Re: Berlin September 2017
Thanks for the report.
Very much to the point.
I'm going soon.
Is it an issue bringing back joiners to the hotel mentioned?
You wrote that the reception is near the entrance.
Just wondering.
Re: Berlin September 2017
The hotel reception is right next to the entrance and the policy is that you leave your key with reception when you leave.
Therefore when you bring someone back they would be noticed when you ask for your key.
There are very few places in the world where a middle aged guy bringing back (perhaps) a late teen/early 20s boy who was clearly of a different nationality would not raise eyebrows! Thailand being one of course.
Fortunately the solution in this case is simple - don't leave your key in the first place!
Just stride out when you leave and you're not challenged.
When you arrive back, stride confidently back in (with companion) and again there's no challenge
(Potential) problem solved. Having said that, it made me nervous enough to probably use the Novum Aldea next time - where I suspect you could take a goat to your room and nobody would question you.

Re: Berlin September 2017
SG - if that Blue boy bar opposite the Axel Hotel ? I'm asking as I went into a small sgay bat there ( name escapes me) but I think it was something like that and am amazed to here there was ANY action going on at ALL in it as it looks like a load of old guy regulars sitting smoking and drinking just with nothing remotely hooky uppy about the place - or maybe thailand has spoilt me and i just don't know what to look for in Europe any longer ( but I'm fairly sure I still do :)

Google maps shows the correct location of the NEW Blue Boy Bar.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/....3497084?dcr=0
On my sole visit to the NEW location, I don't remember seeing any eligible trade. So less successful than several visits to the old location.
My one experiment with the street trade outside was not a great success & involved having to resort to force to remove the guy from my room. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the street trade has been banned from setting foot inside the bars on account of bad behaviour.
Did you find the boys reliable, Scottish Guy ?
As for the hotels, options which have worked for me include private apartments via EBAB & the Ibis Budget hotel by Wittenburgplatz. In the Ibis, it's straight on for the lifts & you have to detour left for reception.
The biggest loss was when Club Sauna Brasil kicked out all the rent boys & rebranded as Apollo Splash Club.
The old sauna was always a safe bet for some nice boys.
Having just checked the net, they rebranded again, to Steam Works, then let in all the rent boys again :). Unfortunately they then had 3 fatalities in a fire earlier this year, so are now closed.
I must venture back to Berlin in 2018.

No, it's about 1/4 of a mile away from the Axel Hotel. The only bar directly OPPOSITE the Axel (i.e. across the main road) is the OLDTIMER Bar, which is gay but no action. Adjacent to the Alex is DREISSLER Bar (unsure of spelling) which is also a small gay bar with a couple of tables outside but no action.

Can't understand that - the three nights I visited Fri/Sat//Sun the NEW Blue Boy was very busy with renters - I'd estimate around 10-12 boys of which I found 2-3 attractive. Guess you've just been unlucky
I've never had a problem with Berlin boys I've taken back - but I fully realise that in this game you're always one boy away from confrontation - especially with desperate lads from E Europe
