Overpriced, Run-Down Hotel With Poor A/C and Clean
Everything about this place feels worn and dated. The lobby and hallways are dark and gloomy, and while they market themselves as a high-end business hotel, in reality they’re run down and overdue for a major renovation.
The rooms don’t have real air conditioning. Instead, they use an “eco-friendly” system that never lets the room cool below about 22 °C. Ours never dropped below 23.5 °C even after eight hours, and only got there after spiking to 24.8 °C. When we asked for help, staff said they could maybe bring a fan. That took another full day and the fan they eventually brought was old and barely worked.
Cleaning was equally disappointing. There was mold on the grout (the shower sprays everywhere and there’s no ventilation or shower door), a yellow stain under the toilet that looked like urine and stayed even after “cleaning,” dust on surfaces, and hair from previous guests on the bed posts.
Even basic amenities are missing. There’s no way to stream or cast to the TV, and the internet is so painfully slow it’s not worth using. In 2025, that’s simply unacceptable.
If this hadn’t been Berlin Marathon weekend when options were scarce, we wouldn’t have stayed. The only real positive is its location right next to a metro stop.
