Goethe87 Hotel

I am just back from spending five wonderful nights at this great hotel. I read the reviews of the hotel on Tripadvisor - and they were spot on. From the moment we checked in (and got a free upgrade) we knew we'd struck gold. The rooms are huge, light and airy. They were always spotless and are equipped with everything you could need - kitchenette, fridge, air con, dvd player, radio and different types of pillow. The showers are out of this world, they blast you from all directions. It is obviously well insulated as we never heard any noise at night. The location is superb too - minutes from main shops and five mins to U and S Bahn which takes you to all the sights.

There is a GREAT Spanish place five mins walk away called Mar Y Sol. I would find it hard to believe anyone could be disappointed with this excellent, and for the centre of Berlin failry cheap, hotel. We WILL return!

My partner and I stayed 3 nights and they were all WONDERFUL. We both travel a lot and stay in lots of apartments and hotels and this was by far the best in any country I've been in lately. The rooms are beautiful, the service is friendly and the location is really convenient for sight seeing and dining out.

This hotel is less than 10 minutes walk to Zoologicagarten station and was a very pleasant surprise. We were upgraded to a large 1 bedroom suite, quiet ,modern and all the facilities of a top hotel. The shower had 6 outlets, nice sized kitchen and the walk-in robe was as large as many hotel rooms. All of this for less than 100 eoros!

This hotel is perfect! My wife and I have stayed in many hotels, but Goethe87 certainly has captured our attention as being amongst the top. Goethe87 was fantastic from the moment we arrived at 9 AM after a long overnight flight and they let us check in right away. .This hotel is certainly beyond the WOW factor..

Location-

The location is fabulous. Gives you the atmosphere of being in a boutique hotel. It is a classy hotel on a quiet street with near transportation and wonderful restaurants, and gives you the atmosphere of being in a boutique hotel.

Amenities:

Amenities is perfect and modern, and bathroom is very special.

Staff-

The best words of appreciation should go to Goethe87’s manager Robert Novacic who brought the personal touch to our wonderful stay. He was very responsive and tried his best to make our trip to Berlin very memorable. Mr. Novacic, who was fluent in English, helped us with all directions and advised us on attractions, restaurants, food and customs. We were very grateful for his care and service. They were above and beyond on our imagination. The ownership of this hotel can be proud of such a manager. Robert makes this place very execptional.

The bottom line: if we are lucky enough to pass through Berlin again we know where we will want to stay – at Goethe87

The Goethe87 Hotel in Berlin was well-reviewed on Tripadvisor, and my wife and i decided to give it a go for the one night we were in the city. We just wish that we could have stayed longer.

The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from Zoo station in the beautiful area of Charlottenburg, or 10 minutes from the Savignyplatz S-bahn station. The entrance is on the 1st (or, for you Americans, 2nd) floor.

It is not a full-service hotel (no minibar, whoopee) but is more an apartment hotel. From the friendly check-in to the beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean apartment with its tea and coffee-making facilities to the plethora of nearby restaurants, we enjoyed the whole experience. No, breakfast was not included, but a coffee and pastry at a nearby cafe compensated for that.

Certainly, we were upgraded, but the ultramodern and stylish fittings would have been the same throughout the hotel, of course. Really, apart from the lack of breakfast (which we knew about) we could not find fault with the place.

My sister and I have just returned from a fantastic 3 night stay in this lovely Hotel. The rooms were spotlessand very chic and had an amazing wellness shower. Staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. We didn't have Breakfast in Hotel but there are many lovely, well priced Restauarants in the vacinity. We found Savigny Platz was best place to eat with a lovely Italian Restaurant called Petrocelli's and just up from Hotel a Thai Rest called moon Palace - food excellent!

Hotel was within 5 / 10 mins walking distance from Zoo / Kurfustendam and Bus station for Bus Tours.Local transport easy to use - we went to Charlottenburg Palace...beautiful although allow a few hours!

Would not hesitate to recommend Goethe87 to anyone!

I have added in a few photos.

After reading the rave reviews, we selected this hotel for our four night stay in Berlin. Our room was immaculate and the wellness shower was a special treat after walking all around Berlin. We did not have breakfast in the hotel, however, there were several wonderful cafes nearby, as well as some bakeries. The staff was extremely accommodating with information. The hotel in located in Charlottenburg, a great area for shopping, don't miss the KaDeWe department store's gourmet food on the top floor. Out of this world!

