Although this hotel is well located, has very friendly staff and looks great at first, we were quite disappointed with the overall "shabbiness" of the hotel. It really needs a full renovation, soon. The yellow chair in our room was full of black dirt marks (from suitcases and shoes), not so inviting to sit on..
In the bathroom, some of the floor tiles were missing; strange grey "stains" on the floor (of dirth we first thought, but it looked like silicone). Otherwise, bathroom clean and ok.
The wooden floor is noisy when walking on it, and the carpet they put on it really needs a good cleaning.
The beds were ok though; very quiet surroundings despite central location - only one minute walk from Kurfürstendamm with all the shopping and street life.
We can only recommend this hotel to people who don't care about "shabbiness" or if 1 or 2 things are broken. The price is ok, the situation excellent. But we would not stay there again - until the have renovated the entire hotel!
