Great location, lots of local action, bars, places to eat all around, easy walk to the metro station and Ostkreuz just down the road for trains to and from the airport. Slightly less convenient for things in the west of the city, but the public transport system is good as multi-day visitor tickets are useful if you just want to hop on and hop off all over the place. a Zone ABC one will include the airport and places like Potsdam and Oranienburg. The room was tiny, but clean and satisfactory apart from the wall safe not working, though I didn't ask them to fix it). There is a breakfast room, but i never figured it out as there never seemed to be any breakfast. But with a bakery just next door, that didn't matter. All in all I thought it was a great location and good value.
