“I recently stayed at this hotel and was really pleased with the central location - it made exploring the area a breeze. The rooms were clean and tidy, which was a big plus for me. While the decor and furnishings might be a little outdated, everything was still in good condition and functional. The breakfast spread was fantastic, with a great selection of options to start the day. The check-in process was also super smooth, even when I arrived outside of the normal check-in time - kudos to the staff for being so accommodating. All in all, I thought the hotel was great value for the money. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable stay in the area.”
“Great location, right next to the Subway and close to Tiergarten park and Zoo We came in early in the morning after a long trip, Mr. Evgeny (the manager) was Very kind in setting our tão bedrooms and allowing an early check in, he staff was Very friendly They have a breakfast (which I didn't expect with the value we paid) and really spacious and clean rooms, with a Nice view of the Square. One of the best cost/benefit placas I haver ever been”
“Staff extremely helpful and location perfect- subway station and bus stop steps from hotel along with bakery, grocery store and Italian restaurant next door. Also food trucks in latter part of week. Would stay here again!”
“This place was great and perfectly located, my family and I took a trip on a whim to Berlin to site see and this is the place we chose. In the beginning it was not really easy to find, but once we found the place it was great. The building in shared with a couple different businesses and there was not an elevator working but once I got up to get us check in it was fine. The lady that checked me in was very polite and professional. She showed me where the parking garage was and even offered to help with the bags, but I did decline, I could handle it. We have 2 babies with us and they already had a pack n play setup for us. When I finished parking and unloading this lady sat down with my oldest daughter and I, explained breakfast times, gave us a good map of Berlin and spent the next 30 minutes telling us the major historical spots and main attractions and how to get to them. Impeccable service, we will stay there again! The room was spotless and very comfortable. There was bedroom and living area separate which was what we wanted with three kids. Both room connected with the bathroom with separate doors. Absolutely !”
