This hotel is near the Friedrichstrasse station, within minutes of Friedrichstadt Palast, Hackescher Markt and central Berlin tourist sites. The hotel itself is modern, the room (superior double) had a huge bathroom and the breakfast buffet had all the choices you'd want. There is no parking nearby, so it is best to arrive by transit. The only downside for us was the oppressive colour scheme of dark brown, dark blue and minimal lighting...floor, ceiling, walls, hallways... even the staff is dressed in black. Some may find this modern or relaxing, we just find it dark. When we stepped outside we were surprised to see it was a sunny day. It is a matter of taste and no reflection on the personnel, location or overall value, but we wouldn't return for that reason.
