“Meininger Hotel Berlin Hauptbahnhof strikes me as a practical base for exploring Berlin, mainly due to its location next to the central station. The mix of private and dormitory rooms, along with social spaces like the 24/7 bar and game zone, suggests a design that encourages interaction among guests. For those prioritizing access to transport and a social atmosphere without high costs, it seems like a reasonable choice.”

central train station good breakfast friendly staff small room uncomfortable layout tiny kitchen
The location is definitely a plus. It is at a walking distance from the central train station. The breakfast was ample and had a good variety of cold cuts (i was particularly impressed by the selection). Staff was friendly.
The room I had was quite small for a triple room. The layout was not comfortable. The guest kitchen was also small, considering the size of the hotel.

The location was certainly great. It was close to the main train station, this made access to the airport easy.
I was disappointed the room felt quite small. There was no tea kettle and NO fridge. This was really INCONVENIENT.

tiny room small bed
The location is really convenient as it is near the main train station.
The room was TINY. If you have luggage, it will be hard to fit. The twin bed was also too small for one person. I felt very squeezed and UNSLEEPY. it seemed like a waste of money.
