The location of the hostel or hotel is very important. The ideal location is of course within walking distance to nightlife, close to tourist attractions, close to shopping, close to the beach and easy to reach from the airport. Many times you have to prioritize since there are no hostels or hotels with high ratings which are close to all of them. Travel Help prioritize high rating hostels which are within walking distance to nightlife. The reason is of course that during the day you can always travel by bus or subway. After midnight you usually have to walk or take an expensive taxi.
Extensive information about nightlife areas and nightclubs will be published here in the future. You will have a map where you can see the locations of all the interesting places, addresses to the good nightclubs with a little information about each of them. We will inform you about the clubs which are most popular and also some information about clubs for people over 30. Nightclubs open and close and it is therefore difficult to have all information up to date. You will therefore get web addresses to the clubs so you can check if they still are alive.
While waiting for the information to be published here you have to find it yourself on Internet. Search for ‘cityname’ and ‘nightlife’ on www.google.com.
http://www.partyzone-berlin.de/ seems to have information on all clubs in Berlin.
Ankerklause, Watergate Club, Weekend Club, Berghain & Panorama Bar, Matrix and Kit Kat Club.
In Berlin performances such as theatre are in German. There are however some alternatives.
Salsa clubs in Berlin: www.salsapower.com/cities/germany/berlin.htm
Salsa lesson 21-22 at Havana. Salsa dancing afterwards for people who dance salsa.
The travel cost below was estimated for 2012.
AirBerlin release their tickets 10-11 months before departure to a price of 1.234 SEK. We have however seen lower prices ( 982 SEK ) so maybe you don't have to buy the tickets until some months later.
Hostels have different accommodation alternatives such as private rooms for one, two or several persons beside the dormitories with different number of beds. Many hostels have special dormitories only for females. Some rooms are specified as 'ensuite' which means that they have their own bathroom and not a shared bathroom.
Travel Help has only specified one or two of the accommodation alternatives the hostels have. We use hostels since we think that it is a much nicer alternative compared to hotels. The hostels we use have high ranking and many reviews so you will feel at home and it is easy to get to know people from all around the world. We think that, if available, 8-bed mixed dormitories are nice if you want to get to know other people. Use the Hostel World link if you prefer other alternatives.
Grand Hostel
4-bed mixed dorm: 185 SEK, 204 SEK (Friday), 222 SEK (Saturday and Sunday)
More expensive than usual due to festival in the end of May.
( Price for May from Hostel World 2012-02-23 )
We have calculated with a maximum cost of 200 SEK as a general transfer cost between airport and hostel for all our weekend journeys. It is more or less always correct unless you take a taxi which are more expensive.
Single person: 982 + 200 + 185 + 204 + 2x222 + 185 SEK = 2.200 SEK
