The hotel offers breakfast included booking, but at the next morning the surprise is that it is not included, and you nust pay 12€ per guest. So if you want to pay that night and look for other hotels, forget it .. they don't accept it and they advice you thatyou can leave the hotel but you must pay for the whole period you booked for.
The first two nights we receive the 009 room, avoid it !! Ground floor, ridiculously small, old mattress that pushes you out of the bed, no air-conditioning, no fan .. and Berlin at 31°C in August.
Its fair to say that the room seams clean when you arrive, but during our five nights stay (the lastt hree we received a better and bigger third floor room .. with fan!), the rooms were not cleaned, only a towel change if you let them in the floor.
So would I recommend a try in the Novum Hotel Gates Berlin? .. absolutely not!!!
