Baruth/Mark Hotels

The staff at the front desk was very friendly. The rooms were very spacious. I have a child. So, a baby crib was available and cheap. Only 5 euros a night. The breakfast was great.

If you are considering a trip to Berlin, stay at this hotel! In two years of consistent European travel, this has been my best hotel experience. It was the most unique hotel room I've stayed in (real oil paintings on the wall and beautiful room décor, no standard issue hotel stuff here). We were pleasantly surprised to find that our "three-person room" was actually a small suite with two separate bed rooms and a bathroom off our own private hallway- all at a very reasonable price. I can't say enough complimentary things about this hotel. It was situated on a quiet road, we had hot water instantly and the rest of the hotel was as charming as our room. The proprietor was most helpful from e-mail correspondence prior to arrival through phone calls directing us when we got lost on our way to advice on Berlin public transit. The breakfast was quite good, the owner speaks English and don't be discouraged by the distance outside of Berlin; 15 km down the road from the hotel is a *free* parkplatz at the S-Bahn station to Berlin. The heating system seemed to be working on an odd schedule (turning on around 9:30pm?) or perhaps was connected to when the lights were on.
