“Great for business or touring on a budget.”

Smallish but comfortable single room, still much better than similar budget hotels in the UK or northern Europe. Superlative buffet breakfast - huge variety of good quality traditional German, continental and American foods including fresh fruits. Very courtious and helpful staff. Reasonable and good internet: Euro 2 for three days unlimited use. Excellent location, a short and quick bus ride from Tegel Airport, and with excellent connections to the Brandenburg Gate / Bundestag and accessible to major attractions. Just down the block from the Ministry of Interior and near a few non-touristy restaurants and traditional pubs. The immediate neighbourhood is non-glamourous residential, kind of like Brooklyn. Ok to walk around in and explore if you have nothing better to do. Some impressive semi-antique furniture pieces in an oldish but clean and comfortable building with bits of nice woodwork.
