I’ve spent many nights in hotels in and around Berlin, but this one unfortunately tops my list of negative experiences. The main issue is that the hotel seems focused on fancy touches while failing to get the basics right. Our first room had a window barely 30 cm wide and it couldn’t be opened. We had to call reception just to get someone to unlock it. The second room wasn’t much better: the bed...
My Event
The hotel itself is fine, and despite being on a main road, traffic noise isn’t an issue at night. However, there are two downsides that really affect the stay. The traffic light at the nearby intersection makes a constant ticking sound that’s clearly audible even with the windows closed and becomes especially annoying at night, impacting sleep quality. Additionally, the lobby service is extreme...

Super charming hotel with a beautiful design. Hands down the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in in Germany—finally a real double mattress with no gap, and pillows that actually support your neck. Interesting food, friendly service, and genuinely cool amenities. Would absolutely stay again.
