Underwhelming Stay, Some Issues Need Attention

bathroom cleanlinessloud noise
The bathroom cleanliness was a real letdown. I saw grime and buildup in the shower. The temperature was hard to regulate. the noise at night was disturbing. It sounded like other guests were partying and not being considerate of others trying to sleep. I would have liked a quieter stay.

super stay!

perfect locationquick tramsimple breakfastreasonable price
the location worked out perfectly for needing a spot outside the city center. parking my car was easy and i didn't need the eco badge that is required in the city center. it was a quick walk to the tram, which took me to alexanderplatz quickly. breakfast was simple, it matched the price of the hotel so everything was ok!!!
