We chose it after reading various reviews and were not disappointed. We loved the high ceilings and old fashioned style, but slightly quirky feel it had, largely due to all the art in the public areas. Our room was an adequate size, though not large, but because we looked on to the courtyard it was very quiet, and the beds were very comfortable, so we slept well!
We stayed four nights, and had breakfast at the hotel each morning. The choice was excellent and the staff always friendly and helpful.
It is in a quiet area, and while there is not a huge choice of restaurants nearby, we did eat at three different places, all walking distance from the hotel. The train and underground services are a short walk away, and on the first day (when there was a train strike) we did in fact walk all the way to the Brandenburg Gate and further. However, we caught the 100 bus most of the way back!
