Really liked this super funky, modern hotel. We stayed at the East Side Gallery Indigo the week prior. While that hotel also had a good location, this one just seemed to fit the artsy vibe of Berlin better. It's not a huge room by any means, but it's well organized for maximum efficiency. When we checked in, we opted for a free drink, which the young, friendly lady at checkin poured for us. She confessed that she was running the entire show for the night. We took our drinks up to our spacious veranda overlooking Berlin. Unfortunately , the rain chased us back in before we could enjoy it for long. We were also informed that the mini bar was complimentary. There was just one bottle of beer, but also a rhubarb drink, which seems popular in Germany. There was also a regular and diet coke and two waters. There's not a ton of value there, but it's nice when you've been traveling all day to just pop open the fridge to a cold drink that won't cost you six euro. Charging ports were plentiful and electrical outlets well placed on both sides of the bed and wherever else you really needed them.
Bed felt luxe and was super comfy with nice pillows that didn't pancake like many others. Light switches by the bed to turn everything off. TV was medium-sized and oddly placed in a corner. There are lots of channels, but only a few for English speakers.
The bathroom was bright and modern. Stepping into the shower wasn't super easy, but once you close the door, the rainfall shower was nice and hot with great pressure. Bath towels were some of the largest I've encountered, but not super luxe.
Breakfast buffet had plenty of items to choose from from cereal to museli, a variety of breads and pastires along with fresh smoothies, yogurt options, cold cuts and cheese, hot scrambled eggs and more. They will even cook you eggs to order or pancakes, French toast, and sausage. Loved the fresh squeezed juices, such a treat. You will not leave hungry. It is a well organized buffet, and our server was very friendly and polite. Warning to Americans, milk and juices and kept cool, but not cold by our standards. Ask for ice, if needed. It doesn't come automatically.
Overall, wonderful stay. Loved everything about it. There is a nice restaurant called Thai Elephant about a block and a half walk from the Indigo. Crispy Duck and Massaman curry were great.
