Pension Absolut Berlin

The place is kept very clean and the location is great with easy access to the heart of Berlin. My problem was with the service. When I arrived, I asked for an extra blanket. Apparently this was something the front desk woman needed to clear with the manager because she wasn't sure where the blankets were, if there were extra and if she could give me one for free. Her manager approved and I got a blanket. The next day my light wouldn't turn off. Meaning that for two nights the overhead light in my room was on. I asked the front desk woman about the light and she said she'd look into it. She even stated that she noticed a problem with the light when she put a blanket in my room the first day. When I returned that night, the light was still on and I ended up unscrewing the bulb so I could sleep. I told the woman that the light was still on when I saw her the next morning. She said she couldn't figure out how to turn it off. She didn't offer to move me, nothing. I figured she had spoken with the manager since she needed to clear giving me a blanket with the manager first. Nope! When I checked out, the manager was there. I told her I'd been unscrewing the overhead bulb at night to sleep. She hadn't heard from the other woman. She also wasn't concerned at all. Didn't say sorry or anything. I then asked if I could leave my bag with the front desk as I had a late flight. Nope. She said check out was at 11 and they couldn't help me. I'll stay elsewhere next time.

Spent three nights at this lovely, quiet, terrifically well situated place.
