I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the service was lacking and I encountered issues with the broken windows in my room, the location was fantastic and the facilities were top-notch. However, the attempt at fraud during check-out left a sour taste. Despite these drawbacks, the value for money was reasonable.

The hotel is located in a touristy area with all kinds of shops around, but it's right on a busy intersection, making it a bit noisy. The rooms are clean and modern, but two windows were broken, affecting the comfort. The service was lacking as there was an attempt to commit a fraud upon check-out. The dining experience, especially for a meal in Berlin, offered fresh salads but could be improved. The location is convenient, right next to the U-Bahn station, but the noise from outside can be bothersome.

The hotel is perfectly situated right on a busy intersection, making it dynamic with various shops around, but slightly outside the city center. It offers quick access to the metro for easy transportation, yet noise could be a factor due to the location. The service was attentive overall, with a hiccup of an attempted fraud during check-out. The dining options were suitable for a meal in Berlin, even though there were only limited bread choices. The facilities provided were satisfactory, offering the basics required for a comfortable stay.
