Sir Petit

Booked a 3 nights stay at this hotel because I wanted a hotel that would get me points and night credits towards SPG. I had already tried the Westin Grand so I thought I'd give it a try with a Design Hotel.

Location

Ideal location in the Western side of Berlin, just a minute walk from the Savignyplatz S-Bahn stop so it was just perfect. Lots of restaurants around on the same street. From Schönefeld airport, it takes about an hour train and costs EUR 3.40. It's much closer to Tegel.

Hauptbahnhof is on the same S-Bahn line and a few stops away. Very convenient.

Check In

Check-in was rather painless. Had a very short wait as there was one guest with the agent at that time. I arrived at around 6PM. She was very friendly. You can see on the picture that there is just a tiny desk where they have a laptop but they take you to the big table right next to it, sit you there, get you a drink (I took an orange juice) and walk you through the chek-in process there (kind of like some Andaz do).

The front desk doesn't really exist. It's mixed with a bar/sitting area and you would see lots of people having drinks or having dinner there so that's a bit special but nothing off putting. I liked it.

Room

I knew I booked a small room, as the name makes you understand "Sir Petit" and indeed, the room was small. I think it's still ok for a young couple with just small luggages but forget it if you have big bags. There is no space for you to put your suitcase on and open it. You would have to do it on the floor or on the bed... So that's one slightly negative point. Otherwise the design of the room is great, just like the photos. On the darker side but it suits my taste. Check out the photos for more details.

Oh just to mention, the elevator was out of service that day. Had to walk up the stairs with my suitcase, they did offer to help me but I didn't need it.

I had a small balcony, overlooking the interior patio. I didn't hear any loud noise though.

Bathroom: now that's what I didn't really like. The shower and toilets are spearated, that's fine but the shower is ill-designed, as in most recent hotels I've visited. You basically wet the whole floor right outside the shower... despite the door having rubber edges, your floor mat is soaking wet when you're done showering, not the nicest feeling ever to step on a cold wet mat.... They do use fixed bottles of amenities so that's one good point towards the environment and reducing plastic bottles.

Dining

Didn't try eating there and didn't have breakfast there. They do have their own restaurant, called the Butcher. Meat specialties of course and it seemed quite popular as the restaurant was always full when I walked by. It did look quite nice haha.

Overall

Overall great experience, friendly and efficient staff. Well appointed rooms but a bit small. I would maybe try booking one category above this one. I'd definitely stay here again but I also want to try the other Design Hotel options in the city.
