A&I Koenigshof Hotel, Berlin

Advantages: Very stylish, good staff, fantastic breakfast
Disadvantages: Street noice if you are in the front of the hotel, distance from town

...This is fantastic hotel. I staid here with my wife for 5 days and we just loved it. The service staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are super stylish and the breakfast is very good. The breakfast room is located at the top floor of the hotel, so you have a panoramic view over Berlin. You can plan your daytrip while having breakfast. It's located at the Ku'Damm which is one of the nicer and bigger streets in Berlin. The bus stops in the nearness of the hotel, but you need to walk a bit. If you travel with suitcases, you should take a taxi. IMHO, this is a hotel where you can be sure that you have a really really good stay. And Berlin is just THE town to be...... Read review

Advantages: Relatively cheap, fantastic service, handy location
Disadvantages: None

...I have stayed at this hotel twice and it really is great. The staff are really friendly, speak perfect English and cannot do enough for you. For the standard of service and room you get, this is a bargain. We paid less than £100 a night. It is well situated, next to the zoo, near good shops (KDW is within walking distance) and near a main train station with direct links to Berlin - Schönefeld airport (this is the one I use so I don't know about Tegal). You cannot beat the breakfast - absolutely amazing and the little biscuits and cakes you get with a cup of coffee in Marlenes are delicious. I lost my purse the second time we stayed there and when they found it, the manager telephoned at home to tell me it was safe and then posted it back to me. Stay here if you visit Berlin....

Advantages: Cheap, plenty to do and see, shopping!
Disadvantages: Not enough to make a long trip

...Berlin isn't one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, or even in Germany, and at first glance it's easy to see why. Much of the city, particularly the East, resembles a building site, and it doesn't have the attractiveness of many other German cities (Munich and Heidelberg spring to mind). That said, there's a lot for Berlin to be proud of. It has some superb museums and galleries (those around the old Wall are particularly moving), an excellent Zoo and well tended parkland away from the traffic. I personally recommend a trip out to the Olympic Stadium (take the U-Bahn), which is incredibly impressive. Accomodation varies from bargain student hotels to five star and although Germany is hardly renowned for it's food, the many restaurants will cater for all tastes (if all else fails, hit the McDonalds). Nightlife... Read review
