Hotel Rossi

Clean, easy, comfy, modern, not too much traffic near hotel, wifi signal good ..... nice buffet breakfast. Simple, characterless, nothing interesting in immediate neighbourhood. This hotel is now on my list of 'OK to stay in hotels' for central Berlin. What's unusual ? 1. It's a little farther from a transport link than some of the competition (with nothing interesting along the way) - but Hbf is where almost all train journeys into Berlin stop so maybe that makes up for it. 2. There's an 'honesty bar' on the top floor - you take what you want and pay later at reception. It's nice to be 'trusted' by a hotel (unusual, not unique). So no mini-bar/fridge in the rooms. 3. There are plenty of conference rooms available for hire. There are not many business meetings/conferences during the weekend so expect accommodation room rates to be lower at the weekend and higher during the week (Fri-Sat probably less busy than Sun-Mon). For me it's really down to price: If I'm after a mid-range hotel in Berlin this meets my criteria, on some dates (like when there'a large business group booking) Rossi comes out more expensive than other similar hotels, on others it's less expensive. If you want to hold a mini-conference the modern meeting rooms here look OK for up to a dozen or so (perhaps a little more) - obviously you'll check available meeting room sizes and hire rates with the hotel.

The hotel is reasonably comfortable and quite convenient for the Central railway station. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very good. The room was basic but OK for the price and I would certainly consider staying again.

Quiet location but very close to Berlin Train station. Staff are so lovely, breakfast is perfect, plenty of choice and would highly recommend. Rooms small as to be expected but we only slept there and such a comfy night sleep. We would definitely stay again.
