Berlin is great! Went there last year can't really help you with hotels as we stayed at a quite fancy hotel.

I highly recommend http://www.waytostay.com/ for apartments. Went to berlin with 4 other people in April and I got an apartment from there.
Subway station right at the door, 2 stops from Alexanderplatz, and from there you can go pretty much everywhere very fast.
It was also on a 15-20 minute walk from both Berghain and Tresor. 3 nights/4 days, €250 euros in total so €50p/p which is pretty cheap!

Some other friends went to Budapest and got their apartment from there. Same story, very cheap and very good location etc.

wow there are some pretty nice cheapish places on there! am thinking a hostel by myself might be a bit of a risk so will probably go with that.

Is being fluent in German a necessity for visiting Berlin?

Not really. Enough people there know English. Knowing a bit of German certainly won't hurt though.

stopped there when i was travelling to outlook, stayed at wombats hostel - was OK priced (like 20 quid a night?) for Berlin and was pretty decent in terms of a hostel, had a bar upstairs and had a print out of time out with whats on on those nights in the city (managed to catch Pinch whilst i was there coz of this) - definitely worth a gander. Check it on hostelworld or something.

Well it'll be a few years before I ever consider making a trip to Berlin, working on French right now...I'll probably continue taking that in college. Maybe I'll work some German in somewhere along the line.

anyone here know what berlin's like for dubstep nights? hoping to move there after university and although i do like a bit of german techno, i reckon i'd miss hearing decent dubstep being played as well
