Eurail Hotel Stop: Hotel Spreebogen in Berlin

Where: Alt- Moabit 99, Berlin, Germany, 10559

If you're railing around Germany and stop in at Berlin, most likely you'll end up at the Berlin Hauptbahnhof (main train station), the flash new station built since reunification. (If you were in Berlin 20 years ago, you would've found Hauptbahnhof 5 stations to the east). Because of all this rebuilding, there's a bit of a shortage of hotels near the current-day Hauptbahnhof.

Having just been taken over and reopened in 2006, you could try the Hotel Spreebogen: although it's still one stop away from the train station, it's definitely one of the closest places and advertises heavily as being near Berlin Hauptbahnhof. This also puts you close to Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag, when you want to get into the political center of Berlin.

Hotel Spreebogen gets its name from the River Spree and is reasonably priced for its central location. It's also modern enough to have free Wifi available throughout, and if you want to have the best you can choose one of their Waterside Category rooms which have a view over the river (and one free bottle of water the day you arrive!). There are lots of package deals including "Magical Wintertime" and "Magical Christmas" deals, or regular rates can go as low as 80 Euros ($110, not including breakfast) on weekends.
