The hotel is a 4-star accommodation that falls a bit short in terms of cleanliness for some rooms, but overall, it looks as pretty as it does in the pictures. The staff is friendly but had a couple of hiccups like opening the door early on checkout day. The location in Lichtenberg provides a good base for exploring Berlin at a more affordable rate compared to other districts. The dining options are varied, but the pricing may not always match the quality of the experience.

My stay at the Gand City Hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although small when the hotel is busy, were quite cozy. The service, while not entirely up to expectations, tried to make up for it with politeness. The location, especially due to its proximity to the tram station, was convenient with good public transport options. The dining experience, although taking its time, offered decent self-service food. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

I loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were stylish and had a stunning view from the top floor, just like in the pictures. The decor was really nice, and the flat-screen TV was a bonus. However, there were no kettle, shampoo bottles, or a functioning wall safe in the room. The air conditioning was reasonably effective.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and provided ample space to keep my belongings. The quick response from reception to move us to a quieter room when needed was greatly appreciated. However, the small size of the reception area during peak times was a slight inconvenience.

The hotel provided essential facilities like room service, laundry, and tours assistance. However, charging for parking when far from the city center was a downside in terms of value for money.

The hotel offers a nice upgrade in clean and spacious rooms, although the absence of the blue sheets seen in photos made it feel a bit stark. The service, despite some odd moments during check-in, was ultimately polite and accommodating. The location is very convenient thanks to its proximity to a tram station, though directions to rooms in separate buildings could be clearer. The dining experience was enjoyable overall, but delays reaching downtown were a drawback.
