Guest Reviews

• Charlotte (7/5): -
• Rafał (8/5): - Przyjemny tani swojski Apartament Internet bardzo wolny
• Panche (10/5): -
• Bernd (8/5): - Geräumige Wohnung mit 2 Schlafzimmern 5 Etage . Keine Nachttischlampen. Leuchtmittel Stehlampen wurden nicht gewechselt
• Lucia (10/5): -
• Connor (4/5): - Lage Hat nach Urin im Zimmer gerochen personal konnte kaum deutsch . Es wurde das Zimmer gezeigt wo es ist und das war’s .
• Fikret Kenan (9/5): Çok memnun kaldık. Tavsiye ederiz - Temizlik, ısıtma, ilandaki her şeyin gerçek olması Banyoda 2. bir klozetin olmayışı ve bazı aydınlatmaların çalışmaması
• Christine (8/5): Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis - Super Lage, großes Appartement im Dachgeschoss (Lift vorhanden), 2 komfortable Schlafzimmer, große Wohnküche, großes Bad und separates WC. Die Lampe im Treppenhaus war im 5 Stock (vor dem Appartement) kaputt und wurde auch nach Aufforderung nicht repariert. Das macht es wirklich sehr dunkel und gefährlich, gerade jetzt wo es so früh dunkel wird.
• Dieter (8/5): - Wohnungsuasstattung Sauberkeit Treppenhaus
• Natasha (9/5): Great option for friends - This was a great set up for 2 friends needing their own space, it was very clean and close to good transport links. The rooms and living space was very generous as were the bathrooms, etc...pillows were great too. Everything was great, would have been nice to have a few more things in the kitchen, like coffee filters, butter, and some mornings there would be cooking smells in the morning from another apartment, like garlic - but that didn't spoil our stay.
• Sandi (10/5): -
• Musa (8/5): Would stay again - The size is great! Some tea and coffee, tissues, shampoo & conditioner would have been nice! Small provisions would make short stays more enjoyable.
• Karolina (10/5): -
• Dieter (7/5): -
• Anastasia (10/5): - Πολύ ευρύχωρο διαμέρισμα. Πολύ κοντά ο σταθμός του Μετρό με εύκολη πρόσβαση σε όλη τη πόλη. Ησυχη γειτονιά με ελεύθερο παρκιγκ. Θα το ξαναπροτιμουσαμε σίγουρα και πάλι.!!!
• Peter (9/5): Excellent equipped spacious apartment, great location near U-Bahn, friendly staff - Spacious apartment, well equipped kitchen, laundry machine, large washroom with both shower and bath and twin basins. Shower gel, soaps, dishwashing liquid and toilet paper plentiful, and towels too. Loved the old elevator up to the 4th floor. Staff helpful with personal requests. Needs a USB socket for charging the bedside table lamps. Bowls for eating breakfast cereal would be useful too.
• Maike (9/5): -
• christine (7/5): Un bel appartement avec quelques points négatifs - L'appartement est très grand et bien agencé. Belle salle de bains et WC séparé. Il est très calme, aucun bruit. Les lits sont confortables. Étant sous les toits, il peut faire chaud mais il est possible de faire des courants d'air. L'emplacement est parfait : le métro est à quelques pas et aussi boulangerie, supermarché dont un bio. Le four n'était pas nettoyé et les plaques ne fonctionnaient pas mais il y avait des plaques de remplacement. Pas assez de matériel pour la cuisine. Quelques éléments cassés : penderie et lattes du lit. Le personnel de l'hôtel qui est séparé de l'appartement ne parle souvent pas anglais ni allemand
• Natalia (7/5): good value for money; good location - good value for money; location decor; uncomfortable bed/pillows; not all the stuff spoke English
• Ryan (7/5): Great value great location. - Great price and location. Maybe best value in the city. Stayed for a week and loved the proximity to Ubahn/City Center/Highways etc. to get around. Staff was a little old fashioned. No coffee maker, fridge, or kettle in the room. There's so much space for something. The room size is great but not furnished very well. Asked repeatedly for a kettle and basically had to demand one. They gave us the one from the reception office. No way to make something to drink in the room? Fridge, coffee maker and kettle are pretty standard anywhere else I stay.
