Comfortable stay
I stayed at the Sorat Hotel for 3 nights in August. The room was large and comfortable, with a large TV, desk, armchair and fan. There was a kettle with sachets of tea, coffee and milk in the room. In the morning complimentary croissants and coffee were available in the reception area. The staff were helpful and polite. The wi-fi was more than suitable for my needs. The hotel was easy to find, just 4 minutes walk from Wittenbergplatz u-bahn station. It is located in a central location so it is easy to get around the city either by train, u-bahn or bus. I had a very pleasant stay and I would recommend this hotel.

I had a great time at the Sorat hotel. The property was in close proximity to both the U and S Bahn which made public transportation during the stay (to / from the airport and to / from various tourist destinations) convenient and hassle free. I felt very safe in the hotel and neighbourhood, and had a great experience interacting with all of the staff. The room was comfortable. Would recommend.

Dear Guest, first of all please accept our apology for your experience, our hotel has just recently reopened after being closed for the past 8 months due to extensive refurbishments. Due to the current situation we had to move our opening date and were still closed when you were expected to arrive. We had arranged for an alternative accommodation for you through Hotels.com, unfortunately you never seem to have received their message and thus stood in front of closed doors. Again, we are terribly sorry for this miscommunication and would be more than happy if you would give us another chance at our newly reopend SORAT Hotel Berlin. Best Regards Alexander Voigt

The receptionist first gave a key and said that it’s no smoking room. The room horribly smelled cigarettes. I asked to change as I don’t smoke and I booked non-smoking room (who still has smoking room?). The receptionist was very rude and he didn’t even apologize and offered twin room only (which is not a double room that I booked). So, overall not pleasant checkin experience. Be ready for troubles if you don’t wish to stay in smocking room.

We apologize for any inconvenience and feel so sorry about your negtive check-in-impressions.In 28 of our 218 rooms smoking is still allowed. You can send us your preference in advance, but please note that this is a non-binding wish. And of course we do our best to fulfill this wish! But unfortunately, some guests disregard the smoking ban... and so it might happen that you get a non smoking room with the smell of cigarettes, although our hardworking housekeeping team did everything they could to remove the smell from the room. We kindly ask for your understanding and send best regards from Berlin.

It had everything we needed just the hotel was a bit dated, tired and rough around the edges. The beds were not great very soft from them being quite old. Some of the rooms were smoking we asked for non-smoking but could smell quite a strong odour from nearby rooms in our own room. Some of the rooms appeared upgraded but not ours so can only go on what I experienced. Staff were friendly and helpful. The price was reasonable. Still a good location if a bit further away than some of the other hotels.

Thank you very much for sending us your impressions about your little break here in Berlin. You are absolutely right, we offer smoking as well as non- smoking rooms: by using the remark box you can send us your non-binding preference and we will give our very best to fulfill this. To improve your next stay, we highly recommend booking one of our renovated comfort rooms. They are also equipped with a coffee-tea-set and you`ll have free access to the lobby-fridge with water, juice, softdrinks and beer, unlimited. We are pretty sure, you like this room type!

Will be back !
Just got back from Berlin ( Very impressive city, I''ll be back ) Stayed in the Ambassador for a thoroughly enjoyable week. Reception staff friendly and helpful , as where the housekeeping team. Hot water and water pressure always there on demand, ( One of my pet gripes on my travels is having to juggle with the shower until it stops freezing or scalding) I don't see anybody mention the quality of the beds in review. Fine big bed , and the best sleep I've had for years , and my spine is extremely grateful for that. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for it's standards and location. There are references to poor wi-fi on here, but I found the signal strength to be problematic in several places in the vicinity of the hotel !

Very nice location, close to train station. But as temperatures in summer can get really hot, like it just did 38c, the heat in the room is almost unbearable as there is no air conditioning and windows won’t open properly. Also, WiFi at night with all the guests gets really slow, takes several minutes to load a page. Tv’s remote control not working properly, batteries dying probably.

Never again.
Internet connection was essentially non existent; for someone traveling on business, that is unacceptable. Staff response to complaints was: "We know. We are working on it." They've been 'working on it' for months (last stayed here in September. Same issue.) Combine that with a complete lack of air conditioning during a heat wave which necessitated keeping the windows open in an effort to cool the room and housekeeping who kept closing the window and opening the drapes during the day thereby adding to the heat in the room . . . uncomfortable doesn't come close to describing it. Icing on the cake: surly staff members; construction and noise on the street outside making it difficult to sleep. Net conclusion: Never again.
Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019
Response from sorat on 4 Jul 2019
Please be assured that we are working really hard to improve the Wifi. We deeply regret that it did not work smoothly during your stay. The construction noise also surprised us a lot and had not been announced in advance. Luckily it seems to be over now! We really hope to turn your "never again" into a "will come back", and we will try our very best to offer you a much more comfy stay.

