Danny could not have been more helpful. It was our first day and he helped us adjust. We rented a huge car and helped us park it and get out of the parking area. He went above and beyond.

    The hostel is located in a nice area, close to a metro station, from which commuting to the city center is fast and easy. The hostel was clean and quiet, and the room in which i stayed was spacious, and with a nice view. Also, the staff was very helpful and polite. Lastly, the breakfast was pretty good!

    Breakfast was good, lots of choice incl. fresh fruits and vegetables. Great location if you wish to stay in the city center. Also the distance to Lanxess Arena is only 2 km so you can take the Hohenzollern Bridge and easily walk there.

    Tho hotel has a great location- just a few steps from the city center and the river. It was very quiet area as well. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished, the staff polite and speaking English. We had some drinks in the lobby- the barista was very kind, cocktails great! There is on site parking, which was very convenient. Please keep in mind that for the parking the fee should be paid separately and not included in the price of the room.

    Quite close to the public transport and you can get to the city centre within 15-20 minutes. The host was very helpful when our neighbours had a loud party and solved the problem. Relatively cheap. Easy to check in and check out.

    The apartment was very spacious and clean. Though we only talked to the host via Whatsapp, interections were friendly and checking in and out was simple and easy. The location was great, in a very quiet area, but just a 10 min walk to the city centre.
