Without doubt this is the nicest hotel we have ever stayed at. Absolutely everything about the place was perfect. Our room was so beautiful and the bathroom was fanastic with a huge shower and a separate bath with different types of bath salts. The bed was huge and really comfortable and it was a lovely tough to have it turned down for us each night with our slippers laid out. We got a good deal, but the prices at the hotel are pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for. The spa is amazing too, with a gorgeous pool and sauna and its just so relaxing. I would really recommend this hotel for a special break away.

This hotel is nearly flawless. The rooms are beautiful, the lobby is grand, the location is perfect. The spa is pristine but expensive. I had a standard room with a limited view - overlooked a garden courtyard - and it was probably one of the nicest hotel rooms I've ever experienced. I can only imagine that the upgraded rooms are incredible. I dream of returning, maybe during the winter holidays, when the place is decked out in lights and decorations. Just wonderful in every way.

My daughter and I stayed at the Adlon for five days. It was her first trip to Europe and my first time in Berlin. The Hotel Adlon managed to exceed our already high expectations for its beauty and refinement, distinguished history, and gracious ambiance. The hotel was destroyed in world war II, but was rebuilt to replicate the early 1900's original, which was phenomenal in its time. there is a sense of history about the place and many photos and mementos of famous guests from throughout the many earlier decades. there is also a wonderful documentary about the adlon family and the hotel which can be viewed on television. this is in welcome contrast to much of central Berlin, which is filled with not very attractive modern buildings and new construction. the location is outstanding on the Unter der Linden, near the Brandenberg Gate and in the heart of a vibrant area with museums, cafes and historic buildings. The service was flawless, subtle and genuine at all levels. The rooms were very comfortable and well stocked. The hotel is spotless and evokes a bygone era, which is what we were seeking. i loved sitting in the elegant lobby bar, with its elaborate fountain and stained glass dome, reading and people watching, while listening to the live piano music drifting down from above on the bel etage, anytime between 3 p.m. and 1 a.m. daily. most guests appeared to be german, although there was a celebrity invasion on one day when matt damon and his entourage held a press event for his new movie. the food in the restaurants was excellent and they were able to accommodate us as vegetarians. we will never forget this special time and i am sure we will return to the adlon.

We staid for a weekend in the Adlon, great location, but service and stay were not up to 5 Star standards.
Our room was nice and new, although in the new part of the hotel, ie long walk from reception. There was also building work going on as they are building a new Spa, which means that we could not stay/sleep in our room in the afternoon of our arrival.
Service in the lobby was patchy, at breakfast just terrible, the amount of times we had to order, re-order items was just a joke and other guests around us had the same experience.
The "highlight" of the trip was a "wake-up" call from the builders the next morning when work started at 7:30 (Saturday). We complained and the work stopped straight away, but we were awake nonetheless.
In summary, make sure you are not close to the work, we would not go back. Seems to play too much on the old history card without delivering the service.
