The location proves really practical near the underground. the personnel was helpful and pleasant (especially the receptionist, maik). i requested a quieter room facing the garden, and i received it, which i found useful. breakfast offered many options. It was tasty and well-stocked.
the air conditioning didn't work . this led to some discomfort, as i had to keep the window open, which exposed me to outside noise.

The room was spacious enough. The staff was friendly. The location is near transport links.
The noise insulation is not good. I struggled to sleep due to the noise of ambulances. The shower door did not close properly, so the bathroom floor was constantly wet.
