We spent a week at the Kronprinz Hotel in Falkensee in September 2014, and were very pleased with the accommodations. The location was approximately 20-30 minutes from downtown Berlin by train, which was a 15 minute walk from the Hotel. Since we didn't want to drive in the downtown Berlin traffic, this worked out quite well. Our stay was for pleasure, and we ventured to nearby Berlin, Potsdam, Wittenberg, and Stettin from this very convenient location. The Hotel is situated in a beautiful hardwood forest area, great for short hikes or biking. Our room was quite pleasing, with a lovely sitting room overlooking the forest and local community. The facilities were fairly modern, and very clean. The Hotel restaurant served an excellent meal at a very reasonable price, and the buffet style breakfast was included in the price. And the breakfast was very good! Parking was included in the price, as was Wi Fi. The staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasant, and easily managed our requests for special accommodations. Quite a few of the staff members spoke English, which worked well with our limited German. We spent an additional night at the Hotel in October, and had the same pleasant experience. I would definitely stay here again if I were in the Berlin area, and would most certainly recommend it to my friends.
