Research trip to Berlin - recommandations
 

Hi, guys.

I am planning for a research trip to Berlin later this autumn or sometime during the winter.

Could anyone suggest a good hotel? My main concern is that I would need a stable and fast in-room internet connection - as I will be working from the room in the evenings - the hotel I stayed at the last time did not have the best of those.

Regards,
Andreas B

Andreas,
I use HRS
http://www.hrs.de/
where you can select your hotel and see whether they have WLAN etc.
There are other search machines too.
Obviously you can select the price too http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/images/icons/icon7.gif
not to mention the location (next to the S or U-Bahn)
Let me know if I can help further.

And I can recommend, not 1st class modern hotels but, two "Pensionen" with charm, style and history in central West Berlin that are affordable:

Hotel-Pension Bella
http://www.pension-bella.de
They have "W-LAN kostenlos" although I have never tried it. AND, at least a couple of years ago, the owner's father had been a Ju 52/3m pilot during the war...

Hotel-Pension Waizenegger
http://www.hotel-waizenegger.de
No internet access, I think, but very nice.

Hi Lennart,
yes the Pensions you mentioned have a very cosy feeling when I take a look
to their Internet presentation.

Thanky you, I'm always interested in "secret" travel suggestions (hotels, restaurant)
anywhere in the world.

best wishes,
FrankieS
