In the heart of Berlin’s shining new Potsdamer Platz, amid a sea of futuristic skyscrapers, and sandwiched between the Sony and Daimler Chrysler complexes, the Mandala is something of an oasis. Despite the bustle on the streets below, the atmosphere is anything but harried, with views over the quiet inner courtyard or balconies and terraces taking in the panorama of the city and the Tiergarten Park.
The Mandala’s style is modern, but restrained—the reception is sedate and unassuming, lacking the sort of flamboyant design statement we’re accustomed to seeing in the lobby of a modern boutique. Here it seems the designers’ attention has been focused on the living spaces, rather than the hotel’s public face.
Each of the Mandala’s 166 suites is individually designed, but all are cut from the same modern-elegant cloth, clean and bright but never sterile, a style more suited to a chic apartment than to a flashy hotel. The last thing anyone needs after negotiating the sensory overload of Potsdamer Platz is a “challenging” hotel environment, and the Mandala’s posh livability is a decided asset.
Perhaps most calming is the fifth-floor terrace restaurant, with a retractable glass roof to keep the elements out and let the moonlight in: an intimate 14-table venue, Facil is one of Berlin’s better-kept secrets, serving a sophisticated cuisine in a casual yet stylish setting.
Please note: From June 24th - August 31st, The Mandala Hotel will be closed for construction. The hotel will reopen in September.

What I liked:
beautiful design, large rooms, excellent price-quality ratio, good location.
What the hotel could do better:
It was a funny experience for me because I loved the place and would go back there again however a few things were broken in my room:
- The bulb of one of the bedside lamp fell off on me...
- the toilet leaked water at its basis...
- there was only one very small duvet on a huge bed
- something else was wrong which I forget now.
So I went to Reception and politely asked them to sort it out while I was out at dinner...but when I came back late: NOTHING had been done!

What I liked:
location of hotel, room size
What the hotel could do better:
small and cramped reception and bar, overall poor public spaces, spa that does not have any appointments available for entire weekend, restaurant that is either closed or fully booked for visit, expensive breakfast, cheap carpets, furnishings, semi-working heating/AC infrastructure. certainly not the best, will try something else next time.
