Review of Sofitel Schweizerhof

I really enjoyed my 4 night stay at this perfectly...

I really enjoyed my 4 night stay at this perfectly situated hotel. The Magnificent Tiergarten is within easy walking distance and the beautiful Berlin Zoo and Aquarium are also nearby. The street is reasonably quiet yet only a few hundred meters to local shops and restaurants. I was also able to take a canal tour within a few hundred metres of the hotel. My room was comfortable and quiet and the breakfast buffet excellent. I loved the pool and swam most days I was there. The only issue I had was that the reception and foyer area were often very crowded with conference delegates and several times I had to squeeze through a crowd to get to the lift. Some, not all, staff - either reception or kitchen, were aloof. On my last morning (27 September) the chef at the omelette bar was down right rude. He acted like it was a total inconvenience to make me an omelette. Weird! The positives certainly outweigh these few little negatives and I d stay again just for the location. The Blend Bar and Kitchen serves a great burger. I d say 4.5 stars.
