Overall Rating
Excellent
Brilliant conversion of four 19th century gasometers into housing, offices, and a shopping and entertainment complex. We enjoyed lunch at Restaurant I Leoni, an Italian eatery inside Gasometer A.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Lifts to all levels in the public parts of the Gasometers, which are linked by accessible glass bridges. A level footpath takes you right round the complex - well worth the walk to admire this skilful conversion of old industrial buildings.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Can't comment on the parking. U Bahn Line 3 gets you right there - get off at the station called Gasometer. It's fully accessible and you come out just outside Gasometer A.
Accessible Toilets
Good
The only one we saw (and used) was a Euro Key toilet at the entrance to the U Bahn station - but you need a Euro Key.
Staff
Excellent
Friendly, helpful English-speaking waiter is the restaurant I Leoni.
Additional Information
Very good Italian food and generous helpings in an unusual and interesting environment.
