"I'm a US citizen who was visiting Germany and these are my observations:
With it being a budget hotel, I expected fewer amenities; however, basic things like hand towels, wash cloths, and tissues were not in the room which was surprising. I've paid comparable rates (and sometimes less) for other budget hotels and those items were in the room. Hair dryers must be requested from the front desk.
The bed was relatively comfortable, though the blankets could have been a bit heavier considering I stayed in the winter months and the temps were in the 30-40 degree range. More pillows would have been nice too. The room was a bunk bed above and a full size bed below it. There was only one pillow for each bed.
The included breakfast was typical German fare, which I expected since I was in Germany. I would have liked a little more variety though. When you're staying for several days, the same menu gets boring. For those wondering what is included in the breakfast: Pretzels, bread/toast, bread rolls, raisin pastries, sliced deli meats and cheeses, yogurt, Corn Flakes, oatmeal, orange or apple juice, coffee, sliced cold vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and few others I don't remember. I had the salami and while it tasted ok, it left a film in the roof of my mouth that made it feel like I'd eaten a spoonful of lard and it was slathered onto the roof of my mouth. I gave it two tries and opted not to eat the salami again. I will say the bread rolls were amazing - a nice crispy exterior crust and deliciously moist on the inside.
The room setup was a bit different than I am used to. The water closet/bathroom only housed the toilet. The bathroom sink (very small and limited counter space) and the shower were IN the room. When you step out of the shower, you are in the room and not behind a bathroom door. There is no closet in the room and extremely limited space to hang clothes. If you're staying more than a few days, this hotel may not be a good option unless you're ok with living out of a suitcase for an extended period of time.
Location is in close proximity to the U train station which is nice. If you're looking for a hotel with things to do nearby, this may not be a good choice. There's a theatre across the street, a gas station/convenience store, and a grocery store nearby... that's about it."
