Where is the best place / area to stay in Berlin?

Question

A bunch of mates and myself (lads) are planing on visiting Berlin next August. Where is the best area to stay for nightlife and things to do?

Were looking for a good laugh as its my stag trip....

Answer 1

I'd stay either in the area of Kurfurstendamm in the former west, or in Mitte just north of Alexanderplatx/Unter den Linden.  The areas around Hackesher Markt and Friedrichstrasse S-Bahn stations have a lot of nightlife, as does the Ku'damm.

Answer 2

stag trip -- yuk,yuk,yuk.

how dated is that?

Answer 3

Here are some accomodation possibilities I found on Google (in German):

You should see the Kreuzberg / Friedrichshain district of Berlin, there's the best and cheapest nightlife in town. Prenzlauer Berg also isn't bad; just ask any taxi driver to get you to the "Wasserturm" ("water tower").
