In January I stayed at the Meininger Hotel Hauptbahnhof Berlin, it is literally outside the central railway station, you cannot miss it - turn right when you leave from the main entrance, and there it is at the end of the taxi ramp. New hotel, really clean, nice room, and cheap - I paid 160 euro for five nights for a twin room. It is quite a large hotel, with a mixture of hostel accommodation and hotel rooms, so there is a real mix of people from backpackers up to the retired set. Breakfast was about 5.50 euro each (I didn't try it), there is a bar in the lobby, and a kitchen if you wish to use it. I found it a little noisy at times, but I was still able to sleep at night. It is about a 10 minute walk to the Brandenburg Gate. For me it was ideal - I needed something close to the station also, and something cheap. But I also got a decent, clean and nice room - it was just the noise that put me off, but I would stay there again. Hope this helps.

There is an Ibis adjacent to the station but many more options a quick S or Ubahn ride away.

You can use bookings.de to search by area. We stay in Mitte and walk to the main station or use the excellent Berlin transport system.

the price was right and its close enough to walk to the station early in the morning.
