I chose this hotel primarily because of its location near friends in the neighborhood. It is in a quiet location across the street from the park. Excellent access to public transportation, but a half hour walk will get you to the center. There is no elevator/lift -- so know this when you are booking your room. The bed was comfortable and everything serviceable (although, the shower did leek). The day and early evening receptionists were beyond terrific -- helpful, accommodating, just lovely. The young woman who worked the Friday & Saturday shift was marvelous. She went beyond the call of duty to be helpful. The breakfast was exactly what you would expect in a nice German three star hotel -- enough choice and really excellent breads and a nice selection of cheeses and meats. On the down side, my room was characterized as for business travel, which is odd because there was no desk and no place that was convenient to work (only a wicker chair and a low table in a part of the room without very good lighting), although there seemed to be plenty of business people at breakfast. All in all, a charming place with funky decor and a packet of gummi bears on the pillow instead of chocolates-- I will stay here again when I'm visiting friends. Well done, all.
