My husband and I stayed for 7 nights at the Arcotel Velvet in Berlin this past July. The hotel was GREAT! Fantastic location, walking distance to great shopping, museums, bars and all kinds of restaurants right on our doorstep. We didn't eat at the Austrian restaurant downstairs, a bit pricey especially since we're veg., but many vegetarian options (falafels, italian,... more

We stayed at this hotel last spring based on positive reviews from Trip Advisor. This will add to those positive reviews. The hotel room is very comfortable and very modern chic - you have to like bold colors to stay here. The bed was cozy and there was a large plasma screen tv. I loved the floor to ceiling windows;... more

I was in Berlin on an academically-related business deal in Mitte, and my artistically inclined colleagues were impressed that I was staying at "the fishbowl" but warned me not to forget to close the curtains! I did in fact have one of the front rooms, which had an entire wall of glass part of the hotel frontage. Being on the... more

Stayed at the hotel for 7 nights in August. All staff were very friendly. The room was immaculate and decorated in a modern yet comfortable style. Rooms have air conditioning and external blackout blinds were good touches. The room had a large shower with a glass door which was within a curtained room, which also housed a large sink. The... more

Arcotel enjoys a great location. The hotel is located in the Mitte area and is connected by both U Bahn and S Bahn subway lines. The first night we were checked in a room at the back of the building which wasn't ideal, as there's a bar/disco downstairs that will keep you awake all night. In fairness, this room has... more

This is a great hotel in a perfect location. The noise from the street is ok, we didn't lose any sleep over it. The design aspect can mostly be found in the rooms, there are many nice little details that are worth checking out. The hotel personnel is young but knowledgable and helpful. I would definitely come back again. more

With respect to all the reviews on tripadvisor I decided to book the hotel as well. And I wasn't disappointed; far from it! The Arcotel is best located on the popular Street "Oranienburger Straße", the subway "Friedrichstraße" is nearby, the rooms are extreme tasteful decorated and stylish and the staff is polite and helpful. Before you book check the design... more

A Vienna-based chain found an off-the-beaten path site to place this modern, concept hotel, and it mostly worked out. The front desk was consistently helpful, as was the barman. The free internet access at the bar almost always worked. The Manager appeared to practice avoidance, so it may be best to schmooze the front desk staff if you have any... more

My friend and I stayed here last weekend and loved the hotel. Arcotel is in the perfect location - walking distance to the tourist sights and shops, and right on the main street for bars and restaurants, so no need to walk far or use public transport at night. 30 seconds walk to the U-Bahn if you don't enjoy walking.... more
