Hotel Neuer Fritz Berlin

Near Museum Island. Great water pressure (actually put out water faster than it could drain!)

Area around great walking/metro. Hotel has fab breakfast and pizza

“The hotel is in a great location—close to the train station and convenient for exploring the city. The kitchen is well equipped, and there’s a grocery store nearby, which makes it easy to prepare meals. I highly recommend this hotel for first-time visitors

I looked at many hotels, but none offered this spectular BALCONY view over the Spree! The location is AWESOME in the center of all the historical sites. We walked 20-25 minutes to The Brandenburg Gate / Reichstag / Checkpoint Charlie / Mall of Berlin. The restaurant choices around the hotel were mind blowing. Recommend Factory Girl for breakfast. The falafel place outside the station was good good ate a Falafel & Houloumi wrap EVERYDAY. Thai soup inside the station was also great. Yes the other reviews are correct, you need to do self check-in with a kiosk in the lobby even when a receptionist is present. It litterally takes 5 minutes and really people net to get over it - its their system. Yes the pillows are way too soft, it didnt bother me I jsut stacked them, but along with the inidivual sized comforters (instead of a king size) it did bother my husband and he had poor sleep with jet lag for 2 nights. If you are a difficult sleeper this may not work as the bed is definitely harder than the US. And there is dim lighting in the entire room and restrooms - hard to see when getting ready. BUT for me, the room was larged sized with great decor, and the VIEW from the BALCONY was so mesmerizing. Sat every day in the balcony morning and night and could see the TV Tower in one direction and so many boats cruising and people crossing the bridge next to us! WONDERFUL!!
