Holiday Inn Berlin - City East Side

I've been traveling extensively, internationally for years and this was the best decision I've ever made for travel. Literally the best possible location for Berlin experience. Extremely safe, quiet, hip, sleek/new, close to trains, tourist sites and the beautiful river. I was in Berlin for the first time to DJ two nearby venues -- it is close to all the major clubs (including Berghain, which I attended) but not directly next to them, so it's super quiet. Hotel is part of a BRAND NEW sleek complex attached to the new Mercedes Benz arena, with other hotels, loads of restaurants, cafes, and an amazing mall with grocery stores, clothes, hair/nail salons and drugstores -- which I took advantage of all. It's also close to both the U-Bahn and S-Bahn trains, the light rail and buses to get you everywhere. Also close to doner and pizza places :) There's nowhere else in Berlin that you can get the new/sleek/comfortable environment but also surrounded by authentic hipster Berlin and culture (next to Berlin Wall - East Side Gallery). The hotel itself has a great coffee shop, restaurant, and free apples at the counter! I interacted with the desk/concierge several times and they were extremely helpful and kind. All this and it's extremely reasonable and affordable. 11/10!

This hotel is superb even by Holiday Inn standards.

Staff were friendly, helpful and personable, the hotel was close to the U and S Bann stations, bed and room was comfortable, toiletries were provided and the room was also cleaned thoroughly every day.

The hotel was really cool, great area, friendly approachable staff and yummy cocktails

Great location. Good breakfast.
