I just stayed at this hotel for a few days last week. Traveling solo, I was first put in a room (#8) with two single beds and a little balcony, which was okay, but the room was an awkward narrow shape, and the balcony is shared with another room, so there's not a lot of privacy if you want to have the balcony door open to get some air circulation). They put me in another room with a double bed (#10), which was a much nicer use of space - a better room. The bathrooms in both rooms were immaculate, but they both smelled a little mildewy (though I saw no signs of mildew). There is handsoap provided by the sink in the bathroom, but no soap (or shampoo) in the shower, so make sure you bring your own.

The hotel is between two subway stops (Jannowitzbrucke and Heinrich Heine-Str on the U8) and it's about a 10 minute walk to either one, which is convenient. But the area is quite desolate - there are no cafes, shops, nothing within the vincinity. And while my Berlin friends said the neighborhood is safe, I didnt feel comfortable walking from the subway station to the hotel at night by myself - it's a little too quiet.

That said, it's very noisy in the mornings - the hotel is at the top of a five story building (I should mention here that there's a convenient lift to the fifth floor), and the courtyard of the building is in use by one of the businesses, so there was a lot of noise and commotion in the early morning. If you are an early bird, this won't bother you, but bring ear plugs if you want to sleep in.

Overall, it's not that special or cool or hip of a hotel, and I think it was overpriced in comparison to similar-range hotels that I've stayed in. I would choose something a little more centrally located next time, in a more useful area for hanging out.
