Hotels in Spandau

Spandau feels like its own small town: a historic old quarter, a 16th-century citadel and the Havel river running through it. Rooms cost less than downtown, the S-Bahn and U-Bahn run straight into the center, and it works well for budget travelers and anyone in town for a trade show.

Staying in Spandau: location, transport, price level

Spandau is Berlin's most self-contained district. The old town with its half-timbered houses and pedestrian zone, the 16th-century citadel and the Havel river make it feel more like its own small town than a city district. Locals still like to say they are going "to Berlin" when they head into the center.

For travelers the price level is the main draw: overnight rates here sit consistently below the inner-city average. The U7 runs to the convention grounds and on into City West without a transfer, and regional trains from Spandau reach Hauptbahnhof in about 10 minutes.
