I am disappointed with my recent stay at SANA Berlin Hotel, especially as I had a positive experience last year. The standard has clearly declined.
On arrival, the apartment smelled of cigarette smoke, which is unacceptable in a non-smoking environment. Cleanliness was poor throughout , the dining table had visible marks from previous guests, and the headboard in the main bedroom had obvious spill stains, suggesting it had not been properly cleaned. Most concerning, the dishcloth by the sink was heavily stained brown, which is unhygienic and made the space feel dirty.
There were also maintenance issues. The towel rail above the bath was skewed and appeared to be pulling out of the wall, giving a neglected and unsafe impression.
Service was equally disappointing. For a week-long stay, I expected slippers and a robe to be provided as advertised without asking, particularly to use the pool facilities. By the second morning, when nothing had been provided, I had to request slippers and a robe myself, which should not be necessary.
Overall, the apartment felt unclean and poorly maintained. This was a stark contrast to my previous stay and reflects a clear decline in standards.
