As a Michelin Key Selected property, it is recognized for its quality and innovative design. Reviews often highlight it as a preferred choice for return visits to Berlin.
2. Key Highlights
Guests frequently praise the hotel's inviting seasonal rooftop bar, which is a destination in itself, offering sweeping city views and often cited as a top spot for sundowners in Berlin. The central location is another major draw, providing easy access to sights, nightlife, and public transportation. The modern and chic decor, along with reliable free Wi-Fi, are also consistently appreciated.
3. Room Quality
The rooms at AMANO Berlin are described as modern, comfortable, and clean, featuring shining parquet floors, bright whites, and sophisticated charcoal tones in their design. Standard rooms, while sometimes noted as small, are well-equipped with necessities like a Nespresso machine, mini-bar, and fridge. Larger apartment-style rooms are also available, offering living space, kitchenettes, and even washing machines, with some including small private balconies. Generally, the guest rooms prioritize function over excessive ornamentation, focusing on clean lines, well-made furnishings, and luxurious linens.
4. Dining Experience
While AMANO Berlin itself doesn't feature a full-service restaurant for all meals, it offers a well-reviewed hot and cold breakfast buffet available for a fee in its garden breakfast area. The popular AMANO Bar and a quieter lobby bar are also on-site, with the main bar being a significant highlight for its outstanding drinks selection and vibrant atmosphere. The hotel group's other properties, like AMANO Grand Central, boast an Italian restaurant (Gambino's) with a praised breakfast buffet and Sunday brunch.
5. Service & Staff
The staff at AMANO Berlin are consistently described as lovely, helpful, friendly, and professional. Many guests have reported a welcoming experience, with staff being keen to assist and provide local tips. However, there have been isolated reports of less helpful service regarding specific requests like room service (which the hotel typically does not offer) and replenishment of amenities such as shampoo.
6. Location & Accessibility
AMANO Berlin is superbly located in the central Mitte district at Auguststraße 43, near popular areas like Rosenthaler Platz, Torstraße, and Hackescher Markt. It's within walking distance to several restaurants, bars, and major attractions such as Alexanderplatz and Museum Island. Public transportation is easily accessible, making it convenient for exploring the wider city.
7. Value & Pricing
AMANO Berlin is generally considered to offer good value for its central location and the quality of its amenities and design. While specific average prices for AMANO Berlin vary, the AMANO Grand Central, a sister property, has an average price of around $143 per room, which is often considered exceptional value compared to Berlin's average room price. Breakfast is an optional extra, typically costing around EUR 19 for adults.
8. Common Complaints
Recurring criticisms are few but include the size of standard rooms, which some guests find to be small. Noise from the lively hotel bar or the street, particularly on weekend nights, has been mentioned as a potential disturbance even on higher floors. Some guests have experienced issues with self-check-in when requiring assistance, and occasional inconsistencies in the daily replenishment of coffee capsules or milk have been noted. A specific review highlighted a "disco night" and loud patrons outside, alongside a lack of room service and basic toiletries like shampoo.
