The location is just perfect. U2 and U5 metro stations are just 5mins. For these who want to explore Berlin on foot - Berliner Dom is 5-7mins, Alexanderplatz or Brandenburger Tor just 15mins. A lot of running posibilities around. So the location is perfect. Hotel itself is nice, but nothing spectacular. Room was just fine, personell polite and helpful. Breakfast was kinda ok (you can make an argument that the variety was a bit poor, but in general it was just fine).

I would have better expectations for the gym :-) I wouldn't call that room a gym (full room is visible in the attached photo).

The hotel is located several minutes away from U5 Museumsinsel Metro Stop. The location is good, walking distance to Alexanderplatz. The room was spacious. The shower was huge and very convenient. It was always cleaned very well.

The staff was very cold. They never greeted their guests. When we arrived, it took two minutes for the staff to even notice us standing in front of them . They took 50€ as a deposit and didn’t provide a receipt for that. We felt very unwelcome. We booked a room with two twin beds, and I wrote them several days later reminding to provide two twin beds, they replied with - we can’t promise that. Then why would you have an option of a room with twin beds in the first place. There was a small kitchen in a room with a sink and electric stove. But there were no utensils to use. That was weird.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. When I asked where I could find a chemist to purchase some sunscreen, I was given a small tube of sunscreen at the reception desk. This was unexpected but very much appreciated. The hotels location was nice and close to all of the major monuments and museum that we wanted to visit. Oh, and the apples for guests at reception was a nice touch.

There was no fridge in the room, and the airconditiong did not work. The room was very warm overnight, making sleep difficult. We asked about the aircon the next day. We were provided with a freestanding fan and a promise that someone would come to have a look at it on Monday. This didnt happen.

I had a great stay at Arcotel John F Berlin! The property itself is clean, stylish, and located in a perfect spot—just a short walk from Museum Island and many main attractions. The room was spacious, quiet, and very comfortable. A special thanks to Arsalan at the front desk, who was incredibly helpful and accommodating. He went out of his way to arrange an early check-in at 10:30 AM, which made a huge difference after a long journey. His professionalism and warm attitude truly added to the overall experience. Would definitely recommend this hotel for both business and leisure stays!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had questions before my arrival and they answered very promptly. I loved the huge window in the room (my little daughter enjoyed it as well). I loved the fact that there was a bathtub in the bathroom, not just a shower. The room and the hotel were clean. All in all it was a great experience. Breakfast was pretty great because you had a lot of options, a large variety of fruits, sweets, cereals and other breakfast food available. It was nice and tasty.

The eating area was pretty crowded at the time that we decided to eat and even though there were 2 baby seats available, apparently they weren't enough. There were more than two children in need of them 😅

Location; included breakfast with ample vegan options.

I reserved two rooms, one for my wife and myself and one for my daughter. Arcotel confused the two on check-in and checkout, even insisting that we had checked out a day early when our daughter had done so. But after a while, they got everything sorted out. (Lesson learned: don't book two rooms at the same time; book them separately. This is true for any hotel.) The hotel bar was slow and staffed by one beleaguered person with other duties.

We had a wonderful stay at ARCOTEL John F Berlin! The location is perfect—central, quiet, and within walking distance of many major attractions like Museum Island and Brandenburg Gate. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed. The staff were kind and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Overall, a great experience—we would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Berlin!

Maybe I suggest having more options regarding breakfast.

We really liked this place. The location is excellent, you are in the city center, well connected to every spot of the city, but it's very peaceful and you can rest after a long day. The bed is super comfortable, and the provided morning coffee was a great addition. Also, it's very clean.

There is a kitchen, but it lacks absolutely everything - no utensils, plates, dish detergent, making it practically useless.

I travelled to Berlin with my son for a few days and we really enjoyed our stay. The staff at the reception was very kind and accommodating. Our room was easily switched to a room with two single beds. The rooms look great, just like in the photos. Lovely breakfast buffet. The hotel was very clean. The location was great, just around the corner from Museumsinsel (museum island) and Gendarmenmarkt. The hop-on-hop-off bus stop is just down the road (handy for tourists) and public transport options are close by.

I think the lobby/bar look a bit uninviting, which is a shame compared to how nice the rooms look. When I ordered a glass of house wine at the bar, the bartender charged me €11. The next day I checked the menu and turns out the bartender poured the most expensive white wine he had, which I thought was not very kind.

I was very comfortable here. I slept very well. My room was spacious and it had multiple mirrors. The warm light in the bathroom was fun. The staff were lovely and make great effort to communicate in their second or likely third or fourth language. I requested an iron and ironing board and they were delivered to my room without charge. I was also given extra tea bags when I asked for them.

I'd never had so much difficulty operating a kettle in my life. There was no 'big light' in the room, meaning I had to turn on two to light the space evenly. There was some hidden dirt in my room like a little dust high up, some grime on the underside of the bathroom sink surface edge, and somebody else's sock left in a cupboard.
