WALDHOTEL AM SEE BERLIN-SCHMOECKWITZ, Berlin

The hotel's setting on the lakeshore in a wooded area creates a quiet, nature-focused retreat. By car, the journey to central Berlin takes 30-45 minutes. Free private parking is available on site. Public transport is accessible via the nearby S-Bahn, making the city reachable without a car. The location is well-suited for cycling, walking tours, and water sports, with boat rental available directly at the hotel. A public beach is about 700 metres away.

Room types include double rooms with a 140 cm double bed, twin rooms with two single beds, family rooms with a double and bunk beds, and suites with a separate seating area. Furnishings are basic and described as 1980s-style; the property shows its age but rooms are generally clean. In some guest-house rooms, the toilet is located inside the shower cubicle, and the shower pressure requires pressing a button every few seconds. Soundproofing is limited: noise from neighbouring rooms and the parking area can be heard. No air conditioning is installed, and rooms rely on heating in winter. Windows are equipped with insect screens in many cases. Wardrobes and desks are provided, but no minibar, kettle, or safe. Some rooms have a balcony or terrace with views of the lake or garden; a hammock is provided on some balconies.
