    Hi all,

    I've deferred my entry from 2019 to 2020 and was trying to get an idea of reasonably priced hotels that are family friendly near enough to the city centre. We'll be staying 3 or 4 nights. 2 adults & 2 mini adults & 1 mini so 2 rooms or family suite

    I'd appreciate any recommendation that you may have.

    Don't want any hostels but am also one to apartment suggestions.

    TIA

    Anne

    Can’t recommend anything hotel related in Berlin but we used AirB&B when I done Köln last year A. Completely family friendly and are going with with same for Seville in February.

    applied for berlin via lottery, should know on 27th if successful so will also be looking for accommodation for family
    anyone know what the chances of getting in are?

    We stayed at Adina Apartment Hotel Berlin at Hackescher Markt - the mini kitchen was very handy for race day self-catering. Worth a look - can’t remember anything negative about it! Assume they have 2-bed suites. Plenty of reasonable restaurants nearby too and right beside train station so very easy to get to the start area a couple of stops away.

    I have booked with AirBnB for next year. There are only 3 of us in our family but there was a lot of choice available and prices were far more reasonable than hotels.

    Just make sure to book with someone who has plenty of good reviews and is well established.

    We stayed at HSH Hotel Apartments Mitte in 2018.

    Nice and central, beside the train also.

    I wasn't traveling with kids, but there were families staying there.
    Breakfast is basic but the apartments were clean and kitchenette area was very handy.

    Thanks Lads,
    Apartment via AirBnB and Ryanair flights all booked.
    6 night for 5 people all in for under €1700. I think that's great value.

    I applied once and got in so while it may be 16%, my success rate is 100%.
