“Location is a real asset; being moments from Checkpoint Charlie makes sightseeing remarkably easy. Rooms are modern and generally well-equipped, though some have quirky design choices, like inconveniently placed TVs and scarce outlets, however, I noticed bike rentals, so you can discover Berlin in an ecological way. For those prioritizing location and don't mind some design trade-offs, this could be a smart base.”
