HOTEL AM SCHLOSS KOEPENICK BY GOLDEN TULIP, Berlin

The hotel sits directly on the Dahme river, offering scenic water views and a private jetty for boat trips. The historic Köpenick Altstadt (Old Town) is within walking distance, with cafés, restaurants, and a brewery. Getting around is straightforward: the Köllnischer Platz tram stop is 50 metres away, and Spindlersfeld S-Bahn station is a 10-minute walk. Public transport to central Berlin takes about 45 minutes. The area is quiet and leafy, especially compared to the city centre. The hotel is also 20 minutes by taxi from the airport, making it practical for travellers with flights. Parking is available on site for €10 per night, but cannot be reserved and has a height limit of 1.90 m for the garage. Some road-facing rooms can be noisy from trams and traffic; a room on the back or river side is recommended for quieter rest.

Rooms are generally spacious and feature orthopaedic beds and black-out curtains to aid sleep. Standard king rooms face the street, while comfort king rooms are on the quieter back side and include a minibar. Twin and double rooms have flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, heating, parquet floors, and soundproofing. Some rooms offer river views, which are particularly appreciated for their calming outlook and sunrise light. A number of rooms have dust, mould, or maintenance issues such as loose sockets, dated furniture, and shower curtains instead of screens. Rooms facing the street can be noisy from the tram and traffic, especially in the morning. No rooms have balconies. The property does not have air conditioning; a fan may be available on request. Kettles are not in rooms but can be borrowed from reception.

The hotel serves a breakfast buffet featuring northern German specialities, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available on request. Breakfast is served in a dining room with river views, which is a pleasant start to the day. The buffet is available for €18 per person. The Il Colosseo restaurant offers Italian dishes for lunch and dinner, including pizza and other classics, and is open from 15:00 Monday to Thursday and from 12:00 on weekends. The lobby bar provides cocktails, fine wines, and a snack menu, though some evenings it may be closed. There is also a coffee house on site and a kid-friendly buffet. A few cafés and restaurants are within a short walk in the Altstadt.
