Hotel Henri

We wanted a hotel with character and a sense of history - and we certainly got it. The room was full of all kinds of vintage furnishings, right down to the heavy door key. Breakfasts were very good too. Well located for the Ku'Damm and just a U-bahn stop or three from the cathedral. Enjoyable stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Henri! The location is excellent – close to the train station, yet situated on a quiet and pleasant street near Kurfürstendamm. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the staff friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious and varied. Thank you for the sweet gift left at our door – such a lovely gesture! We'd be happy to return!

I really wanna recommend this hotel for the simple reason that in a world of uniform and soulless hotels it definitely stands out. It has a soul. Entering it we immediately felt comfortable, almost like at home, especially in the Christmas time. Original and cozy with great service. A rare thing to find in a metropole like Berlin.

This was a good choice of hotels to stay. Great location, charming old hotel, surprisingly spacious room, very nice staff. Only thing to be aware of is no aircon. But the high ceilings, windows that open, shaded building and the provided fan kept things pleasant in the unusual late-September heat. Oh, housekeeping staff is exceptional.

I’m paying over $300 per night and the Internet doesn’t work. That is unacceptable at this price point. I called the front desk and was told they are aware of the issue — but this is 2025. Reliable Wi-Fi in every room is not a luxury anymore; it is a basic expectation. Huge disappointment. I hope management actually addresses this rather than treating it as “known but unfixed.”

This is a fabulous hotel. The interior and rooms are charming. The staff super nice and helpful -they couldn’t do more to help me out of sticky situation. Lastly I love the Abendbrot! Such a pleasure at the end of a long day. Thank you!

Lovely hotel! The building is beautiful, along with the decor. It’s a bit older so the doors stick, but it’s very charming 😄 No AC, but it was fine since it was not hot weather. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I had a strange situation with my reservation (messily planned business trip), so I had to split my reservation into 2 different stays. They were really accommodating in adjusting things so I could just stay in the same room the whole time, instead of having to switch! It’s also well-located, lots of restaurants and close to public transit stations.

Great location. Rooms are not updated technologically (e.g. USB ports) but nice otherwise as far as convenience. That might even be part of the charm + one should pack their own accessories to enable such access when traveling you might argue. Weather was pleasant during my summer stay so the lack of AC, which was standard in these parts yrs ago, was not a prob. Consider this going forward, however, as heat waves become more common.

When I travel, I like to stay in a local hotel rather than an USA chain. This reinforces the experience of visiting. The Hotel Henri meets that preference. Unfortunately, it also screams deferred maintenance. The photo of the entrance is incorrect. There is a dilapidated sign saying 'Hotel'. As we approached it, I said 'I hope that is not ours' as it reminded me of a skid row hotel. Luckily, the sign was not indicative of the inside, but there were still issues. Missing paint here, a floor board popping up - later taped down, in the breakfast room, inadequate lighting in the hotel room. But the people were (mostly) amazingly nice. When I commented that we were using our phone lights to see the closet, they sent up a nice floor lamp that completely solved the problem. But what about the people who were there before us? The door to the bathroom had a step up of a few inches, perfect to break a toe or trip and fall head first into the sink. We rolled up a towel on the floor which, after one mishap, solved that problem. Note, like most historic hotels, there is no air conditioning. The breakfast €20 (15 at reservation) and it was very good, but not as good as some. We were not disappointed. Like most hotels, the Internet WiFi is slow coming in at about 25 Mbps. Too slow to do a Zoom meeting reliably. We could hear the person (upstairs? On the 5th floor?) playing his TV late into the night. The hotel's location is outside of the tourist area, but it is only 2 blocks south of Zoo train station and a quick zip into the tourist area. It is very easy to navigate with a phone map that includes platform and timing. We got an all day pass. Being outside of the tourist area makes it quieter. With Berlin's safe and speedy mass transit, it makes getting elsewhere easy. Several nice restaurants for dinner are nearby. Most require reservations - Open Table for many.

It was ok. Breakfast lovely, rooms definitely needed a clean, and quirky open drinks were a nice touch.

Every detail, from the coffee to the staff "time period" uniforms- stylish not gimmicky! I was a bit skeptical when my daughter suggested a boutique hotel - Ritz Carlton is more my style. But this hotel is the real deal. Charming - traditional European at its best! Loved every well thought out detail! TAKE NOTE: We visited in September and it was cool enough to open the windows - no a/c. I give it a 10!!!!

Hard to beat the location and the staff are friendly and helpful. But the place is ridiculously noisy due to the amplification of outdoor sounds by the courtyard, the wifi does not work in most rooms (lucky the Apple store is a block away), and the lack of a/c makes it unbearable during summer months. Plus, the mini fridge in our room did not keep anything cool, and the bathroom "soap" was a weird chemical combo of shampoo and shower gel. To sum up, if you go during cool weather, it's a decent bargain; otherwise, opt for an American chain such as the excellent Hampton nearby.

The hotel is very beautiful and maintained internally, but you can hear ALL the creaking in the walls and even the people walking above you. You're in a touristy area, so people will be up at all hours, which means don't expect to get much sleep. There was also construction going on in the hotel with NO forewarning from the hotel, so it was normal to be woken up by 7am. The wifi is ONLY ok, depending on the room you are in. I asked to be moved to another room due to the noise, but it was a matter of choosing between noise or bad wifi. To top it off, I could hear the person in the room behind me snoring. Don't stay here if you expect to get some sleep here. The staff, however, was very accomodating. Management, however, not too willing to accomodate someone staying on business at the hotel for 12 days. You do the math.
