Bauhaus building with green roof top terrace – EP16

You know what caught me off guard about the Bauhaus building with green roof top terrace – EP16? I was expecting something cold and sterile – you know how some modernist places can feel like you’re staying inside a geometry textbook. But honestly, this place has soul. The moment you walk in, there’s this incredible balance between those clean Bauhaus lines and actual warmth that makes you want to settle in for more than just a night or two.

The real magic happens when you make it up to that rooftop terrace though – and I mean, you absolutely have to spend time up there. It’s not just green in that “we threw some plants on concrete” way that a lot of hotels do. They’ve actually created this little urban oasis with proper landscaping, comfortable seating areas tucked between the plantings, and honestly some of the best city views I’ve stumbled across. I found myself going up there with my morning coffee (the lobby serves surprisingly decent espresso, by the way) and again in the evenings when the light gets all golden and soft. There’s something about being surrounded by all that greenery while still feeling connected to the city below – it’s like having your own secret garden that happens to be four stories up.

The rooms themselves stay true to that Bauhaus aesthetic but in a way that actually works for real people, not just architecture students. Clean lines, yes, but the beds are genuinely comfortable and there’s enough storage space that you won’t be living out of your suitcase. I appreciate that they didn’t sacrifice function for form – the lighting actually works for reading, the bathroom has decent water pressure, and there are enough outlets that you won’t be doing that awkward phone-charging dance we’ve all done in older hotels. The windows are generous too, so you get plenty of natural light during the day. I will say the minimalist approach means you won’t find a lot of extra frills, but that 4-star rating feels about right – it’s polished and thoughtful without being stuffy. With an 8.8 rating from other guests, I’m clearly not the only one who thinks they’ve struck that balance pretty well. If you’re someone who gets energized by good design and wants a place that feels like a genuine retreat from the usual hotel cookie-cutter experience, this spot delivers on both fronts.
