Located in the heart of Ku’damm, this hotel boasts an unbeatable location. The rooms are spacious, stylish, and well-designed, offering a chic and comfortable stay. The bathroom was large and impeccably clean. A standout feature was the 24/7 on-site shop with fair prices—an incredibly convenient touch.

The in-room iPad constantly prompted me to opt out of daily room cleaning, citing environmental reasons—or something along those lines—which became quite annoying while using it. Another issue was the lack of attention to replenishing toiletries. Once I finished the tissues and toilet bags, they simply weren’t replaced, which felt unprofessional for a hotel of this standard. Additionally, the complimentary water service was discontinued after just two days, despite our five-day stay. It felt like a small but noticeable oversight, as providing two small bottles per day shouldn’t have been too much to ask.

This hotel has become my favorite one in Berlin. I love its location near Bahnhof Zoo, which is ideal. The rooms (even the smallest ones) are beautifully designed and the bathrooms are great! The breakfast buffet is fine, but not the best I have seen in Berlin (that was the Swissotel, which was across the street!). One great feature: the safe has an outlet inside, which allows you to charge a device while it is in the safe. Such a great idea!

I find the staff at the reception desk to be a bit aloof - never rude - but just professional without ever seeming to care particularly. Because I like the hotel so much, I feel that that is something that is a bit of a minus.

The Doring (previously Sofitel) Ku'Dam is a decent 5* Grand Hotel. I liked the spacious room, the generous breakfast, and - in particular - the museum-grade sculptures in the hotel corridors. Plus, the location just off the Ku'Dam - 500m from either Bahnhof Zoo or the famous KaDeWe department store - is great, featuring numerous nifty restaurants and bars nearby, including my favorite Literature Haus.

The elevators provide limited feedback to those waiting. The lobby / bar is not so inviting and - for a reason I do not know - there were uniformed policemen by Reception throughout my 3 nights stay...

Very capabile and approachable staff, breakfast variety, location (very close to multiple public transportation alternatives), huge comfortable rooms (shower + bath, king size bed).

I could see that while it is a traditional 5-year hotel, it could use some additional investments to really secure a premium. My only disappointment was that I couldn't use the sauna or felt safe in the women's gym locker rooms, because men kept barging in without even a towel to cover themselves. For a hotel of its reputation, they should have some "guardrails" in place.

Staff was very helpful and pleasant. The room was so spacious and was very nice to stay in - no noise and was a good temperature. The bed was comfortable, shower and bathtubs were great! Small things like a non-wallfixed hairdryer, TV sound in the bathroom and tablet to help with information and requests were much appreciated.

Very minor things: TV was fairly slow and we had to get a hotel staff to make it work at one point. No conditioner in bathroom amenities, which would have been appreciated.

The room was clean, the bathroom was nice, and it had everything needed. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city center and well-connected to public transportation. Breakfast was good.

The breakfast room however is relatively small and with many events it can quickly get very congested at certain times. Choices for bread and granola could be richer. Elevators in the morning can be congested with sometimes long wait times.

Big rooms. Very vomfotable. Spacious bathroom. Elegant entrance and convenient location. Enjoyed the option of the bar and kiosk.

A few areas for further improvementcould be; - upgrade amenities with at least conditioner. It was surprising that it was not offered - the bed mattress is comfortable but on the too soft side, for mytaste (and back) - more space for breakfast. I only had it occasionally but on the one day it was very busy

Location. Space.

We stayed here about 12 year ago when the hotel was under a different name. Enjoyed a lot back then. Now… The hotel aims to look luxury, but rooms certainly are in dire need of a facelift. Bed blankets and pillows are 100% synthetics. One will definetly sweat during night. And the matress for our liking was waaaaay too soft. Breakfast price seemed way too steep, so we didn’t even try. There are plenty of breakfast places just around the corner.

Location: Good. Room: Super spacious. Huge bath-tub. Separated toilet/ shower which is good. Huge bed, soft pillows, nice blanket. Daily room make-up was great, special thanks to the service lady at our level.

Often quite noisy from the rowdy late-night street crowd and the ambulance/ police siren. Inappropriate smoking point right at the main entrance, it doesn't make for good arrival every time. Hotel main door isn't automatic, it's heavy & difficult to go through especially with hands full/ with stroller. View from our room isn't fantastic, it's just overlooking other rooftops. Can't operate TV with remote controller. Lift door closes too fast, too fast. So many times our stroller got caught by the door/ we missed the lift.

The hotel is about twenty minutes from the city centre with excellent restaurant options available within a 4-8 minute walking distance. Staff were friendly and the hotel is modern with spacious rooms and a large bathroom. Rooms were cleaned daily.

The gym and sauna facilities are very limited and small. Not a make or break but it is a tiny space for a gym with limited equipment and options.
