Very well located in a central position, just a short stroll from the river and the Sachsenhausen district, this is a bit of a cross between an apartment and a hotel as it’s name suggests. What that basically means is that you get a very small kitchenette area, so besides the usual kettle and ‘fridge which you’d expect anyway, there is also a small sink, a microwave and plenty of plates and cutlery. How many people would actually use that I’m not sure, but it’s handy I suppose if you’re on a very tight budget and don’t want to eat out all the time, or are there for an extended period. The reception desk operates very limited hours, finishing at around 3:30pm. If you arrive after this, as I’m sure many people will, there is some sort of electronic terminal outside which you can apparently use to gain entry, although as we were there earlier we did not need to use this. The hotel itself is very clean and tidy, and in fact looks as though it has been freshly refurbished. It has something of a sports there, and there was various sporting memorabilia around, as well as photographs of various starts. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when walking up the stairs (there is also a tiny lift), it all looked rather basic with the stair carpet leaving gaps of exposed concrete either side, for example. Fortunately I needn’t have worried, the room was light and airy, and again, very clean and tidy. It was a decent enough size, with a safe, TV, and the aforementioned kitchen appliances, as well as a Nespresso machine. Some snacks were supplied, consisting of a pot noodle type dish, a bag of pretzels, chocolate biscuits and sweets. I couldn’t get the safe to work, I’m sure it must have been broken, and it even woke me up in the night with a shrill chirping noise so I had to take the batteries out. Everything else was fine though, and the room was nice and quiet, although I was facing out to some sort of roof area above the restaurant, if I’d had a street facing room it may have been noisier. There was a good spread of help yourself buffet at breakfast, with options including cold meat, cheese and smoked salmon, hot food including sausages, mini-burgers, scrambled egg and a strange mushroom/pepper/carrot/broccoli concoction, plain yoghurt, cereals, fruit salad and so on. The only thing really missing was pastries, with just croissants available one morning, and nothing the next, although there was plenty of bread and rolls. The dining room was a bit on the small side, and the serving area in particular got very congested even with only two or three people there. Anyone using the coffee machine blocked the entrance way to the dining toom, leaving guests to either try and squeeze past or wait in the corridor outside until they had finished. Overall though, pretty good for the price and I’d happily stay there again.
