Lux 11 Berlin Mitte

I liked the restaurant, excellent food and very nice service. Location is great too. Reception area and friendliness of the staff too. The elevator and the corridor leave an impression that you are entering an old building; not very fancy for a design hotel. The room was very cold when I arrived (the guests are supposed to turn the heating themselves?!). Also the view on the backyard is not very nice either.

Great location for Mitte district, travel, shopping etc. and very good hair salon downstairs. Staff were not at all helpful when asked to assist with restaurant bookings/recommendations or usual requests that you might expect to be met e.g. a telephone call when the room is ready as it was delayed when we had arrived. Furthermore, we paid for a balcony room but did not get one. When we complained about this upon receiving the bill, we were told that some superior rooms had no balcony.

Location of the hotel is good. Many restaurants and shops around the area. The hotel staff did not give good instructions for public transport. The tap in the sink is very low makes it very inconvenient to use. You may not want to share your room with a friend that you are not too familiar with because its a open shower and sink area which is right next to the bed.

I was a bit disappointed as I expedted a better design/ quality. I booked a superior room but actually got a 30m2 double room with just one window. Also the traffic noise during the night was a bit ennoying. I would not recommend it to others as you can get better accomodation for this price, e.g. the "Q". Please see above
