Berlin is on the list of cities with a growing demand for short-term housing, so prices here are quite high. A room in an average or even budget hotel will cost 100$. Of course, prices may be a little higher, or vice versa lower, depending on the season and day of arrival. Since the concept of center in Berlin is vague, the main recommendation when looking for a hotel in this city is: choose one so that there is a bus stop nearby public transport, and ideally the metro. During my trip I stopped at Hotel City B Berlin Centrum, a compact hotel near the station Bulowstr.
Most of the rooms in this hotel are about 20 m2, with a large bed, TV, massive window and bath. On the outside, everything looks quite neat and clean. Photo of the room:
Some of the rooms overlook the courtyard, which has its advantages - cool shade and silence. The other part faces a busy intersection.
Wi-Fi works with a good signal, there is a hairdryer, but no iron or refrigerator. Also a big minus is the lack of air conditioning, I think it will be a bit difficult in the summer heat.
Breakfast at the hotel can be added, the price is $11 per person, in the rooms there is a “bonus” of expensive mineral water - $4 per bottle.
From Berlin's Hotel City B Berlin Centrum you can easily reach anywhere in the city, be it a train station, an airport or central attractions. You can check current prices for accommodation here. Below is the location of this hotel in Berlin:
If you are in the capital of Germany, then a good option to get to know the city is book a sightseeing tour.
