Top hotels in Altstadt Spandau
Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz
construction in the area made it hard to find entrance. no signage to redirect guests. unhelpful approach from reception - had to ask for help to take up a kettle as I had to carry up my two bags. Charged €2 to store luggage for guests. Very basic service for a park inn hotel.
