Great hotel! We recently stayed for four nights in a medium apartment, which ran about $600USD.
The room included a very comfortable bed (German style, with two twins side-by-side), a desk, and a mini kitchen that included a small fridge, a set of dishes and silverware, a stovetop, and a small dishwasher. The room was bright, clean and very comfortable.
PROS:
- clean and very chic for the price
- very friendly and helpful staff
- excellent location, near public transportation
- very reasonably priced
- in-room safe
CONS: (All very minor)
- Breakfast is pretty expensive. The selection is extensive, but at 15€/20ishUSD, it's a bit too expensive. There are lots of great breakfast spots in Berlin, so think about going elsewhere.
- Room pictures of the website did not necessary reflect the type of room you may actually receive. I booked an M apartment after looking at the pictures. The room didn't look quite like the pictures, however. There was, for example, no small sofa and the only seating was a desk chair. The kitchen had table settings for two people, but the only table was a desk and there was only one chair. Consequently, the second person would have to eat standing or sitting on the bed. Of course, this isn't a huge deal, but if you're traveling with a partner and plan on preparing (or at least just eating) some meals in the hotel, perhaps you could ask reception for an additional chair.
- Housekeeping woke us up at 9:00AM two mornings. Perhaps there are a lot of business travelers who leave the hotel early in the morning, but we were two tourists who prefer a leisurely pace. At any rate, this is nothing a do-not-disturb can't take care of.
All in all, we'd love to stay here again!
Also, if you're in the area, try Dolores (Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße 7) for pretty authentic California-style burritos and The Barn (Auguststraße 58) for amazing coffee.
