TRYP Berlin Mitte Hotel

So, as much as I thought this hotel was a bit charmless (to use a word), I have to admit it is alright. It is spotless and everything works just fine.
The thing is, it lacks that feeling that makes you feel really welcome and relaxed, the internet is a joke really, you can only be online with one piece of equipment at a time they charge extra for more, it is really slow and will disconnect every ten minutes :(
The rooms are OK, a bit on the small side but it’s fine. The beds are kind of hard but nothing too bad.
We didn’t have breakfast while on our stay because I prefer going out to a local place, but it looked like your standard hot breakfast.
Bottom line, it is not the best hotel but neither is it bad, it is a good option for a weekend in the city when you are only going to sleep there anyways!

Stylish lobby. Close to metro, but not so central. Spacious room. Problems: the room didn’t look swept, it’s equipped with a big wardrobe without drawers with just 5 hangers (broken), the beds are really tough, the shower doesn’t have pressure, the air cleaner in our WC didn’t work and the Wi-​Fi is free at the rooms, but you need to ask every day for the password and is very slow, so don’t think to make a videoconference with your family or publish a bunch of photographs (even for consulting the public transport website you have to be patient). Another thing is that the rooms are perfectly isolated from the inside, you don’t hear the corridor or another rooms, but if you have street views is very noisy and you hear all the cars crossing.
If you arrive late and hungry to the hotel, the restaurant will be closed from 22:30, including the room service.
The staff in general is kind and helpful, with some exception.
In the surroundings is difficult to find a supermarket, but you have a couple of good caffetteries to have breakfast in the same street.
For me is not completely bad, but deserves one star less (3 instead of 4) and the price should be lower according to this. If I had paid less and was conscious to receive a 3-​stars service and experience, I would rated it much better than I’ve that.

A real nice and clean hotel, the staff is very friendly, breakfast is commendably and it is in the middle of the center, beside the Metro station. A good place to stay for your business, unfortunately there isn’t any individual atmosphere, no feelings of home or a kind of soul for a longer stay.

This place is clean and modern, with friendly staff and big rooms by European standards. A major drawback though is the wifi. Lobby wifi is free but you must pay if you’d like wifi in your room. Totally not a big deal. Until it drops. Or until there is more than one device using it. Then all bets are off.
While the room is spacious, the floors were a little dusty. So wipe your feet before you hope into bed. And don’t hop into bed, you may break your back! The bed was hard as a rock!

TRYP is absolutely gorgeous, like a young lady who wears heels and blazers and has amazing skin. The entire hotel is beautifully decorated with very modern décor. The rooms are HUGE for European standards, with hard wood floors and gigantic showers! Large flat screen TV‘s are always impressive and there were a good number of English channels available. No Wifi in the rooms unfortunately, but it is free in the lobby. The hotel was shockingly affordable and the front desk was consistently helpful and kind. We were even allowed to check in slightly early which is extremely comforting after an early flight. It‘s also an easy metro ride to the city center and the shopping districts. I dearly miss those beautiful rooms and I would definitely stay here again!

There is a HUGE problem with this hotel and that is the wifi, or lack thereof. Let me begin by stating that no matter what travel or hotel booking website says, wifi is only «available» in the lobby. Unless, of course, you want to pay extra. The lobby wifi is not really like wifi at all. The 32k dial-​up modem I used at my first job after University was faster than the lobby wifi. So, why would I pay extra for wifi seeing as how they can’t even get it to work properly in the lobby? I had no faith that paid wifi would be better.
The wifi situation is why I would never recommend this hotel nor ever stay here again. In this day and age and at the price point of this hotel, I expect FAST, RELIABLE wifi not only in the common areas of the hotel but IN MY ROOM.
I found the wifi situation at the hotel absolutely absurd. As a tourist, I’m out all day using up my phone data and my battery. When I come back to the hotel, I want to relax in MY OWN ROOM, surf the internet (if for just an hour), and kick my feet up. I don’t want to have to walk downstairs only to ask the front desk to reboot the router and find out that the wifi wasn’t worth the 30 minutes it took me to walk down to the lobby and wait for the router to be restarted. It’s ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
Even if the wifi was of an acceptable speed, there are no power outlets in the lobby to charge your devices. So, at the end of a day of sightseeing, you return to your hotel with a drained phone battery and unless you have other wifi enabled devices to take with you to the lobby to «surf,» you’re screwed because you’ve got to leave your drained phone in your room to charge!
Aside from the huge wifi problem which management doesn’t seem to take any notice to, the rooms were modern but I did find a few stray hairs in the bathroom upon arrival. The windows are excellent at blocking out the city noise but they too become an issue when you realize that the heating/​cooling system doesn’t work and have to open the windows to get fresh and/​or cool air in the room. There is also a lack of insulation between rooms and floors. I was constantly woken up to loud walking from the people staying in the room above us and what I can only describe as «the moving of furniture from the rooms next to us, across the hall from us, and above us. Oh, and the beds are too hard even for European standards.
This hotel is missing the conveniences needed by today’s modern traveler. There are other hotels in Berlin at the same price point with free wifi in better locations. Stay elsewhere or consider yourself warned.

Tryp hotel was great! Great front desk staff, cleaning crew and bartenders! My friends and I felt very safe there. It is close to tons of restaurants and public transportation. Taxis cabs come in 30 seconds after a call from the front desk. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone visiting Berlin!

The Good.
–They let us check in at 8 am after a red-​eye, which I really, truly appreciated.*
–The rooms are FAR nicer than I anticipated for such a reasonable rate.
–Said rooms are simple but stylish, and completely clean.
–There is a kick-​ass bear mural that you can see from the hallway.
–There were gummy snacks on my pillow.
The Bad.
–No gummy snacks on her pillow. And I got two on mine; weird, huh?
–Like the rest of Europe, you can only get two twin beds pushed together. No queens.
The Ugly.
–My own stupidity. It took me a lot longer than I care to admit to figure out that the electricity won’t work unless your key is in the slot by the door.
