Hotels in East Berlin

"nice location I perceived staff at the front desk as rather impolite. Later I understood this is probably because I am not used to the rather informal way common in Indian culture. My room had no window directly leading outside. There is one window towards the corridor and the corridor has windows towards the yard. Consequently I felt a bit as if I was living in a cave. I had to keep the anyway pretty dim light on throughout the day whenever in the room. I had to keep the curtons of the window towards the corridor closed all day because otherwise people passing by could see everything in the room. air conditioning: Every room along my corridor had one conditioner exchanging air between its room and the corridor. Then there are a few air conditioners connected to the outside yard. By cooling the rooms the air conditioners heat the corridor. The air conditioners connected to the outside were ony a few, hence the corridor was really hot. All the conditioners run on full power 24/7 because the ones towards outside are too few and the ones for the rooms struggle because the temperature exchange is hard if the corridor is already super hot. The rooms still got quite cold. But you had the constant noise of all those air conditioners running on full power also during night. - loud fridge 24/7; top compartment one solid block of ice; had to unplug fridge and defrost; collected water and cleaned fridge inside and outside with towel as fridge was disgustingly dirty - stains; bugs"
