Stick the wallpaper back on the wall & remove the blue tack. If you’re going to use as a hotel and student digs, give the room a quick lick of paint. Nice vibe in the foyer, most of the friendly. Rooms are quiet, bed was comfy.

The social hub was incredibly relaxed and the atmosphere with everyone made it feel like a summer camp of sorts. Friendly staff, clean rooms, good food, and everything you could hope for in a hotel while on a break away.

Such a lovely room and hotel. So many amenities downstairs in the lobby like gym, games, laundry area. The staff were so nice as well and it's such a bonus that we can leave our bags there for free. Bed and pillow were very cozy. Recommend.

Berlin stay

This was the perfect location, Alexanderplatz has so much to offer and so close to bus and trains to get about Berlin. We loved the vibe of the hotel, it was colourful, all the staff were friendly, so helpful and welcoming. The room was ideal for what we needed with option of using the gym and garden area with a great bar. Would definitely stay again!

A really nice, quirky hotel and (literal) social hub. Comfortable bed, plenty of storage space, a safe wet room style bathroom and Nespresso coffee. Handy for Alexanderplatz too. Would definitely stay there again.

Nice but Dusty

The vibe is really great. Very friendly/helpful staff. Great modern concept and welcoming. The only issue was the dust. Walking in the hallways you can see the dust cascade around the lights. It wasn’t until my second night that I noticed the alarming amount of dust in my room, on my bed and on the surfaces. Since it was my last night and my allergies weren’t bothering me, I just stayed. If it weren’t for the dust, I’d give this place a 10/10. But I give it 8/10.

Surprised how nice and well appointed our room was as our son is living in another area of the hotel for 4 months as a study abroad student. Was expecting to be more dorm like, and it does have that feel a bit in decor, room and lobby which is very modern, concrete, minimalist. But has a nice bar, excellent drinks, everything you need and the room was clean and comfortable with a small kitchenette area, microwave, mini-fridge, large modern bathroom. Better than many upscale hotels we’ve stayed at!!

Customer service hosts need to improve in tourism knowledge. Rooms need to be equipped with a fridge, since guests are forced to purchase food outside of the hotel because of the limited options in the restaurant.

Convenient location near the S and U trains, and really nice property. My only negative comments are that the rooms are small, and the shower only has a partial door, so the bathroom floor will inevitably get wet after a shower. But I would still stay here again.
