“What struck me is its location, practically next door to Checkpoint Charlie, along with its modern, almost industrial design elevated by splashes of vibrant color; I imagine history buffs and business travelers alike will appreciate the easy access and unique aesthetic. The staff appears genuinely committed to service, even managing to turn around a lukewarm breakfast experience into a positive one, which says a lot. In my view, it's a solid choice for those wanting to be in the heart of things.”
