The staff at Living Hotel Großer Kurfürst were always attentive to my questions. They kindly helped me mail postcards and stored my bags when I arrived before check-in time. The room I had was spacious, particularly the bathroom. There was a nice view of the Spree from my room. The hotel is in an ideal location. Each morning, I could get a coffee and sit on a bench near the water. The Märkisches Museum station is adjacent to the hotel, and there are a number of buses nearby. Hard Wax and Tresor are a short walk away if you are into electronic music, especially techno! There's also Káffee Büro close by and Besh is not too far for delicious food. In the evenings, the hotel is very quiet, and I was able to get really good sleep.
