The Reichstag is a short walk away: the Hotel Amelie Berlin, on Reinhardtstraße, is about 10 minutes on foot from the German Parliament building. It is a simple 3-star hotel with 24-hour reception and free Wi-Fi, designed for exploring central Berlin on foot and coming back to sleep without depending on the U-Bahn.
Location and getting around
The Brandenburg Gate and Berlin Hauptbahnhof (the main station) are about 15 minutes away on foot. Museum Island and the Gendarmenmarkt are about 20 minutes away, and Alexanderplatz about 2 km.
With these distances, you can see much of the historic centre without transport: one day towards the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate, another towards the museums of the island and the Gendarmenmarkt square. For the East Side Gallery or the west of the city, you will need the train or U-Bahn.
