Savoy Berlin

L'odeur de la pièce.

The room was cold in the nigth and no heaters available to warm the room.

Laid back ambiance and styling from different era

Has a smoking lounge on the ground floor, smell of smoke EVERYWHERE in building including in room. Lift was broken, leaving one small lift for 400 rooms and staff with trolleys, not great, takes 15 min to get to ground floor. Best part, rude staff that mistyped my credit card, then, when didn’t work, asked my husband why we were in Berlin anyway and if my employer could pay. All it took was a double checking of the card and Problem was solved. Gym: sorry but putting a treadmill and a bike in a cellar is NOT a gym, that’s false advertisement.

Breakfast was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful and the hotel is clean and well-presented (but see below). It is also very well placed for the centre of Berlin. However, see below.

The major issue for me is that the hotel stinks of impregnated cigarette smoke from the smoking bar next to reception. The consequence of the door being opened from the bar into reception is that the smell of cigarette smoke pervaded everything, even my room. I am asthmatic and suffered a nasty asthma attack in the night brought on by the presence of cigarette smoke throughout the hotel.
