Location: Located outside of the center, about 3km. Moving to center very easy with the U1 subway line, Keisermuhlen VIC station next the hotel. 1 day ticket 7€, 3 day 16€. Moving from/to airport easiest to do with the airport shuttle bus, bus stop at the front of the hotel, return ticket 13€. More info from the hotel homepage.
Hotel: A little bit worned. Big rooms furnitured with the countryside style, will definitely split the opinions. There was a odd fragrance at the hotel, personately didn't like it, but you get used to it. I found the service very good and polite, maybe they could have more information with the neighborhood services. Rooms on the road side will suffer from the trafic noise. Keeping the aircondition at the max will cover the noise totally. I was happy with the breakfast, but I'm very easy to please at that area. But anyway, there were something for the everyone.
Area: Business and hotel buildings. Next the hotel is a gas station with the Spar, where you can buy water etc. Tonava park is in the walking distance from the hotel, a large nice place. I have to mention very nice Italian restaurant, Pizzakeller
Am Kaisermühlendamm 53. Excelent pizzas and very nice service.
