Leonardo Hotel Berlin Mitte

The first, and possibly most important, impression is that the room is not geared up for anyone staying for more than a couple of nights; wardrobe space was very limited as was any storage of clothing space.Our first task was to be creative in sorting out how to hang and store clothing. The thermostat had no instructions and, I believe, was broken; even helpful staff seemed to have problems with it, and lighting could be much improved. There was wasted space in the room where an extra table could have been put in (which would have been very useful). The key word here is minimalist. The tv has no entertainment channels in English which is a genuine shame. One of the lifts was out of order for the full eight days we were there and there were often queues for the two that were operational. Booking late checkout online appears to be pointless since one has to do it at the hotel (though nobody explained this to us until the next-to-last day). Food was excellent with a wide choice but breakfast could have been improved if tables were cleared and laid more efficiently on busy days. The Hotel is in a very convenient spot by the Spree, near Friedrichstrasse Station, Museum Island, and many really good food outlets and restaurants. We felt this was a major plus and overcame the few issues we had come across. We would stay here again having found ways of overcoming any problems we did come across (a good number of which seem to be ones we've come across in most Leonardo Hotels).

I really liked the central location combined with the quiet room. Everything was clean and friendly. Rooms are not big, but have an intelligent layout. The reception staff could be a bit more considerate - I asked if I could charge my phone but they did not have an iphone loader cable; also, nobody pointed out that there is a fitness room and sauna in the hotel. I also did not find that information on the local TV information. The lobby is quite nice. The breakfast room would benefit from some green plants to make it more friendly. Definitely would recommend this hotel!

You can choose you need housekeeping everyday or not via iPad in the room. It would be nice if I could change options or choose different choices, say, every other day or every three days and so on. I’m satisfied with overall stays, besides that.
