Albrechtshof

The room was clean and nicely designed, and the location was excellent. We found it easy to walk to the major museums and tourist sights, plus to walk to and from public transport to the Tegel airport.

While the staff were friendly, they weren't as helpful as we hoped they would be, as they needed to look online to answer pretty basic sightseeing questions. When we asked for suggestions of restaurants in the area for dinner, the staff member couldn't suggest anything other then their in house restaurant, nor any area restaurants with German cuisine, despite being located in a street full of restaurants, including three large German pub-type restaurants overlooking the river. (We had a lovely relaxed meal in one.) The next morning, a different staff member suggested we go significantly out of our way for breakfast, even though there were two simple but good cafes on the same street and an amazing brunch place (Zimt under Zucker) right around the corner.
