Good location, still decent price, friendly staff and a few draw backs
We received a complimentary upgrade to a Deluxe Room
Location is fantastic with immediate access to both subway and bus services. Only a few stops from Alexanderplatz and Potsdamer Platz. If you do not like public transport lots of sights are in walking distance.
Close to bakery, grocery stores and many restaurants.
Friendly and service minded staff that made us feel welcome.
Service at breakfast was difficult. Unless you want filter coffee, you have to order every other type of coffee from the waiter. This makes for unecessary wait times and kills the flow of the otherwise decent breakfast.
Eggs to order is also a nice touch, but I got mine cold 3 out of 4 times because wait staff is so busy.
In our room we were unable to control the temperature of the water in the shower. The water would go from cold to scolding hot and vice versa no matter what we tried.
We were also unable to control the temperature in our room in a meaningful way. Unless we opened the window the temperature would go up to over 24C during the night. The technical staff looked at it, but that didn't change anything.
The "gym" is just a VERY cramped room with some decent gym equipment in it. Less would have been more here.
