We arrived at Berlin Tegel Airport on an AirBerlin flight from Moscow on the evening of September 10th.
It is very easy to get from the airport to the hotel by bus 128, its stop is near terminal A. We drive exactly 15 minutes to the Hollä nderstr. /Aroser Allee stop, get off the bus, cross the street and we are near the entrance to the hotel.
Until 20:00 right at the Tegel Airport near Gate 2 at the Rewe Touristic Airport Service, you can buy a 5-day WelcomeCard, which acts as a ticket for all types of Berlin public transport and gives you the right to receive discounts on many Berlin attractions, a list of them is in the attached map booklet. All of Berlin is divided into 3 transport zones - A, B, C. Zones A + B - this is Berlin itself, if you decide to go to Potsdam on your own (and this is really better to do on your own, and not on a sightseeing bus), then you need to take a travel card A+B+C.
So, already 10 minutes after arriving at the hotel, we were in our room 611. The room is quite spacious, two large beds, a desk, a large wardrobe, a coffee table, 3 chairs, a large balcony, which is rare in this hotel, in the toilet shower, hair dryer, all plumbing in perfect order. It was not even the small old Grundig TV that upset me, but the fact that there was absolutely nothing to watch on it, only about 15 channels and all only German. However, the lack of television was completely replaced by the Internet, to connect via WIFI in the room you need to take the password and login at the reception.
Breakfasts in the hotel restaurant are not bad, but standard, they cost 8 euros per person, we went only once, on the first morning upon arrival. The fact is that the room has a refrigerator and a small kitchen, which includes an electric stove, microwave and sink. At your request, they can equip it - they brought us an electric kettle, all kinds of dishes, pots (for some reason without lids), a frying pan and even dishwashing detergent, in general, we had everything we needed for culinary experiments with German products. One caveat - the electric stove is turned on through a mechanical time switch for a maximum of 15 minutes, if you cook something longer, you need to turn it on again, apparently, this is protection from careless guests who forget to turn off the stove, in a hotel this can lead to a fire.
Just a 2-minute walk from the hotel there is a LIDL supermarket, the sign is located next to the entrance to the hotel, it is impossible not to notice it. The store is good but only open until 20:00, we often returned to the hotel later and it was already closed, so we went to its competitor NETTO, open until 22:00 and located near the Franz-Neumann-Platz metro station. The metro can be reached on foot in 10 minutes, walking further along Hollä nderstr. to the first big intersection, and then turn left or drive 2 stops on the same 128 bus, it runs every 10 minutes.
Room cleaned every day, no complaints. The hotel staff is friendly, as well as most Germans, no problems arose.
As in most city hotels, there is practically no territory, but in the courtyard, along the entire wall, there is a very nice artificial pond, something like a pond, there are even carps there. Too bad we didn't manage to take a picture of it during the day. In the morning, when we left, it was in the shadow of the hotel, and in the evening it was lit only by lanterns.
An important note for lovers of silence in the hotel. Due to the fact that the Tegel airport is located in the immediate vicinity of the hotel and the air traffic is very intense, literally every 5 minutes planes land over the hotel and make it quite noisy.
We were not particularly worried, we only spent the night in the hotel, and after a whole day spent on our feet, we slept like dead.
