The room was more than adequate - quiet and clean. It was good value for money. Staff were generally friendly and helpful, if at times a bit unresponsive. Breakfast ( 8 €) was good, with a nice range of fresh items. Transport into the centre of Berlin is a bit of an issue, although the Metro tram M50 stops almost outside the hotel. The problem is that the trams run rather infrequently in the evenings and at weekends
( either every 20 minutes or even every 30 minutes) However, the U2 line to/from U-Station Pankow is good as it takes you directly to Alexanderplatz, Friedrichstrasse, Potsdamer Platz and Kochstrasse
( Checkpoint Charlie). You have to reckon, for example, on 45 mins to an hour from hotel to Potsdamer Platz. The S-Bahn Station Pankow has a direct slowish, S-train to Schoenefeld Airport, which runs every 20 mins. and takes about 45 mins. So, again an hour and a quarter from hotel to airport. Staff were helpful with travellling info.
