Bötzow Vacations from ￥223,573

the Birgit is located in what was East Berlin, which means that the building and those around it haven't been bulldozed and rebuilt after the Wall fell. Also, there are nearby tram lines. It is in the Mitte area, north of the Spree River, so within tram, walk, or Uber reach of the river, the museum island. Across the street is a elementary school, and the noise of kids playing is a nice touch. As expected, the room is quite small, but there is a balcony, and there is working a/c unit in the room. No room safes but the staff was kind enough to store passports etc in their secure area. The breakfast is sufficient, there is a nice garden area, as well as wicker chairs in front. The hotel is eclectic (and Rick Steves recommendation). We're glad we took his advice. Also, the small sitting area serves as a bar, if so inclined. Excellent Asian food 50 meters away. Hokey Pokey ice cream nearby, as is the oldest beer garden in Berlin. What's not to like?

I enjoyed the stay and the hospitality. Very smooth, but would have loved a better room service.

Poor choice of food on the evening menu

Such a perfect place to visit Berlin. We booked 3 rooms for our family. All of the rooms had great beds, hot showers and cold A/C. Quiet rooms. I loved the pool!!! swam every morning and sat in sauna. We had a large van that we paid 18 euro/day behind hotel.

Very quiet, comfortable, beautifully appointed rooms. Excellent air conditioning. Fantastic location for exploring Berlin. The food at Vox is superb.
