Heating and a/c wasn't working first night, so I got - it must be you not knowing what you are doing until the next day I went down and complained and they fixed it.

Amazing staff, rooms and even better breakfast!
A great location super rooms and fantastic staff at reception, they were always so helpful and the hotel should be commended for their reception team - first rate!
The room was really quiet and spacious.
The breakfast is also the best I have seen in Berlin, it's immense... you might think it's expensive, however, you will not need lunch! If you enjoy breakfast, you're in for a treat... outstanding.

Lovely traveler hotel, however the Hotels.com description wrongly states there is self use laundry. That is not the case.
The breakfast is outstanding

Good area for a city break
A modern functional hotel with lots of amenities close by (less than a 10 minute walk). The road outside is large with lots of office blocks but under them are restaurants and bars. We also used the Steinecke bakery at the top of the road for breakfast and coffee. Would stay there again.

Great for a Berlin getaway
We‘ve been to the Scandia Hotel before and new what to expect. It sports a Scandinavian, modern, no-frills charme. It‘s all we needed for a couple of days in Berlin. The location right by the Potsdamer Platz is ideal. The subway station is literally on the same building. Right across the street is the Playce, a shopping mall with a big food court and a huge parking garage that serves as overflow parking for the hotel as well. Breakfast is just great, buffet style, of many different islands for warm and cold choices. The hotel did not give me the warm and fuzzies but it did everything I expected it to do.

Scandic Potsdamer Hotel in the Heart of Berlin
Very nice modern hotel, conveniently located within walking distance of the Potsdamer Platz and just steps away from the Mendelssohn-Bartholdy metro station (and public park).

Great location near Potsdamer Platz and virtually next door to underground station . I only gave it 4 stars because I thought it was a bit expensive . Maybe that’s the going rate though

The hostel is close to the train station and about 15 minutes from the Brandenburg gate and other tourist monuments. Good price, amazing breakfast, and comfortable rooms. I definitely recommend it.
Ps.: something I forgot to mention in my first review is about air conditioning. I learned that AC is not a German thing so if you will be visiting in the summer your room could be a little warm even though they have AC in the rooms. My first stay was in room 7091 and it was warm at 21 degrees Celsius (69F) because the sun hit directly into the big windows. My second stay was in room 4033 (I believe ) and this time the temperature (21 Celsius) in the room was much better because the sun didn't hit directly into the room window. Even though I still recommend Scandic hotel if you are planning to visit Berlin.
