PROVOCATEUR
Art Nouveau-style hotel offering rooms with comfortable beds, marble bathrooms, modern amenities...
Behind its Art Nouveau façade, the Hotel Provocateur lives up to its name, with blood-red corridors that extend into some rooms (in others, less flashy, midnight blue dominates). The provocation is also found in the velvet curtains and the impressive chandeliers. However, this place, which draws its inspiration from the Parisian salons of the 1920s, is not lacking in refinement or elegance. Ultra-comfortable beds, marble bathrooms, modern amenities... Everything is there.

As the staff are very accommodating, a queue can form at reception. The wait can be made pleasant with sweets. :-)
However, my overall satisfaction was somewhat marred by an unexpected issue related to the hotel's billing practices. Upon booking through booking.com, the listed price for the room only. Notably absent from the site's description was any mention of a required deposit. To my surprise, at check-in, I was charged much more than I expected, price included a deposit. While this was unexpected, I was assured upon checkout that the deposit would be refunded to the card used for payment.
The situation took a turn when the hotel's support team informed me that due to a technical malfunction, they were unable to process the refund of the deposit back to my payment card. They requested the details of my bank account, which I promptly provided, expecting a swift resolution. Unfortunately, the promised refund never materialized, and my attempts to follow up via email were met with silence. After submitting a new refund form as requested by the hotel, still, no refund was received. Seeking assistance, I turned to booking.com's support, only to find that my concerns were ignored there as well.
While the Provocateur Hotel Berlin boasts many attributes that make it a desirable choice for a romantic stay, potential guests should be aware of the possibility of encountering issues with undisclosed charges and challenges in receiving due refunds. This experience has highlighted the importance of clear communication and efficient customer service, which, in this case, were lacking.
Die Zimmer sind sehr abgewohnt und dreckig. Jegliche Messingbelege sind verkalkt und angelaufen, Staub und Dreck an allen Wände,… schade. Denn die Bar und das Restaurant sind toll.
