This spot is perfect if you are solo, for a short time and planning on spending little time in your room beyond sleeping. Kind of like a Soviet-era hostel without any of the social spaces or vibes. I stayed here for 2 weeks, which is a bit long for such spartan accommodations.
Pros:
- perfect location, very walkable to Alexanderplatz and trams all right there
- great neighborhood. I was able to walk around and find fantastic, food, coffee, groceries, anything and everything
- great value, especially considering the location
- corner Doner Kebab is literally at the main entrance
Con:
- spotty wifi. Often my floor disconnected and I had to connect to another floor where the router was far away so the speed was bad. Main con for my needs. When it was connected I got around 15 mbps.
- if you have any luggage of any weight, you better willing to haul it up several flights of a narrow and steep staircase. I’m pretty strong, but carrying a total of 75kgs up 3 flights of staircase was rough.
- Extremely spartan accommodations. It’s a bit of a prison cell/bootcamp bunk with a desk and window vibe . Great for if you don’t need to spend a ton of time in the room and there for a short period of time. Not great for anything else. Although I’m someone who roughs it quite a bit, it was still wearing on me. Although in my case I was there for a long time and spent a lot of time in the room.
