“The location beside the East Side Gallery is, for me, the biggest draw, placing you right in a vibrant slice of Berlin's history. I appreciate the modern design that extends to the rooms themselves, creating spaces that feel more like stylish city apartments than typical hotel layouts. It's a solid choice if you value both aesthetics and being at the heart of a historically rich area.”

Review summary

decent stay with minor issues

convenient location friendly staff stylish decor infrequent cleaning extra charge breakfast cost

the location was convenient for accessing public transport. i found the bus stop right across the street to be particularly useful. the staff at reception were friendly and offered assistance when i needed it. the room decor was stylish and the bathroom size was good (i thought).

the room cleaning schedule was infrequent. i learned that cleaning only occurs once every seven days. i understand that more frequent cleaning is available, but it requires an extra charge. the breakfast wasn't included in the price (something i would have preferred).

Amazing East Side Stay

clean facilities river view convenient cafe considerate staff

The facilities were clean, new, and thoughtfully arranged. I found the river view AMAZING!!! I enjoyed the convenience of having a café right inside the hotel, offering options for quick bites. The staff showed consideration, especially when I had questions about local transport. The room came equipped with nice tea bags, sugar, milk, and salt.

The café downstairs seemed somewhat busy, so finding a quiet spot there was tricky.

Location

The location is ideal. A concert venue is only a short walk from the hotel. Shops are conveniently located outside. The hotel offers easy access to transportation and local attractions, enabling exploration.

Service

The staff proved friendly and accommodating, offering assistance upon arrival. Reception staff readily addressed questions and provided prompt service. They helped with early check-in, so I could settle into my room sooner.

delayed breakfast service disruptive cleaning equipment

The breakfast situation was unacceptable. It was advertised to start at 7:30, but service was delayed significantly. the staff member displayed a lack of responsibility for the breakfast service. the cleaning crew also started using loud equipment early in the morning, i found this disruptive.
