Hotels in Berlin
Cheap for a capital, spread across several centres rather than one, and a city where the district you pick changes the trip completely.
Berlin has no single centre. The city was divided for forty years and grew two of everything, so the museums, the nightlife, the shopping and the government quarter are in different places, and there is no address that is close to all of them. Decide what you are actually here for before you decide where to book.
It is also cheap by capital-city standards — noticeably cheaper than Munich or Hamburg, let alone Paris or London — with a large supply of big modern hotels and hostels alongside converted apartment buildings. Rooms are generally a fair size and lifts are normal.
The transport is excellent and runs all night at weekends, which makes the sprawl manageable and means staying outside the tourist core costs you very little. Prices spike around the largest trade fairs and the film festival rather than with the seasons.
Where to stay in Berlin
The area you book in changes the price and the trip more than the star rating does.
Mitte and the government quarter
The historic centre, the main museums and most of the landmarks visitors recognise. Largest concentration of hotels, most convenient for a short first visit, and the least characterful part of the city after dark.
The eastern districts
Where most of the nightlife, independent restaurants and street life are. Fewer large hotels, more small and design properties, and the reason a lot of people come to Berlin at all.
The west
The old West Berlin centre — department stores, grand avenues and a more traditional, quieter hotel stock. Well connected, usually better value, and further from the fashionable side of the city.
Stay near
Most people pick a hotel by what they want to be next to. Each of these searches Berlin for stays around that spot.

Berlin: common questions
Which area of Berlin should I stay in?
The historic centre if it is a short first visit and you want the museums and landmarks on foot. The eastern districts if you are here for the food and nightlife. The west if you want a quieter, more traditional stay at a better price.
Is Berlin expensive for hotels?
No, and it is the cheapest of the major German cities for a comparable room. The exceptions are the weeks of the largest trade fairs and the film festival, when rates across the whole city rise sharply.
Do I need to stay centrally in Berlin?
Less than in most capitals. The public transport is fast, comprehensive and runs through the night at weekends, so an outer district is genuinely convenient. The bigger question is which part of the city suits your plans.
