Located just a few meters from the Uhlandstrasse metro station. You can access anywhere in Berlin without taking care of weather, whether it is cold, windy or really hot. Rooms are nicely designed, taking care of the original atmosphere of the old building. Reaching our room was a bit tricky, had to go upstairs with our luggage and breakfast could be better but I strongly recommend this hotel for touristic stays, if you can carry your own luggage.

I picked the Augusta for the location which is excellent, with easy access to different parts of the city. The reception is not on the ground floor, so anyone with a large suitcase will struggle up the stairs. I had booked and prepaid a superior double room, but was put up in a minuscule room at the back (no 49), not even with a writing desk, but after complaining, was transferred to a slightly better room (no 10), but definitely not a superior room. The rooms and hotel were impeccably clean. The reception staff friendly. I liked the breakfast table, which varied and of good quality.The wifi worked more or less. No Bar or Cafe.

So many good things about this hotel, I wish I could give it 5 stars. Great location if you are looking to stay in Kurfürstendamm area of Berlin. Our booking.com price was about 140 euro per night for a Superior Double (including tax) which I thought was good value for area. The room rate includes a nice breakfast and free in-room internet. The room had amenities, like a hair dryer, towel warmer, coffee maker, snack fridge, etc. We could stroll the streets in the area, even after dark, and feel safe. There are several places in the hotel where stairs are required, so be prepared to carry your bag up a flight of stairs or two or three if you stay here. There is a Starbuck's about 1/2 block away and plenty of good restaurants to choose from in walking distance.

So why only 3 stars? I had read the reviews and wanted to avoid some of the pitfalls noted by other reviewers, so thought I was solving the problem by booking a "superior" double. Not so. Our assigned 5th floor rooms had sky lights, not windows. 5th floor in Berlin and we couldn't even see the city outside! Also, I require a cool room, so made sure I booked an "air-conditioned" room. Mine wasn't. The hotel was full, so they couldn't accommodate changing my room. The sky lights opened, so that solved the temperature problem the first night, but added lots of street noise. By the second day, the rain started and the sky lights had to be shut. The room was stuffy and hot with no way to resolve it. After three nights of limited, uncomfortable sleeping I was ready to leave.

I would consider staying there again if I booked directly with the hotel and clarified the specifics of the room I was reserving.

It was a little boutique hotel but very nice. Clean nice staff (Well the guy on the first night wasn't very helpful!) but everyone else was. Front desk staff pointed us in the right direction when we wanted to head out & see the sights. Rooms were nice, big & comfy! My sister is allergic to the feather pillows & they happily changed them for us - no hassle! I would recommend this hotel and would consider staying here again as it was very central to everything we wanted to see :)
