I was looking for a room for 2 nights in Berlin, the things that were important to me were free wifi (in room), distance of the hotel to public transportation and also distance from the bus terminal, I looked at many hotels but I settled on hotel de France because it was supposed to have all those things, it was just 1/2 block from the rehbarge u bahn station, just 1 train from the habahnof station and just 1 transfer from the Berlin zob, I arrived here on a Monday night around 9pm and was able to check in without any issues, I always came back to the hotel late and I never felt like I was in an unsafe area, there are a few banks and a lot of restaurants and Turkish food a few blocks walking distance away, the room itself was clean, just 2 twin beds pushed together, bathroom was great, plenty of chargers and a TV on the wall, my main issue with the hotel was that it was advertised that's wifi was available in the room and I even picked this one over other hotels because of this but this was a lie, it works just fine in the lobby but not at all in the room when I went to the desk to ask about it, it didn't seem like they were even surprised that it didn't work. Another guy at the desk proceeded to tell me that it needs to be fixed but don't expect wifi in the room at all, sounds shady to me, so many good things in this hotel but the wifi thing kind of pissed me off especially because I was relying on wifi during my trip read more
