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 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.
