Pension Am Park

Close to Rewe mini-supermarket open late on Kaiserdamm Wifi worked well Great access to S+U Bahn - convenient for Tegel airport Lietzensee Park opposite was lovely Both Dieter and Busta were very friendly, when not talking about money!

No tea or coffee facilities in the room (but available in the breakfast room) Had to show receipt to confirm I had paid up front and booking included breakfast (but Dieter explained that policy had changed since I booked) which caused embarrassment, and was completely unnecessary - could be just a culture thing that I'm not used to. This is a private apartment block with the accommodation consisting of a small number of rooms on two different floors. Therefore after hours checking in involved a keybox which released your key via a keypad - so you just have to work out keys and which floor you are on yourself. Quickest walk from the S-bahn station at night was down a quiet road next to park - better to take the main road if on your own. Single room shared bathroom (bit inconvenient) had no bathplug (shower only) - would have liked a bath after running the Berlin Marathon. Door to single bedroom did not fit that well - crack in the top - not very soundproof. No secure left luggage facilities on day of checkout - used luggage lockers at Zoologischer Garten Bahnhof instead (4-6 euros - but you need euro coins)
