Novum Select Hotel Berlin The Wall

Situation

Positiv: Gendarmenmarkt has some good restaurants varying in price and the hotel is excellent for many of attractions. Easy access to places with the U-bahn stations only a 5 minute stroll from the hotel, in either direction.

Negativ: Very busy round about with tourists - like myself! Quite a bit of construction work locally but very little or no noise problem, as we were out most of the day anyway.

Great location

Positiv: Pro: -This hotel is very close to the U6 stop which makes it easy to get to from TXL - It is like a block away from Checkpoint Charlie, several blocks from Topography of Terror. -There are several shops just across the street that have local artist/made souvenirs. -It is convienient to many places. I walked everywhere from this hotel. -The room is fairly large for an European hotel and is updated and very clean -nice walk in shower - the room included a double bed -i didn't eat at the restaurant but it looked nice. - Free apples everyday - The staff was incredibly friendly. I was give a map and points of interest were marked for me at check in - free WiFi - there was a towel heater in the bathroom

Negativ: Cons: - The area is under lots of construction. My room was on the 1st floor and there are new residences next door. As of April 2017 the construction has just completed the foundation so it will likely be going on for a while. I was only staying for 2 days, otherwise I would have asked for a room on the other side, away from construction. The construction started a 730. -there were no wash cloths - there was no conditioner or lotion - The breakfast was €17. There were tons of coffee houses and cafes nearby so it wasn't an issue.
