Whenever I visit Berlin, I invariably choose this hotel because it excels in every possible way: design, service, location, comfort, and more. Only once did I opt for a different option, and that was because my institution (a university) found it slightly over budget. That said, the value for money here is generally spot-on.
The hotel is currently undergoing some exciting changes—many rooms have been renovated, making them even more ergonomic and perfectly suited to guests' needs. For example, the bathtubs now come equipped with the same high-quality toiletries as the showers, plus bath salts. This is a stark contrast to the Melia in Vienna - another of my favorites, where the bathtubs are practically unusable because the toiletries are fixed to the wall in the shower area.
The rooms here are immaculately clean, thoughtfully designed with a workspace and a relaxation zone, and feature an incredibly comfortable bed. Breakfast is consistently exceptional—diverse, high-quality, and served with a beautiful view of the Spree. The addition of a bar where one can enjoy a meal is a welcome improvement, effectively addressing any minor shortcomings the hotel might have had before.
The only issue now is the TV remote, which operates both TVs in the room, so you have to put in some real effort to use just one at a time

Cool and quirky hotel. Loved the decor and theme throughout. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, particularly Merce who promptly fixed an issue with our safe. We had a river view room and the view was great. The bed was comfy and the room was very spacious, as was the bathroom. Hairdryer was powerful and there were plenty of mirrors and plugs (and a selfie light!) Also appreciated the de-mister mirror in the bathroom. Thought it was really good that you could choose to skip the room cleaning/new towels and receive free drinks vouchers to use in the bar. Enjoyed the different music themes in the lifts, and appreciated the free water and sweets in the lobby every day! The location was great - 10 mins down the street from Warschauer street station which has links to the whole city. The S9 from the airport is a direct train that takes about 40 mins. Also really convenient for the Mercedes Benz arena. Really liked the east side area and enjoyed walking up to Friedrichshain.
Only slight negatives were that the queue at reception at check in/busy times was quite long and the staff were very slow at checking people in. It also took a very long time to order a drink at the bar area. We also chose not to have breakfast at the hotel as we felt it was quite expensive in comparison to cafes in the local area.
Would recommend and would stay again if I was going to the Mercedes Benz arena.

What an amazing place! The bed was so comfortable, the water pressure was just right and the temperature of the room and water easy to adjust. The design of the room was really cool. The staff at reception, breakfast, and bar were thoughtful and accommodating, easy to work with and professional. The food was delicious, and the breakfast spread the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. With all this, and reasonable rates and easy accessibility to public transportation and local sites, I’ll definitely be back!

We were going to a concert at the Arena Mercedes Benz and the hotel was located 5 minutes on foot and 300 meters from the metro to go to the city center: ideal location. The view of the Spree river was very pleasant. The staff was very courteous and efficient, ready to answer our questions and requests always with a smile. The breakfast buffet was really varied and delicious with more than fifteen choices of very high quality teas or infusions. The decor and atmosphere, focused on the music and the artists, was truly exotic and original. Fun atmosphere, friendly and smiling staff, quality buffet, everything was really very, very good!

This is only a budget hotel, but at luxury prices. The bizarre and tasteless decoration theme is only the beginning of this "woke" horror story. The rooms have only the very basic amenities; those normally associated with a budget hotel:
The room has only basic vinyl flooring, there is TV set, the bed is rather too firm and there are no bedside tables. The heating system is quiet in operation. The room also lacks adequate mains socket outlets and in a modern hotel I would expect to see bedside USB chargers. Overall the room is cheaply furnished, hard plastic chairs, no sofa to relax on. The desk space is poorly designed and dysfunctional in a weird "teardrop"design.
The bathroom layout is poor, and the sanitary ware feels cheap, there is no bathtub, though the shower is excellent. The basin surround has inadequate space for you usual things, shampoo etc is provided via the same type of dispensers guy get a a budget hotel, the loo paper is thin and the loo seat has a crack in it due to the quality being inadequate for hotel use. There is no towel radiator, so it's cold towels for you.
The buffet food in the main restaurant was nice, but not excellent.
There is no room service, but the staff are pleasant and helpful.
Not all elevators go to all floors, you have to just keep pressing buttons until the right elevator comes.
I've rated this hotel according to the price paid and I'm sorry, but it falls well short of expectations.

The hotel has surprised us positively. The rooms were very clean and the staff were also very helpful and friendly. Very suitable for highly sensitive and noise sensitive people, as the rooms are very well insulated and you can't hear anything from outside.

Location good and fancy fancy hotel, but unfortunately the service was not appropriate. Neither at breakfast, nor at dinner or evening at the bar was the hotel able to provide reasonable service. Too many guests, but too few employees who know what to do! But you have to accept that as a new standard, but then the price should be off accordingly.

Upon our arrival we were greeted very friendly. The lift ride to our floor already provided the first joyful surprise. All the walls were decorated with flowers and on the ceiling are photomontages. Unfortunately, the race ended in 2. Floor. The room door open and the next surprise: everything in pink. The bed linen, the tiles in the bathroom, the sink, the phone on the desk. Even in the breakfast room it went on like this😃 Pink rolls, Pink Hollywood swing on the terrace, Pink pavilions, just wonderful! We just felt comfortable, thank you very much!

You can see that the hotel is a bit "old". A renovation would be appropriate here and there.
The breakfast buffet did not live up to its promise. For example, there were no freshly prepared egg dishes (e.g. omelettes) served at the table, as was written on the table. Only self-service. This was different during our previous stays at the NHOW a few years ago. I understand the lack of staff given as the reason, but then €31 for breakfast per person per day is definitely too much. It is much better on every cruise ship!
The rooms are OK, but much too cold. TV reception was only possible intermittently (probably because of the unstable WiFi connection).
All in all, only "satisfactory" and no longer a real recommendation (as it used to be).
