Hotel Columbia

Hotel

It is unethical and a blatant cash-grab to have a mandatory bag-check that comes with a charge. You are stealing from the public when you force your customers to check their rucksack, backpack, large purse and then charge them for this, for if they do not they are not permitted into the venue — for which they have already purchased tickets and entry for. It is one thing to request someone to check a large suitcase or cumbersome duffel bag, but to force customers to pay a fee for their personal items is bad business and theft.

Great place but for me it was relatively small. Also the wasn't the best. The show was good though.

Super location for smaller concerts, the toilets are unfortunately a bit small. The delivery of the jacket was not possible, the queue was just endless and the concert almost started.

So next time leave your jacket in the car!

Pleasant atmosphere. Not so extremely overrun. It was quieter and more relaxed. The reading was much better and more relaxed than expected.

Air conditioning out of service when I visited, otherwise, great venue.

It's a really nice theatre and nice for concerts, but the acoustic isn't the best at this place.

Good location, but the sound leaves something to be desired. Until now, the singer's voice has been barely audible. To do this, a car is driven just before admission, where the items that are not allowed to be pure are kept — I find too short-term. Otherwise it is really good, with the outdoor area etc. ^^

Beautiful Location, unfortunately too small for big Events … When full then full and then too little Fresh Air. Otherwise super suitable for smaller Events, but not for the "Rübezahl" Tour.

Nice local spot with solid acoustics. Definitely pretty packed/hard to dance at a sold-out show but fun otherwise!

I find this venue for concerts quite nice. Quite small, but the concerts here have always been a lot of fun. There is also a small outdoor area. In the winter it's just quite annoying to get his jacket. The jacket levy is located in the basement next to the toilets — there is no more getting through there regularly.

The Columbia Theatre is a small and fine venue for concerts, events, etc. Very easy to reach (U6, square of the airlift; Buses 104 and 248). Parking situation not quite so ideal (you have to be lucky…).
Professional and friendly/helpful security.
:) clean. With small garden. Drinks on site.
The concerts there are more suitable for a small audience (nothing compared to the Columbiahalle).

The local is commendable, great and welcoming. The sound of the room is exceptional.

Slow getting people in. You have to stand in the pouring rain as there is little cover. No contingency plan to cope with a slow slow process of entry. Door staff not that helpful and half hearted. Shame no one cares enough to keep stairway clear so that movement was at least possible for exit or if required or even a simple task like visiting the toilet.

Small Cozy Hall. Were at the concert Kuzmin. Liked. Parking is not a problem.

All right, just please let the wheelchair drivers in at events. The one who is standing is looking forward to being cool on stage and then coming to wheelchairs and coming forward. And that's stupid, too. Drinking after a concert doesn't go any more. Everything is too not great there.
PS: If it is cold outside you can hopefully let the waiting fans in the warm or?
I'll go back anyway.

Small. Big lines on entry without opening second door (cold weather). Hard to get to WC and cloakroom.

Good location for concerts. Unfortunately, it will always be damn crowded as soon as it is sold out. There is also the problem that for years the wardrobe has been stationed in the far too narrow cellar — that is, long lines in very narrow hallways. There are signs that something is changing, but the listed building is not so easy to master.
View of the bands is wonderful, as the former theatre has a few more steps. A large area next to the hall is also provided for smokers.

… to get to the enclosure is very comfortable, by metro you get very well, once inside the room is familiar with just the right capacity to achieve a fantastic atmosphere, the sound is impressive and feels at home… VERY GOOD.

So concert by Erasure was suuuuuper. We are very happy to be in the Columbia Hall. However, we were very shocked at how full it was. We haven't seen such a full hall at any concert. Otherwise we are soooo insanely strict with regulations. Yesterday, not just one eye, but a damn many were closed. Even in the last row zero space to stand. An absolute no go! Thumbs down to the organizer!

Good parking for truck easy load in/out.
Good parking for truck easy load in/out.

Not too crowded considering the venue was completely sold out. Thank you, we had a great time.

Nice staff, relatively small room. The cloakroom is stupidly located in the basement, it’s really hard to access. The sound only come from the scene so it’s a bit too loud in the front and really not enough in the back. The floor is slightly elevated so you can see the scene easily.

