  : Location near Uniklinik. Room was spacious and comfortable as well as bathroom. Efficient check in and check out.
  : Breakfast was OK, but staff there was unfriendly (I waited to be seated as requested, but since none come I just sat).

  : Location - 2 mins walking to U station. Staffs were very friendly and helpful.
  : Room is much smaller than we thought. And since it's within the hospital's area, we still had to wear mask in the alley and wear glove in the buffet area.The door to the hotel can be quite hidden. It took us 15 minutes to wander around the area to find that 'hidden' door

  : The person at the reception who brilliantly suggested we stroll by the nearby park and lake made that trip worth even more.

  : It is close to the subway line in a nice old building with lots of charm. The breakfast was delicious and abundant with lots of variety. The room was very clean.
  : There is no air conditioning. It is on a very busy street. I had to sleep with the windows open, so the noise kept me awake. there arent many shops or services near the hotel.

  : The hotel is self-contained, with its own street entrance, but it is part of the Charit Hospital and on the edge of the hospital compound. The Axel Springer Foundation endowed the hotel, hence the name. Which means that the hotel has a hospital atmosphere: Everything is subdued and at the same time efficient. Lots of signs about masks and hand-washing. For me the slightly clinical atmosphere was a plus: I value calm and privacy above all. There is zero chance here that your upstairs neighbour will be having a dance party. I was also thrilled that a Rowenta silent fan was put into my room to cope with the summer heat wave (the room was not, as far as I could tell, air-conditioned). If you are fan fan then you will know how good Rowenta fans are. That particular touch showed real taste.
  : Having praised the inner quiet and calm of the hotel, one has to bear in mind that hospitals work around the clock. My room was to one side of the garbage-bin area, so I had to accept that heavy trucks were liable to arrive from time to time to clear the waste. This wouldn't normally have been a problem; my room had double windows which were pretty good at damping noise; but in an August heat wave, it was hard not to leave the windows open.