• Ivana (9/5): A cute cozy hotel - The room was clean, warm and comfortable. A bit old furniture but I didn't mind that. Very close to bus and metro stops.
• Florence (4/5): Disappointing - decoration is original and bed comfortable the ultra noisy road, impossible to sleep and rude staff
• Akshaya (7/5): Good -
• Ruben (7/5): Good - Interior is not trivial. Location is good. Room is confortable More service will be good.
• Stuart (7/5): good - met all my needs - clean . spacious convenient for my needs no coffee making in room
• Alexandru (8/5): Very good -
• Alexander (8/5): - Good, clean hotel in a safe and quiet area. The bed was a bit on the soft side, and I would not recommend to leave the door tilted as one can easily push it in from the balcony that wraps around the first floor of the building. Other than this slight security hazard, I had a great stay and would come here again. I arrived late, so the reception was closed. No big deal since the hotel emailed me the code of the outside locker beforehand.
• Douglas (7/5): Good -
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Alex (7/5): Nice little hotel on a rather busy road - Big, airy bedroom. Nice breakfast room. Good shower. Close to tube station. Noisy road. Quite far from the nightlife if that's your thing
• Jonnie (9/5): great hotel, truly great but just needs to up the internet and it would be fantastic… the price is excellent, the staff - excellent and was different than a Rad Blu or similar.. loved the decor sadly the internet was hit and miss when we are in the world of internet of high speed etc it’s not good finding emails not sent and while a solo traveller I can’t get the BBC news on my laptop to read for breakfast as it won’t reach the room…
• Nidal (7/5): Recommended - Clean, very good location, and quick check in and out I guess the price is a little bit high, and the curtains can be thicker to make the room darker at night.
• Hallam (8/5): A brilliant hotel with a reasonable price and convenient location. - Excellent room, bed and bathroom. Cleaning service were thorough, and reception staff were warm and friendly. I have only 2 complaints. The lighting was a bit dim, due to a lack of ceiling light, and the shower was a bit small. Other than that, it was fantastic. (Room 109)
• Mark (7/5): A very relaxing stay - The double bed was huge, as were the pillows which were very soft, so they could be folded to suit an array of different pillow preferences. The restaurant next door is also very good, and the hotel is close to the U-Bahn so getting about the rest of the city is easy. If you need to contact the hotel using the Booking app, as long as the reception at the hotel is open, responses are pretty quick. The curtains were very thin, in a room next to a street light this allowed quite a lot of light into the room at night, and the mattress was a little lumpy which took a bit of getting used to. In the immediate vicinity, there's not much to look at, so you'll need to take transport to the centre to see anything really worthwhile. Reception is only staffed for a few hours a day, which may cause problems if you have any issues you need to raise, and if you've a late (or early) check-in you'll need to use the night-time entrance and rely on an email, which may not arrive until worryingly late. You also have to inform them of the arrival time so that this can be arranged, which isn't immediately clear.
• Jose (8/5): Very good - Comfortable and quiet. room. Very good location. Nice Breakfast. Front desk works limited hours.
• Neslihand (9/5): Superb -
• Justus (5/5): Passable -
• Ryosuke (10/5): Exceptional - Renovated old property, with nice ambience and enough space. Breakfast is also good.
• John (10/5): Exceptional - charming and very comfortable very little; the shower was small but perfectly adequate
• Morrison (8/5): Very good - Very beautiful decor, close to the metro, large room. Wifi didnt work at all for half the stay.
• Nataliia (3/5): Not worth the money - When you enter the room, it appears to be rather neat and exactly as it looked on booking.com. The maid cleaned the room every day and changed the towels when they were on the floor. We were given room 209 which faced the courtyard. Since there is a restaurant on the ground floor, cutlery clanking kept us awake half a night and all morning. But the worst part was the bed. It looked nice, but the springs made our backs suffer greatly and made the stay unbearable. When I dropped my sock and looked under the bed, I saw fluffy dust underneath. Noone seemed to bother and clean it. The tap in the bathroom moved every single time we tried to switch it on/off. There was some fungus on the shower curtain. There were no sleepers (they were not on the room description, but would have been nice), though there was a sewing kit and a shoe sponge available. Be ready not to have any conditioning in the room, only the fan (which we used all the time).
