What guests think

ARCOTEL John F Berlin draws praise for its central, quiet location near Museum Island and major sights, generally spacious, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff, while reviews also note inconsistent housekeeping, limited amenities, and occasional maintenance or service issues.

On site parking is scarce and nearby garages can be pricey, and some facilities like the restaurant or bar have limited hours. Guests appreciate the calm, safe setting, though a few mention minimal nightlife and a business district feel with some 20 minute walks to certain spots. Expect a well located base with occasional quirks.

Ok værelse. Larmende varmeanlæg, der holdt en vågen om natten. Manglende parkeringsplads- 12 pladser til 190 værelser. Det betød dyr parkering væk fra hotellet. Placeringen er central men der er ikke meget byliv i det område.

Nice hotel in city center, but need some upgrades. Rooms very different - our friends had a pantry with a mini fridge, ours didn’t even have a fridge. But: Comfortable beds, quiet location, nice breakfast. Fun gadget: a minibar robot that came to your room upon request. Value for money ok.

Das Zimmer war sehr abgenutzt, überall waren Spuren der vorigen Gäste an den Wänden. Im Bad waren Schimmelstellen in den Fugen, Dreck an den Fliesen und Teppich. Ich habe alles auf Fotos dokumentiert. Ich habe ein Comfort-Zimmer gebucht, was laut Expedia eine Minibar haben sollte. Es fand sich jedoch weder ein Kühlschrank noch eine Minibar. An der Rezeption erklärte man nur es gäbe einige Zimmer mit Minibar und ohne. Mir konnte jedoch kein anderes Zimmer angeboten werden, noch habe ich eine Minibar erhalten. Man sagte mir, da ich über Expedia gebucht habe, seien keine Entschädigungen möglich und ich hätte besser über das Hotel direkt buchen sollen. Der Manager des Hotels war nie zu sprechen.

Appalling. This is at best a 3 star hotel masquerading as a 4 star. For an almost €200/night (post tax) Jr suite my fiancé and I got: A "city view"on the first floor that looked into the courtyard. A "king size bed" that was just two small beds pressed together. Weathered chairs, a mini fridge that didn't work, cheap IKEA furniture that was falling apart with parts that were clearly painted over, and a disgusting bathroom. I've stayed at nicer motels. At least there the price is comesurate with the expected quality.

Ett bra hotell. Bra standard. Tysta rum. Helt okej sängar. ACn funkade inte. Vilket säkert inte är så farligt under de flesta av årets dagar. Men nu var det värmebölja, vilket gjorde det lite varmt på rummet. Bra med stor och kall kyl på rummet. För vatten och öl kunde förvaras lättillgängligt. Badrummet behöver lite rensning av avloppen - inte jättefräscht att duscha med översvämning (vem vet hur mycket hår, hud och tvålrester från tidigare gäster som ligger i avloppet och jäser) Städning måste man boka. Men när jag skulle göra det kunde jag bar avboka städningen.. idk. Men området är toppen! Nära u-bahn samt buss och lätta avstånd till Berlins mest berömda sevärdheter. Nära allt liksom. Och ändå privat och tyst och stillsamt.

The hotel must have been nice and dandy a couple of years back, but it's past its prime days. Reception is understaffed and not very helpful. We showed up an hour before check in time, the room wasn't ready yet (which is fine) but rather than preallocating us somewhere, we had to show up at 3 when there was a crazy queue. Another guest commented that such waiting lines are ok at Xmas markets not at the hotel. Amenities in the room are minimal (no vanity set, cheap soap in dispensers, no water, no minibar). There was a spot for fruit which is now replaced by a piece of paper depicting an apple. There is a better hotel in the vicinity, I'll be staying there instead next time

The location is very convenient: minutes from Alexander Platz, Friedrich strasse and Unter den Linden. Minutes from U5 and U2 stations. Very secure area as the hotel is adjacent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Quiet and nice neighborhood in Mitte with great restaurants. Regular rooms are fair but a bit small. Next level up, rooms are more spacious. Overall simple, clean and no-frills hotel located super conveniently in the heart of Berlin Mitte.

The hotel was great for our stay, around 5 minute walk to the U Bahn. We walked to the TV Tower in around 20 minutes. The hotel was quiet and really clean. Reception was always on hand to help. The hotel menu was a little limited but the staff were great. It said that they had a laundry service which was quite expensive (€4 for a pair of socks)! All in all though a nice little place to stay that was value for money and very convenient.
