Central Inn am Hauptbahnhof

Easy access from TXL airport via express bus (4 stops) and the local bus 245 (4 stops). Bus stops almost at front door. Hotel is two levels up. Small and good elevator. I was given two metal keys, one for the front door and one for my unit door. I was one person but was given room #2 which sleeps four. My room had a balcony ( but no outdoor furniture). If you are in room #1 please close your curtains as the guest in room #2 has full view from the balcony. The bathroom was very clean and good. The bathroom door opened only 3/4 of the way due to blockage by one of the beds. The shower door was awkward as the entrance was very narrow. Each bed had a nightstand and lamp. There was a large and bright overhead light. The TV was wall mounted and small, about the size of a large laptop computer. There was a desk and two chairs. The wooden parquet floor was very clean, if a bit worn. I easily took the local bus 245 to the Haupbahnhof and also Alexandra Plaza. There is a good neighborhood grocery store across the street which was surprisingly cheap by my standards. The hotel offered the option of breakfast for €10. I did much better by shopping myself. There is a decent, not great, restaurant on the ground floor. Their internet is very good! Internet was free. It worked ok, but slow and kinda flaky.

Very close ( walking distance / 7min) to the Bundestag and Brandenburg Gate

It is quite after 2 am every day. I never slept well when I was in the hotel.