• Gyan (4/5): Overrated hotel, more like a cheap B&B - The location was convenient for the purpose of my visit. Room cleaning seemed good most days 1. Ever changing reception hours 2. Entering the hotel revealed a smell of old fryer fat. Dirty and stained carpets and worn interior. 3. Room to the street was noisy 4. Curtains did not darken the room properly 5. Squeaky beds 6. Questionable hygiene in the elevator 7. Boring breakfast, just above continental, while inexpensive 8. No real value for money. Neighbouring Hotels offer more for a similar price 9. No cold drinks available as the only vending machine was defect..... 10. Communication with staff was difficult with 2 out of 3 I had contact with.
• Christina (10/5): Exceptional - Such a romantic and fairytale-like atmosphere. No vegan options for breakfast.
• Heleriin (9/5): Superb -
• Dana (4/5): - Leider wirkt das Hotel insgesamt sehr in die Jahre gekommen und unsauber.
• Susanne (10/5): - Fine rene værelser.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - verkehrsgünstige Lage, sauber, sehr schönes Stadthotel
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Saubere Zimmer, herzlicher Service und ein leckeres, liebevolles Frühstück. Außerdem eine hervorragende Anbindung an das Ubahnnetz (2 min laufen) und generell nahe am Zentrum (ca 10 min laufen bis Kurfürstendamm). Bin mit meiner besten Freundin schon vierten mal hier und gehen bei allen zukünftigen Besuchen auf jeden Fall immer wieder hierher. Weiter so!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Ich war erstaunt, von osteuropäischem Personal ( Eigentümern?) begrüßt zu werden. Ich hatte italienisches Flair vermutet, was ja auch auf die Einrichtung zutrifft. Die Bäder und Flure sahen recht verwohnt aber sauber aus.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Todo excelente, el personal de recepción muy amable, buen desayuno, muy bonita habitación, todo excelente, gracias.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Prima hotel voor verblijf van een paar dagen in Berlijn. Vrij grote en comfortabele kamer, goed ontbijt. Mooie buurt, op 15 minuten lopen van Kurfurstendam en vlakbij metrostation. Verschillende goede restaurants op loopafstand.
• Bruna (10/5): - Quarto muito confortável, super quentinho, casa de banho espaçosa, no entanto, pequeno almoço muito aquém para o valor cobrado (10€).
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Een mooi, aangenaam hotel, met een goede, vriendelijke ontvangst. Het ligt wat perifeer, niet middenin het centrum en het ontbijt vond ik wat matig voor 10 euro, maar als geheel erg okay.
• D (8/5): - Die Zimmereinrichtung ist besonders und gefällt mir.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - We stayed here for the decor of the hotel we don’t really like modern or plain hotels it is in a quiet part of Berlin but the underground is close by. Not many bars/ restaurants near by. A beautiful little park near by that has stalls which sells street food, fruit juice and alcohol ! There is a nice restaurant bar that is open early and closes late, park cafe I think it’s called. If you don’t want the huddle and bustle of the city Thai is perfect and cheap
• Yuvaraj (4/5): Water stains in room - Water stains in the ceiling of room and water leak stain in bathroom.
• sarah (6/5): Convenient hotel near transport - Clean well furnished hotel with excellent breakfast V close to U station Disappointed that you cannot make a cup of tea in your room not is there any service for this. The plumbing in my room was a bit scary changing to very hot (burning) quite suddenly and then to cold.
• Gary (8/5): Convenient - Convenient but a bit noisy- humid weather meant window had to be left open and so noisy road near by made for a problem.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel and close to public transportation. Very good staff.
• Shailendra (10/5): Good Hotel...... Awesome Staff - Awesome Stay with exceptional Staff. We reached at 0930 Hrs.....4 hours early than our scheduled check in but they gave us room straight away without changing any money...... Breakfast was good.....rooms were very good.....Classic hotel with transport just 100 mera away.....15 mins u r in the center of the town......Should stay here
• Vladi (10/5): Good hotel with great breakfast - Free parking on the streets nearby, amazing breakfast
• Verified traveler (8/5): Wonderfull breakfast - Wonderfull breakfast and top top service!... noise bed, fluffy pillows..
