Bettenburg Hotel & Hostel

The hotel is a bit far from the city center, but for the price, it's a pretty good option, close to the train station and shops like Lidl or Aldi. Cleanliness was normal to below average. The floor had a carpet, the wardrobe shelves were falling off, and the bed was a bit uncomfortable.

The room is unfortunately very small, but still very tidy.

It's about a 30-minute ride on the S-Bahn from Central Station. I think this is perfect for people looking for a budget-friendly place to stay. It's a little old, but not a problem for a short stay. However, the walls are thin, so you can hear people talking on the phone in nearby rooms and hear the sound of drafts. A hair dryer was available for rental for 10 euros (you get the 10 euro back when you return the dryer).

The heating often doesn't work; I've had to change rooms several times. However, the location is great and the staff are friendly.
