0,"This hotel was very modern and sleek.",X
1,"Beautiful, well-laid out, albeiit small rooms.",X
2,"Fantastic breakfast with an incredible selection of meats, cheeses, yogurts, breads etc. And, as a non-German speaker,",X
3,"the staff were uber-helpful.",X
4,"Great location in front of a u-bahn stop.",X
5,"Our first trip to Berlin, so we were unfamiliar with the city layout.",X
6,"But we were drawn to the design of the Art'otel.",X
7,"Yes, the public spaces are nicely designed,",X
8,"as are the rooms.",X
9,"But the rooms are small and not very functional.",X
10,"And the location is definitely out of the way (although there is an U-bahn station just a half block away).",X
11,"And we were really put off by the tourist buses and groups.",X
12,"Not really our scene.",X
13,"If you do end up here, be sure to specify a room at the back of the hotel.",X
14,"The ones on the front are very noisy.",X
15,"Directly across the street from an informal bus terminus the hotel is also very convenient for the U-Bahn into town and some points in the East on foot, but quite a walk away from the heart of things.",X
16,"The staff was friendly and tried to be accomodating, but couldn't give me a non-smoking room for the first night, nor an internal room,",X
17,"and I was woken by the early morning firing up of the local bus service (a courtyard-facing room is essential unless you have industrial strength earplugs.)The rooms are small and ill-conceived.",X
18,"Too much attention on 'fabulousness' throughout the hotel (the public spaces are sleek and unwelcoming) and not enough on basic guest comfort.",X
19,"Having previously enjoyed a great week's stay at the sister art'otel in Berlin (the Warhol-themed City Centre West), we decided to book a 4-night stay at this hotel so we could visit more of the sights on the eastern side of the city.",X
20,"The difference was stark.",X
21,"This hotel is located in a very quiet district - barely a passing car on a weekday, completely dead at the weekendand with no local facilities.",X
22,"The one bar round the corner had one old pensioner propping the bar up on a Friday evening.",X
23,"The hotel itself is already showing signs of age.",X
24,"The fixtures and fittings in the room were tired and worn; edges of shelves worn away, carpets badly stained, window blinds torn and damaged.",X
25,"The room was very much smaller than in the sister hotel,",X
26,"though the bed was amply sized as in all German hotels.",X
27,"Only one almost useless pillow per person though (think no thicker than a cracker) and no availability of additional bed linen as most other hotels would normally provide.",X
28,"The room was effectively air conditioned (i.e. you could control temperature and speed yourself)",X
29,"and this is essential as the hotel's proximity to a very still tributary to the Spree means that the area is plagued by large, voracious mosquitoes.",X
30,"Leaving your bedroom window open is not an option as my heavily bitten body will testify!",X
31,"During my stay I needed to use the internet in order to check-in for our return flight.",X
32,"The cost of using the solitary PC in the lobby was extortionate.",X
33,"Given the low cost of internet access and PC hardware, all decent hotels now offer such 'business centre' services for free - here,",X
34,"it was a credit card driven system charging 1Euro for 3 minutes online time and extra for every printed page.",X
35,"As a general tip, if you need to use the internet whilst in Berlin, look up the Easy Internet cafes before you go, there's a huge one in Kurfurstendam",X
36,"and at least one more I saw elsewhere - there access costs 1 Euro for an hour!",X
37,"Overall, the stay at Berlin Mitte was not what I expected from a hotel chain which calls its most basic room 'Superior'.",X
38,"It needs to decide whether it wants to be 'designer' or just a smart hostel.",X
39,"For UK travellers, the room was the same size",X
40,"and in the same condition as you'd find in a Travelodge.",X
41,"If you expect no more than that, you won't be disappointed.",X