• b rad (8/5): Friendly staff - 2 day stay worked ok subway close by restaurant next door cheap eats close by
• a (8/5): Good hotel near to underground. - Very good hotel, good staff, excellent rooms. Great breakfast and about a minute from underground. Great base for getting around Berlin.
• Elspeth (10/5): Great for transport links - Practically next to the underground so really easy to get around. Staff were helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. The only thing that would have improved it would have been a kettle in the room. Would happily go back.
• Abdussalam (6/5): Good value for the price - The hotel was ok overall and the cost was so affordable but the street noise was unbearable. The windows need serious insulation to keep noise at bay.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Well Worn But Interesting - We got in late and left early so we were only there to sleep for one night. We found the Albergo was an interesting place to stay with the rather frayed red curtains on the windows and bed.
• Patrick (10/5): Great hotel - Great hotel, comfortable bed, big room. Location only 2 minutes from subway. Breakfast was fabulous, would book again.
• Danielle (10/5): - Hotel was great. We stayed 6 nights. Location is amazing if visiting Berlin. A one minute walk from the subway system and some food places. Breakfast buffet was exceptional and staff was always friendly. Loved it!
• C and T (8/5): Great hotel, great breakfast. - Lovely hotel, close to Ubahn. Only comment was that the pillows dissapear to nothing when you lie on them but the staff provided 4 extra ones when we asked. Overall a fabulous stay in a fabulous city.
• Yaminah (10/5): Berlin through a vintage scope - Beautiful vintage building. Very near to everything. There are trains and buses less than 3 minutes from the hotel. Nice location and great reception.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice place! - Good hotel, fair prices and good breakfast.
• bridge (6/5): Reasonably priced - The 20% off if you stay 3 nights plus the quirky decor was the reason I booked this hotel. It's a bit far out of the city but still easily accessible because of u-bahn. Staff behind the reception were fine but staff in breakfast room were much less friendly. Room was massive which was great but the tiniest towels ever!
• Jamie (10/5): Great Value for Money! - This isn't the Ritz, it's not a Hilton, It's not even a Holiday Inn, so if that's what you're expecting, look elsewhere. I booked this hotel because the photos on the website conveyed an old school charm which caught my imagination. The photos are very reflective of what you will find in this hotel, mediterranean style tiled floors, large beds, and an old-timey aesthetic throughout. The rooms are comfortable, clean and well furnished. Breakfast is continental edging towards an eastern european style of meal, but there is a great deal of choice, and everything tasted great. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful, and you get the impression that they really care about the hotel, the guests and their experience. Location wise you're a little further away from the centre of everything, if you're a walker like me you can be in the middle of Berlin in just over an hour, or you can hop on the U-Bahn at Fehrbellinerplatz Station which is a two minute walk from the door of the hotel. The U-Bahn will have you in most parts of Berlin in 20 minutes or less. In short, great hotel, great room, great experience!
• George (4/5): Disappointed - Room looked lovely BUT when we booked it stated Tea & Coffee making facility's in room, Nothing. advert has changed. Radiator in room did not work so room was cold, night clerk informed spoke little English. Nothing done. Bed linen not change all week. BREAKFAST Excellent.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The hotel was exactly like the pictures. Breakfast was good but if you arrived later some things had gone.
• Corina-Ioana (8/5): - My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We absolutely loved the style. The room has no AC, but for us it was not a problem, as we traveled in September and the temperature at that time is not so high. The breakfast was delicious and offered plenty of choices. They also offered a large variety of coffees and teas. The mattress was awful and so the pillows. The hotel is located just 2 minutes away from the metro station and is close to the main attractions of the city. We wanted to rent bikes from the hotel, unfortunately they were all in a very bad shape.
