The Mandala Hotel

Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve stayed here twice now for little “staycations” with my boyfriend. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with thoughtful amenities like plenty of tea, coffee, and even hot chocolate. The concierge team really goes above and beyond, which makes the experience even more special. We’ve also dined a few times in the restaurant upstairs — the food is lovely, though the atmosphere in the bar/restaurant can feel a bit quiet, as if it’s just us and the staff. Still, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. Our favourite part of the stay is definitely the ONO Spa. It’s such a unique luxury to relax in total peace and calm while overlooking Potsdamer Straße. The chill-out room is a lovely touch, and I love the refreshing infused water. It’s always the highlight of our stay, and we’ll definitely be back for the spa soon!

This was my first time at the Mandala, which I chose because of its location just off Potsdamerplatz, the historic centre of Berlin in the 1930s, sadly divided by the Wall from 1961 to 1990 but now with excellent public transport links. The service I received was impeccable, including being shown round my room upon arrival. Breakfasts were excellent with hot dishes cooked to order. I also took advantage of room service for one evening meal and this arrived quicker than the promised 20 minutes. The facilities in my room included a walk-in wardrobe and a kitchenette. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

I stayed in the Mandala with my daughter last week and still cannot get over what a wonderful hotel this is! I have been to Berlin many times to visit family, and have never had such a wonderful time. From the second we walked in the hotel we felt like we were in a very special place- the hospitality is unreal, and the hotel itself is gorgeous. The room was out of this world- huge, well appointed, immaculately clean, very stylish, and every detail of comfort had clearly been thought out. I cannot wait to go back to Berlin- to stay in this amazing place.

Staff was extremely helpful, courteous, & accommodating. Hotel was beautifully decorated, offered an outstanding buffet breakfast every morning, rooms were nice with balcony & kitchenette. Did feel tub was extremely difficult for older and/or anyone with handicap. It was high to get in & out of with no grab bars for safety. Would recommend you look at Installing them. Also felt couch was well worn. Did not open so can’t say about fold out bed. Just commenting on the it front comfort of sitting on it. But both were manageable during our stay.

We had really good days at Berlin and thankful to your great service and accomodation. The room was large and equiped with everything we need, the location is quite and not far from center. Hotel personnel was really helpful and friendly. We didn’t have a chance to taste your meals, but i hope we will try on out next visit.

Highly recommend. This hotel has warm and excellent energy.. from the thoughtful design and interiors.. to the service and smiles of the staff, and the food on all occasions was super in quality. Business lunch at QIU is of value with plenty of options. The benefit of a right sized kitchen area is an advantage. Spent two weeks here but could stay for months. The gym has everything one needs as well as a balcony area, where you can get bits of the summer sun between your sets.. and the sauna and spa area on the top floor is lush and tranquil. Next stay is booked before this one finished.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is my favorite hotel in the world. I do not enjoy speaking unfavorably about anything, but THE MANDALA is the best of the best in my hotel experiences throughout the world. In all of my activities in life, I prefer "understated and overproducing" to most of the world's "overstated and underproducing". Whenever I travel of Berlin, there is no need for me to consider any other hotel except THE MANDALA. The employees are pleasant, kind, gentle, knowledgable, intelligent, understanding, and well-spoken. These are intrinsic factors that cannot be bought, and every employee that I encountered have these qualities. Importantly, the hotel is clean, and exhibits a high-quality charm that one feels every day with every person. I needed to "get away from the world, and pray and contemplate family matters"......and this hotel and its employees allowed me that luxury. As an "old American hippie" that has experienced the world and its people, my generation has no difficulty in telling good people that "I love you" as well as others to "f--k off".......I love all the employees at THE MANDALA and they make my time there so pleasurable in interacting with them......to each area of the hotel and its respective staff, I am grateful to say "thank you" for your courtesies........I'll see you all again....

Our stay was wonderful but it’s the only Marriott I have ever stayed that did not include breakfast for Platinum and Titanium members. Breakfast was served in their 2 star Michelin for a hefty fee. There should be a separate room for Marriott member breakfast.

This hotel was one of the best of our European vacation. It is a very modern and clean hotel. For its amenities and size, it really has fair prices. The rooms were large and well equipped. Absolutely no complaints with the accommodations. We even tried the room service. It had great food and the burger there was incredible. We also tried the small bar later that night and had a really good experience there too. I think it was a cherry blossom cocktail that blew us away. It is also in a great location. The Potsdamerplatz is new and clean with good access to many transportation hubs. It is also right south of the main monuments and attractions of Berlin. We would certainly stay here again.

It doesn't feel like a hotel because it's built like an apartment building with few comunal areas. Service is polite but not helpful or friendly We asked about the spa and they were very non- helpful or forward with the information. They have a bar on the 2 floor and an upscale restaurant ( FACIL ) in the 5 th floor. The breakfast buffet is very mediocre ; go somewhere else. Located right across the street from the Sony center and the Mall of Berlin. Very easy access to public transportation Rooms are pretty big and comfortable

