Hotels in Berlin Central Station

Berlin Hauptbahnhof stacks its trains on two levels, and that shapes an early departure more than the hotel's distance. East-west trains, including the S-Bahn into Mitte, use platforms 11 to 16 on a viaduct two floors up; north-south trains use platforms 1 to 8 two floors underground. Seat61 notes that ICEs toward Frankfurt or Cologne can leave from either level, so read the departure screen before you commit to an escalator. For a dawn train I would sleep on the station's doorstep. Leave the main entrance on the south side, facing the Spree, and the Steigenberger Am Kanzleramt is across the forecourt to the right; the IntercityHotel is about 200 metres away. On the north side, the ibis stands across the road from the exit and Motel One is close by. The Reichstag is roughly eleven minutes on foot from the station. Most hotels on this list are in Mitte, around Friedrichstrasse, Checkpoint Charlie and Gendarmenmarkt: better for sightseeing, but count the S-Bahn from platforms 15 and 16 or the U5 into your timing. One trap: Berlin has several main-line stations, and some night trains have started from Gesundbrunnen during engineering work, so check which station your ticket names.

The hotels closest to Berlin Hauptbahnhof are a handful of modern buildings on either side of the station: the Steigenberger Am Kanzleramt and the IntercityHotel near the south main entrance, the ibis and Motel One on the north side. Everything else on this page, from Friedrichstrasse to Gendarmenmarkt and Potsdamer Platz, is an S-Bahn or U5 ride into Mitte rather than a walk, which matters if your ICE leaves early.

MEININGER Hotel Berlin Central Station3.6Guest scoreParking

MEININGER Hotel Berlin Central Station

Nine-storey hostel-hotel a short walk from Berlin Hauptbahnhof's Washingtonplatz exit

Why guests love it

The MEININGER Hotel Berlin Central Station is a hostel-hotel hybrid, and its value for a rail traveller comes almost entirely from its position: about 150 metres from Berlin Hauptbahnhof, with the station's ICE, regional and S-Bahn platforms and the U5 a few minutes away. Families get triple and four-bed bunk rooms, and the guest kitchen, game zone and lounge help on a rainy evening. Pets are allowed in private rooms with a supplement. Practical points include a 24-hour reception, two lifts across nine floors, breakfast with vegan options from 06:30 to 10:30, luggage storage with a PIN lock and a late check-out until 14:00 in private rooms, also for a supplement. Across 7,106 reviews averaging 7.2, guests rate it as functional rather than comfortable, so travellers who want space and calm should look at a full-service hotel instead.

View hotel →

What to expect

  • Platforms 11 to 16 sit on an elevated east-west viaduct and platforms 1 to 8 two levels underground, with the U5 on separate tracks.
  • The left-luggage centre is on level +1, on the right-hand side as you come in from the main entrance.
  • S-Bahn trains from platforms 15 and 16 run to Friedrichstrasse, Alexanderplatz, Zoologischer Garten and Ostbahnhof.
  • The Steigenberger Am Kanzleramt faces the main entrance across the forecourt, and the ibis is opposite the north exit.

Local tips

  • ✓Allow extra minutes for platforms 1 to 8: they are two levels below ground, and an ICE to Frankfurt or Cologne can leave from there or from the upper level.
  • ✓The DB Lounge is on level +1, on the left just before the escalators up to platform 11, but it does not accept Interrail passes or Nightjet tickets.
  • ✓For Gesundbrunnen, the S15 leaves from platform 22, north of the main platforms, rather than from the main S-Bahn tracks.
  • ✓Lockers are spread across the station: S-Bahn Berlin lists some at the car park entrance on level -2 and others on the first floor near the escalator to platforms 13 and 14.

FAQ

Which hotels are closest to Berlin Hauptbahnhof?

The Steigenberger Am Kanzleramt sits across the forecourt from the south main entrance, and the IntercityHotel is about 200 metres away. On the north side, the ibis Berlin Hauptbahnhof is across the road from the exit, with Motel One Berlin-Hauptbahnhof nearby. Hotels in Mitte, such as those around Friedrichstrasse, need a short S-Bahn or U5 ride.

Is there left luggage at Berlin Hauptbahnhof?

Yes. The staffed left-luggage centre is on level +1, to the right as you enter from the main entrance, and lockers are also available elsewhere in the station, including near the car park entrance on level -2. That makes it easy to explore the government quarter before an evening train.

Which platform level do I need at Berlin Hauptbahnhof?

East-west trains, including the S-Bahn, use platforms 11 to 16 on the upper level; north-south trains use platforms 1 to 8 deep underground. Long-distance trains toward Frankfurt or Cologne can use either level, so check the departure board before heading down or up.

Can I walk from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to the Reichstag?

Yes. The Reichstag is around eleven minutes on foot and the Brandenburg Gate about eighteen, according to Seat61. From level +1 you can even see the Reichstag through the glass facade, which makes the station-side hotels a practical base for the government quarter.
