Holiday Inn - the Niu, Hide Berlin Friedrichshain

I stayed here for 5 nights for the Berlin Marathon. I would have to say that overall I was very comfortable at this hotel. Yes it's a few kms away from the famous sights but the it's really easy just to jump onto the U5 line directly outside the hotel and it will bring you directly to the Brandenburg Gate in less than 10 minutes. The staff at the hotel were all kind, warm and friendlyl. Many spoke excellent English. The deco of the hotel had a cool vibe about it. Berlin is an amazing City that needs to be visited. The room is perfect for solo travellers and spotless clean. The only real negative comment I could make was no kettle in the rooms and the temperature of the shower needs to be a little higher. Other than that I really like this hotel and they run a good business.

Brand new and very clean. The problem is that the rooms are small, and Frankfurter Allée is a bit far from most tourist attractions. Still, it’s easy to get around with the S-Bahn and u-Bahn, and the hotel is next to a small mall with supermarkets, shops, and restaurants.

The staff is nice, the room is a bit small but so clean and good designed. The hotel offers free drink if you no need the per day room cleaning.
