What a fabulous hotel. From the moment we checked in asking a hundred questions about where to eat, times of the spa opening etc, the staff were so patient and accommodating.
We were on the fifth floor and had an amazing view out onto the city. I'm an early rise - and watched the sun rise several mornings. It was so peaceful - even though the bustle was starting below us.
The breakfasts were awesome - and there was something for everyone from fruit, fresh breads, meats and so much more. We were greeted by the same friendly waiter each morning.
We ate at the main restaurant one night - it's not cheap but my goodness is it worth it. The entrance alone is to be experienced. Once again, we had an exceptionally attentive waiter and the presentation of the food, plus the quality was exceptional.
On the last day we made time for the spa and the swimming pool, something I'd wanted to do since we got there. We also paid the extra 15 euros to use the saunas and steam rooms and had that entire area to ourselves. The pool was clean and warm and surrounded by mosaics on the walls.
Nearby to the hotel is a small shopping centre, that's quite eco-friendly and looks over the zoo. If you get the chance - go to the Dawn for lunch - you won't regret it!
Hotel Palace Berlin is a true gem - if you are going to Berlin it is well worth staying here!
