When in Berlin visit KaDaWe and go directly to the 6th floor. There you will find gourmet food…read morecounters and restaurants. It's similar to Harrods in London or the magnificent department stores found in Tokyo. Oh my! You can get anything here! Amazing pastries, high end chocolates, charcuterie, huge cheese counters, smoked fish of all varieties, fine wines, specialty restaurants and much, much more. We enjoyed delicious crab sandwiches. I think they may have been the best sandwiches i ever had. Stop reading and get over to KaDeWe right now. Highly recommend.

It's huge and an absolute treat shopping here and I haven't even discussed the two food floors on 6 & 7. Wow. The quality of their offerings is impressive and upscale while also somewhat eclectic as well. We also found their prices to be fair and not obnoxious. Service throughout the store, is old style personal and friendly. We were always warmly greeted, in a sincere way. Nice!

This place is amazing. Huge, clean, well lit, has everything…read moreyou want, a legit sale section, and the prices are totally decent. Definitely the German version of Target, but it seems like that only applies to this location only (see my review of the other Woolworth down the street on Kottbusser!). I'm glad I live next door, definitely amazing!

People say that Karstadt has everything. When I ask someone where he or she thinks I can find…read more(insert obscure item here) the answer is almost alway Karstadt. And the recommendation is almost always right. It's a little price-y here, but sometimes it can be worth it. There's also a post office, a grocery store, a DM, and a Hugendubel in here. All your needs in one place.

Date of visit: May 31, 2024…read more We were staying near this store while in Berlin and stopped in to see what it was about. For the Americans reading this, it was in the vein of Macy's or maybe even a step above, like a Dillard's or Nordstrom's. The store was in very nice condition, from the floors to the fixtures and general upkeep of the store. The prices on the clothing were definitely out of my realm, especially once factoring in the exchange rate from the Euro! I was a little bummed that there wasn't anything affordable that I could bring back for myself, especially a brand that you don't see here in the States, but that just wasn't happening. The one section you should check out is the candy and food as those prices seemed far more reasonable for what you were getting. As we still had two countries to go, we opted not to purchase anything here; had Berlin been our final stop, I would have selected some things to take home as souvenirs. Despite spending 20-25 minutes in the store, not a single employee approached or interacted with us in any way, even the severe-looking woman working just a couple tables away from us in the men's clothing section. Guess she knew I wasn't going to buy anything, either!

Oh my. This place right here... heavenly…read more If you are looking for the perfect place to go to get the highest quality, eco friendly, hipster homewares this is the place for you! Yes be prepared to spend a ton of time and money here... not gonna lie it was quite expensive and I get lost in all of the nicknacks I never knew I desperately "needed" haha - BUT also prepare yourself to have your creative/crafty, granola crunchy, top shelf liquor drinking, bio-everything, swank tailored suit wearing, leather bound books reading side of you come out. NO SHAME! My consumerist came out in full swing. They set a new standard for life haha one a bit out of a my personal budget but Hey I'm still allowed to hangout in the men's suit area smelling the leather and attempting to looking adorable right? Loved this place wish I could have bought all of the things.

Inside, a vast improvement over the US version: Way better looking clothing items, a far nicer interior build out and the same cost-conscious approach to retail goods. I got a nice messenger bag for my laptop among other small purchases in my first trip there. Great location right near the Ubahn station too.

This is a traditional German "pension style" hotel for people that aren't traveling on business and…read moreare looking for something more relaxed. Perfect for a family vacation in my view. For comparison I have stayed at the SwissHotel in Berlin center, which is a nice stylish hotel, located directly in the middle of the city. Perfect if you have business nearby, but a SwissHotel is the same in any city in the world. In contrast, Haus Leopold is in an actual neighborhood of Berlin (Zehlendorf is my favorite part of Berlin, but that is because my father grew up here and I spent many summers here). In the morning kids walk past on their way to school, people commute to work and ride their bikes to the supermarket. Nothing like that happens in center city Berlin. This hotel is quiet, with generous rooms (there is even a room with 4 beds for a family). The owners are very helpful and the breakfast (included) is very generous. If you have a rental car, there is free parking and the location is close to Route 115, which encircles the city, so it's great for trips to Potsdam, Wannsee, center city Berlin, etc. If you enjoy biking, the bike baths in all of Berlin are well identified and maintained. I think biking is one of the best ways to explore all that the city offers.

Calling the emergency number: we reached the receptionist who guided us to the drop box and code that held our keys. It's a nice clean hotel that seems like a transformed house.