The hotel is ideally situated for eating out, shopping and easy access to transport links. The breakfast was magnificent. Nothing was missing and the choice of food was great. The staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was very nice. My only criticism, is that I would have liked an extractor fan in the bathroom. I will stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone.

Great location, friendly staff and big rooms
Checking in was quick and simple. The receptionists were very friendly. There is a bar next to the reception desk open until midnight and a vending machine next to the lifts. If you do not have tea and coffee making facilities in your room, there is also a vending machine for hot drinks there too. The tourist information stands are very well stocked, and all of the leaflets are up to date. It is the most comprehensive stand I have seen in a Berlin hotel and they also have some fabulous wallet sized tourist information cards and even a little map. Finally, there are two good sized lifts up to your room. I stayed in room 406, which is a Standard Double Room. This did not have a mini-bar or tea and coffee making facilities. I think the more expensive rooms do. It is a good-sized room. You wouldn’t feel claustrophobic here. The décor was a little tired looking, but very clean. There are two chairs, a desk, 55cm TV with remote, TV guide, bench/suitcase ledge, double wardrobe and a very modern bathroom and toilet. The Windows fill a whole side of the room and look out over the back of the adjacent buildings. I stayed for ten days and housekeeping came every day. The room was spotless, and I think the bed linen was changed daily. The bed came with two single quilts and two pillows, a big one and a little one. The bed was comfortable, and the pillows were just right. I’m a not a heavy sleeper and I found it very quiet, with very little noise from the lift or other residents.

Lovely Hotel
A fantastic all round hotel that prides itself on its cleanliness. For any balmy summer evenings it has an outside decking area to enjoy a relaxing drink. I love the hotel for many reasons one coming to mind is the quality of the mattresses in the room, they are nice and firm allowing a peaceful nights sleep. The hotel is virtually in the centre and the local ubahn is within 50 metres walking distance. The highlight to finish the holiday is how convenient it is to get to Tegel airport. 40 yards away you can get the 100 number bus for a few stops to Zoo Gardens then change there for the bus to Tegal Airport. Whole journey from hotel takes an average of 35 minutes all for a few euros.

The staff were polite and amenable. They were receptive and responsive to anything I needed. The room however, was surprisingly small, 10'X12' plus the bathroom, with two fixed twin beds (can't be pushed together as in photo). If space is not an issue, the size of this room may be fine for you. There is also no bathroom vent/fan so you rely on the room windows to air the place out. I think this hotel is ideal for solo travelers.

Unfortunately we cannot see in which room you stayed. But we think it was one of the standard category, right? Most of these rooms offer a double bed, some twin beds. Room size: 18 - 22 qm. Our renovated comfort rooms are a bit more spacious: 20 - 26 sqm. Maybe a good idea for your next stay?

Pictures are misleading, this place is nasty
This place was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. I don't know when those pictures on hotels.com were taken, but my room looked like it hadn't been updated or cleaned since the 70s. - Staff was not friendly and not helpful - Room was GROSS - There was carpet going up the wall about half of a foot, half of it was peeling off the wall leaving this gross yellow stain from the glue behind it. - Room was not vacuumed prior to my stay - The beds were horribly uncomfortable - Beds didn't even come with sheets -- just a cheap comforter - You get one pillow for each twin bed -- But it's not a normal sized pillow, its a half pillow. - Pillow cases didn't even fit pillows, so pillow cases are tied up in a loose knot at the end, usually still wet from wash (and not neatly). - Bed smelled like cheap mens cologne. - There were dead bugs all over the window sill - The outlets in the bathroom don't work - Really gross side table next to the bed that was poorly glued to the wall, all kinds of stains, super gross to have to put my head next to every night - Everything was sticky. Even the walls. - Some lights didn't even have lamp shades - Location sucked -- This I blame on hotels.com -- I asked for a hotel in Mitte, and this was most definitely not in Mitte. I should have double checked, but I trusted hotels.com. Lesson learned. I have pictures of these things, but hotels.com won't load them. I will never stay here again.

Of course we apologize for any inconvenience, and we feel so sad when reading your horrible comments. This is not the way we want to treat our guests, and not the kind of product we want to offer. Unfortunately we cannot find out in which room you stayed, but of course we will inform the housekeeping staff. There is just one tiny aspect we cannot understand: the easiest way to improve things is to mention them immediately..., not days after your stay with no chance to optimize it...
