Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin

Absolutely fantastic experience at the Adlon Kempinski, it lived up to its reputation as a high end luxury hotel. The staff were really attentive, and the rooms excellent. The location next to the Brandenburg Gate was ideal for visiting all the attractions. It was most definitely not a budget holiday but this was a special treat for us so we didn’t mind splashing out!

When travelling, I always focused on the question of value. Yes, the Adlon is expensive. However, the value is there. The hotel is very old school in the most positive way. The location could not be more central. The staff is always helpful. The rooms are immaculate and well appointed. We would definitely stay here again, Very highly recommended.

We stayed here for 4 days while in Berlin. Location is great, minutes to the main train station by taxi, bus around the corner, and underground metro system at the corner of the hotel. Easily accessible taxis are right outside the hotel. The front reception always met us with a smile and helped grab taxis for us when needed. You are right at Brandenburg Gate. Easily walkable to the Jewish memorial and museum Island. We also walked to the TV tower. Check in could be a little better it took a long time to go through the process and we were not walked up to our room which is not typical of a 5 star hotel. However, our room was absolutely beautiful. The coffee machine was broken. We called 2 days in a row and no one ever came to fix it so on the 2nd day they sent up hot coffee. The first night we arrived we ordered room service (pasta) it was not edible. Pretty hard to get basic pasta wrong. We gave room service another try another night after walking all day and being exhausted. Second time the food was much better. One evening we enjoyed cocktails and dessert in the lobby bar. The lovely woman that served us was so amazing and made our experience at the bar amazing. They serve a buffet breakfast however service is really bad for a five star hotel. If you ask for a coffee you’re lucky to get it within 30 minutes. There are so many people that work in the breakfast area just standing around doing nothing. The first day I had to ask 3 different people for one cup of coffee and 30 minutes later it appeared when we were ready to leave. The second day we had to get up out of seats and walk over to the staff that would stand around just talking to each other ignoring the tables to ask for coffee. The third day they changed the breakfast hours and we realized when we checked in the paper they gave us never mentioned that particular day would have a change in hours. The fourth day we decided to skip breakfast at the hotel completely even though it was included in our rate as it was simply a bad experience and not how we wanted to start our day. Overall, lovely hotel with great location, front door staff and hotel lobby bar staff are amazing. Breakfast staff needs completely new management and training and checkin reception should be retrained to walk all guest to their room and show them how to use everything in the room.

From the moment I stepped into the elegant lobby, I knew my stay at Hotel Adlon Kempinski would be unforgettable. The location couldn’t be better—right next to the Brandenburg Gate and within walking distance of Berlin’s major landmarks. My room was immaculate, quiet, and offered a perfect view of the city. Every detail, from the plush bedding to the thoughtful amenities, reflected five-star quality. The staff was courteous, always ready to assist, and made me feel truly welcome. I especially appreciated the concierge service that gave excellent local recommendations. The breakfast buffet was exceptional—fresh, varied, and beautifully presented. After long days of sightseeing, coming back to the serene spa and wellness area was a delight. A big plus: all my local travel during the stay was handled through monTransport.com. Their drivers picked me up right from the hotel entrance—on time and hassle-free. If you're visiting Berlin and want comfort, service, and unbeatable location, I highly recommend this hotel.

What a fantastic hotel, right in the heart of historic Berlin. The hotel is a lap of understated luxury, nothing is too much trouble. If you like breakfast you will certainly not be disappointed never have I seen such a wide variety. The rooms are extremely spacious. We were here with a group of over 150 for a conference, with events onsite and off, plenty of recommendations from the doormen of what to do and where to go.
