I needed to spend two nights in Berlin. I stayed there previously and was happy with the hotel. So i returned to the Hampton by Hilton City West and get one of their banana with slogans.

 

 

Check In

I was welcomed back, given two vouchers: one for a drink at the bar and one for a drink and a snack from the Snack bar. 

Checkin was quick and efficient and I was on my way to the fifth floor one minute after arriving.

 

Room

I booked a superior room with sofa, and I got that. There are not many categories in this hotel and little wiggle room for upgrade. 

The room are comparable to HGI hotels and spacious enough. The bathroom is large and I do like their walk in shower. The bed is comfortable, firm also. 

Despite the hotel being beside a train track, there is no noise as it is well  isolated.

Dining

There are no restaurants at the hotel, just the ability to get pizza at the bar. There is a snack bar with a couple of packaged sandwiches, chocolate bars and crisps. The lack of restaurant is not an issue, the hotel is a 5 minutes walk to Savigny Platz where there are plenty of restaurants of various prices and origins. 

The breakfast buffet is OK, with a larger spread than my last visit where I found it to be a weak point. Not any more as I found enough choices to make myself a good breakfast. And as proof that they do have a waffle machine: (see the hotel thread for the running joke)

Service

No complaint about service, the staff is good and professsional. The only minor point I experienced was that i requested an express check out and they did not slipped the bill under the door, I had to queue at the desk to get it.

The fitness room contains two treadmills, one step machine, fitness balls and weights. It also features lockers and a changing room.

Location

The location of the hotel is excellent for the western part of Berlin. Savigny platz is a few minutes away, as is Kurfürstendamm, KaDeWe, the Zoo and Aquarium. 

There is U bahn station (Uhlandstrasse) just near by. For S bahn, one can go to Savigny Platz.

Access to/from Berlin Tegel is easy: line 109 ( not X9) and stop at U Uhlandstrasse, From the stop there is less than 400 meters. It takes 20 minutes in light traffic.

Overall

This hotel is a good spot for a city break or business in Berlin if needed to be in the western part. The price is very often at 80 euros for a superior room, breakfast included, which makes it rather good value. If you are used to Hampton Inn in the United States of America, do not let the bane fools you. This hotel is more upscale than the typical Hampton.
