March 20 2008: Lovely hotel in the eastern side of Berlin. Close to the UBahn, SBahn and trainstation. Close to Unter den Linden and the Brandenburg gate. The rooms are nice, but only one english channel (Sky News). The breakfast buffet is amazing.
I could have done without the crazy 80's artwork on the walls, but I guess that's the hotel's signature look.
Date of stay: March 2008
Purpose of stay: Business
