My boyfriend and I stayed here for 9 days at the end of March, and thought it was just wonderful! It is a budget boutique hotel, but really offers a very nice experience. It is on a main street equidistant from the center of Prenzlauerberg (the hipster center where there are a million restaurants, bars, and shopping options) and Alexanderplatz (one of the central plazas of Berlin.) You cannot get a better location if you want to be within walking distance of great food, and the main subway lines. The M4 tram is directly in front of the hotel, which makes getting pretty much anywhere a breeze.
The staff was beyond helpful with suggestions for places to go, as well as just generally friendly and welcoming.
The breakfast was bountiful and delicious - cheeses, meats, yogurt, cereals, sausages, juices, coffee. And to boot, the breakfast is served until noon, so you can sleep in after a long night out, and still have fresh food right down the hallway!
The rooms are "European sized" - meaning, they're pretty small. We were comfortable, and felt that the size was very fair for the price. The rooms were kept clean and the hanging shelves allowed for plenty of storage space. No, this is probably not the hotel where you should stay on your honeymoon, but for a week away with friends or a boyfriend where you don't want to spend a ton of money, this should be your number one choice! read more
