History comes to life
Just back from a five day trip to Berlin staying at Novum Gates Hotel. We flew into Tiegel Airport from Manchester and the journey from airport was really quick and easy. Board the X9 bus outside terminal building B and for this hotel get off at Ernst Reuter Platz, you know when you are there as the audio on bus tells you, and the hotel is just a few hundred yards away. Hotel is sited about ten minutes walk from Zooglischer Garten railway station so this enables you to move around the city with ease. There is also a subway station around the corner from the hotel, Ernst Reuter Platz which is the U2 line and day tickets on here allow you to use all public transport although you need to check the zones and be sure to validate the ticket on platform before the first journey. The hotel is good value for money and we had room 027 in the block D which overlooked the courtyard. The hotel is a strange layout with a square shape around a central courtyard. Be aware that that is a city tax to pay upon arrival although this only came to 12 euros for our stay. Room was huge and very clean. Bathroom was great with amazing shower and again really clean and modern. On the downside for the room, there is only news channel available in English amongst over 40 channels so this is a bit of a let down when you get back from a day out. Bed was very comfortable however would benefit from having more than 1 pillow each and definitely needs proper double duvet not 2 single ones on a double bed as the rooms can get a little chilly at night. Breakfast was really good, staff very polite and served you a thermal jug of coffee to your table whilst you help yourself to juice, fruit, yoghurt and cereals with a wide choice. There was plenty of cold meat, cheese and salad if that is your thing for breakfast, but also warm option of scrambled eggs and sausages each day too. The usual array of breads and croissants accompany the rest and there is plenty to ensure you can fuel up for the day. Times served are from 6:30 to 10:30, great for days you want a lie in and also for early flights home. We would recommend buying a 2 day bus tour ticket from the tour buses which are easy to spot and depart from the bus station at the zoo. We used the first day to stay on the bus, a 2 hour round trip and then decided on the places to visit next day. I would recommend a visit intothe Reichstag although you will need to boom this advance, it was simple to do before we left UK and you will need to take passport on the day but the history and the view are worth the effort. My final recommendation would be the huge department store Ka Da We, the sixth floor has a food floor with bars cafes and aces to eat, I have to say the burger there was amazing and would recommend to all. Visit Berlin with an open mind and experience the history and people and I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised.
Good location
Great, simple hotel situated in West Berlin. Great local bars & restaurants and just a 15 minute ride into Berlin. Good value! Breakfast available at extra cost if you want it. Rooms basic but clean, TV, hairdryer and good shower!
Quality location and comfortable stay... but it has its shortcomings.
I am a single traveler in his early 30s who visited Berlin from the United States. I travel both overseas and domestic often and stay in 15-20 hotels a year on average. I recently visited Berlin for the first time and stayed several nights at the Novum Hotel Gates Berlin Charlottenburg. The hotel is conveniently located near a handful of train and bus stations, with Ernst-Reuter-Platz being just a stones throw from the hotel itself. If you are flying in from Berlin-Tegel and staying at this particular hotel, Ernst-Reuter-Platz is where you will want to get dropped off. Zoologischer Garten Station is also a short 12 minute walk in the opposite direction, situated between several bustling shopping areas, eateries, fast food establishments and groceries. It's an invaluable hub for any traveler arriving in Berlin. The exterior and interior of the hotel are well kept, albeit showing signs of age and wear. Ample seating in the lobby is available, as well as rooms designated for your bags in case you want to explore the city while awaiting check-in. A spacious courtyard separates the restaurant and lobby areas from the rooms themselves. Unfortunately, since my visit took place during the winter months, it was a bit too chilly to take full advantage of courtyard seating. If the hotel is open to suggestions, an outside heat lamp could be a worthwhile purchase for this time of year. Aside from the occasional smoker, I didn't really see anybody braving the cold to spend time out there. Employees are cordial and professional. They took my attempts at German in stride and communicated primarily in English, which helped expedite the check-in process. Although I had a largely comfortable and hassle-free stay with Novum Hotel Gates Berlin Charlottenburg, the hotel is certainly not without its flaws. - Wifi can be spotty at times, which requires occasional logging off and logging back in. A small inconvenience, certainly, but an inconvenience just the same. A note for any business travelers who find reliable internet to be a necessity. - I was sandwiched between two occupied rooms during the entire length of my stay, despite the fact that our floor was largely deserted. While I am sympathetic to the practical purposes of doing this, as it is likely done for the convenience of cleaning staff, it can create problems. If you're a single traveler stuck between rooms occupied by families with children or rowdy groups coming in late from the bars, you're at the mercy of their usual crying, loud noises, stomping, slammed doors and the like. Again, I understand why hotels put occupied rooms within close vicinity... but is it too much to simply keep a one room buffer between occupied rooms? If you're a light sleeper who is staying here, you may need to invest in some ear plugs. - As outlined above, noise from other travelers can be a common hindrance to your peace and quiet. Paper thin walls (at least in some of the rooms) can make hearing the nuances of other peoples conversations a regularity. It got to the point where I felt uncomfortable making personal phone calls in my own room because I knew other people could probably hear what I was saying. - Again, if you're a light sleeper, noise from the cleaning staff rolling carts through the courtyard early in the morning can be a disruption. I was traveling from the United States and, as a result, already contending with the effects of jet lag. Being jostled awake by the loud sound of carts rolling around on concrete each and every morning is... jarring, to say the least. I know these are things hotels can't completely control, but between this and the noise from other rooms, sleep was an extremely tough thing to come by. All told, Novum Hotel Gates Berlin Charlottenburg is a clean, safe and affordable option when you're visiting Berlin. I purchased my hotel as part of a package deal along with the flight, so I can't really attest to the overall "value for price" aspect of the hotel. You can feel good about having your family stay here without worrying about anything... although if you're a light sleeper, you should likely request a room away from everybody else.
Good location
Very large room - very quiet - good breakfast. Helpful staff. Ideally located to get to all attractions. Don't both buying a Tour bus ticket as you can get a ticket 7 Euros for all day on ALL transport. Had no difficulty in getting to see everything on our list. Best was The Reichstag Building but make sure you book your time for your visit on line before you go otherwise you won't get in.
