Checking into the Kanzler hotel is like travelling back in time and highly recommended for fans of…read moreDeutschland 83 - it is like walking into a retro version of Germany, the Federal Eagle on the entrance doors and portraits of chancellors on every floor take you back to a Germany of Deutschmark and Cold War. I loved the fact that it looks just like the hotels I used to frequent when going on business trips to Germany; all a bit bling (gold light switches!) and Dallas-era, just like you imagine a hotel room to look like when you've watched too many made for TV dramas. All a bit tired looking now, which adds to the retro charme. Each room doubles up as a mini apartment with kitchenette and built-in ironing board, and apparently some guests stay here semi-permanently. There's a laundry room in the basement, as well as spa and fitness room.

There are a range of rooms available, split between traditional hotel rooms and apartment hotel rooms. The staff are friendly and the customer service provided was good.

The bedding is German style so the pillows are very soft so not to everyone's level of comfort. The apartment rooms are cleaned twice a week and more cleaning is available for an extra charge. A basic cleaning pack is provided along with some initial welcome supplies of tea, coffee, bottled water and beer.
