I leave Hotel Luc with mixed feelings - I’m really quite sad about the state of the paper-thin bed covers. Very disappointing for a new hotel. Here are my impressions and photos:

Pros:
  • Upgraded many days in advance to a Corner Suite - this stuck at check-in
  • Really lovely views of Berlin
  • Lots of seating areas - corner couch was decently comfortable
  • Shower pressure was good
  • Brought some truffles and cake bites as a welcome gift
  • Given a voucher for a spritz in the bar, which was honestly quite good
  • Offered late checkout proactively - I declined due to my train schedule
  • Staff was friendly - they told me a whole story about potatoes

Neutral:
  • Elite breakfast was odd - small buffet plus a la carte - confusing that bacon was not inserted into omelet - pancake was unique but overly dense and kind of hard to chew - given a €0 check to sign - croissant on buffet was really good, though

Cons:
  • The bed - first off, the covers didn’t even fit the mattress as they were only tucked in on one side - the covers were way too thin - mattress seemed overly firm - even pillows felt off (slightly hard?)

I would give the Westin in the area another chance before coming back here due to the bed.
