One thing I didn't like was the indicator just outside the room, that shows whether someone is in the room or not. I hope the hotel remove that function, since it does not feel safe.

Appalling. This is at best a 3 star hotel masquerading as a 4 star. For an almost €200/night (post tax) Jr suite my fiancé and I got: A "city view"on the first floor that looked into the courtyard. A "king size bed" that was just two small beds pressed together. Weathered chairs, a mini fridge that didn't work, cheap IKEA furniture that was falling apart with parts that were clearly painted over, and a disgusting bathroom. I've stayed at nicer motels. At least there the price is comesurate with the expected quality.

Super convenient stay

The location is very convenient: minutes from Alexander Platz, Friedrich strasse and Unter den Linden. Minutes from U5 and U2 stations. Very secure area as the hotel is adjacent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Quiet and nice neighborhood in Mitte with great restaurants. Regular rooms are fair but a bit small. Next level up, rooms are more spacious. Overall simple, clean and no-frills hotel located super conveniently in the heart of Berlin Mitte.
Minutes away from the Humboldt Forum, Berlin dome, Alexander Platz and Rotes Rathaus.

Nothing special , but a very good hotel for a touristic Berlin trip - just a minute or two walk off the usual tourist tracks , therefore a hidden gem, nice and quiet.