42,"Also, if you're the kind of person who likes to step out of their hotel and straight into the action,",X
43,"this won't ring your bell as all destinations will require at least a half hour walk or public transport journey.",X
44,"Rooms nices, Staff helpful.",X
45,"Beds firm, pillows very soft.",X
46,"No shampoo provided in the room, Shower Gel dispensers don't work well.",X
47,"Breakfast expensive, supermarket not far, Good value Internet cafe nearby.",X
48,"Close to museum island and U-ban just outside hotel.",X
49,"Our perfect hotel is one that offers a central location to the attractions we want to see - with spacious, comfortable rooms and good service.",X
50,"art'otel, Mitte in Berlin definitely fulfilled these requirements.",X
51,"Our room (superior double) was very spacious and extremely comfortable - with a bath for relaxing those tired walking muscles.",X
52,"The onsite restuarant was also excellent - supported by good advice on local eating establishments when we wanted to venture out.",X
53,"The Hotel is less than 1/2 block from the closest U Bhan station - but is situated in a quiet street.",X
54,"Walking time to many sights (Unter den Linden, Gendarmenmakt, Deutches Museum, Checkpoint Charlie, Nikolaivertel etc. was less than 15 minutes - while virtually everything else was easily accessible by U-Bahn, starting almost next door.",X
55,"Spent 3 nights recently at the Artotel Berlin Mitte.",X
56,"It was supposed to be a designer hotel,",X
57,"I have searched for the design,",X
58,"but I haven't found any kind of design in the rooms.",X
59,"May be the restaurant have something,",X
60,"but the rooms are poorly decorated, with common furniture.",X
61,"The bed was not very comfortable.",X
62,"In the bathroom there is only liquid soap with two small towels.",X
63,"Do not expect any kind of luxury at Artotel Berlin Mitte,",X
64,"it is only a basic hotel, but with a convenient location (50 meters from the metro, 2 metro stations from Alexander platz).",X
65,"The breakfast was good and the staff friendly.",X
66,"We stayed at The Regent in August for two days to celebrate my birthday.",X
67,"Location.... perfect; staff.... warm, welcoming and professional; room... perfectly appointed; food... sublime.",X
68,"Certainly one of... if not THE best hotels ever!",X
69,"The hotel is ideally located.",X
70,"If you're a walker, you are close to many attractions.",X
71,"Room was big, bath was lovely, but watch out for the tile floor after you shower.",X
72,"No curtains, and water pours off you onto the tile floor which has a drain.",X
73,"Put your towel on the wet floor or you will definitely slip.",X
74,"Desk staff needs to go to a Waldorf class on manners.",X
75,"Very cold reception, couldn't answer a few simple questions for directions to a few of the sights or an ATM.",X
76,"Room was nice but does need to be vacuumed more frequently than ours was..",X
77,"Pretzels and cookies under the bed.",X
78,"Chair upholstery needs to be cleaned.",X
79,"We turned the cushions over.",X
80,"What a difference..",X
81,"Don't eat breakfast in the restaurant, too costly.",X
82,"Walk 2 to 3 blocks away and get a muffin, coffee, or egg sandwich for about 6 Euros..",X
83,"Liked the room, and the location, but didn't care for the staff of the hotel.",X
84,"Look around the same area for another hotel.",X
85,"Think you can do better.",X
86,"We stayed in the Westin Grand Berlin in July 2007.",X
87,"In spite of the fact that the reservation we made through the Starwood Hotels website said our rooms would have Westin's renowned Heavenly Beds, we found that only a few suites actually have the beds.",X
88,"The beds we were subjected to were firm to the point of being like sleeping on a sidewalk.",X
89,"Had we not been told in advance how wonderful our stay would be because of the Heavenly Beds,",X
90,"we might not have been as unpleasantly surprised.",X
91,"The beds and fitness center made it definitely not like a usual Westin stay.",X
92,"The pool was lovely",X
