Ok place to stay if you are on a budget. The hotel could do so much better if they take a couple of things into consideration:
1. Communication
Me and two friends stayed three nights at this hotel. Among four staff we approached only one could converse in English. I tried to ask for more toilet paper (we got only half a roll upon arrival) and a bottle opener (to open the bottled water the hotel gave us as a courtesy) in English, ended up receiving confused looks.
Luckily I speak some awkward German and managed to get what we needed. The ladies working at the hotel were all friendly to us and tried their best to help. But as it's a medium sized hotel in metropolitan Berlin taking international guests, it feels unfair to expect everyone to know German.
2. Noise
The easiest way to lock the room doors from outside is to slam it. Of course one could also lock the door with a key but all we heard was the bang.
Our air conditioning made quite some gorgoeling sound, too. Wouldn't recommend if you are a light sleeper or if you like to sleep through the day.
