What guests think

Holiday Inn Express Berlin City Centre by IHG draws praise for its convenient location near transport and sights, clean if compact rooms, friendly staff, and a generous included breakfast, though peak-time crowds and limited hot options are common.

Underground parking is handy but often considered pricey, while lobby snacks and luggage storage add convenience. Rooms are frequently described as small, with sofa beds or pillows uncomfortable for some and air conditioning occasionally ineffective. A few guests experienced housekeeping oversights or unhelpful responses from reception. Overall, expect a practical, good-value base for sightseeing rather than extensive amenities.

Very clean throughout, staff helpful and breakfast options good. Room was on the small side for 3 of us, especially as the only mirror near a socket or counter was in the bathroom. Luggage storage available before and after check in. Great location, only 5 mins walk to station. Snacks and drinks available to buy in reception, however it would’ve been good to have a water cooler available rather than buying plastic bottles. Overall very pleased with our stay.

accommodation and breakfast are good, everything within walking distance and otherwise with the metro, only point was that the bathroom smelled of a sewer, but this would be looked into. furthermore for the price a good hotel to stay a few days in Berlin. parking is possible in the parking basement of the hotel, only the price is quite high for a day (27 euros)

The hotel is located in a convinient area and the breakfast is decent but other than that it was not good at all. When i arrived i recieved a room that smelled completely like cigarettes. After i was moved to another room i was surprised to find a pair of underwear from a previous guest laying on the floor. When i told the feont desk it disnt seemed they care to much. I explained that this is replusive and means that the rest of the room wasnt cleaned as well so i request a full clean. After waiting in my room and no one arriving i contacted hotels.com and only after that did the hotel cleaning staff show up. The next day i put a sign on my door not to enter. When i returned from my meetings outside the hotel i was surprised to see my room had been made up and the sign was put back next to the TV. Besides this my colleague who stayed in another room recieved a wake up call at 4am for no reason at all.

Only two issues 1) room was small - 3 of us meant no seats as only settee was used as 2nd bed, and 2) on Friday night it was very noisy outside (we were at the back of the hotel but there were groups of people laughing and drinking till 1am, so loud we had to use earplugs even with windows closed and that made the room very warm)
