Rooms with reduced barriers, yes; wheelchair-accessible rooms, no. Our ground-floor rooms can be reached step-free, and one Single Room and one Classic Twin each have a walk-in shower with no step. If you would like one of them, please drop us a line after booking so we can reserve it for you. However, our rooms are not wheelchair accessible according to the German DIN standard: there are no grab rails or shower seats, and the upper floors can only be reached by the stairs, as we have no lift. If you have special requirements, please write to us before booking – we will tell you honestly whether it is a good fit.

Perfectly. Messe Berlin is no more than 15 minutes from the Kerlin by car, and especially during trade fair season we are ideal as a whole house for exhibitor teams and delegations: everyone under one roof, self check-in even late in the evening, coworking in the house. Enquire early – Berlin books up quickly during trade fairs.
