Safety info for Safety & Police:

General: Reasonable in tourist areas.
Watch Out: Avoid residential areas at night.
Scams: Hidden charges on bills.

Stay smart, stay safe.

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

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.

Spent about $123/day all-in. Quality was above average.

My tip: avoid weekends.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?
