Arcona Hotel am Havelufer

Good size room. Comfortable bed. Effective shower.

Efficient but not welcoming. Agressive rooks & many wasps prevented use of terrace at breakfast. Room doors required slamming with shoulder twice to open - every time. Wifi in room not good. Sockets by bed very low down. Difficult to use.

Centrally located. Next to the river.

Design outdated. Stuff uncommunicative. Breakfast crowd in front of our window makes sleep impossible after 7.30 in the morning - on a Sunday morning. Bicycles have to get parked “somewhere outside”.

Staff friendly and helpful. Can get train into/from central Berlin from nearby station hourly. Free parking.

Very expensive for a hotel in this poor state of repair and cleanliness. Very shabby and a bit dirty; cobwebs and dirty / worn paintwork on doors and walls etc. Not much choice for breakfast unless down before 8 am. Can be noisy, depending on room; ours above restaurant and outside drinking area. Some outside noisy events. Have a lasting impression that we were well overcharged for this 3 night stay.
