Gold Palais Hotel

Great location, just 10min walk from Alexanderplatz, or just a quick tram ride since the stop is right outside the hotel. Lots of restaurants around, too. The room is tidy, and the bathroom is roomy with fantastic toiletries like shampoo, shower gel, cotton pads, and ear picks.

My son & I had booked the Gold Palais Hotel in Prenzlauer Berg as our base for a 4 night stay culminating in an evening in the Olympiastadium to enjoy a Coldplay concert. We arrived late one Saturday afternoon in early July and parked for a short spell just across the road to the hotel. Check in was easy and managed by two friendly receptionists, a young man from Nepal and a nice young lady from Poland. Both spoke English. They explained the set up including what to do if we came back after 23:00 and the reception was no longer manned. This included having a key to open the side door and an emergency number... just in case. And they offered us the one remaining car park space in the underground parking area, costing 18,00 per 24 hours. Super. We left our car down there and didn't see it again for 4 days which was great. We had a room on the 2nd floor. The first thing we had to do was to go down to reception and ask them to separate the beds converting them from one double to two singles. No problem. Apart from the relatively comfortable beds, the room was very clean and modern. We had a modern desk, chair and large wardrobe with a safe. We didn't make much use of the largish flat screen TV but were happy that there was free WiFi and enough sockets for all our electronic equipment. There was a kettle and enough coffee and tea to keep us happy. The separate bathroom was also ultra clean and modern. I liked the large, walk in shower with two shower heads, including the rainforest one which needed some repairs during our stay. The free bathroom amenities were from the "Grown Alchemist". All in all, we enjoyed our stay in this very new hotel. Once they've ironed out some of the things mentioned below this will be an even greater place to stay.

Room was of good size, much larger than would be expected for the price in downtown Berlin. Outer hallway door kept the noise down even more. Received a King bed even though room requested and specified as a family room with 2 double beds. Great access to the nearby Tram and Alexander Platz. Discount of 50% was offered for breakfast buffet (from 17€ to 9€), it was great at that price, a fair value at the original price.

Well located and very decent hotel, with a really good breakfast offered. Easily accessible area by tram or even on foot to Alexanderplatz, and from there to S-U Bahn network. Several good restaurants in the area. Room was quite spacious, furniture a bit dated but comfortable. Pillows were huge and a bit uncomfortable. Bathrooms were very modern, and everything was extremely clean. Staff were accommodating but not especially friendly. Perfect for short stays, if you don't need to travel too far into Berlin.

We booked was a big room for three and it was OK to fit in four persons. We had our room facing the inner street and it was quiet. The hotel was closed to tram and bus stops, the renovations were quite new, especially the carpet was on new side in our room. We had nice Indian foods and steak at nearby restaurants with walking distance.