This hotel was very reasonably priced and was a lot larger than you would get in NYC for twice the price.

I have just returned from three nights at this excellent hotel. It is well situated in a pleasant and relatively quiet part of the city but with many nice restaurants and shops nearby. There are also S and U bahn stations only a short walk away. The room we had was large, light, airy, spotlessly clean, well appointed and attractively decorated. The showers, as many other reviewers have already stated, are out of this world, being by far the best I have ever had the pleasure of using. The staff were all friendly and helpful and spoke good English.

The breakfast we had in a modern and very pleasantly decorated room on the ground floor was also of a high standard with a wide choice of good quality food and efficient service. I look forward to returning to this hotel at the earliest opportunity and would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone else looking for a very good quality hotel in the charming and fascinating city of Berlin.

Just came home from Berlin. I stayed in hotel Goethe87 in Charlottenburg for the weekend and liked the hotel a lot. It is an apartment hotel with very spacious, modern and clean apartments with a lot of light. The room faced a nice and quiet backyard, it was nearly like staying in countryside although the Kurfuerstendamm just about 500 meters away is. The area is very nice, with plenty of good restaurants in the Knesebeckstrasse round the corner. I had breakfast in my room, but it is also possible to have it in the hotel bistro downstairs or even to order a breakfast from there to the room. The personnel was also very nice.

The only problem I had was with the towels in bathroom. One day they were not changed although I had put them on the floor. But after I had called the reception and asked for fresh towels, they were brought to the room in just 5 minutes and so it was not a big issue. For some people the location could also be a problem since it is located some kilometers from the area Mitte where many of the attractions are. But there is a U-Bahn and a S-Bahn station not far away.

An extremely nice place to stay in west Berlin. The rooms are very large, extremely clean, nicely decorated. The hotel is located at about 5 minutes walk from the Zoologischer Garten train station, one of the main in Berlin. Therefore access by s-bahn or subway is very convenient. The hotel staff was very helpful. Overall I had an extremely pleasant stay!

I booked Goethe 87 based on the great reviews I saw here on Trip Advisor, and was not disappointed! Had a great 3-night getaway with my husband in the mid-sized suite. We found the location convenient and quiet, the hotel itself clean and tastefully decorated, and the suite very comfortable. We were able to cook in the kitchenette and there was English-language news. We liked the neighborhood, cute shops, cafes, and a small organic grocery nearby, and were able to walk (about 5-10 mins.) to public transport. The "well being" shower was incredible and relaxing as others have mentioned. I highly recommend a stay here!

You not only get an hotel room, you get a whole apartment for a very reasonable price. Great big room. stylish, clean with kitchen that has everything you need. We can only recommend this place. (only missing thing is a bathtub, but besides that even the bathroom is very nice)

This "studio" hotel, with efficient kitchen and super modern amenities gets the highest ranking I could give an establishment. The service, albeit not a full-service hotel, was by far the most efficient and pleasant I have experienced. In a quiet, beautiful part of Berlin, it is an easy walk to the U and S Bahn. The shower is fantastic; the bed is very comfortable; the rooms are modern, crisp and clean; and our continental breakfast through room service was impeccable.

We visited Berlin with a German friend and she chose this hotel for us. We could not have been happier. The hotel is clean, comfortable and modern. You are greeted with two green apples on your pillows and a free large bottle of water. Our room had a lovely little alcove with a desk overlooking the street. Perfect for writing postcards. And the shower! So many different shower heads shooting water from different directions. After a wonderfully long day of sightseeing, it was a great way to relax. We also had a small kitchen with a refrigerator and microwave. We took advantage of this by visiting a nearby market and stocking up on breakfast items, snacks and drinks.

The staff was very pleasant and helpful. And the neighborhood is beautiful. Just steps away from the Zoo Station and the famous Kurfurstendam Shopping Street. Don't miss the KaDeWe Department Store. The largest on the continent. There are plenty of cafes nearby. Also, a few blocks down on the same street as the hotel is a wonderful little bookstore run by a Bostonian. It sells English language books for those of you who find you have run out of something to read during your stay. We enjoyed our stay so much that after four nights we hated to leave.