No matter which band is here, it immediately creates an "intimate" connection between artists and audiences. Especially with not so much known bands this is just the right "stage"!

Good sound and good places. Only the wardrobe is modest, but to an extreme extent. At a concert it is seldom possible to reach the wardrobe close to the door and then to be back in time for the beginning. Especially if, as so often, the doors are opened 15-40 minutes after the announced time.
The theatre is probably working on a solution.

Brilliant concert! Most horrible organization… Just getting in alone, is a pain in the a**.

Really nice since the renovation, but the security concept leaves something to be desired depending on the concert. At Full House, there were only two types of security on stage. The outdoor area, or "beer garden" is still a nice thing, especially in the summer to catch the air for a short time. Bars are right and left of the stage and again in a side room.

Was really nice and cozy there. Unfortunately, they put the chairs differently. Have bought far ahead and suddenly I had to sit with my partner left in the corner that was frustrating.

A perfect place for concerts with a manageable audience frame.
Good acoustics and from almost every place a good view of the elevated stage.
The outdoor area for fresh air and resting between concerts invites you to linger especially in the summer.

Beautiful little concert hall. I have already experienced many concerts there. The sound system is very good and has a great dynamic. So far, I have only had good experiences with the staff.

Great Hall for concerts! Mine was without chairs accommodate! On the day before, however, a seating event took place and the chairs were not uncomfortable. The acoustics were good! offers a beverage bar and in the Open beer garden a possibility for coffee specialties and food. There it is also possible to smoke! Nice staff.

Great location. Prices are okay. Staff is very nice.

I'd rather like the little sister of Columbiahalle. Punctual start. Good visibility, decent sound. After the concert, the staff will be forced to leave the club quickly.

Super Mega Geil, nice old theatre, I was already three times to the concert! And the snack in the yard is not bad either. I found it here every time good, great vibe with good sound! :)

Nice place but horrible organisation: people standing in the queue since morning became completely trampled by the people who came queueing an hour, maybe two before the show. Everybody's squeezed like shrimps, very dangerous. Not cool!

Old-style venue, was good! Standing was just how you want to see a band. Wasn’t 100% about the sound, but good enough.
Staff were very polite, no problems. A bit smokey at the back though, from people having a crafty puff.
Great location, easy to get to and from, would definitely return.

A very nice location that has its individual charm. Furthermore, the ventilation is very good, so that even at the full House does not create too much heat!

Entrance was very friendly… service at the bar was right… the concert of Adel Tawil was mega and an absolutely cool sound. What I find a bit of a pity… Is… that if there are concerts where children could also be from fans… that there is no devaluation for kids… the go'n there completely under.

Easy access, friendly staff, cosy atmosphere. I was there for a rock concert and enjoyed the evening, my only complaint is that just think the sound (of all 3 bands) did not favor the lead singers. They sounded a bit muffled.

Good view of the stage, even from the back.

A great theater that gets its 50s, 60s look. I felt very comfortable there.

Nice location. Super Bar offer.
Tito & Tarantula were lonely lace.

Fast check-in, nice bar crew. Seating might be a bit uncomfortable after a while. And bad for the last rows. But all in all a good experience.

The show I saw there was great but it was super hot in there and everyone was standing crammed together and it was hard to see the stage. The organization of the event wasn't that good either but I don't know if that was the fault of the venue.

Went there to see Dua Lipa last week. The venue itself is a pretty nice place, great atmosphere and good service at the bars, but worst security I've ever encountered. Before doors opened, roughly 80-100 fans were told to form a line in front of the venue, which was impossible because there was only a narrow sidewalk in front of the place that was already packed. People tried to move back as far as they could, but the guards kept pushing and grabbing people to the point where it bordered on physical violence and I, who stood right in front of a guard, couldn't breathe because I had absolutely no space, some others behind had panic attacks as well. I should mention that most people amongst the crowd were young girls, many of them not even 18 yet. With so few people in comparison to other venues, there are so much better ways to handle the situation, this was absolutely unacceptable and unless changes will be made, I'm afraid I'll have to avoid this place in the future.

Cool venue, clean floors and clean people (more than can be said for most UK venues), line is too long for the cloakroom though.

