I am not really a big breakfast person at any hotel so this will be a choice based on location as suggested for each half of the trip - thanks!

Depending on what you plan on doing while you are there, you might just find yourself always going over Alexanderplatz (or connecting there) if you end up staying at the East Side Gallery location. However, WarschauerStr. station is only 3 stops away from Alexanderplatz station (5 or 6 minutes). So, I guess it might just come down to the price each property is charging for your stay (if it's coming out of your own pocket).
