While looking for a Starbucks near the Hilton hotel in which I was staying at during my time in Berlin, I called in this shop fairly close by, as suggested by the same mainly selling the likes of stationary. As I'm aware McPaper is a small chain in Germany and this branch is located on Leipziger Str.
The staff member working here, spoke little (if any) English but she still did seem really helpful, especially considering I didn't end up buying anything and she appeared to struggle speaking English.
The range of the shop was okay, they had a nice selection of lever arch files, which I would have liked to purchase but being limited to room in my suitcase and my past issues with lever arch files (see my reviews for Ryman and WHSmith), I didn't want to take the risk of the products becoming faulty and being unable to return them as I'm of course from Manchester which is a good 900 or so miles from Berlin off the top of my head, and around a 1 hour and 50 minute flight with Ryanair or Easyjet, which I'm currently on as I write this review, returning to my home city.
The range of most products was okay, yet some things would in my eyes be classed as junk, some items were a tad expensive and the staff member working seemed nice enough to warrant a medium to high two star rating. read more
