Here is an interesting former East German area. This area has magnificent buildings all around which was previously just piles of rubbles. There is of course this magnificent SONY Centre - worth visiting to enjoy the modern architecture.

Friendly staff. Check-in earlier is available if you pay 15 euro extra. The room was very clean. The hotel is near the metro station (3 minutes walking). Potsdamer Platz has a lot of restaurants to offer and the shopping area is really good (The Berlin Mall). I liked that they gave us complimentary drinks upon arrival in our room. The surrounding area is quiet, so if you want to have a good rest in the evening, this place is recommendable. On the check-out date, they were willing to store our luggage for a certain time. The lobby is spacious and comfortable chairs and sofa to rest on. It would be nice if they had a toilet downstairs so if it's not possible to check in the room yet the people can make use of the toilet.

The plaza is huge and quite easy to reach as it sits on both S- and U-Bahn lines. Also a short distance from key sights in the city (Brandenburg Gate, Hitler's bunker, etc.). The Sony Center is right off the square. The best part is seeing the footprint marked on the ground where the Berlin Wall used to be. A few slabs of the wall are on display with informative signs explaining things. Worth walking to it. I will be writing about it in my ilivetotravel travel blog!

Excellent views all across Berlin from the Panorama Point. Great to see all the modern architecture. Good place to eat. A highlight of our Berlin trip.

Def a sightseeing stop for tourist! Great places to have a drink and food or just hop on one of the city busses. Meet there with your group since it’s very central and reachable via S-Bahn Subway and bus Have fun!
