Berlin Accommodations in Oct 2015

We've been going to Berlin since the 80s so we are used to staying in the western part and I couldn't even be temped to change this summer. We are going to stay in a hotel that is 1/2 block from the following: Wittenbergplatz, a multi day outdoor market, bus 100, KaDeWe, grocery store, bakery and lots more. We typically use one of 2 hotels. This year we chose the one that has kind of small rooms because of the price--$240 for 6 nights. If this location appeals to you let me know and I'll message you.

EDIT: 5 nights for $240, still a good rate for a Berlin business class hotel IMO.

And I am the opposite of the previous poster. I prefer to stay in East Berlin but I would make an exception for Kreuzberg.

The Mitte neighborhood seems to have the most hotels. The areas around Hackescher Markt, Museuminsel, and Alexanderplatz have plenty and are super close to most sites and the starting points of many of the historical walks you might want to take.

I like to stay in an apartment in Prenzlauer Berg. If you are interested in that listing, please PM me.

We were there last February and stayed at the Radisson Blu, literally next door to the Cathedral and the Museums. Generally I like boutique hotels, but I simply LOVED this hotel, and the location. Close to the bus stop, the Mitte trolley, and the museums.

We scouted various websites and I think expedia has a special discount offer with breakfast, which was very generous and kept us going all day.

Well if you're looking at accommodations you could try Roomorama. I was in Berlin recently and I booked an apartment through the site. There are quite a few options for couples, maybe it'll be suitable for you.

We stayed at Pension Peters recommended by RS and had a good time. The staff is great and helpful.

Last Sept. we stayed at RS recommended Karlito's Apt. It was not far from Hackescher Markt. Our apt. was very nice, and reasonable.

I stayed at the Mercure Checkpoint Charlie. I really liked the area - it was convenient both for walking to sights and for taking the subway and trams when my feet got tired. It was quiet at night and considerably cheaper than staying closer to Mitte (though that's a great location if it's in your budget). I was very happy with the Mercure too.

I liked the Maritim Hotel on Friedrichstraße. Very modern and stylish, and located within walking distance of the Reichstag, Brandenburger Tor, Unter den Linden, and the Museuminsel. For attractions further afield, the Friedrichstraße Bahnhof is right down the street.

I also stayed at the Steigenberger hotel right by the Hauptbahnhof, and although this was an excellent hotel, the immediate neighborhood is little more than a no-man's land of construction.

When I did the Berlin/Prague/Vienna Tour we stayed at the Kastanienhof Hotel. I liked the location in the neighborhood between Alexanderplatz and Prenzlauer Berg. There were local restaurants and it was easy to get to the S-Bahn. The hotel was great.

My recommendation is the Three Littlle Pigs Hostel in berlin "Mitte". It´s a former nunnery with nice rooms and lovely courtyards.

We stayed here, http://www.boutique-hotel-berlin.com, Mittendren B and B. It was very central and we walked everywhere, nice rooms and fantastic hostess and breakfast! Would stay there again! Have a great time, we really enjoyed Berlin.

yeman,

Another vote for Pension Peters. I found the room to be very comfortable, the staff were wonderful and it's in a nice area. There are lots of nice restaurants in the area, and it's within easy walking distance to both Bahnhof Zoo and Savignyplatz stations, so very convenient for transportation. I'll definitely stay there again on my next visit.
