Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the superb location, with some stepping right out into the Christmas Market, or finding it only 5 minutes from Berlin Hauptbahnhof by S- or U-Bahn. The rooftop bar stands out, offering very nice city views, with the possibility of even spotting the elephants in the zoo from higher floors. Many find the rooms modern, clean, and quiet, also mentioning the effective blackout curtains. Some guests have noted the rooms can be a bit small, though they appreciate the good-sized bathrooms and convenient lighting systems.