• Stewart (6/5): Not for Summertime Stays - Room was quaint, but no air conditioning; short staircase to slow elevator; no screens on single window/door (it opened from the top and like a door) and rooms face or near major noisy thoroughfare; "king-size" bed seems to have double mattresses and single blankets for either side; no accessible AC outlets near bed or night stands and you have to pull the desk away from the wall to get to the outlets for desk use – only other accessible outlets weren't near any furniture; no true bath-sized towels. Great Georgian restaurant downstairs and a nice bar/cafe a block away in a park by the subway, but that's about it for restaurants within reasonable walking distance.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Terrible experience - Started badly when saying hello at check in, took ten seconds to get a grunted response back. The next day we asked for extra pillows, promised no problem but never came. Went later to ask again and rudely given keys to another room and told if we wanted them so badly to go and get them from this empty room ourselves. On checking out again rudely told I hadn't paid, I said I had and the lady on reception said 'No'. No checking, just no. Implying I was lying. I told her to check and she said oh ok yes you paid. No apology. Honestly the worst experience in a hotel which was dated, shabby and falling apart in places. Avoid
• Rakdan 10 (8/5): Good value in a nice neighbourhood. - Had my flight been late, it would have been difficult to check in without a local mobile phone plan. Expedia did not have all the accurate information. Hotel and conditions were very nice. Reception was pleasant. Room was as pictured. The location was just far enough from the 'action' not to be tempted to return midday. Nice breakfast selection.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel close to transport links - Staff very welcoming and helpful the hotel is close to the underground.Free wifi bit hit and miss on the top floor
• Tris (8/5): Pretty nice hotel - We really likes the hotel, super cute and easy to get to. Our problems were simple really; the bedding. In stead of an appropriate sized duvet, you get two single ones and you cannot get comfy on the pillows, any weight put on them will make the stuffing run for the boarders. Oh and the WiFi was rubbish, it was our only source of Internet while we were away so we could plan our days the evening before. It was a lovely hotel though if that is all we can think of.
• David (8/5): Great Hotel - Lovely hotel albeit a little out of the centre it is near an underground station so easy enough to get into the city centre. Room was big and spacious and the rate I paid it was excellent.
• Kam Mo (8/5): Good place - Good place!
• K & S (10/5): Berlin by bikes! - I travelled with my young son (nearly 14). We decided to travel by train from airport to the hotel. It worked out cheaper (14Euros compared to 45Euros by taxi) - one change over and close to destination, our hotel. Beautiful weather as we wanted to hire bikes from the hotel and travel the city on it. This was a good transport for us and fairly safe for sightseeing and stopovers, catching up with friends in the city. We did the canal run, close to the large park. It is interesting and a great way to view the city on bikes. As we had cycled a long way out towards the main city from the hotel, we could get back on the train in the evening with our bikes was a positive. Just make sure you buy a separate ticket for bikes, and being mindful that not all stations yet accommodate easy access (walkway) to carry bikes around on the station and on trains. However, we always found very helpful locals to direct us when we pulled out our paper maps! Wonderful experience overall and could have done with few more extra days.
• W (8/5): A lovely hotel, a little Italy in Berlin. - The room was spacious, floor to ceiling windows, clean and not too far from the centre of the city.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautifully appointed hotel Handy location, being close to Berlin's public metro system Great breakfast
• Verified traveler (2/5): Overbooked in Berlin - Can't really tell about the hotel in question, but they were overbooked booked and they sent us to another hotel which was part of the SensCity farther away from the city center. The other hotel was also 3 stars. The rooms we had were next to the road and was noisy. So the story is not to move hotels unless they give you something worth it.
• Verified traveler (10/5): A nice quiet hotel - Nice hotel, staff very helpful
• j (8/5): I would stay again - The hotel was fine. My only complaint would be that there was quite abit of noise from the busy road outside. Other than that, everything was good. The reception closes at 10pm, but theres a side door for you to come in for after hours.
• Ralph (10/5): SensCity not Sin City! - A great place for those who like old-fashioned bordello decor! Contrary to other reviews, the traffic noise was barely perceptible... Likewise, hotel inside very quiet... Rather far from the city center but very conveniently located to the U-Bahn. Staff was friendly and accommodating regarding, e.g., late arrivals and wireless. A very nice if rather pricy Fruehstuck... Service in the hotel restaurant was rather slow, however... A bonus was the route of the Berlin Marathon went right in front of the hotel with a samba band playing across the street...
