Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin

It’s a good hotel overall - but it’s old and I bit worn out, specially the deluxe rooms. Spiderwebs in the laps and dust, is a clear sign for me, that the Adlon doesn’t have eyes for the small details. The staff are so kind and helpful.

We stayed at the Adlon for two nights, capping off the end of our Germany trip. The location of this hotel can’t be beat. The parking garage is accessed on the backside of the hotel, but you don’t need a car to get around the city. The breakfast was excellent and lobby bar a great place to relax after a long day. The pool and spa area was clean and relaxing. Although it did close for the night earlier than we expected so check the hours before you head down. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom spacious with a separate room for the toilet and separate tub and shower. The air conditioning didn’t quite live up to my spoiled American’s standards, but was MUCH better than some of the hotels we stayed at during the June 2026 heatwave. We were also grateful for the umbrella that came with the room, the heat broke with a storm on our last day and we were able to continue sightseeing despite a little rain because of the thoughtfulness of having an umbrella in the room. The history of this hotel is fascinating, I encourage visitors to learn about the hotel and its role in history before staying, it will enhance your visit.

We spent 3 nights at The Adlon in late July 2026 and it was a wonderful and outstanding stay at this iconic property! We had a Deluxe Room on the 5th floor with a nice view over Wilhelmstraße and a glimpse of the Fernsehturm and Dom cupola . The room conditions, amenities, the warm and professional service, plus the great breakfast, all made our stay a memorable one! Breakfast is a serious matter at The Adlon, with the infinite spread of high quality options, to the attentive service and beautiful views! So allow yourself the time to fully enjoy this great start of the day! We also enjoyed the extensive wellness facilities and, of course, the unbeatable unique location. Overall the atmosphere of the hotel is part of the experience and as soon as you walk into the grand lobby, you immediately feel the relaxed 5*+ service which is all about small details such as a welcome drink served with a smile, the friendly yet professional check-in process, etc. As constructive points to address to make the experience even more exceptional could be: a welcome fruit basket in the room, a small treat with turndown service and a better quality of coffee capsules. Definetely a memorable and unique stay and experience in perfect old style hotellerie combined with contemporary comforts!

Location by Brandenburger Tor and close to Deutschen Bundestag. You can easily access public transportation. We stayed in a junior suite on the 6th floor with a a view towards the Bundestag and overlooking flower beds and the hotel facade. We had a person sleeping on the sofa bed, unusually comfortable. The service was good but didn’t exceed our expectations. In the Lobby bar the staff was nice but not tentative but once you got their attention they where helpful. Our perception was the same regarding breakfast service. The breakfast buffet has a wide selection of food and if you enjoy champagne and caviar this might be the place for you. We did use the gym which has good equipment but if you are a true gym person you might not find it adequate. The pool area is nice but don’t expect a large pool. It’s big enough to do shorter laps. The less positive experience was with hotell security who asked for proof that we stayed at the hotel by asking us to show him our hotel key whilst others just passed by without any questions asked. Except for this incident our stay has been good and we chose to stay at the hotel for a special occasion as it is considered the oldest and one of the best hotels in Berlin.

Horrible experience at checking in. We had specifically requested for an early check in at the time of our reservation. Subsequently a day before our check in we made a request for early check in. We landed up at the hotel at 1:30 pm and were told that the room will be ready in half an hour’s time. After waiting for 1.5 hours we went to the receptionist to ask if our room was ready. Shamelessly the receptionist told us to BACKOFF from the reception desk and continue with our endless wait. Finally after great persuasion we were given our room at 3:15 pm.