One of the nicest hotels I have stayed in! We were upgraged to one of the larger rooms as the hotel was quiet. The room was very modern, spacious and immaculately clean. I loved it! The staff were very helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations. I loved the area of Charlottenburg and was so glad I decided on this as a location. Everything was nearby. Much better than staying in the larger areas where everything was more spread out. Despite horrible weather- rain and snow, it was lovely to come back to our hotel room every night,. Shower was amazing and the floor does not get wet if you do not open it immediately after showering as there is still water running off it. Much nicer than staying in a big impersonal chain.

Booked this hotel/apartment to fit into a much needed relaxing break with my husband.

The apartments are advertised as luxuary apartments and we were not disappointed. We booked a studio apartment and was pleasantly surprised at the size of the apartment - we did worry that it was just going to be a box, like most European accomodation but we did not feel at any point we needed extra space- we were there for 5 nights. The apartment had a walk-in wardrobe big enough to be a bedroom!

The apartment itself was wonderful - well decorated(contempory-chic), had all the mod-cons i.e. LCD tv, dvd player, hob, microwave oven, coffee filter machine, safe, etc..... It was cleaned daily and as mentioned in other reviews, the shower/bathroom was absolutely fantastic!

Location - The apartments are located within 10mins walk to the S-Bann ('Zoo' stop) and 5mins walk to one of the major shopping streets. It is surrounded by numorous eateries-greek, italian, chinese, vietnamese, thai,etc....not to mention bakeries, delicatessens supplying fresh breads/desserts/cakes/cheeses/hams etc... With the S-Bann being so close, it was relatively easy to get to once getting off the plane - there is a S-Bann station from the airport straight to the stop 'Zoo'.

Value for money - Cost of apartment is not for the budget traveller but it is affordable - approx £80 per night. When compared to other hotel deals and consider what you are getting for your money, it is actually quite a good deal.

Entertainment - Due to the time of year and the type of trip we wanted, we didn't really go partying in the evenings, but was quite happy spending our evenings in nearby restaurants enjoying a lovely meal. With its nearby public transport links, we were able to do all the sightseeing we wanted and was not left thinking we had missed anything.

Would we recommend staying? Definitely yes!

I selfishly hesitated to write this review as I’m afraid the next time I go to Berlin, Goethe 87 will be sold out! My husband, my mother, her friend and I all stayed for a week at Goethe 87. It stands tall as the best deal we encountered in Europe, we all loved it. These hotel rooms are like small apartments and include their own doorbell, kitchenettes, and balconies. They are tasteful, sleek and appointed with the best features, such as Gaggenau stoves and refrigerators, gorgeous French doors that swing open or hinge at the bottom for a breeze, push-button shade closures and high-end fixtures throughout. Our room had a lovely view and was very quiet. The bathroom shower is a dream, equipped with a Grohe wellness apparatus that shoots water at you from various heights, culminating in a large rainshower head and a hand-held sprayer. The entire impression is Euro-style and upscale.

There is daily cleaning service, despite the apartment schematic. There is free onsite laundry service and wireless internet, unheard of at their rate. The reception and Bistro staff were utterly professional and always helpful. They lent us an English book on what to do in Berlin, and when we couldn’t figure out the shower workings, someone came right to our room and demonstrated for us. They lent us an umbrella when it rained and even faxed for us. If we called for something, it was immediately addressed. We were very impressed. We did have a concern with the cleaning staff, but that was quickly rectified and apologized for.

Goethe 87 is in what was once one of the most fashionable parts of town, Charlottenburg. The trend factor loss to the east is our gain in the west, as staying in Charlottenburg is now less expensive than say Berlin Mitte or nearer to the gate. Bearing in mind that Berlin had the best transportation system we encountered, anywhere you stay is accessible to the city centers, and Goethe 87 is surrounded by excellent shopping and varied restaurant choices. When you stay at Goethe 87 you feel you are absorbed into the lifestyle of Berlin. The post office is across the street, the apothecary is around the corner, the grocer is down the street and the Kurfurstendam is a few blocks away—life goes on around you as it would for a local; the environment is authentic Berlin. Berlin is a lush, fascinating, historic and vibrant city with an international flair, don’t bypass it, and get out to museum island! Surrounding the city are a multitude of relaxing parks, quaint lakeside towns (Tegel-am-see), and castle areas (don’t miss the Potsdam Palaces). There is an active art scene. I loved Berlin and Goethe 87 made it truly comfortable and memorable for our entire group. A++!

