Park Plaza Hotel Berlin, Berlin

Advantages: all
Disadvantages: ---

...the centre of Berlin not suited fine itself with the car there for strange drivers rakes confusing once but this is probably so in most cities now. Car parks are sowed rarely and traffic wardens are eagerly away to distribute tickets I have at least seen quite a lot of this. At long last, it would be well more practically, not to come the car unless there is a car park hotel of his own where one can let the car for the duration of the stay in Berlin. Even with the bus one can come to Berlin: Sound of the information in my guidebook drive from 300 German cities of busses to Berlin. If one comes by bus to Berlin, one usually lands at the radio tower at the central bus station, one can get in the centre with the underground from where. And of course it works also by aeroplane to Berlin: I know three airports although have, I have dark... Read review

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

When we arrived at the hotel (26thMay), we realised that it was the DFB Pokal final match for Stuggart and Nuremberg. The Stuggart team stayed at our hotel for the night. Although they lost the game against Nuremberg but they still had the celebration... Read review

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

...Berlin*, Berlin, Wir fahren nach Berlin! (Berlin, Berlin, We're heading for Berlin!) (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. After fleeing to West Germany I visited West Berlin, not a capital any more, but no ordinary city, either, it had become... Read review
