This was the first time stopping in this hotel and there was some trepidation due to a couple of negative reviews. We need not have worried. The hotel is excellently situated and surrounded by many amenities and transport links. It is a short walk to the bustling Ku'damm shopping area, Zoo and major transit terminal.
The staff were very welcoming and always accommodating, and multilingual. The initial impression was of a small narrow building, but it is spacious and very easy to navigate. Cleaning was carried out regularly, both inside and outside the rooms. The rooms were basic but pleasant with excellent facilities. Irons and boards are available on request. There is a tv, safe and plenty of power points. The aircon is very good and was definitely needed during our stay as the temps hit 36°. The bathroom was furnished with a toilet, bidet, wash basin, bath with an integrated shower, and was again very spacious.
Next to reception they lay on water with fruit and mint for guests, and there is an enclosed seating area with cover for anyone that smokes.
On the first floor there is a 24hr vending machine supplying snacks, soft drinks and some alcoholic selections.
All in all, this was a very good hotel and I believe would suit anyone on a short break to this beautiful city as long as you are not deluded to think that the Savoy in London is the benchmark.
Thank you.
