"Person at check in wasn't great....didn't even speak German, gave feedback the next day about that and a couple of other things and that member of staff went above and beyond! Breakfast situation was odd.....seems like the restaurant is a popular brunch spot so not so easy to book, service was extremely slow and somewhat sullen.....would not recommend the breakfast piece. Other than that the rooms are small but beautifully put together, great location for Berlin west."