A very good alternative venue for mid-career concert. The floor has built-in stairs that allow everyone to see the stage without problem. The sound could be a little better, but I never was disappointed!

The concert of medicine for the people was beautiful. The room is wide enough, you breathe very well and the stage is clearly visible from any point of the room because the same has bleachers that avoid inpicci how much nn you are very high.

Beautiful smaller venue. Platforms down to the stage meaning even short arses like me get to see something! Sound could be better.

Pretty bad experience here. Huge construction going on outside while my parents were staying. They should have notified people beforehand.

The hotel is absolutely gruesome. The establishment is years at least from the 70s, since nothing has been modernized. The carpets are all dirty and expired. It smells like toilet in the House. The rooms are very narrow and dirty. We had dirty paint and small creatures (bugs) in our bed. The towels were not washed. After our event, we have departed without there to stay. Unfortunately we have encountered anyone against 23: 00, so that we are attempting to obtain a complaint of the room rate, by email. Unfortunately no chance… the staff is very unfriendly and comes toward us not now not responding to our emails.
Also it seems to me that the ratings for this hotel are fake. Never they can be so good so bad hotel. So watch out! Book the best hotel because price is wrong.

I was there with a friend on new year's Eve 2015, and can not recommend the hotel, for several reasons. The only thing speaks for this hotel is the good connections (underground course of the air bridges) and thus a good location to get anywhere fast. Free parking is available, even though you may be running out late.
The first disaster in this hotel was already driving. We arrived at 4: 00 in Berlin, and we have been told that the rooms were not ready yet. It would still cleaned. Sorry, but you can't. We still wanted out, and therefore the CheckIn should be not even at night. At our request, a room was free, so that we could ever bring up our stuff. Well, for that you had dressed so long, you didn't. Hair in the bathroom, dust and dirt on the windowsill, dirt in many corners. The bed linen was clean, but still smelled like anything. Disgusting.
Rooms, you can only say there is hardly any space. And the Blender photos show a room, what was once new years ago here on the Internet and on the hotel portals. Otherwise, there are Windows that incorrectly go to, and have the good 30 years under his belt. The PuTTY to peel out, and the handles are shaky or broken. At my friend's window will not go up, but was repaired on our complaint and.
The rooms are quite closely. Properly move can hardly, because somewhere, what stands in the way. There are showers that are larger on U-boats!

Rooms are clean but from the last century, everything old u writing-the Bad as well. Staff is friendly. Window keep the noise by no means back-nights totally restless. No Air-Conditioning. Breakfast Note 3.

I can this Hotel in any way recommend! We were last weekend for a night there, we are very friendly have been received and the Check in went smoothly and quickly. We then have our room and got a big shock, while it was all clean but the whole inventory was very old, and writing. We had first sat down on the bed, we had to find that the mattress entirely by was located and the bed at the slightest movement loud creaking noises. The bathroom and the walls were very writing heavy and oily. We are then down to the front Desk for a new room zufragen, the answer came promptly, they said no and put us each 2 Ohropax. I've also never experienced. After a very short night, we are for Breakfast went, it was fairly ok. Conclusion for 69 euros can be much more comfortable in Berlin to spend the night.

Super atmosphere, if the favorite stars occur.

Good Hotel, Friendly staff and people. Strong Breakfast. The bathrooms, however, could ne renovation need the Free Wi-Fi is like this however :).

From the outside not so great, but absolutely friendly staff, a great Breakfast buffet, and in the class of perfectly good (albeit small rooms) to make the appearance of the facade is always up for it. Free Parking and metro station in the immediate vicinity complete the picture. With Internet booking, you pay instead of 105, — € only 98 € for a double room incl. Breakfast for 2 nights. Since the Hotel is Conveniently located, of course, also the traffic noise. The bathroom could a renovation stand. The rooms are freshly renovated and come with satellite TV. An electric kettle is also available and pre-ground coffee and tea are available. We have 3 beautiful days in Berlin spent. We can the Hotel thoroughly recommend and would book again.

We had a terrible experience. Staff rude and borderline aggresive. Most do not speak english. The hotel is in front of a very noisy roundabout so do not forget your earplugs. In the end we were also asked to buy 10 euros for phone calls we had not made. For this price you can get much better in Berlin. Only the breakfast was ok.
