Leonardo Hotel Berlin Mitte

This was my second stay at a Leonardo Hotel—following a stay last December in Amsterdam—and the Berlin Mitte location lived up to the consistency I’ve come to expect from the brand. As someone who travels regularly throughout Europe, I value hotels that are well run, reliable, and comfortable for more than just a night or two, and this property delivered on those points. The staff were consistently professional and welcoming. The concierge deserves special mention for being both knowledgeable and genuinely pleasant, offering practical, thoughtful advice rather than generic recommendations. The location is one of the hotel’s strongest assets. Situated right in the heart of Berlin, it is extremely convenient to nearby train and transit stations, making it easy to get around the city. The surrounding neighborhood is excellent, with a wide selection of very good restaurants and numerous small pastry and coffee shops. On days when I wanted a simple bite and a warm refreshment, I discovered Fresh Bäckerei, located about a five-minute walk from the hotel. Everything was freshly baked, and the staff there were genuinely delightful—an easy, welcome find during my stay. My room was well suited to a longer stay—comfortable and appropriately sized for a 10-day visit, with a spotless bathroom, good amenities, and a high standard of cleanliness maintained throughout the hotel. Everything felt orderly and dependable, which is especially important on an extended trip. Breakfast at the hotel was also a highlight. The dining room offered a generous and well-organized selection, and the quality—especially the pastries—was notably good. It was an easy, unhurried way to start the day and compared favorably with other European city hotels in this category. This is a dependable, well-located hotel that prioritizes comfort, cleanliness, and professionalism over unnecessary frills. I would stay here again and recommend it to travelers looking for a calm, efficient base in Berlin-Mitte.
