This place was good. It is in an up and coming neighborhood in old east Berlin. The building itself is quite new and is easily accessible from Hauptbahnhoff and other stations, with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops in the neighborhood. It is also within easy walking distance to Museum Island and all of its attractions, Brandenburger Tor, and other places in central Berlin. Communication was easy. The place was clean. Noise from the S-bahn might be bothersome early in the morning with the windows open (trains start at about 5 am), but with the windows shut it wasn't that big a deal. Recommend ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. I would stay here again.
