Park Plaza Wallstreet Berlin Mitte, Germany

Huge comfortable bed in a quiet large room with a first-class bathroom. Staff were very friendly and all spoke English. The hotel is located in a commercial area in the Mitte area (centre of the old East Berlin) within walking distance of the galleries on Museumsinsel. It is located just a few minutes walk from the excellent U-Bahn, and easy to use underground system.

Breakfast in the hotel is expensive at €17-19 particularly if you only want something light. There is an excellent cafe on Wall Street 50-m north which has fresh pastries, fruit, yogurts, hot-food and more. The purpose of our visit was to see Berlin's contemporary art. Disappointed compared to the galleries in London and Paris. Don't bother to eat at Zum Nussbaum (16th century German pub) as listed in the guide books. Our meal was inedible.
