Hotel Henri

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.

What a lovely hotel! Full of personality and charm and a pleasant change to the sterile box-room modern hotels in city centres. Handily placed for attractions, places to eat, and nightlife. Sure the beds could be more comfy, and the breakfast a little more inspiring, but those are minor complaints.

Delightful hotel, can't recommend it enough - stylish old charm, helpful staff, quiet and comfortable rooms with pretty decor, nice breakfasts, great location. Literally can't fault it and will definitely be back. The staff were super helpful and accommodating with last minute changes two of us had to make to our bookings. All in all a great find!

This quirky hotel was a really good experience. It was easy to find with a theatre style entrance with lights arched over the front entrance. Inside was like going back in time to the 1920's. The reception staff were welcoming and helpful. |Our room on the 2nd floor was reached by an old style lift, then out to big heavy doors through to the rooms. Old style keys with brass fobs were used for rooms. Inside the room we were greeted with the same 1920s feel. Beautiful old wooden furniture (desk, wardrobe, bed side table etc,) . Creaky wooden floors. A coffee machine, together with tea and herbal drinks was sited on another beautiful piece of furniture. The bathroom was small but equipped with all you would need and supplied with lovely scented Henri soaps and shower/shampoo gel. Hairdryer available in a bag ready for use. The bathroom was bright and shiny in the old style of black and white tiles, chrome fittings and great mirrors. |Breakfast was good. Relaxed feel with food served in an old style kitchen then taken back to various tables scattered around 3 rooms. Good variety of foods constantly being checked and refilled where needed.| Loved the bircher. |The hotel was a short walk from shops, restaurants and bus stops. We used one of the hop on buses to get our bearings but due to a big police presence with the Israeli prime minister visit, it was difficult for the bus to negotiate closed roads. We chose to get off and walk around the places of interest. |Our overall visit to Berlin was a good one|

Hotel and rooms are nice. Issue is safety box was not working, battery?? Informed reception 2 x. Nothing happened, or I dont know " no info" . Pls fix it asap for next visitor.

Fantastic, charming boutique hotel in the Zoological Gardens area of West Berlin. Handy for shops, restaurants and nightlife. Underground nearby will get you across the city with ease.

The hotel is in a good location, nice and clean. Breakfast is OK. Staff are friendly. The only drawback is that you have to ring a bell to get into the hotel. Sometimes the door is not opened promptly and you have to wait in the cold. Otherwise all is good.

I recommend this hotel. It's located in a nice neighborhood. The metro is nearby. The staff is very friendly, especially the lady at reception, she's always smiling.

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.
