I’d say that staying at Hotel Amelie is like staying in the spare room of someone who doesn’t like you. You are in a kind of box room, with a bed that is smaller than you. You will be woken up before 8am by a crashing of bins being taken out and/or put back. Breakfast is entirely made of long-life processed food, presumably so it can be taken away, stored and put back the next day. Not very appetising. There is supposed to be wi-fi. It will not work in your room. If you go to the reception area it will work, but so slowly that it is no use for any practical purpose in the 21st century. I don’t understand how it is even possible to have an internet connection that works at 300kbps/s (dial-up modem speed) in 2023, but here it is. If you explain your predicament, the staff will reveal that they have another network that works perfectly well, but of course not in your room. So a bit useless if you’re working while you’re here, as the “reception” area where the wi-fi works isn’t open a lot of the time. If this was a hotel you’d be able to get a coffee pretty much any time, either making it in your room or at reception, possibly by paying for it. But reception is closed and there’s no coffee there anyway, and you have no facilities in your room (not even water glasses), so forget that. Overall, if you’re not planning to sleep, eat breakfast, work, or drink coffee while you’re in Berlin, it’s fine. But otherwise you’d be better off somewhere else.
