Getting to the Estrel Hotel is easy with the hotel's close access to public transport. The urban railway station, “S-Bahnhof Sonnenallee”, is a mere 250 meters from the hotel.  The bus line M41 stops right outside the Hotel; it runs every five minutes during the day and every ten minutes in the evening. This bus line enables guests’ direct connections to the underground network and also to Potsdamer Platz. The closest entry and exit to / from the inner-city motorway “Stadtautobahn 100” is “Grenzallee”, which lies in the direct vicinity.

All major sites in Berlin, like the Brandenburg Gate, Charlottenburg Castle, Potzdamer Platz and great shopping districts are also very easy to access via the public transportation system. The Visit Berlin website offers much useful information about sightseeing and getting around Berlin.
