Abacus Tierpark Hotel Berlin

For my daughter's birthday, we decided to do something special. A night at the hotel, followed by a pleasant day at the Tierpark. I'm glad my daughter loved the hotel, especially as she'll easily find any hotel good in the future. The building dates back to the DDR, and the curtains in the room apparently haven't been washed since the fall of the wall (horrible smell). The hairdryer had the on/off button sunk in (it was difficult to use). Few of the showers in the Wellness area worked (but the 20 euro charge worked perfectly well). The coffee machine in the lobby didn't work; Right at check-in, the friendly receptionist apologized for the restaurant serving pizza and curry Wurst for dinner. "No problem," I thought. Although I was expecting a restaurant and not a snack bar. The restaurant was an experience not to be repeated: - I ordered a quattro formaggi pizza, got a Margherita; - I asked for a large Radeberger beer, I got something that tasted like Sprite; - my wife asked for tea and a salami pizza; - the bill: 2x quattro formaggi, 1x elster and 1x tea. Not to be unfair, my daughter's Currywurst with Pommes looked good. But to get the "child vs. pommes" ratio wrong would be too much. Breakfast was plentiful, the bread was very tasty, but apart from that, nothing special. The coffee tasted like tea. The tea tasted like a sauna. The fruit juice seemed to have been made from the previous day's fruit salad. I'd like to add that the lack of extra items such as toothpaste, slippers, water and a bathrobe doesn't really help the welcome experience. The positive point is the staff. All extremely friendly and hard-working. Verdict ( ) I recommend it to everyone and will return as soon as I can; ( ) It's good, but it could be better; ( ) Only look for this hotel if you have no other option; ( X ) It would have been better to sleep at Tierpark. I bet the food for the animals would have been better.
