We just checked in today and I can't say I am thrilled. To be clear there is no air conditioning…read more The tv in the room is the size of an aging computer monitor. I booked a King sized bed, even sent an email to confirm it. I am not a small fellow, 250lbs. My wife is smaller but with us both on it at the same time it is not much space. This is a "full sized bed" in American terms. I ask the front counter about this and they advised me in Germany "King sized" just means one bed not two twins. None of the other two hotels I stayed at in Germany used this cultural norm I was unaware of. Also the bathroom is the size of a coat closet. When I stand in the shower my shoulders are an inch from the walls. The safe in the room was locked when we arrived, I will try and address this tomorrow. The neighborhood is decent, but pretty far from the city center or east side with most things I want to do. (I will own that one but it can be hard to tell when you don't know a city) When I discussed the bed issue the clerk did offer me a free bowl of fruit. So I may be sleeping on the floor but I will have an abundance of apples when I do it. If you are looking for a throwback 80s experience maybe this is for you. However do not be mislead that this hotel is anything close to the accommodations of an average Best Western. Also the elevator holds 4 people max, but that is being extremely generous Update: We were moved on day two to a better room with a bed we could both fit on Final update, the staff got us moved to a much better room where we could get a good night sleep after a fun day in Berlin.

Hotel Tiergarten is central and one stop from the main station with the TXL bus (or about 15…read moreminutes from the airport with the same bus). Friendly staff and very quiet rooms at least towards the back -- I could even open my windows at night. The breakfast is Ok. The rooms are clean, but come in very varying size from tiny to huge. This is probably due to the old building the hotel is in. If you like old buildings and want to stay in a central place at a budget price, you are right here.

(There were open tables) asked to sit at the bar to order and was told the kitchen is full too. No room.

It had that taste like you get when you brush your teeth or have a mint, then have orange juice. We wife got a pesto spaghetti dish. She said it was good but too much sauce. I got the rindgoulasch. The sauce was overly tomato-ey, didn't have the nice spices and flavors that goulasch normally does here. Spätzle is spätzle, but the beef in the dish was perfect. All-in-all we spent like €25-€30, and while the setting was great, the food really wasn't worth walking back down there for.
