Good budget hotel in Berlin
My room was one of the more budget-friendly rooms, and despite that, I still found it be one of the most spacious rooms I stayed in throughout Europe. It was a comfortable setting, with a large bed, a big sofa, a desk, and a big window facing the street. Wifi was also good. It was certainly more than what I expected given the price I paid. The only quirk with the hotel was the doors - there was no keycard entry, but a fob. Once the fob unlocked the door, I had trouble actually opening the door, as it was not a simple door knob - maybe it was just me, but I would recommend that guests from outside Germany ask for assistance in learning how to open the door. Otherwise, the hotel was situated in a pleasant part of Berlin, with many shops and restaurants. There were many Turkish restaurants and cafes nearby, as well as an Asian grocery store next door and a more general grocery store about two blocks away. The hotel is well-served by bus, and the nearest S-Bahn station is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel (Julius-Leber-Brücke). The hotel is not exactly near the center of Berlin, but the S-Bahn serves Brandenberg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, and Alexanderplatz within about 30 minutes. While there was breakfast offered at the hotel for a fee, I opted to explore the nearby establishments. Overall a good stay.
