“Shiny new well designed hotel”
The hotel is brand new and shiny, as well as sylishly designed. The hotel strikes a nice balance of cool and stylish, without being overly hip. I was there during fashion week, and it certainly looked like a lot of fashion people in town like me for the week of trade shows. There is a cool bar and the restaurant was good. A limited menu, but a good one. Service was excellent throughout the hotel. There was a gym with brand new equipment, although not perfectly functional. dumbells but no key to change the weights, and only one treadmill. It was small but still nice. There were a couple of kinks that need to be worked through but minor, such as the key to change the dumbell weights. The fire alarm went off at 1am one morning, clearly a glitch in a brand new system, but it was dealt with quickly, alhough they could have kept the guests informed a better of the situation. I have no hesitation in recomending this hotel and would stay there again in a heartbeat. It is on the outskirts of Mitte, a great district, but it really is the outskirts, not the center. But it is very close to the U Bahn, so easy to get around, but not much in the direct area if you just want to pop out and grab a bite, but the German public transport system is flawless, so its never hard to get anywhere with ease.
