At Garner Hotel Berlin - Checkpoint Charlie by IHG, travellers praise the central, U-Bahn-close location and friendly staff, while rooms are simple and comfortable but vary in size, and the lack of air conditioning can make summer stays warm.

Most guests find the hotel and rooms clean, though a few note bathroom mold, worn carpets, or inconsistent replenishment.

Perfekte City Lage, um zu Fuß alles zu erkunden (Checkpoint, Charlie, Brandenburger Tor, Friedrichstraße, Reichstag, Siegessäule…). Die Mitarbeiterin im Abend/Nacht Service hätte freundlicher sein können. Zudem konnte sie uns keine Parkmöglichkeiten in der Nähe des Hotels benennen. Fehlende Parkmöglichkeiten sind das größte Manko. Wir hatten dann einen größeren Parkplatz in der Wilhelmstraße gefunden, circa 400 m entfernt und sind dann alles per Fuß gelaufen.

Great location in the Western part of Berlin. Do your map checks prior to venturing out. Very easy to walk, rent a scooter, Uber, bus, taxi etc. to get around. Parking is difficult so be prepared to park down the street or within a 5 min walk from Hotel.

Conveniently located by two U-bahn stops. Checkpoint Charlie is a 5 minute walk away. Don't believe the offer for a free drink to skip housecleaning. I did, but couldn't use the coupon for the free drink because it didn't include beer. It is only for a select beverage. Not what the door tag said. To me, a free drink includes beer. I don't drink hard alcohol, so I think I was enticed to get something I wouldn't use. Had I known beer didn't count, I would have taken the fresh linens.

Pleasant hotel in a very convenient, safe location close to public transport. Staff were friendly and helpful though some did not speak English which made things tricky at times. The breakfast was excellent with the most divine German Muesli. Highly recommend. No air conditioning or mini bar in the rooms but the fan helped a lot. Overall a very good stay.

We really enjoyed this hotel. Kinda no frills. Busy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking is tough… street parking. You might have to drive around a bit to find a spot. Checkpoint Charlie is so close by. Hop on Hop off bus is close. Lots of museums nearby and things to do. Breakfast is basic for 19 euros. Room was comfortable. I’d consider staying here again.

It is a fairly basic hotel and the rooms do not have any view. But if you want a clean comfortable room in a fairly good location then this place is fine. There is a few tourist sites in the Area and also Liquidrom which is the best Sauna/Spa in Berlin. The cleaner was friendly and did a fantastic job with my room. I also love the fact I can open the window and turn the heating on and off. Very comfortable room

Central location and comfortable enough, but not a 4* hotel in my opinion. Reception were helpful, but didn't go out of their way to be - for example, an email before we set out asking for advice about public transport resulted in a website address in reply rather than actual advice. Housekeeping was not great. No tea provided & the instant coffee we used was not replaced, nor was the mineral water, & the mugs & glasses were not washed on any of the days. However, plenty of hot water in the shower and we slept well after long days exploring the city & the central location was very convenient.

The room itself was just a bit functional. Bed was comfy, shower worked well but the room itself was fairly small and had little natural light. There was a bottle of water and tea making facilities but no milk and things were not replenished for the second day. Also very visible building /refurbishment was happening in the adjoining building. It was a "practical" stay but felt like a few more details couldve made it more comfortable/welcoming . nothing

Ótima localização para visitar a Parte leste de Berlim. Confortável, muito embora tenhamos que fazer uma importante observação em relação a uma estadia de verão: como boa parte dos hotéis da Europa, não possui ar condicionado. Estão muito bem preparados para o frio (calefação no banheiro e quarto), porém na forte onda de calor pode ficar um pouco desconfortável. A última noite foi bem difícil. A sensação térmica ao final do dia estava em 38 graus. O quarto ficou quente.

They offered me a free breakfast the last night for the inconveniences. I was also sick during those days and no one even helped me carrying my stuff from.moving from room to room. The cleaning ladies entered in my room at 8am on Saturday while I was in bed sleeping. Without speaking a word of English. Very bad.

Decent location in Berlin, but got quite a surprise when I checked in. The room was nowhere as large as advertised on Hotels.com or Select Hotels own website. Booked & paid for a superior room but got a smaller. They just added a tea/coffee kettle and called it a superior. The room was smaller and lacked advertised furniture for a superior room. Went down twice and complained, but one of the staff was flexible with truth and stated that the hotel just had one form of room, and the other insisted that I got a superior and finally screamed at me. Staff in reception are unsuitable to hold positions in service. But other staff were better and breakfast was flat out good. Would never stay again due to poor attitude though. And paid for a product that I didn't got.

Everything except for the rush to check out was good. An hour before checkout the cleaning lady came 3 times into the room despite the do not disturb sign. Due to language barrier she came the last time with a note saying checkout at 12. She came at 11:20… it was frustrating to keep getting interrupted, felt very forced to check out before the official check-out.
