Okay so I booked this place very very last minute to my trip to Berlin and here are the pros and cons I could come up with:
Pros:
- location!! this is probably the best place to stay location wise. Very very close to the Underground trains.
- wifi! it’s not the best but it still works. if you’re making to look business calls, then this place is probably not the place you’re looking for
- housekeeping! a bit on the iffy side since you never know when they’re coming but the fact that they’ll clean up your space is nice.
Cons:
- THE CLEANING FEE!! they made me pay the cleaning fee upfront which i was okay with, but IT IS NOT $60. i had to pay $120 upfront for the fee which i didn’t know about which made me broke for most of my trip. do not book unless you have the money to pay the fee.
- lack of english speaking workers. i personally don’t see this as a con (because i know german) but considering most americans don’t know german like that, it’s really a hit or miss when checking in
- no A/C. but let’s be real, it’s EUROPE, most places don’t have A/C.
- the wifi situation. good to have it but if you’re going to make facetime calls/business calls it’s not great.
Overall, for the value of this place, it was extremely nice and I could go in and out as I pleased. If you’re looking for a solid place to stay on budget then this is the correct place for you.
