The hotel blends harmoniously with the surrounding architecture. The newly constructed Hackescher Markt has a historical facade with french windows and shutters. The interior has a familiar and calming air. A homeliness partly owing to its youthful and agreeable personnel.

Advantages: friendly people, great nightlife, great history/attractions, great transport system Disadvantages: some may find Kreuzberg intimidating, Kottbusser crime rate is a deterrent
...This review of Berlin is based on my experience whilst on tour with my band. It focuses on the people in Berlin as well as the city. It is a general overview of my experience, not a restaurant or hotel review.
BERLIN FOR PUNKS & BANDS
My band have played in Berlin twice now and both times been received with open arms by old friends and strangers. We travelled to Berlin first of all in May 06 originally not knowing anyone or expecting anything. We knew we'd be meeting a friend of a contact from myspace but that was it.
The venue 'Wild At Heart' in Kreuzberg it turned out was great with good music, good PA and sound staff and punters. The management there provided us weary touring few with free beer and a decent backstage area and a free meal, with a vegan option if requested. It is here we met our myspace friend's friend. His...

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......

Advantages: famous, the TV tower and maybe also the worldtime clock Disadvantages: some places are dirty, some awkard people
...think that is a pity in such a famous area of Berlin that is visited by so many tourists. But at least the prices are quite low and you find everything you need- from food to books and clothes.
All shops open around 9am (some at 10am) and close at 8pm.
4. Hungry?
Nobody has to starve at the Alexanderplatz, there are a few possibilities to satisfy hunger.
For just a little bit money and very fast you can eat in one of 5 fast food restaurants, namely 2 Burger Kings, McDonalds, Subay, Dunkin' Donuts.
In the station are also a few more little snack shops.
Those who look for a "real" restaurant, can go to the Telecafé up in the TV Tower or you make a short walk to the HackescherMarkt, on the way you will pass by many restaurants. I can recommend you the Thai Inside, a very good Thai restaurant.
There are also a few coffeebars, like...

It must be very difficult to write a guidebook. So much information on a city or country to cram into one book small enough to be convenient for tourists. The guidebooks I have read (a fair amount- I like to plan!) tend to either have lots of information more