• Brenda (10/5): Good location for the city; Spacious rooms - Excellent location for visits to the city. Less than 3 mins walk to U train station. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Wifi was good but had to be paid for, which I don't mind if it works well. If you arrive on a Sunday which I did, nothing open locally for food, but a small kebab shop by the station, but good snack food and drinks available. Any other day of the week and there are plenty of places to eat.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Brief stay - I stayed for 3 nights, I chose it mainly because the price was good and the location reasonable. I thought the room and service was ok but I was disappointed about a few things - I paid for single occupancy in a double room. Great so far but the bed was made up of 2 single mattresses (falling down the gap in the middle) and the duvet was actually to single ones! - the shower water temperature was spontaneously changing resulting in hot and cold spells - the TV remote control batteries were flat or the remote was broken
• MK (6/5): Great Hotel - if the water had been warm... - This is not your run of the mill franchised hotel, but the owners have succeeded in creating an unique Mediterranean atmosphere, which is very pleasant, both in the restaurant and the rooms. Located at the edge of the city, with easy connection via U3 and U7. The staff is extremely helpful and very friendly. I would have warmly recommended this hotel, if it hand't been for the fact that on my second morning, there was no warm water for the showers.
• Eli (6/5): Guess I was unlucky - I had an incredible deal on this hotel (expedia) - so I paid the price when I arrived: the toilet was extremely dirty and smelled terribly (never have experienced anything like that in a hotel). Well, I simply flushed, but it remained dirty. Hair was quite everywhere and the towels not in order. When I left the room an hour later I asked at the front desk to have the bathroom cleaned - and was surprised to see nothing had changed when I returned. Oh well. They took care of it the following day. The room itself is quite spacious, with a large bathroom and a balcony, which is great. While most 2* hotels provide basic toiletries and free wifi, this one provided toilet paper and cheap hand-soap (that I had to use as shampoo in the end) - and wifi for 6Euro/day. The minibar was completely empty, the fridge unplugged. Guess I was just unlucky!
• business (8/5): - good value, friendly service
• Heather (8/5): Overall very good - I would recommend this hotel which although it is not central to the main sight seeing areas they remain easily reached via public transport. Handy tip : public transport bus numbers 100 and 200 cover all the major sight seeing areas so save yourself 20 euro by using these buses . The only downs about the hotel was the noise from the radiator and that the safe needed a new battery however both of these were quickly repaired. My only real gripe therefore is that unless you take breakfast at 10 euros/day they will charge 6 euros /day to use the internet and they do not have the capability to print off any documentation ie Ryanair boarding pass .
• J (4/5): Never again ... - My life partner and I arrived in Berlin at the SensCity Hotel Albergo tired after a long train ride. Going to our assigned room we were a little shocked about the tackiness: Gold color everywhere (even in the bathroom), golden framed mirrors and a bed with heavy red and gold colored draperies left and right to the headboard (resembling the attempt of creating a canopy bed). Our room was on the 2nd floor. The balcony was nice but it was shared with other guests. The so-called all no-smoking hotel had quite a few smoking guests who (mostly) used the shared balcony to "enjoy" their addiction. Of course we were forced to close our balcony door (the only way of enjoying some fresh air in absence of of types of ventilation). Then there was the traffic. It was horrible along the street the hotel was built on. Day and night, with the exception of 2 or 3 of the deepest night hours, the cars passed by. The noise was so bad that we had to close the balcony door even without smokers present. And then the mattress. This "thing" we had to sleep on must have been a leftover of the immediate post-war time because we could feel individual springs poking into our softer parts. Finally: All front desk staff and restaurant waiters were great, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was, with €10 a person, excellent and cheap (for Europe).
• Verified traveler (6/5): Couple downsides - As other reviewers have noted, without air conditioning and having street noise made it difficult as the room gets stuffy without the window open and with the window open it was loud. The rooms were pretty dated and the bed was not very comfortable, with the springs readily apparent. The pillows were overly soft making the sleeping not the best. Sometimes the hot water ran out and the temperature would vary at times. I couldn't find a gym to use while at the hotel except a couple that charged 30 Euros per day. I ended up running in a long park about 3/4 miles from the hotel. On a positive note the Internet worked pretty well in the restaurant and the room. The breakfast was small but nice.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great hotel, excellent staff. - Great hotel for the price, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Convenient location, with easy access to subway system, and 20 minutes from airport. Highly recommended.
