Accommodation Details
This year we are offering players two tournament hotel options. For those who would like to stay right in the centre of the city, so they have easy access to all the main attractions of Berlin: museums, shops, amazing restaurants and bars – then the Holiday Inn is the best choice (There is a direct train from very near the hotel out to the sport centre – about 25 mins)
For those who want to stay close to the sports centre (1km / 13 mins walk), then Hotel Rheinsberg am See is the best choice.
These are the tournament hotels we have organised, but Berlin has many different accommodation options: Hostels, Air BnB and thousands of other hotels – so players are free to make their own choices.
