Watch Out: Avoid residential areas at night.
Scams: Hidden charges on bills.

Stay smart, stay safe.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Do your research, respect the locals, stay safe. — Berlin Bound

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.

Spent about $86/day all-in. Quality was above average.

My tip: avoid weekends.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.

Spent about $50/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: midweek is golden hour.
