This was my first visit to Berlin as a tourist (I've visited for work once before). The location seems far away from many of the city's more famous attractions, but the integrated public transport is so good here, the centre is just a short tram ride away. The rooms are a little dated, but were spotlessly clean and I lucked out with a large suite, complete with mezzanine floor and balcony. The hotel has a great beer garden and the area around it is peaceful and green, just a short walk from the lake. Also highly recommended is the Jewish Cemetery, which is also incredibly close to the hotel. Although it's not a busy suburb, there were good restaurants within walking distance as well. My only issue is that I could not access wifi in my room, so that may be a deal breaker for some! It worked fine in the lobby, but if you come to Berlin and spend all your time in a hotel room, you're doing it wrong!
