I found it a bit disappointing when I visited in the late 1990s, but they may well have improved it since. Good review. by torr

"How small it is," was what I thought when I walked through it the first time. Like many other Germans I had waited for this opportunity for a long time, for nearly 30 years it had been behind The Wall when you were a Wessi (a citizen of the Federal Repub ... Read review

Nice review - I first saw the Tor in 1990 on holiday with my parents. Dad took a load of photos of the area and the former East Berlin to try and capture it before modernisation and 'catch-up with the West' took over... and then left the roll of film in the hotel room! by JVL

Advantages: friendly people, great nightlife, great history/attractions, great transport system
Disadvantages: some may find Kreuzberg intimidating, Kottbusser crime rate is a deterrent

I can't claim to know the punk scene, but I do like Berlin. Great city. by torr

Enjoyable review. Glad punk is alive and well. Our local band is Beerzone. Let me know if you ever play local to Sussex (e.g. Brighton or London. :o) by rootle2

This is a relatively small hotel, so has a personal touch. It is an excellent hotel, great location and staff very friendly and helpful, nice restaurants nearby (try the Greek around the corner)!

Advantages: cheap, friendly, great facilities
Disadvantages: not the closest to the centre

We got into Berlin on the train at around 9pm and only had a map of Berlin in a guide book. The underground was hard to navigate for a tourist so we got a taxi to this hostel. It’s a 6/7 minute drive from the main station and the taxi only cost us 10 euro ... Read review

This pension is ideally located in the Ku'Damm area at the heart of the old West Berlin, which is close to the zoo and the main shopping district. A double room in this pension will set you back at around 80 euro, which might be a little bit more expensiv ... Read review

Advantages: reasonably priced, good location
Disadvantages: being apartments - having to buy your own cleaning materials

Berlin is not the No 1 city to go to if you're interested in Christmas markets, the one in Munich, Nuremberg, Dresden and Stuttgart are more famous. by MALU
