Great place to meet gay and lesbian students

BLUS is the association of gay and lesbian students who meet at the bar at Studenterhuset every Tuesday. It's a great place to go and get a few very good and inexpensive beers along with other gay students and their friends. The main group is usually university students but everyone is welcome. Sometimes there are events such as a movie, a speaker, a fashion show or drag bingo. Students volunteer to work behind the bar which helps to keep prices down. After midnight, many of the students who don’t have early classes continue on to Masken for a shot or two.

My first visit to Berlin included a three-night stay at Tom’s Hotel. It has a great location if you want to be near many of the gay bars in Berlin. The double room I stayed in was in perfect order, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom perfectly clean and of a good size. The atmosphere in the halls between the rooms was really enjoyable and included a magazine rack filled with all the info you could possibly need about Berlin in general and specifically Gay Berlin. Tom’s Hotel also offers a shuttle service between the airport and the hotel, which we booked because we didn’t bother to look into public transportation. It worked just great but the trip from the airport to the hotel could probably have been done much cheaper.