93,"but the work-out room was small, dimly-lit, and hot.",X
94,"There were only two treadmills (one of which was broken), a Lifecycle bike, and four computerized weight machines.",X
95,"There was also one ratty, old floor mat.",X
96,"Almost everything in Germany had English translations, but not the machines there.",X
97,"With the highest breakfast prices we've ever seen, it would have been nice to have in-room beverage stations/coffee makers like one usually finds in Westins.",X
98,"There's a fantastic deli across the street where we purchased breakfast for four for half the price of a single continental breakfast at the hotel.",X
99,"The hotel had two positives: the concierge service and the location.",X
100,"The room price was actually pretty reasonable.",X
101,"This is an upscale business hotel, not a luxury hotel.",X
102,"The location is great,",X
103,"breakfast was excellent and the beds are fabulous",X
104,"but it lacks character and charm.",X
105,"There was no luggage rack",X
106,"although a call to housekeeping solved this problem.",X
107,"There was only 1 chair",X
108,"and the room was small.",X
109,"This was the last place we stayed after 2 weeks in Germany",X
110,"and it was disappointing to end our trip in a place that was so sterile and impersonal.",X
111,"The Hotel staff were attentive,",X
112,"and I enjoyed the location (near Brandenburg, Museum Island, etc), but I wasn't blown away.",X
113,"I stayed in one of the renovated rooms,",X
114,"and the room itself was quite comfortable--but very small.",X
115,"My main impression was that the place seemed rather empty, even though I was there during one of the busiest weeks for Berlin tourism (ITB).",X
116,"If you want a quiet Hotel near tourist sites, this is for you.",X
117,"If you're looking for that famous Berlin nightlife, look elsewhere.",X
118,"We stayed at The Westin Grand Hotel",X
119,"and it was just fine.",X
120,"We had a great time in Berlin",X
121,"and the hotel served its purpose.",X
122,"However, it was not spectacular for a few reasons.",X
123,"1. At first we got an unrenovated room.",X
124,"This was not too miserable",X
125,"but we asked to be upgraded in rooms after my back started hurting from the bed.",X
126,"I was under the impression that ALL beds were the so called Heavenly bed",X
127,"and boy were we wrong!",X
128,"The funny thing is,",X
129,"my husband is usually the one with the back pain!",X
130,"When we changed to a renovated room were were delighted with the bathroom",X
131,"but still stumped at exactly what was so heavenly about the bed.",X
132,"It was hard and REALLY uncomfortable.",X
133,"(We were making jokes about it being left over from the Communist era.",X
134,"Tee hee hee)2. Terrible smell of sewers down the corridors of hotel although, thankfully not in our room.",X
135,"3. The main conceirge did not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.",X
136,"He seemed harried and annoyed at me asking too many questions.",X
137,"He recommended the restaurant Stamhouse which is part of the hotel.",X
138,"It was a sportsbar type place",X
139,"and the food was really not good.",X
140,"The main staff of the hotel were all very nice",X
141,"and they had a bunch of baby supplies for us that were helpful.",X
142,"Not a bad choice, but I wonder if we could have done a bit better...",X
143,"The location is absolutely ideal for a tourist trip to Berlin.",X
144,"So much is within walking distance,",X
145,"and that which is not is easily reached by transit.",X
146,"There are restaurants nearby, and plently of shopping.",X
147,"The hotel is a great building.",X
148,"We too, noticed the sound of the piano player in the evening, but this isn't the worst sound to have wafting into your room!",X
149,"Although I would think they could stop it a little earlier in the evening.",X
150,"Our room was very nicly furnished and clean with a large bathroom.",X
151,"Our rate inclued and extensive buffet breakfast - VERY nice, with an omlette bar and wide variety of hot and cold foods.",X

