Courtyard by Marriott Berlin City Center

comfortable hotel in convenient area

Really lovely hotel in a very handy location. Just 3 stops on the UBahn from Alexanderplatz and just round the corner from Spittelmarkt stop, this hotel was 10 mins walk from Checkpoint Charlie and Gendarmenmarkt. The hotel itself was clean and spotlessly tidy, the staff were smiley, polite and ever helpful. Our room, one of the King size bed rooms, was on the sixth (top) floor and was a great size. The mini fridge was a godsend, especially as we nabbed a few bits at the local Lidl, just round the corner, to keep us fed and watered. There was also an ice machine, which was very handy. We didn't use the gym, however I'm sure it would have been great. The bar was great and they did some lovely food, we can recommend the Club Sandwich, the Gentleman's Salad and the Salami pizza.

I stayed with a friend at the Courtyard by Marriot over the Easter weekend sharing a twin room. The hotel was a bit more geared towards the business traveller than we were led to believe - however the room was a good size and everywhere was spotless. The gym and wellness area was very small and with only a sauna a bit lacking compared to other choices. There didn’t seem to be much going on in the hotel of an evening, it would have been nice to have a more welcoming area for a drink and socialising. There was no view from our rear facing room to talk of and although the breakfast buffet looked excellent at €18.50 each we decided to eat elsewhere to save some cash. The location was good for Checkpoint Charlie and the panorama 360 wall exhibition was a good find, but the area is a bit lacking in soul. It was quite a walk to find any interesting food places/bars/shops and we found many shut over the Easter weekend. All in all it served its purpose and was good value but next time I would look for better facilities and a more vibrant location.

Overall a comfortable stay, no problems at all. Great breakfast with a wide choice of food, clean comfortable rooms , bar available until late. A good location , close walking distance to the city centre. I would definitely choose this hotel again.

Our trip to Berlin was great; the hotel was just a little way out of the main area, but it didn't spoil our stay. There were still lots of eateries nearby. Berlin itself was absolutely lovely, the people were friendly and everywhere very clean. We would definitely recommend it and would like to go back when the weather is warmer and to see the City in the Spring or Summer.
