This is my second time at this hotel and I had a great week's stay. The location is only ten minutes walk from Giesing S-Bahn/U-bahn and 5 stops Marienplatz. Giesing doesn't seem the prettiest place, lots of apartment blocks and offices, but I liked being a little away from the centre of the city and the area felt safe when walking the 5-10 mins from the station in the evening. There's a large building site and a factory right next to the hotel, which I found a real plus as it meant peace and quiet in the evenings. The rooms are of a modern and minimalist design which I loved, unfussy and cool. (A better reading light next to the bed would be good.) The bathroom is chic and very clean, the bed comfortable with quality bedding. My room had its own kitchenette and balcony, which made for nicer relaxing space in the evenings. I didn't cook, but found the fridge useful for keeping drinks.
For me the best part of my stay was the service. The reception/bar is 24 hour, the staff seem business-like and very efficient (not all of them were into the warm and friendly thing but that didn't really bother me!) and they really have thought of the finer details in terms of making your stay easier. Everything I asked for was made possible, from extra bedding, use of laundry and ironing board, provision of detergent, even selling public transport tickets at reception. I will definitely stay again.
