I'll bet they have added this after complaints from a vociferous guest or two.
We can all strike this property off the list for Berlin now. Boycott it until it gets a waffle maker.

Too funny.
That said, I noticed something similar for a HS i have reserved for this weekend. Where this message appeared is a message telling me that the outdoor patio and dining area would be undergoing renovations starting September 9 until November??. This is actually quite important to me as we are a group of 18 going to a football game and instead of tailgaiting after the game, we head back to the HS and are given half the dining room and outdoor grill to continue our tailgating inside. If we got to the hotel and found this area closed, I would be castigated mightily by the group.
But no waffles, well not quite so important. what is the saying, first world problems??

They serve pancakes. Which are better than the waffles IMO. In fact, everything about the breakfast served at the Berlin property is better than what is offered in the States.

Great stay - even without waffles
Stayed here last night. As a Diamond VIP they treated me and my family very well. We took the Bus 109 from TXL airport, and it was quick and easy to locate the property. The staff were friendly, and it was overall a great stay.

Public transportation was easy & inexpensive to the Hampton
If you are flying to TXL, this hotel is outstanding. About a 5 minute walk to the bus 109 stop and the Unlandstrasse terminus of the U1 subway line. The 109 is direct to TXL, not an express, but probably about 20 minutes and runs frequently.
From the hotel www site --
Public Transport
From Berlin Tegel (TXL) airport, use bus 109 torwards S+U Zoologischer Garten via Kurfrstendamm. Get off at U-Bahnhof (subway station) Uhlandstrae and cross Kurfrstendamm towards you should have a BMW dealership on the right-hand-side. Walk down the street for approximately 200 meters we are located right behind the bridge.
