Berlin neighborhood (#2001)

Berlin neighborhood (#2001)
From the window of my room at the Rewari, looking southeast to a long block that is primarily residential. The hotel was recommended by an acquaintance and worked out perfectly -- it's in a quiet, ethnically diverse, neighborhood, with friendly and interesting staff, very close to good u-bahn connections, and close to major sites of interest.

Do hotel staff speak English pretty routinely, even relatively off the beaten path like this? My German is rudimentary in the extreme.

I stayed primarily in hotels that cater to European tourists and even in those most spoke what seemed to be good English, but then I began to realize it was 'retail English'. When you actually started to get into a conversation, the limits of language showed up quickly.

This, on the other hand, looks like what I would have imagined for Berlin before the war and the division.It's an interesting contrast.
