Maritim ProArte Hotel, Berlin

Advantages: beautiful, lovely weather, port aventura, aquaopolis, day trips to barcelona, cheap, safe area, bonavista market, close to airport
Disadvantages: rush for sunbeds in the morning!

...is part of port aventura, which was enjoyable but involved a great deal of queing and sunburn! There were plenty more activities offered by both the hotel and the area, such as swimming with sea lions and a variety of sports. HOTEL: The Princess Maritim hotel is the best hotel i have ever stayed in, although only 3 stars it feels like at least four. The hotel is immaculately clean and tastefully decorated, several computers with internet access are in reception which are cheap to use and one includes a webcam. The swimming pool and hotels facilities were ideal for all the family. The only slight disadvantage is that there was a mad rush for sunbeds by the pool in the morning but being a minutes walk away from the beach this was not too much of a problem. The food was well presented although slightly bland but this is to be expected when... Read review

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

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 went to Berlin Schoenefled with Easyjet and this is the furthest airport from town centre and to the hotel (Grand Hotel Esplanade), it took us about 1 hour. The closest airport is Berlin Tempelhof it would be about 20 minutes from town and 30minutes from Berlin Tegel Airport to town. Grand Hotel Esplanade is a 5... Read review

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
