Berolina Airport Hotel, Berlin

Advantages: Great value for 5* hotel, very modern, clean
Disadvantages: Air-con was broken down..

...Just came back from our long weekend (2nd May Bank Holiday, 26May-28May) with 4 other friends. We went to Berlin with Easyjet; it was about £120 per person (a little pricey due to peak period) and the flight time is a little inconvenience because it departed at 6.30am, and check-in time is from 4.30am so we took the last train from London Bridge to Luton airport (about 1hour). We got there by 1.30am and slept on the benches for few hours. There are three airports in Berlin, which are Schoenefled, Tegel and Tempelhof.

Advantages: Quiet, reasonably priced and comfortable
Disadvantages: Not really near anything

...which was just as well as my German is very limited. On the downside you are not really near anything. There is a railway station close by if you want to go into Berlin and there is also a church and a petrol station nearby. I was not disturbed by the trains and found the area very quiet. I had a little walk around the locality and found a bungalow that looked just like the cottage in Hansel and Gretel. The hotel also drops you back to the airport free of charge. I managed to get a very good deal on the Internet and would be happy to return for a peaceful break.... Read review
