Research trip to Berlin - recommandations

[Andreas Brekken]

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
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