154,"Stayed at the hotel over Easter 2005.",X
155,"This hotel is in two parts the new and the old.",X

160,"We had booked a double bed.",X
161,"We were moved to a slightly better double room (two beds purshed together) but still in the old part of the hotel.",X
162,"The rooms in the old part are described as Classic.",X
163,"Avoid these rooms - it is very clear why they do not have a photograph of them on their web site.",X
164,"The rooms are shabby,",X
165,"the air conditioing did not work (left the balcony door wide open all night in March!), soft furnishings grubby, smelt unpleasant, the toilet broke (still not offered a change of room).",X

179,"we were there with family",X

182,"and we all checked in together and paid the same price!",X
183,"Had been warned of a noiseless facelift but was unprepared to battle my way through a foyer of painters",X

185,"Really not worth the money for such a top class hotel.",X

218,"If you have the chance, go for the brand new Radisson, Hyatt, Marriott or Adlon.",X
238,"If you get a great rate per night, like I did using a voucher system, is OK, but otherwise stay elsewhere.",X
240,"If you get a deluxe room (yes, you are right: deluxe room) you will hate this hotel.",X
247,"Dont go for the pictures on the starwood internet site.",X
260,"My take on it is that the sewer system put in by the GDR needs to be replaced.",X
261,"Bottom line: pick another hotel, the Starwood Group has a white elephant on their hands with this smelly grand hotel.",X
284,"and at ____13 overpriced as was the bottle of water strategically placed in the room at ____4.50. All in all I have no real complaints about the hotel and would have no problems in recommending it.",X
285,"If you are lucky enough to be awarded the hotel through priceline it really is a fantastic bargain.",X
316,"so I really highly recommend.",X
319,"but never before have I been offered a dirty, smelly room and then upcharged for a renovated(i.e. clean) room.",X
320,"So keep this in mind if you choose to stay here: if, as you look for your room,",X
364,"Hilton - stay on executive floor (great lounge) get a room overlooking the Gendarmenmarkt (beautiful day and night).",X

387,"We were asked to have one night in the Intercontinental and come back to the Hilton for the remainder of our stay.",X

393,"Breakfast choice was great,",X
394,"only slight criticism was the room where you have breakfast,",X
395,"sort of reminded me of a works canteen but that aside,",X
396,"choices were good and plenty of food available.",X
397,"Overall, you could do a lot worse than to go to the Berlin Hilton as the location is absolutely spot on for the underground,",X
398,"shopping and sightseeing and of course at this time of year there are a few Christmas markets within walking distance.",X
399,"All in all, we had a great time.",X
400,"We found it worn and noisy.",X

420,"The hotel restaurants looked nice,",X
421,"but we did not try them.",X
422,"Probably my main criticism with the hotel is it's size - the hotel is very big and somewhat impersonal.",X
423,"Checking out at 10.55 on Sunday was not a good plan, as all six queues for reception were enormous - this could of course have been avoided by getting up earlier or doing express check out.",X

455,"A cigar bar off the lobby worried us until we discovered it did not offend our non-smoking sensibilities.",X
456,"The bathroom here was spacious, but a disabled person (me) would have trouble with the very deep tall tub.",X
457,"Another comfortable chair in the room, there's one, would be a plus We only ate one breakfast here because we slept in, but its a bit expensive.",X
458,"A croissant and coffee around the corner was convenient and good at half the price.",X

468,"The staff is very friendly and efficient.",X
469,"The only real downside of this hotel is its bar: It is a cigar bar",X
470,"and there are always some people inside smoking cuban cigars which makes the air inside unbearable.",X
471,"Sometimes, the smoke is drifting through the lobby and makes the whole place very unpleasant.",X
472,"There is no non-smoking section in the bar and quite frankly, if you are not a smoker yourself,",X

483,"It was not too heavy in my room since I aksed for non-smoking one.",X

532,"and I have to report that we were very satisfied with the Palace.",X
533,"It is 5 minutes walk wheeling our bag from Zoo Station, where we came into Berlin from Schoenfeld Airport.",X
534,"The hotel is modern, clean (very) business hotel,",X
535,"but there were some tourists like us as well.",X
536,"Lobby large, sometimes a bit of music, comfortable.",X
537,"Staff are very helpful, attentive, smiling and say hello to you in the morning.",X
538,"Bedroom- we had taken a slight upgrade room on the 5th Floor was spacious, well equipped.",X

540,"So clean and fresh everywhere.",X
541,"They were redecorated in May 05 - so carpets etc. all virtually new.",X
542,"Very nice.",X
543,"Tried the spa- which has everything .",X
544,"Only comment I would make - apart from it being all one would expect, is that I nearly slipped twice on the tile floors around the pool",X
545,"and sauna area- they are dangerous.",X
546,"I was however given some hotel slippers and a robe (after I asked, not on entry).",X
547,"You must use these or risk breaking your leg.",X
548,"Cost was on an excellent deal only EU.",X
549,"605 for four nights.",X
550,"Which for this hotel was very good value.",X
551,"YOu do have to shop around on the newt to get best deal.",X

553,"Travel for some distance in Berlin is unavoidable since it is so spread out,",X
554,"that it hardly matters where you stay in the city-",X

557,"We travelled back to london on a Saturday evening.",X

559,"We arrived at the car part (mid term 5 mins from Terminal) at 12 midnight.",X

