Learn about the scandalous crimes committed by those once incarcerated at The STASI-prison and find out what it was like to be locked in one of its grim cells.

The STASI-prison is a worthwhile place to begin exploring Lichtenberg. This historic jailhouse comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Save time for other sights like Alexanderplatz, Brandenburg Gate, and Reichstag Building to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)

Location of this hotel is good, walking distance to many main sites. The hotel it’s okay, very basic accommodations, carpet in rooms and hallways are stained and don’t look clean. Breakfast buffet is good, sign up for be Melia membership and you’ll get a 2-for-1 discount regular price is 28 Euro p/person. We experienced an issue with our A/C and was fixed in a timely manner. Check in was smooth and Tamara in the reception was very helpful and friendly. On the other hand, the concierge was rude and didn’t seem interested in assisting us. We were standing in front of his booth for a while and didn’t talk or even asked if we needed help, until we asked if there was anyone who can help us, and when I asked if he spoke English he said “sometimes” like he was bothered he had to speak English. I’m not sure if I’ll choose to stay at Melia if I visit Berlin again. I’ll probably stay in a different area of Berlin.
