Hotel Siegfriedshof

The staff were very friendly and had arranged an early check in for us. The rooms were a decent size with nice high ceilings. The floors and bathroom were very clean. The hotel is handy for links via Lichtenberg station (5min walk). Breakfast was a nice selection, including hot scrambled eggs, breads, cheeses and cereals. It has a lift. The Wi-Fi works well in the room for my iPhone. If the stay had of been half the price (€45-50/night) it would have been about right and I would have been happier.

We booked this as it was the closest to where my family stay. It was a VERY high price for what you get and breakfast is extra on top (which made it €87/ night!!). The hotel is dated but I don't mind this if it is clean, which it was. It is just for this price you expect some comforts - such as a kettle, a TV with satellite channels or extra pillows. The non-smoking room was right next door to smoking rooms so the corridor really smelled bad! The heating is on full power but we couldn't open a window because of the noise outside (we were happy to be at the back of the property overlooking a garden but people seemed to congregate here at the back door for smoking and chatting until quite late.) The rooms are meant to be soundproofed but we heard all noise from the neighbours and corridor. I think it is used by tours maybe as groups of people seemed to arrive together, or maybe come back when the bars closed. I didn't sleep very well at all!

The assistance provided by reception as to travel arrangements was spot on. Next door to the hotel is an excellent German restaurant with an extensive menu and drinks list. There are some shops in the area.

The beds were not the most comfortable. No carpets makes the footfall noisy and resounding in rooms. The doors close noisily as they do not allow one to turn the handle. Breakfast was advertised on their site as included yet we were told that it costs 8 Euro's (fortunately the receptionist did not charge us). It felt like a HOSTEL rather than a HOTEL.
