The hotel is located above Berlin Ostahnhof (East Berlin station), which has a number of takeaway eateries, pharmacy and a couple of supermarkets for convenience. It is however not within walking distance to some of the key attractions such as Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie etc and there is no close-by metro station. The room we stayed in had a lingering cigarette smell and the carpet is quite dated. Otherwise, everything was clean and had what you need.