562,"Easyjet probably blame groundstaff.",X
563,"Groundstaff couldn't care less.",X
564,"Its Easy's responsibility.",X
565,"Definitely avoid travelling by Easyjet at weekend late evenings!",X
566,"I doubt they have the capacity at that time to run a bath, never mind an airline -with hundreds of passengers wanting to go home and not wanting to wait as long as the flight time from berlin to get to the car park.",X
567,"Angry -yes.",X
568,"But otherwise it was a very interesting four days. Distances in Berlin are vast",X
569,"and the underground or bus often drop you about a half a mile or more from your target destination.",X
570,"Worth a taxi sometimes...",X
571,"One more thing- if you want to visit the Bundestag it is a good idea to book a tour (in english) in advance.",X

587,"The hotel phone system was down for three days. Staff was rude.",X
588,"The front desk tried to charge me an extra day that I had cancelled upon check-in - this was a 30 minute hassle.",X

600,"I had a nasty fall when the shower suddenly became very hot.",X
601,"I would not recommend this hotel.",X
602,"One of the reasons why there appears to be a difference of opinion regarding the star rating for this hotel is possibly because the hotel is made up of two distinct blocks.",X
603,"Half of Palace Hotel has been renovated recently and consists of contemporary landings and bedrooms/suites.",X
604,"The other block (directly above the main entrance) is still trapped in the 1970's time warp that's been mentioned by previous contributors.",X
605,"Unfortunately I ended up in the latter half!",X
606,"Whilst the room was indeed large, clean and functional it lacked the finishing touches that one expects from 5-star accommodation.",X
607,"The service at the hotel was reasonable,",X
608,"though I did find the concierge to be particularly unhelpful.",X
609,"However one of the redeeming features of the Palace Hotel is its location.",X
610,"The hotel can be reached from Tegel Airport by catching the X9 or slower 109 bus and getting off at the last stop (Zoologischer S+U Bahn).",X
611,"Close to the hotel are the 100",X
612,"and 200 bus routes which pass all the major tourist sites - a far better option than taking a tourist bus.",X
613,"The hotel is situated in the only area of the city that has not seen major redevelopment in the past 20 years.",X
614,"However it is in close proximity to the major shopping street (Ku_��_damm) and other tourist attractions (e.g. the Zoo, Aquarium, Kaiser Wilhelm Church, the Ka-De-We Dept Store).",X
615,"If you are going to be making use of the fantastic public transport across Berlin, then this hotel is an ideal (though slightly expensive) base from which to explore this amazing city.",X
616,"The Restaurants in the hotel are okay, though if not eating in the hotel I would advise you to look further a field as the restaurants/caf�__�_��_s close by are not particularly good.",X
617,"The exception is the 7th floor restaurant at the Ka-De-We.",X
618,"The health facilities in the hotel are good,",X
619,"though the swimming pool was a bit short for my liking.",X
620,"However the staff is helpful and provide you with towels, dressing gown and sandals (to avoid you slipping on the floor).",X
621,"The spa facilities are also nice but cost an extra ____7 per day.",X
622,"For those looking for things to do whilst in Berlin, I would highly recommend the walking tours offered by Original Berlin Walks (Discover Berlin) and Sandemans New Berlin (Red Berlin Tour and the Free Tour).",X
623,"The Reichstag Dome, TV Tower at Alexanderplatz, and Pergamon Museum are all worth a visit.",X
624,"The Intercontinental in Berlin was highly disappointing to my fiance",X
625,"and I. I was excited when we first checked in because the lobby is very grand and fairly well appointed.",X
626,"The staff seemed nice enough and helpful.",X
627,"The true disappointed came when we checked into the room.",X
628,"The rooms are very TIRED.",X
629,"The carpet from the 1970's has blue bows on it and looks like something from your grandmother's house.",X
630,"The TV was very small and not at all modern,",X
631,"and all of it felt very outdated.",X
632,"The worst part though was the temperature.",X
633,"The room was VERY warm all night long (and this was in a cold night in November).",X
634,"We got up in the middle of the night to crank up the AC and open the window, but the temperature didn't change.",X
635,"Only when we called the front desk in the morning did they instruct us to remove the wood paneling below the sink in the bathroom (which revealed all of the pipes, etc.) and manually turn down the radiator (which was on 5 - the highest level!).",X
636,"I would not recommend staying here,",X
637,"it is not a good value at all,",X
638,"not is it a good experience.",X
639,"The room - on the executive floor - could have used a good dusting.",X
640,"The bathroom was only partly cleaned, especially the toilet wasn't. Even after telling housekeeping about the problems,",X
641,"so you have to take itThis is no 5-star hotel.",X
642,"But with their location and being one of the hotels in Berlin offering a great number of rooms, they think they simply don't have to work that hard.",X
643,"Very disappointing experience there!",X
644,"At $114 for each of three summer weeknights, I was really satisfied with the Intercontinental.",X
645,"I booked about a month in advance on their website.",X
646,"As stated in other reviews, the location is on the (slightly tourist) bus line 200 and a 5 minute walk to Ku'damm, and 10 minutes to the Zoo Garten Train station.",X
647,"Note, it was a 15-20 minute walk to a cheap internet cafe (open till eleven-thirty) attached to a dunkin donuts on Ku'damm.",X
648,"This was a decent vantage point and was obviously a safe and quiet neighborhood.",X
649,"Fast food restaurants are opposite the Gedaechtnis Kirche if you are absolutely desperare for cheap fare late at night.",X
650,"The rooms themselves are very modern, but almost frustratingly so.",X
651,"The bathroom door has a hole for a handle,",X
652,"and the toilet door is opaque.",X
653,"So, no real sense of firm privacy is established.",X
654,"The shower also had no curtain, but rather a limited glass door.",X
655,"So it was kind of easy to accidentally spill some water on the floor (not to mention slip and break your neck).",X
656,"Still the design was cool and memorable.",X
657,"The breakast buffet was too expensive for our liking,",X
658,"however, our guide book had a listing of six special places for breakfast in Berlin.",X
659,"What also bothered me was the fact there was a 3 euro surcharge for dialing a 800 number (so to use a phone card, you had to go to the Telefonzelle across the street.",X
660,"The pool was mid-seized but adequate and clean.",X
661,"The whirlpool was out of this world.",X

