Review from Mark H.
1/1/2011 1 photo
Stayed here for one night on my birthday this past year - had a GREAT time at the Soho House. This is a first-class joint. Everyone was friendly and made me feel at home, even though I am definitely a few years beyond my hipster days.
My "Tiny" room turned out to be larger than most. It was very well stocked with products from the Cow Shed spa downstairs, lots of magazines and even cookies with tea. The room rate was not bad at all. The only small issue I had was when a friend of mine dropped by for a drink - I was told that I needed to tell the front desk BEFORE he arrived about his visit. Soho House is a 'club' hotel and non-members who are not residents are not allowed to visit the bar and restaurant areas on the upper floors. And you can only invite one person if you are a non-member guest. Just an FYI.
Food was excellent here as were the drinks. Had a surprisingly good risotto - a difficulty dish to prepare correctly. Last year I visited hotels in seven nations, ranging from Japan (Tokyo) to Portugal. The Soho House was my favorite. Will definitely return. -

From booking to checking in to just enjoying the hotel and its services, Soho House has 5 stars (and a high five!) from me.
Finding a great rate online, I booked Soho House for my last leg of my German visit (to launch http://Yelp.de might I add!) After getting dropped off by the Taxi at what I thought was a school, I soon realized that in fact, it was my hotel and that the graffiti was actually a Damien Hirst painting. I was soon whisked upstairs - since this was my first time! - to show me my room (massive, stunning), the amenities (wait until you get to the goodies in the bathroom) and shown how to access the free wi-fi.
But there's more: Coffee, tea and cookies are laid out on the credenza, free bottled waters and milk for your hot beverages in the mini bar and an entire BASKET of toiletries in the loo ranging from face wash, deodorant and toothpaste to condoms, tampons and 5 different types of body wash. I was also offered ridiculously low spa treatments as my "Welcome Treat" for being a hotel guest. Upstairs is a pool and 2 floors devoted to a well laid out bar and lounge. The food? The food is delicious and varied from really, really good pizzas (says the girl from NY) to currywurst and chips. You can also rent bikes from the front desk to cruise around Berlin and see the many sights.
A few things to note: housekeeping is VERY intense and will knock on your door, pretend not to hear you and walk in whether you like it or not (or should I say, are clothed or not). You also aren't allowed to be on your mobile phone, take pictures (as Miriam and I found out the hard way as we snapped pics of ourselves on the rotating couch in the lobby. I mean it's a rotating couch. How can you NOT take pictures?!) or wear ties. You are also allowed one visitor per room. Allegedly it adds to the "relaxed" atmosphere. But you know what, I don't mind. And when you see the biggest king sized bed of your life, you won't mind either.Listed in: Hotels, Motels and Where to…

Review from Miriam W.
Consider this simple If-Then statement:
If Berlin is one of the coolest cities in the world
If also the Soho House is the coolest hotel in Berlin
Then the Soho House Berlin is the coolest hotel in the world
Read on for more in-depth analysis.
Arrive and enter this late Bauhaus building, which was once a Communist Party archive, passing a collection of black bicycles for rent near the front door. While checking in with the hip and friendly folks behind the counter, don't miss the Damien Hirst shark on the wall. Just don't try snapping a photo of it as pictures are against house rules.
Take the lift up to your room and you'll soon find yourself ensconced in glamour reminiscent of the 1930's-40's. Designer Susie Atkins has managed to fuse English country florals with German industrial, and as incongruous as it sounds, it works! The aesthetic can only be described as the lovechild which emerges when British B&B meets Ace Hotel.
Wifi is free and works well (still a rarity in these parts.) There's both tea and coffee plus an immersion kettle in the room. And a tin of fresh, complimentary cookies waiting for you. Water, both still and sparkling, are also gratis.
I've stayed in two of the smaller rooms and spent one night in an extra large room playing records and gazing out the windows at Berlin below. Regardless of which of the five room sizes you end up in, it's hard not to love the amenities the Soho House Berlin provides in each and every one of them.
From a bathroom loaded with goodies - mouthwash, deodorant, tampons, condoms, lip balm, ear plugs, plus tons of Cowshed products - to one of the most luxuriant showers I've hung my head under this year, it's hard to find a single flaw. Except maybe the overzealous housekeeping staff who knock even if the sign on the door asks them to leave you be...
Head immediately up to the rooftop pool bar, which is buzzing all night long. Some people swim laps but most guzzle alcohol instead. Great cocktails are to be had here and standouts include the Berlin Mule and the Rag Time.
If you're hungry, there's plenty of room to eat, day or night, on the club floor. Settle into a super plush sofa or snag a seat on the terrace and tuck into pizza, a club sandwich, currywurst or schnitzel. The food is nicely done and utilizes very fresh ingredients.
And when the time comes to unwind, head to the Cowshed Spa in the basement for a massage or a mani/pedi.
It's hard to imagine what this haven of hip could do better and as such the Soho House Berlin is my favourite hotel in the world right now.Listed in: Hot Hotel Picks, Dinner in Berlin's Mitte
