Pension Parlamento

Location- • While many might look for places in the Mitte, this place is only a minute walk to the S-Bahn Train station and through the station to the U-Bahn train and the Tram to take you anywhere in the city. That may be faster than being in the center and having to walk far to a station. When it is cold/rainy/windy – you want to be near a station! • The area is considered the hip area of the city with many interesting cafes and restaurants. You can get a 20% discount on breakfast across the street at the classic German type bakery That is fine for coffee or to grab a sandwich or pastry that you can point to because the staff does not know English and are not very friendly. Enjoy one of the other many cafes where everyone speaks English and is friendly. • There is a big shopping mall a the train station where there are several supermarkets.. • There is a laundromat across the street, but it's easy to handwash a few things and dry on the radiator. Great Facilities – • There is an electric coffee pot at the entrance with a wide variety of herbal teas. • There is a small refrigerator for guests to use • There are plates, glasses and silverware so you can enjoy a meal in your room. • The rooms are brand new (they opened this year in May!) and very clean and comfortable • The showers are amazing! • There is a great key drop so you can get your key even if you arrive in the middle of the night. The owner will send you a key code. • The owner will do everything to make guest feel comfortable. After we complained the first night that the beds moved, he moved us to another room and within a day bought a new heavier bed for the other room!!!! Atmosphere - The rooms have been designed to feel like an old European Pension with paintings that were made especially for the Pension. We stayed in a modern hotel in the MItte last time, but enjoyed the atmosphere of this one much more. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Berlin!

If you are staying more than one or two nights, get the family room. The first night we stayed in the smaller, double room. That was a bit small for us since we stayed a week. If you want your towels to be changed, leave them on the floor. (It took us awhile to learn this!)
