There was no tea kettle. This was especially problematic when I returned late in the evening from a below zero cold night. I asked the receptionist the next day (no receptionists between 22 and 7) about it and she claimed “by law it is illegal to have tea kettles in hotels in Germany”. According to my experience in Germany this is not true. Another receptionist claimed this has to do with fire hazard. However he was not able to explain how other hotels are able to have tea kettles. To summarize, depending on your habits this can be a major drawback.
