The rooms were quite spacious and had modern decor, providing a comfortable retreat.

I recently had a pretty decent stay at Arcotel John F Berlin. The location is prime, close to many attractions and surrounded by great cafes. My room was spacious and quiet, but the decor felt a bit dated. Despite the friendly staff, I ran into a few bumps with service, as they didn't always seem super attentive. Overall, it's a good spot for a short city break if you're looking for something practical and central.
