The Pension I Berlin is on Gneisenaustraße and has rooms with a seating area, TV and a kitchenette corner with a kettle and coffee maker. Bathrooms are shared. It is a good fit if you want a simple base, organise your own meals and do not mind sharing a bathroom.
Location and getting around
Checkpoint Charlie is about a 25-minute walk and Potsdamer Platz about 35. Gendarmenmarkt is around 40 minutes on foot. The Brandenburg Gate, about 2.7 km away, and Museum Island, about 2.9 km, are easier by U-Bahn or taxi.
For Alexanderplatz or Kurfürstendamm, which are further, count on public transport.
Rooms and facilities

Who it suits