667,"I was quite pleased with this hotel.",X
668,"Like one of the other reviewers, I was also impressed that the room was ready when I arrived in the morning.",X
669,"They even left some sugar energy tablet things on the pillow to help get over jet lag.",X
670,"The price was very reasonable and included daily buffet breakfast and wireless internet access.",X
671,"The breakfast had something for everybody (European and American breakfast foods).",X

677,"you can go buy your own water and snacks.",X
678,"you might want to bring ear plugs to protect you from your neighbor's late-night television, discussions, etc. I stayed there for business and then a few days being a tourist.",X
679,"The only warning I have to offer is if you want to sleep past 8 AM, make sure you hang the do not disturb sign on your door.",X
680,"The uber-efficient cleaning staff will attempt multiple times to clean your room if you don't have the sign displayed.",X
681,"I may be too crititical,",X
682,"but I found this hotel quite bad.",X
683,"The rooms are kept clean , but since the hotel is quite old,",X
684,"it doesn't have a very clean look.",X
685,"Staff was not especially friendly,",X
686,"I have seen better.",X
687,"They were not unfriendly either,",X
688,"they just didn't seem to care much.",X
689,"Breakfast was tasteless.",X
690,"But the worst thing was the indoor noise.",X
691,"I had asked for a quiet room.",X
692,"From 8 o' clock on it was just a banging of doors and throwing things around in the hallway.",X
693,"Roomcleaning takes place in as loud a fashion as possible.",X
694,"And since the hotel needs renovation,",X
695,"it all seems to happen right next to you.",X
696,"Another thing is that the cleaning lady just walked into my room on the morning of my last day.",X
697,"She totally ignored the do-not-disturb sign",X
698,"and just walked in immediately after knocking.",X
699,"I was still in bed!",X
700,"That just topped it off.",X
701,"I was so relieved to leave this place.",X

706,"So, if you are not looking for service, unfriendly staff, basic facilities then I recommend you book this place!",X

