We stayed there five nights ago. We chose that neighborhood because it's near the airport and we…read morehad an early flight the next morning. The hotel is right by an U-Bahn station and within a short walk of an S-Bahn station, so I'd actually consider staying there for future visits to Berlin (i.e., not only when taking an early flight) because the cost is certainly more reasonable than in central Berlin. I'd requested a top floor/quiet room and we had no problems with noise. The rooms have a/c (not a standard option in Germany), although we didn't need to use it. The room was spotless, and the shower stall was a more reasonable size than the minuscule ones we'd encountered at several previous hotels. The front desk staff were all pleasant and efficient. There's also free coffee and gelato on the first floor. The (free) buffet breakfast was *terrific*; it was very extensive and everything tasted great (there was also a lot of meat, which we don't eat). The only reason why I'm giving three stars instead of four is because of the HORRENDOUS WiFi. Not only was it *incredibly* slow and not only did it cut us off frequently, but we had to stand by the door of our room for a lengthy period each time we got cut off (in order to get back online).

The room in this hotel is awesome. The bed is really comfy. The room is large. It's odd shaped…read morewhich makes it fun. Plenty of floor space for our two suitcases. Free coffee down in the breakfast area which we enjoyed on this damp cool evening. It's right across the street from a mall which was handy for a nice quick supper. There is a window across the entire wall of the room. So cool. The only reason I didn't give it a five star rating is because the front desk lady was kind of surly. We had been traveling all day and had a few questions about breakfast and other things. She seemed annoyed to be bothered. There was no one else waiting to check in. She didn't tell us about the internet password. I tried to call the front desk but no one answered. We walked down to the desk. She again had a bad attitude when we asked about the password. She said it was in the back of the little folder she had given us with the keys. She seemed to think we were stupid for missing it. Anyway, I recommend this hotel. Just hope someone else is working the front desk. Plus it's really close to Tegel airport.

Almost gave 5 stars, but my oroginal booking was moved around. Needed 2 adjacent rooms because of…read morethe kids, but we were moved two stories apart. The very helpful and friendly receptionist tried to fix it, but it was impossible as the hotel was fully booked. Would have been nice to receive at least free parking for the trouble.... Other than that: Clean! Cheap! Comfortable! Nice staff! Great breakfast! Good location! Hotspot wifi sucks and has to be paid for. Paid parking too..

We stayed there one Saturday night to catch a very early flight on Sunday morning out of Tegel. The…read moregentleman at the reception was extremely helpful and nice. The hotel closes the main door after 10pm and until early morning, however, he explained to us how we could easily access the property after hours. There are signs everywhere as to where to call in case one gets stuck outside and/or needs to reach hotel personnel after hours. The hotel is about a half mile (0.7km) to the closest U-Bahn station, the walk is in an area full of stores, people, so completely safe and not unpleasant even at late hours. We walked there to catch the U-Bahn to get into the city center, and later in the night to get back. Connections to the airport: via U-Bahn or two buses, otherwise a 10-minutes drive. Very convenient but consider driving or taking a cab if you have a lot of luggage (this is exactly what we did). Parking in their lot is an extra 6 euros. The room was not huge, but very, very nice, clean, complete with everything we needed. There is also free wireless. At this price, the hotel is an awesome deal! We definitely recommend it and will be staying there again as the need arises.
