Savoy Hotel Berlin Review: What To REALLY Expect If You Stay

Pros

Good location in elegant Charlottenburg neighborhood near shopping
Historic hotel, first opened in 1929, has hosted celebrities and writers
Big, traditionally decorated rooms with flat-screen TVs
Free in-room Wi-Fi and coffee machines
Cigar smoking lounge with variety of cigars for sale
Several restaurants and bars, and a rooftop terrace
Small fitness center with sauna (in-room spa treatments are available)

Cons

Not all rooms have air conditioning
Rooms show some wear and tear
Double rooms feature two twin beds pushed together (typical of Berlin hotels)
Some complaints of thin walls

Bottom Line

The historic Hotel Savoy is located in the elegant Charlottenburg neighborhood. This hotel first opened its doors in 1929, and welcomed famous guests from Greta Garbo to Thomas Mann in its grander days. The 125 rooms are large and traditional, with simple bathrooms, free in-room Wi-Fi, coffee machines, and flat-screen TVs -- though they are starting to show some wear and tear. Perks here include a cigar lounge, several restaurants and bars, and a small fitness center with sauna. A color palette of regal red is found throughout this charming hotel, and though some guests complain of thin walls, service here is still top-notch.
