It’s an affordable place. The room was basic but it had a nice touch which was apples. When we arrived we saw apples and I thought that was nice of the hotel. Bathroom was okay nothing surprising. We didn’t eat at the restaurant there so I can’t command on their food. Their service was nice – well trained staffs. If... More

Overall I was pleased with my stay at Velvet. The room is nice facing the main street. They have huge window, so people might can see from the outside. So you have to close with the curtains - but that doesnt bother me. They dont serve breakfast but there's a restaurant connecting to the hotel, also many cafes around the... More

I feel so disappointed with our overall experience at Arcotel Velvet. I had booked a Junior Suite for 4 nights for my husband's 50th birthday and the hotel had been recommended to me by my sister and a close friend. However we arrived in our suite to find that the electric shutters in our room weren't working so we phoned... More

Overall I was very pleased with the stay at Velvet. Above everything I found the staff at the reception very patient and helpful. Since I was enrolled in a training close by, the location was perfect for me. I would say the price of the room was good. The decor I found was excellent for the price. Not just the... More

Stayed in the hotel with my husband three nights: It was cold winter weekend in Berlin, Tiergarten covered with snow… It was the façade of the hotel that inspired me to choose just this place. The surroundings were familiar from a former visit, we knew there are several cafés, bars and restaurants along the street, relaxed atmosphere and good connections... More

We returned to the Velvet in Berlin in early January 2013, not having stayed there for six years. I wrote a very positive review of this hotel years ago, and was interested to see how it stands up. We paid about 150 AUD per night for a junior suite. Well, it's not a luxury hotel. The bathroom is reasonably basic,... More

Arcotel Velvet is a good hotel for those looking for a reasonably priced base in Berlin. Located right next to Oranienburger Tor train station and a short walk to Hakescher Market. The staff are friendly and willing to help you book restaurants or suggest transport routes. The only bad thing about the hotel is no wifi in the bedrooms. This... More

Great if you get a price around 100 Euros and travel alone. I stayed in this hotel many times. It is quirky, has a bit of the cool Berlin esprit, the rooms are well appointed for one and the location is perfect! Unfortunately, this time around, we were two sharing a comfort double room and found the beds are impossible... More

hotel was booked on a whim while going to Berlinale Film Festival.....no time to properly research and so Arcotel was the choice of the day. Pleasant surprise indeed.....it was very cheap (by NYC/London/Rio standards) considering the location and the size of the room, not to mention free wi-fi (unlike most of the hotels in the area). Great location - in... More
