This place is gorgeous.
It's not a hotel in the commercial way, so don't expect a cheap kettle and coffee sachets in your room. This hotel is based inside a gorgeous old historic building. The stay here was truly wonderful.
The staff, especially the handsome breakfast server, were all very attentive and professional. I doubted whether my return taxi they booked for me at 4.30am would be there, but it certainly was!
Who doesn't want a beautiful chandelier in their bedroom? Or an oversized mural of a Marlene Dietrich above their bed?
The mattress was, thankfully, firm and the bedding was clean and new.
The room has incredibly high walls, giving a real sense of grandeur.
It had all I needed for my short stay.
The built in en-suite had black slate tiles and was contemporary and finished to a high standard.
Because the hotel is situated inside an old building, the heating was provided by a radiator - which more than heated the room in the -13°C temperatures of Berlin in winter.
Breakfast is served from 7.30 into 12, and there's a huge selection of food to get your day started. Including personally cooked eggs by a rather dishy cook 😍
But possibly the best part was using the old wooden elevator to get to the 3rd floor. It made me feel like I was in a period piece drama from the 1890s.
If I'm ever lucky enough to get to Berlin again, I would definitely stay here. It's a shame I was only staying for 3 nights.
