We stayed here two years ago and the hotel is still great. There are foreign workers who stay here and also at the time we stayed there was a busload of teenagers (soccer maybe?) from somewhere. We also had people staying here for the Berlin Marathon which happened to be at the same time, so the place was always busy.
Breakfast selection is massive and there is something for everyone. The breads are great, there are choices and the coffee machine is good.
I didn't take many photos of the room as I did do a review last time. However the theme is around Marlene Dietrich in each room. We had a comfort room, kettle and tea and coffee available, bathroom is large. We had a desk and chair and extra lounge chair. Our window faced the street and we like that. Some may find this noisy so don't choose room 619. We loved it. Windows are openable and air con is available as is wifi which is great. Plenty of power points.
Staff and service were excellent and friendly. The cleaning team is kind and they are diligent. There are toilets in the foyer and there is a bar downstairs although it's limited in choices. There is a cigarette machine (a rare find these days) and smoking is permissible on the back terrace, which is furnished and even if it is in the car park, it's fantastic. I am unsure of costs associated with car parking.
You can get your laundry done, which this time around was much cheaper than other countries we stayed in.
For dinner Il Nouvo is next door and
