Back from Berlin. Spent 4 days, here's the breakdown:
Accommodation: Mid-range hotel near the action. $31/night.
Scene: About what the forum described.
Prices: Fair for the quality.
Highlights: The GFE experience here is next level.
Overall: 7/10 — good but not my favorite.
Ask me anything.
Berlin — just got back, quick review

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.
