Palace Hotel Berlin, Berlin

Advantages: all
Disadvantages: ---

...of the Anreisestrecke and the number of persons flat. If one comes like me by intercity express train to Berlin, then, one could arrive under circumstances at the station zoological garden which on confessed very much sometimes and is itself a sight. The central station wider far stations are the east station, Berlin-Lichtenberg and on the area of the former Lehrter station soon although Berlin this one is still a construction site, as of 2006 but the great and modern the Berliner will be stations. Of all stations there are very good traffic connections with s and underground to the centre and to all urban areas which the hotel could possibly be. Of course one comes also by car to Berlin.

Disadvantages: a bit too large, distances too long

(pronounced Ber-leen, stress on the second syllable) This slogan has been chanted enthusiastically for ages whenever a German sports team made it to the capital for the last round, meanwhile it has left the confines of sports and is now even used by the Berlin Tourist Board for a campaign to attract visitors. I've been to four Berlins in my life: when in my mother's womb I was in Berlin, then the capital of the Third Reich, from the GDR (German Democratic Republic), where we later lived, I visited Berlin once in the 1950s, a much smaller city then (only the Soviet sector), but still a capital, the capital of the GDR.
