Not much I can add to the previous reviews. It is certainly the best hotel pension I have stayed in around the K'dam area in the budget range. I had a twin bedded room on the top (fifth) floor, the lift only goes to the fourth floor. Not a problem if one is mobile. I did not find the shower stall small, quite the contrary - plenty of room for my 6'4" 20 stone lithe figure! Good power shower, no shortage of or waiting five minutes for hot water. Proper soap dispensers, none of those silly lozenge size complimentary soaps. I found the bathroom a fair size, who needs a barn to carry out ablutions! Good size room, clean bed linen and towels, comfy bed, mini bar but no tea or coffee making facilities. CNN and BBC World News channels otherwise TV is all Deutsche, no surprise there. Noise: none apart from the odd door latch clicking home and you would not think that K'dam was just a few meters away. There is also a bus stop as you get to K'dam to the right (apart from the S & U bahn stops already mentioned by other reviewers) and Zoologischer Garten, an excellent transport terminal is only a few stops away. Hotel sells the tickets as well. Breakfast was excellent with a very good choice of wursts and cheese, brots and cereals. I like my food and am very critical if I feel short changed on a breakfast. The coffee deserves a mention too - extremely drinkable - I like mine black and strong and six cups out of a large thermos pot set me up every morning. I will certainly stay here again if I can get in - the Germans know about The Kurfuerst as well!
