surprisingly good value stay
ample space private bathroom convenient reception
i found the room to be a good size for what i needed it had ample space for my luggage and belongings the private bathroom was a definite plus it included basic amenities like soap and towels i used the lift to easily transport my folding bike to my room the 24-hour reception with its coffee machine was convenient
during my stay i noticed the absence of storage in the room a closet or drawers would have greatly improved the organization and convenience of my belongings i found myself living out of my suitcase which was not ideal for a longer stay
Rooms

the room had sufficient space and came equipped with a private bathroom stocked with essential toiletries like towels and soap the size was adequate for a comfortable stay providing enough room for luggage and movement.
Dining

i observed a coffee machine available at the 24-hour reception though i didn't have breakfast on site i noticed a pancake maker which seemed popular with kids breakfast was simple catering to the hotel's price point.
Location

the hotel is outside the city center which suited my needs for car parking without eco restrictions it was a short walk to the tram offering a ride to alexanderplatz in about thirty minutes this made accessing the city relatively easy.

wonderful stay, was so good!
spacious room hot water electronic key
the room was a quadruple room, and it was quite spacious. we had a tv and the bathroom always had hot water, a plus. the staff was friendly and quick at check-in, even at a late hour. i especially liked the electronic key card system for the doors (it felt very secure).
i noticed that the window in our room wasn't fully sealed. this made the room a bit drafty, especially at night.
Rooms

Our quadruple room offered ample space, complete with provided linens and towels. The bathroom had convenient towel racks, and we found the beds were neatly prepared upon arrival, a nice touch.
Dining

Breakfast included options for everyone. I saw pancakes, fruits, cheese, cereals, and vegetables on display (the peanut butter was my personal favorite!). gluten-free options were available as well, appreciated by some.
Facilities

There is a children's playground located near the reception area. Vending machines in the lobby offered snacks and drinks. Payment by card was possible, simplifying transactions at the front desk.