Stayed for 5-nights in mid-August, this is a pretty good deal. In-comparison to other hotels in the area, and Berlin in-general, it is on the more expensive side. However, for a "Managers Suite" I spent between $198-$206/ night, breakfast included and it lasts until 12pm, 538 sq ft and a balcony. In San Francisco, NYC, or Los Angeles, this would be $450-$500/night. Lovely bar on the 2nd floor, and 2-Michelin Star restaurant, Facil on the 5th (unfortunately, didn't have the chance to go this time). Gym is 24-hours, there's a free laundromat - it's great. The hotel is good looking, clean, and friendly. Great quality organic vegan bath products. Only complaint, wish they gave some freebies in the room like bottled water or snacks. Also, there was an issue with the spa/massage service. I reserved a sports massage at 90 Euro for 90 minutes (see photo, upper left). Upon arriving, the spa tells me it will only be 50 minutes, I speak-up and say that it's advertised as 90 min., they tell me that it's only 50. I figure that the price will be reduced, particularly because this seemed to be more of a sensual massage than a sports massage (I'm being as nice as possible here). Called the front desk afterward, to make sure that I wouldn't be charged in-full, which turned into a blame game between me, the front desk, and the spa. Including them asking me to take a photo (see below) which I did but didn't send, and the hotel finally saying "on our side it says 90 Euro for 50 minutes, but we'll give you the discount" as if I was trying to rip them off. Well, see the damn attached photo. My guess is, this is a ploy to increase the customer base and that most people don't challenge them on it. In conclusion, the location is definitely on the mainstream side of town, so if you're looking to dive into the art scene and really embrace what Berlin has to offer for the first time, maybe adventure to a different neighborhood. Overall, recommend. Maybe skip the spa?

Great hotel across the board! The location is a block and a half from Potsdamer Platz station, so you have multiple options for mass transit (buses, S Bahn, and U Bahn). It is also an easy walk to Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Checkpoint Charlie, and Tiergarten Park. There are also plenty of restaurants in the area, and more bakeries than you could shake a stick at. Service was outstanding; friendly and helpful in every interaction that we had. The room was huge by German standards, and very well appointed. The bed was extremely comfortable, and unlike many German hotels it was one large mattress, not two small ones pushed together. The desk was large enough to actually be functional as a work space, and there was also a fairly comfortable chair for reading in as well. We found the internet to be acceptably fast, but we never tried streaming Netflix so we didn't really test it hard. Definitely the best hotel we've stayed in recently.

Loved this hotel 1) staff were nothing but professional, attentive and responsive in person & by email. 2) spacious and clean rooms. 3) Good dine in options, including a 2 star Michelin (did not eat there). There's a big Starbucks in the Sony centre opposite the hotel. 4) rooms are big and comfortable and come w/a copy of the universal declaration of human rights :) 5) cozy hotel not too big or too small 6) fabulous location Note: in the summer the a/c doesn't go below 19c.

The Mandala Hotel offered large rooms with all the amenities one may need and even gave us a bottle of champagne for our honeymoon. The receptionists were solid and breakfast was great - the buffet was so tasty we had to have multiple plates! Great location to enjoy Germany. WUNDERBARRR

Great hotel. The room was super spacious and well laid out. The front desk was professional and efficient. My only negative is that the area is very loud on a Saturday night with drunk-ass kids screaming at 4-5am. While I like my rare share of late night partying, you have to be some kind of an ass hole to walk down the street and just scream at that time of night/day.

My favourite hotel to stay in Berlin! Rooms with space, good for intercontinental travelers. Amazing service, and no extra luxury! Facil the hotel restaurant just got 2 michelins stars

We recently stayed at the Mandala Hotel and Suites (September 28-October 1 2010) during our trip to Berlin and highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Berlin. The hotel lobby is gorgeous...it reminded me of a winter wonderland...very pretty. The rooms are huge!!! The room we stayed in did seem a tiny bit outdated just based on colors and countertop materials, etc., but it still was lovely!!! We stayed on the 8th floor and there was a washer and dryer free to use (not sure if all floors have one???). We were running late for a tour one morning so we embarrassingly asked if someone from housekeeping could grab our stuff out of the dryer when it was done and they did it without hesitation or complaint!!! The hotel staff was all very helpful, friendly, and nice. We ate breakfast and dinner here once...the breakfast was just average, but the dinner was DELICIOUS!!! Also, we had a very difficult time finding our favorite drinks in Germany...Grey Goose Vodka and Captain Morgan Rum and their bar had both for us (they had to go look in the back for the Captain....LOL)!!! It is located directly across the street from the Sony Center and is about 1 block to the Potsdamer Platz train station. Anywhere we wanted to go in the city we were able to just walk out the door and get right on the train and be there in 10-15 minutes. The Sony Center also has enough to do if you find yourself without any plans for a couple of hours...it has bars, restaurants, movies, history, etc. Also, there is a cute little Australian bar down the street directly to the left of the hotel...forgot the name, but very friendly patrons and workers!!! Our only complaints were that we had no idea that breakfast was included in our stay...hence we only ate their once. It would have been nice to have known that before we checked out so we didn't search for breakfast around the city a couple of times. Also, upon our arrival we asked the guy that checked us in where we could go for a casual restaurant and he sent us a few blocks away. We discovered the inside of the Sony Center on our last day and discovered that it had TONS of casual restaurants in it...why didn't he suggest that to us??? Overall, I would highly suggest this hotel to any Berlin tourists!!!

I've just booked a management suite for 2 nights for £248 on expedia. You get a LOT included!

We had two rooms for the night in Berlin and would definitely go back. Dimitri and Diane greeted us at check-in and were able to answer all our questions during our stay. Rooms are spacious, closets large, bathrooms luxurious and beds very comfortable. We had a delicious meal in the dining room after a long travel day. Location is central to many tourist sites.

The safest place in Berlin to stay! Potzdamer platz right in the heart of the business district. Me and my friend found this 5* hotel to be a very enjoyable stay. It was very homely and modern at the same time and transport links were perfect. Polite and pleasant staff!

Great recent place, perfect service and commodities. Situated in a quite boring area though but it remains central if you accept to take a cab or subway
