Pros: friendly staff, a v short walk to lovely leafy Prenzlauer Berg which is packed with restaurants and chilled bars, gorgeous big rooms, on good tram routes, cheap.
Cons: the hotel was going through a major renovation when we visited - in the hallways, windows were missing and workmen were banging from 7am which meant there was no chance of a lie in. And we felt a little cheated that they were open considering how much work was being done. It will be lovely when the work is completed though!
