20 December 2011 thomas would recommend this property

Liked: This was a fantasic place to stay, it exeded my expectations. Comfy beds, great staff, great WIFI connection, atmosphere and facilities. The U-bahn is located right outside the door, and if you decide to stay at this great place, try the loacal beer on offer at the bar.

Disliked: Some clothes hooks in the shower would be nice as there isnt enough room to place anything somewhere where it wont get wet.
