Talk about cheap campsite! They claim to be the cheapest campsite in all of Berlin and I believe…read moreit. Had I known about the price for the hotel/hostel, I probably would have chosen that option. 1) The place operates as cash only 2) They offer breakfast but that begins at 8:00am. 3) To get to the place, take the U7 to Holzhauser Strasse; take either bus X33 or 133 in the direction of Rathaus and pay attention to the bus' stop info and get off at Gartenfeld 4) The driveway (Gartenfelder) is not paved and not lighted 5) Yes the location is near Tegel airport but the flights stop after 11:00 pm, oh and within zone B (for your bus ticket, pass) 6) The bathrooms are super clean and the shower water VERY HOT.
