Different, but Nice

The place does not match the image in the advert, so it was very confusing finding the location. Also, the room in the picture and the real room are quite different - this room is a bit larger than a closet. However, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the lounge downstairs is nice, offers good coffee/espresso, and is comfortable. The room and bath were impeccably clean and the bed comfortable.

Practical location, near U-bahn station and on a quiet residential street. Friendly and helpful staff. Modern facilities and quiet room. Only comment would be that the toilet was a nose-length from the towel radiator, so very, very awkward to use!

Ideal for Christmas markets

Great hotel to visit the Christmas markets. Ideal for subway. Room was clean, although shower looking a bit tired. Asked for an extra pillow which was soon delivered. Breakfast good but nothing exceptional. Free tea and coffee alll day in the lounge was really useful. Welcome and informative staff at reception.
