Berlin is one of Europe’s great metropolises, with theatres and museums everywhere, and numerous monuments that show how this capital city wears its history on its sleeve.
I stayed in Meininger Hotel Berlin Hauptbahnhof for just £19 a night. Impressively this cheap price doesn’t reflect what you pay for – expecting to be confronted with small rooms and a broken toilet we were impressed to be greeted with accommodation of modern design, good location and an overall high standard of maintenance, in fact I couldn’t recommend this place more highly! This leads me onto another great bonus of Berlin: it’s friendly on the pocket without having to sacrifice the good life!
