Nestled in the vibrant heart of Berlin's Schöneberg district, the ArtHotel Connection stands out as a prime accommodation choice for gay travelers and their allies.

Good luck getting them to reply to an email or a contact form. I’ve been waiting over a month. So many follow ups too. Listings on Agoda and booking.com very confusing and state different room types with different names etc. website specifically states to get in touch if you want to ask any questions or need any help… but good luck! Poor customer service always sours the taste buds more than anything else.

PHOTOS ATTACHED which can clarify my review… I waited almost one month to write this review because I wanted the hotel to have an ample opportunity. I have EXHAUSTED every single method of communication with this hotel in an attempt to contact them regarding a stay here. I have sent 2 contact forms, 4 emails, I have messaged on Facebook and also sent (now) 5 instagram dms. I have even commented on Facebook and Instagram posts asking them to please respond to my attempts of contact and I have had absolutely ZERO response from this hotel on ANY platform. I live overseas in SE Asia and cannot make international phone calls with my provider, so the other 5-6 methods of communication made me think I’d get a response, but no. Nothing. I’m SO disappointed 😢 genuinely I am. I wanted to stay in this hotel so badly but unfortunately they just for some reason literally will NOT communicate with their customers. It’s my first ever trip to Europe as part of a celebratory holiday and I really wanted to stay here, so I am devastated that after almost a month of trying.. I just cannot get through to these people. Very sad.

I have been staying at this hotel on my visits to Berlin ever since 2012. It's a like a home from home. Always a pleasure to see the same staff and the owner. Nothing is too much for them. It's a great retreat with a good choice of different size rooms, and the breakfast is excellent.

We joined this hotels "queer tours for all" on a Tuesday (meant to be open "for anyone that loves queer people"). The interior space is beautiful, the staff is wonderful, and Mal our tour guide tailored an experience that we won't soon forget. We got to choose, as a group, 1 of 3 tours on offer and hang out with some locals who also joined for aprox. 2 hours. Mal made tons of recommendations for things to do, places to hang out or eat. The only downside is that we couldn't do all 3 tours! We highly recommend staying at this hotel and doing their Tuesday tour with Mal!

I went in the queer Kiez tour by mal that they do every week hosted by the hotel. It was an absolutly amazing tour and I would recommend it to anyone! Wheter you know Berlin already or are visiting for the first time, you will for sure learn something, probably quite a lot. So beautiful to hear how entangled berlin and its queer history are! If you dont join the tour, you'll miss out, I swear!
