I would like any advice on hotels in Berlin and Prague. I will be in
Berlin for 3 days and Prague for 7 (2 people). (I may also need a
room for one night near the Brussels Airport).

I'm not looking for anything fancy, just safe and clean. I would like
to keep it around 40-50 euro a night (or less, if possible) and I
might bring my laptop (internet access is a plus, but not that
important).

I have (and still am doing) some research, but a lot of my google
searches are pulling up old messages. So, I would love some advice
from this knowledgeable group.

I will be doing the usual site seeing (going to pick up a guide book
later today) and I will probably go out every night, so I'm sure that
will effect where I stay.

So whatever you can tell me about a decent hotel would be great, and
would it be better to book from home (I'm in the USA) or just go
there. I will fly to Berlin (so maybe I can book from the Airport)
then train to Prague, if any of that matters.
