Just wondering if anyone can recommend a place to stay between Tegel Airport and the City Center that is near an S-Bahn stop in the 85-125 USD price range?
Ok. Thank You. I will look in both areas. Does Bus X9 go from Zoologischer Bahnhof to the airport, or do I have pick-up the TXL Bus at the HBF to get back out to Tegel?
For anywhere in Germany, bahn.de is very helpful for searching train/bus connections. It shows that one can get from the Zoologischer Garten station to Tegel on the X9 bus with 0 transfers (and 5 intermediate stops).
If you are just looking for one night, perhaps Motel One. It's a German chain that offers spotless, small rooms with a small dash of design flare. They generally have great common areas on the first floor. There are 2 within short walking distance of the Zoologischer Garten train/bus complex and prices are generally 99 euro per night or less. Sign up for the free "Be One" program and get a free bottle of water at check-in. I prefer family-owned places for long stays, but often choose Motel One for a night or two. I've stayed at Motel One in London, Berlin, Stuttgart, Bremen, and Vienna. Very positive experiences at all of them.
Well thanks for the tip. It sounds like a real good possibility. I'll look in to it.
Kevin.
