This hotel belongs to a small chain of which I have stayed at several already. It is located in a smart, but quiet street off Kudamm, and is above an excellent local bar/restaurant, Meineke X. The hotel itself is a 19th Century old Berlin building with an impressive entrance hall, and the rooms, although clean and basically comfortable, will be better once they are refurbished. The bathroom was in desperate need of an upgrade. The staff on arrival came across as especially rude and unwelcoming but in the first morning I was ably assisted to receive a room with a desk so that I could work there. The hotel could do with providing free wi-fi in line with many of its other hotels. All in all this was reasonably priced for the standard of accommodation, but 5 minutes around the corner is another of the hotels in this chain, the Domus, an altogether more attractive and comfortable overnight stay.
