Holiday Inn Berlin Schoenefeld Airport, Berlin

Holiday Inn Express Berlin-Anhalter Bahnhof

Advantages: central location, excellent beer, friendly staff, clean and modern
Disadvantages: no leisure facilities

We stayed at for a week in December 2005, for a Christmas shopping break. We stayed in a double room, Bed and Breakfast. The hotel is in a central location a 5min walk to the nearest S-Bahn station which is Anhalter Bahnof Its walking distance to Potsdamer Platz where in the winter is a Christmas market with mulled wine, hot dogs, lots of craft stalls, shopping centre, the Sony centre and a snow slide (where you slide down a slope in an inflatable ring) We booked the hotel direct on the Holiday Inn website a week or so before hand - the member of staff I spoke to was very helpful. The hotel was clean and modern - it must has only been built in the last few years. reception staff were friendly and everyone spoke good English. The hotel has a bar some vending machines - but no leisure facilities. The room was not large but ...

Review of Holiday Inn Express Berlin-Anhalter Bahnhof, Berlin

Ich Liebe Berlin!

Advantages: Fabulous location, excellent staff, superb quality!
Disadvantages: None!

the hotel from Schönefeld Airport, all you need to do is get the 'AirportExpress' train straight from the station at the airport to Banhof Berlin-Friedrichstraße which takes about half an hour. The trains are pretty regular as well, so you'll never be waiting around for long. My boyfriend and I got a little lost trying to find the hotel from the train station, but it's really easy to find, we're just daft. As long as you have a map with you, you're sorted. The hotel was situated near the S-Bahn (which is the above ground trains), the U-Bahn (the underground) as well as a number of other public transport facilities such as buses and trams, but we found that it was just as easy to walk loads of places. A romantic walk along the River Spree will take you to Brandenburg Gate as well as the Reichstag. If you turn left heading out of the hotel, you ...

Review of Meliá Hotel Berlin, Berlin

Berlin! Berlin!

Advantages: Germany's capital and most interesting city
Disadvantages: a bit too large, distances too long

the West and the Brandenburger Tor in the East, a double line of granite stones in the asphalt shows where the Wall was, all tourists want to know, understandably the Berliners are not so keen. The area in front of it (on the western side) is the place where Berliners meet for spontaneous manifestations or outdoor parties, when I was there this year at the beginning of October, Coca Cola was organising a gigantic spectacle on the 2nd and 3rd October with live bands, 500.000 spectators were expected. October 3rd is the national holiday commemorating reunification, nice to see that it was celebrated with music and not speeches. Standing in front of the Brandenburger Tor we turn to the right and walk down the street for about 200m until we come to the much debated Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe which was opened to the public in 2005 ...
