Nothing special , but a very good hotel for a touristic Berlin trip - just a minute or two walk off the usual tourist tracks , therefore a hidden gem, nice and quiet.

Super convenient stay
The location is very convenient: minutes from Alexander Platz, Friedrich strasse and Unter den Linden. Minutes from U5 and U2 stations. Very secure area as the hotel is adjacent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Quiet and nice neighborhood in Mitte with great restaurants. Regular rooms are fair but a bit small. Next level up, rooms are more spacious. Overall simple, clean and no-frills hotel located super conveniently in the heart of Berlin Mitte.

Nice hotel in city center
Nice hotel in city center, but need some upgrades. Rooms very different - our friends had a pantry with a mini fridge, ours didn’t even have a fridge.
But: Comfortable beds, quiet location, nice breakfast. Fun gadget: a minibar robot that came to your room upon request.
Value for money ok.

The stay was excellent. I really appreciate efficiency, the quiet and cleanliness of the hotel. The one thing I found disconcerting is that there is no interior lock or chain or deadbolt on the room door.

Really liked this property, only thing is and I think that it would be the same staying anywhere in Berlin it is about 20 mins away from anything, 20 mins to most places, 20 mins from food, 20 mins from a bar. But with such a massive city this can happen
