My taxi was arranged by IBIS...and the taxi to the airport was RIDICULOUS...79EUROS...IBIS signs a contract with taxi companies and should keep these taxi companies INLINE. Next time, I will use UBER...maximum is 53EUROS from IBIS to the airport...

Don’t expect any usually amenities like fridge, microwave, kettle and safe in your room. I knew it is part of the cost of operation but this price does not reflect much of these cost saving measures. At least I did not feel the savings was passed to me and I think it all went to ibis company

Dear Kang-Wu Philip,Thank you for staying with us at ibis Berlin Hauptbahnhof and for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We understand that our guests expect to receive certain amenities while staying with us and of course we do strive to offer our guests a pleasant experience while providing them with the best possible value. The mentioned amenities that you missed were not reduced due to cost cutting but are simply not part of the product in general. Most of the mentioned items wont fit into the room and we decided to offer for example kettles at the reception.We take pride in offering competitive rates and excellent service, while also doing our best to pass on cost savings to our guests. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope that you will stay with us again soon.Johanna BossGeneral Manager

This hotel is very handy right next door to the train station. it doesn't get any better than this for transportation. We navigated everywhere we wanted to go just fine. The rooms are small, a bit tight for 2 people-but we managed just fine. The room gets hot, but if you open your window the allowed crack, the room gets very loud. So many sirens, day and night. Front desk staff is helpful and speak English. There is a grocery store in the train station-along with places to eat which is nice.
Response from Johanna on 15 Dec 2023
Dear Kimbra,Thank you for your detailed feedback! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location right next to the train station and that you were pleased with the helpfulness of our staff. We apologize that the room felt a bit tight for two people and that it got hot during your stay. It is true that due to our excellent location in Berlin, it can get a bit louder despite the triple glazed windows. If you book with us again, please do not hesitate to let us know if you prefer a quieter room and we will do our best to make this possible for your stay. Additionally, we are glad that you were able to take advantage of the grocery store in the train station as well as all of the nearby dining options. We hope you had an enjoyable stay overall and look forward to having you back should your travels bring you back to Berlin!Johanna BossGeneral Manager

Dear Simon,thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us!We are glad that you liked the hotel and had a good stay.I am sorry that the booking policies was not as expected. We always offer one flexible and one non flexible option. The first one can be cancelled or modified up to one day prior to check in, the other is always cheaper but must be paid in advance and cannot be cancelled or modified. These structures are implemented in all Accor Hotels worldwide, to avoid dissatisfaction such as yours.I really hope that we will be able to welcome you again with us!Best regards from Berlin

Disappointed
Location is excellent - the Central Station is across the street. Overall services were good buy ruined by one of the night shift staff. The shower door leaks and wet the floor and the drainage of the sink in the bathroom was very slow. When we told that night shift staff on Saturday night, he only gave us towels to soak it - not even to look at the problem. Further, he staff said "It maybe up to our country's standard and may be different from your country. And no maintenance staff works on Sundays in our country - maybe different from your country. Anyway, I write it down and our staff will check it on Monday." - Nobody has ever come before we left on Wednesday. The air-conditioning was bad - only provided cold air.

Great place to stay in Berlin. New building, Rooms are small as many hotel rooms in Europe are small, although it is well designed , the room is utilizing the space properly. My son & I were very comfortable in the room. Staffs are very friendly, welcoming & helpful. The location is the greatest plus, Right in front of Hauptbahnhof, and Straßenbahn station, easy to travel everywhere. Hauptbahnhof has 4stories, I Bahn, S Bahn, ICE, with plenty of shops also has Rossmann store (snacks, water, basic travel needs). There’s no street noise with closed window. I will definitely stay here again.
