Standard 4 stars german hotel in front of Dome
Pros:

Central

Cons:

Adequate. Neither bad enough to complain about nor good enough to remember.

What I find frustrating is how often hospitality now seems to mean offering the same standardised, bare-minimum experience everywhere, with little thought given to making a guest feel genuinely welcome. Housekeeping is a good example: it is increasingly left to guests to ask for their room to be cleaned, or to opt in to a service that used to be routine. I’m sure it’s all in the name of environmental protection… And in the room, there were two vouchers to collect two apples, rather than the apples themselves. It is a small thing, but it says a lot: the gesture is there, yet even that feels one step removed and transactional.

Der Aufenthalt war in Ordnung…
Pros:

Die Lage ist großartig! Mittendrin, kurze Wege zu den großen Sehenswürdigkeiten im Ostteil der Stadt. Große Tiefgarage vorhanden.

Cons:

In unserem Zimmer konnte man das Fenster nicht öffnen, weil der Griff fehlte. Kein Minikühlschrank vorhanden. Klimaanlage war sehr laut, wenn man diese höher gestellt hat.

Low service and dated rooms
Pros:

Location - walking distancen to Under de Linden

Cons:

Rude and poor customer service at reception. Staff only referred us to their iPad, even though two employees were standing at the desk. The same low standard was repeated at check-out, with very little service on offer and, once again, only a reference to the iPads.

The breakfast buffet had plenty of fruit flies in several places, and some of the food didn't look fresh, as if it had been set out many hours before serving.

The rooms are dated, with faulty light fixtures, and are worn and in need of an update.

Agradable
Pros:

El desayuno es excelente, variado y con opciones para todos los gustos

Cons:

Que no hay casi interacción con el personal, todo está pensando para resolver las cosas tú solo y a veces interactuar con locales cuando eres turista ayuda
