Hotel City Green Berlin

Old flat now. Serves as. A. Hotel. Room had. A small kitchen. Heating worked perfect. Bathroom light above sink was broken. When arriving back at room, key did not work. Friendly receptionman walked with me to the other building and prepared it on the spot. That's what we call service with a smile. Getting things done. Only downside: checkout at 10.00h

Don't be deceived by the first look of it. I was though as it looks like a building block standing in the middle of a construction site. However, the interior was surprisingly nice. A bit like student dorm or studio flats rather than hotel rooms actually, albeit in a more luxury version. Good: 1. Close to public transport. 2. Specious room with lots of power sockets and storage spaces 3. very modern and comfy bath room and bed. 4. Plenty of natural light through huge windows ( at least the one I stayed ) 5. very affordable price, especially if you want to stay close to BER airport. Things can be improved : A few USB power sockets would be nice. Things to be aware of/ warned: If you are very concerned about cyber security as I am, you should take note. The hotel free WIFI is NOT password protected so there is zero security but even if there is one, you should know there is still risks. My SIM didn't work with roaming so I had to use the hotel free wifi for some urgent tasks. At first, the wifi name popped up on my screen was " Citty Guest ", I knew the spelling of double t looked dodgy but then that's the only one popped up and perhaps some German set up this spelled it wrong. So I used it. Then the day after when I used the wifi there were two available : Citty Guest and CITY GUEST. It was really unsettling to think that the one I used previous day might be a bogus setting up just to trick people into thinking it was the real one. When I asked the reception which one is the right one, I was told the " CITY GUEST " is the right one. ( My heart sank ) I made her aware of the existence of the one name " Citty Guest " but she just said she doesn't know anything about it and it should be ok. But if she knew nothing about it how can she know it's ok? She doesn't look more an IT expert than I am. To this day I still have no idea whether I was being tricked into using a bogus wifi connections and I was so nervous that I changed all my passwords when I got back home ( but it wouldn't help if the device has been hacked ) but just so you know. If you see both " Citty Guest " and " CITY GUEST " pop up on your screen, go for the latter one unless you have been told the otherwise.

Exactly what I needed, attending an event nearby, but also very close to train station so even though it's a bit out from the City it's no problem getting in and out, never waiting long for a train. Not much to do in the Hotel itself but it spotlessly clean, staff very friendly. Definitely use again.