708,"The hotel is very tired and is in desperate need of a refurb.",X
709,"When we booked the room the description on the website said it came with a separate seating area, despite raising the issue with reception we were basically told this was not so , I guess someone needs to amend the website.",X
710,"Berlin is a top city and highly recommended for New Year!",X
711,"Try out a trabi safari - it is great fun - especially in 3ft of snow in a car with no heating......................",X
712,"but the whole place is in serious need of a refurbishment.",X
713,"Beware of smoking areas for people having breakfast that are very close to non-smoking.",X
714,"If you do not expect any kind of service whatsoever then go ahead and book these hotels but be sure what you are getting as they also have a third old building across the street which is a little more convenient than having to drag luggage three long blocks",X
715,"if you're looking for a high end hotel i suggest you go somewhere else.",X
716,"Especially good for shopping on the Kurfustendamm...bring an extra bag!!",X
717,"I would not recommend the restaurant either the food in not good quality",X
718,"This hotel is badly in need of a manager who knows what is going on in the place.",X
719,"Negatives: Bed (if you are used to Sofitel beds from around there world don't stay here), bedding (old polyester), house keeping (on both morning the room was not properly cleaned and coffee and toiletry supplies were not replenished; the room was also not very clean with huge stains on the curtains), in room equipment (if you love 70s retro you will love the TV in the room).",X
720,"This hotel should not be allowed to call itself a Sofitel as the rooms are well below standard, the staff however are right up there.",X
721,"you really want a room at the back of the hotel rather than at the front.",X
722,"I do wish that the staff were more accomodating.",X
723,"If you prefer an outside room ask for one on an upper floor facing towards Berlin Catherdral only some 100 yards away.",X
724,"and they should send the staff on a training course in customer relations.",X
725,"Try and find a web deal (I booked via Hotel[-]): during Summer rooms can be booked for as low as 59 euro (and that includes breakfast).",X
726,"I would advise getting an inclusive deal or eating at one of the many local cafes which offered breakfast for a third of the price.",X
727,"I most warn everybody to avoid this hotel.",X
728,"I really advice the hotel",X
729,"but some of the staff behind reception need a few lessons in customer service (ie.",X

733,"If you are STILL temped to stay at this place: TAKE VERY GOOD EAR PLUGS.",X

735,"and in my oppinion a hostel would be better than wasting your money on a somewhat dodgy three stars.",X
736,"If you are a espresso lover, well this is for you.",X
737,"But given the price I would recommend this one unreservedly.",X
738,"The hotel should give a password out to guests that check-in or at least program a time-out to avoid this frustrating situation.",X
739,"for the standard they boast, you are better off staying in a lesser star establishment where you will get better service.",X
740,"at bar called vang gogh the owner play piano.....try the dada falafel at oranien str, and cafe einstein.",X

751,"If you're going to Seattle, look hard at spending a little extra for another hotel - and you'll probably even end up right in the center of downtown.",X
752,"The point is - don't advertise the service if there are caveats that go with it.",X
753,"Parking at $30 per day is an outrage but possibly standard for downtown (you can find street parking on the weekend to save a few dollars).",X

761,"This is not a hotel I can recommend for any type of group.",X
762,"If this is your preference, be advised that the balconies are barely wide enough to fit a human.",X

765,"Go somewhere with better service.",X
766,"It wasn't just us, so beware, if you book at the Warwick, you will eventually get a beautiful room hopefully, but may need to deal with some not-so-nice staff to get it.",X
767,"but we could never figure out how that worked (do some research before you go!!).",X
768,"but for a really great breakfast walk a block to the Mayflower Park Hotel (pricey but fabulous).",X
769,"I would recommend the Warwick to someone looking for a reasonable priced hotel,",X
770,"but don't expect too much.",X
771,"Beware, if you use the Grayline for transportation, allow plenty of time, as they ran up to an hour late.",X
772,"However, there is a good advantage to this hotel if you have a car.",X
773,"You can park your car yourself and save money doing without valet service.",X
774,"Parking was expensive and there was no elevator in the parkade so if you have any mobility problems you need to use the valet parking.",X
775,"Suggestions: Woodland Park Zoo (fantastic and worth the 10 minute bus drive out of downtown); Anthony's Pier 66 (excellent seafood restaurant on the waterfront) Enjoy your stay at the Moore!",X
776,"Rooms do not appear to have any functioning heating or built in fan/cooler/heaters which is a bit of a drawback depending on when you visit.",X
777,"Travellers considering staying at the mediocre Hostelling International Seattle should seriously consider staying at the Moore instead.",X

784,"there are two lots on either side of the hotel or try the Bon/Macy's parking lot for something a bit cheaper.",X