The hotel is situated in a quiet area of Berlin, Charlottenburg. It's on walking distance (10mins) of the Zoo Station and the Kurfurstendamm.

The rooms are big. We booked a 35 square meter Studio Ballade for 98 euros per night.

The studio's interior is very modern and looks brandnew. On first entrance, the hotel staff has left a nice green apple on top of your pillow.

Other cool features: nice big windows that can be opened; an LCD tv; a nice kitchenette incl. micro wave and complete set of glasses, plates, etc.

But the hottest of all features is the generous bathroom with wellness shower! God, we loved taking (long!) showers in this hotel. In fact it's a shower with 4 massaging water sources (whats that called in English? Shower heads?).

Staff is very friendly and helpful too.

Wir haben im Oktober 2 Nächte in einem Studio der Kategorie Ballade (Zimmer 6.6 auf der 6. Etage) des Goethe87 übernachtet, 2 Erwachsene und 1 Baby.

Der Aufenthalt dort war durchweg sehr gut, das Zimmer hat eine gute Grösse, die Küchenzeile ist sehr gut ausgestattet und der begehbare Kleiderschrank mit ca 5 qm hat uns als Mini-Kinderschlafzimmer gedient (wir haben die Schiebetür leicht offen gelassen!). Das Badezimmer ist wunderbar. Insgesamt sind die Zimmer sehr geschmackvoll und modern eingerichtet und wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder dort übernachten. Der Service ist super mit sehr netten und hilfsbereiten Angestellten. In der direkten Umgebung gibt es zahlreiche Cafes und sehr gute Restaurants, so dass man sich um die Verpflegung keine Sorgen machen muss. Die Anbindung an U- und S-Bahn sowie den Bus ist ebenfalls super. Alles in allem eine absolute Empfehlung für den nächsten Berlin-Trip!

Wir haben das Hotel aufgrund der guten Kritiken im Tripadvisor ausgewählt.

Die Lage des Hotels war für uns gut. Zum Savigneplatz waren es 7 Minuten zu Fuss und ab da fuhr unsere S-Bahn. Die Gegend ist schön und man hat tolle Restaurants und Bars in der Umgebung. Toll, vor allem für Abends!!! Ganz besonders möchte ich an der Stelle das "Mar y Sol" empfehlen. Ein Spanier, bei dem man tolles Essen bekommt und man toll draußen sitzen kann.

Außerdem ist man in 10 - 15 Minuten zu Fuß aufm Ku'Damm. Es ist ruhig und schön in dieser Gegend.

So viel zu Umgebung.

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und nett - nix zu motzen.

Die Räume (in unserem Fall: Elfchen) waren hübsch eingerichtet und groß. Auch das Bad ist recht groß und ganz schön. Zu unserer Überraschung hatten wir sogar eine kleine Küchenzeile.

Die Sauberkeit war ok. Es war nicht staubig, das Bad war sauber, lediglich ein paar Kleinigkeiten haben mich gestört (Tatzer an den Türen, Flecken im Kühlschrank, aber eigentlich echt nix schlimmes)

Das Hotel verfügt über 6 oder 8 Tiefgaragenstellplätze, was wir auch genutzt haben. Das kostete - glaube ich - ca. 12 Euro. Die Garage war nur per Karte zu öffnen - gutes Gefühl. Allerdings ist dieses Eck der Goethestraße relativ ruhig, so dass man auch draußen einen Parkplatz hätte finden können.

Das Frühstück ist gut und reichhaltig (für diese Größe) in einem wirklich schönen Raum - aber etwas teuer. Pro Person kostet es 10,90 Euro. Das haben wir nur einmal gemacht und sind sonst zum Bäcker an der Ecke (der auch ganz schön gut war).

Alles in allem ein Hotel das nicht schlecht ist und in dem man sich wohlfühlen kann. Hauptargument PRO Goethe87 ist einfach die Lage - für uns ging es kaum besser.
