AVUS Motel- cheap hotel option near Artemis
I am a Berlin newbie, only exploring here twice. I have stayed at AVUS motel twice and it has served it's purpose very well as a safe, clean space to store my bags and sleep. It is a short 12 minute walk from S-bahn Westkreuz & Artemis. $45 Euro / with breakfast. (Nothing fancy but clean). From Westkreuz station the entire city is easily accessible via the S-bahn / U-bahn system.
When I do hit Berlin it is usually only for a stopover. Both times I have done major Artemis (5-8hr) visits and wanted a place a short taxi or walk late at night. (taxi only 5 Euros) I walked back at midnight this trip and felt safe, but there is a pedestrian tunnel one must pass through that I could see could get some people nervous. I read this entire area of town near the Messe (convention center) as being low risk, but then again this is a major city and anything can happen at 2am.

Lamour Brothel- good inexpensive Berlin option
Using Angus' "walk to Lamour" youtube I found this out of the way brothel. At 4pm on Tuesday they presented 15 girls ranging in age 21yrs-30yrs. There were many I found more than acceptable. I chose a 30yr (looked 22yr) from Poland who spoke no English. Most the girls appeared eastern European. 50 Euro / 30min + 10 kiss + 10 BBBJ. All in all I received great service and will return.
Next door to Lamour is a sex Kino I stopped in but would not recommend unless you really like old and fat faulein.

Budget hotel option near Tegal, U-Bahn & Lamour brothel
On the corner of the street one must take a left to travel down to Lamour coming from U-bahn station is this Econo Hotel. I stopped in to check out the rooms for future reference. It is close to Tegel airport and S-bahn / U-bahn system and just 3 blks up from Lamour. Rooms were 65 Euro / night. It certainly is a nicer hotel than AVUS, but I prefer the proximity of AVUS to Artemis (my favorite Berlin option) and AVUS is a little cheaper (45E) and does include a fairly nice breakfast.
