Top hotels in Scheunenviertel
Lux 11 Berlin Mitte
Room was spacious and good. But the only problem is there is no room service except for the second night - which is quite disappointing.

Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz
Food and restaurant staff were good. The woman with the blue hair at the front desk was nasty and unhelpful. The room was nice and beautiful view with a great location

Premier Inn Berlin Alexanderplatz
Nice hotel with a great location by Alexanderplats. Clean and comfortable rooms. Did not have breakfast. The cleaner tried to come in early in the morning which was a bit disturbing, otherwise good experience!
