center, this hotel is only 25 metres from the nearest metro station. The breakfasts were outstanding, and the rooms were spotless and comfortable. The hotel staff was very helpful and most had óther language'skills to suit nearly all travellers. We enjoyed our stay and recommend the Derag without reservation.

We enjoyed our stay here - the only negative thing we found was that the rooms were very very hot and that was a little unpleasant. Otherwise we were very happy.

Very enjoyable hotel. Good area, close to museum island (10 minute walk). Lots of space, little kitchenette as well as room service from the Indian restaurant across the street. Will definitely stay here again.

This hotel was very nice. They had a decent fitness center. A good breakfast. It was very clean and the rooms were big and spacious. The location isn't the best, but it's literally steps away from the underground, so that's not a problem at all. It's also near a cheap grocery store if you want to save some money. The beds are very comfortable too.

The hotel is very conveniently located. The underground station is literally across the road, a good selection of restaurants is available within a 10/15 minute walk, and the Unter Den Linden is less than a 10 minute walk. Service was good, and the breakfast excellent. We would have no hesitation in staying there again.

The stay was first rate re the quality of the rooms, the food, the location, and the personnel. I liked it enough that I'm currently in other of their hotels. The only glitch was that the internet wasn't working in the morning, but they refunded the cost of the card. [Internet services at most hotels in Europe (including this one) is vastly over-priced.]
