My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. However, the rooms left much to be desired, feeling like a nightclub aftermath, dark, and with various maintenance issues. The service was a mixed bag, with a friendly welcome but overall incompetence and lack of attention. The dining experience was hit or miss, with excellent value for some items but lacking atmosphere in the restaurant. Overall, a stay with mixed feelings.

The hotel has a great location close to the U-Bahn and excellent dining options nearby. Rooms are small for the price and feature an open plan bathroom, which may not be ideal for sharing with a friend. The courtyard orientation is a plus, especially for a peaceful stay at 5:00.

The hotel offers interesting interior design in black and mirrors with a bath practically in the middle of the room. While the rooms were clean and tidy, they felt slightly overpriced for what they are. However, I did notice that they looked untidy with my luggage around all the time.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the room I had lacked space for luggage, unlike other hotels, it did offer a surprisingly large single room with a comfy bed, a nice shower, and even a jacuzzi-type bath.

The hotel has some positive aspects like an excellent shower and bubble bath in the rooms, but it did smell of cigarette smoke and had a strong old, dingy odor.
