Citadines Kurfuerstendamm Berlin

The lobby of the Citadines Kurfuerstendamm feels like a chic living room with comfy fabric couches and a glass table situated on a brown rug. There’s a big flat-screen TV and newspapers to read for guests' entertainment. Drum ceiling lights and blue and brown pillows give the space some style, while large windows allow in ample sunlight. The breakfast room has a playful, modern feel with a large wall design featuring circles lit by LED lights and with polka-dots adding some color. Outside, a deck with rattan tables and chairs offers additional dining space in the open air. The atmosphere is relaxed and common spaces have a nice polish that some of the rooms lack. 

The hotel is located on a busy, leafy street in Charlottenburg, an affluent area with plenty of shopping and dining options. It’s a two-minute walk to Kurfurstendamm (or Ku’Damm), a street lined with high-end stores and hotels. The subway can be reached in less than a 10-minute walk. Tourist attractions including the Berlin Wall Memorial, Museum of Natural History, and Museum Island are all within a 45-minute commute via public transportation, and Berlin Tegel Airport can be reached in less than a 15-minute drive or 45 minutes via public transportation. 

Rooms at this hotel fall into two main categories: Standard (or not refurbished) and Deluxe (refurbished). The bones of both rooms are the same, with handy kitchenettes, but color schemes and level of modernity vary. The traditional rooms have peachy colors and floral curtains while the more modern spaces have green-and-gray striped walls and geometric print rugs. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, CD players, and free Wi-Fi. Wooden furnishings in some rooms are in need of an update. All rooms are equipped with kitchenettes with microwaves, stovetops, sinks, toasters, cookware, and dishwashers. Bathrooms have shower/tub combos, and the apartment rooms have added conveniences like makeup mirrors and amenity kits, and homey touches including oil diffusers and decorative succulent plants.

For a fee, the hotel offers a breakfast buffet including hot and cold items such as eggs, sausages, cereals, fruit, and pastries. There is a small fitness center with modern equipment including an elliptical machine, a treadmill, a stationary bike, and hand weights. An Internet corner in the lobby has one computer, and a spacious laundry room has coin-operated machines. Parking is available for a fee. There is no full restaurant on-site. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
