Mini Review:
This hotel really ticks all the boxes. First it has excellent overall reviews. The location is outstanding for visitors wanting to explore the sights and attractions of Berlin. Many, if not most, of Berlin's most renowned attractions and museums are within easy walking distance. For those that aren't, the hotel is next to S+U Friedrichstraße Train Station, just one stop from Berlin Central Station. This provides a directlink to Schoenfeld Airport. The immediate area is renowned for shopping and dining. For quality accommodation in such a prized location one would expect to pay more. The only downside is noise from the trains, especially if you get a room facing the above-ground tracks. For a quieter stay, request a room away from the station side.

Mini Review:
If we were to sum up the Mandala Hotel in one word, it would simply be WOW!. This is the first 5-Star hotel that we have included in our recommended hotels. Where do we begin? The studios and suites are huge compared to most hotels. Every room comes with a full kitchenette, something that can save you a ton of money by preparing your own meals rather than eating in restaurants all the time. All rooms are located on the quieter upper floors. Everything is luxury grade except the rates which are very competitive for what you get. The location across from the Sony Center in Potsdamer Platz is great too. The train station is only a 3-minute walk from the hotel entrance. Tiergarten is only a 5-minute walk and Brandenburg Gate is a 14-minute walk. Some rates include breakfast. Bike rentals and tours are available too.

With a location that's second-to-none the Meliá Hotel is a great base for sightseeing and exploring attractions. Like the NH Collection Berlin Mitte Friedrichstrasse listed above, it's just steps from the Friedrichstraße Train Station and within easy walking distance to the city's most renowned museums, landmarks and attractions. Friedrichstraße is one of Berlin's premier shopping streets. The Spree River, where you can walk or cycle for miles, or hop on a boat tour, is just out the door. The soundproofed rooms are spacious and include a refridgerator, something a lot of hotels in Berlin don't offer. Some room rates include breakfast, but you can save money by booking without and taking advantage of the many nearby restaurants.

Amenities:
Air Conditioning, Free WiFi, Flat-screen TV, Kitchen, Kitchenware, Iron, Hairdryer, Daily housekeeping, 24-hour front desk, Smoke Free, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Bar.
Mini Review:
Apartments stays are a good option, especially for families and longer stays. You have more room to stretch out and a full kitchen with a fridge, coffee maker, microwave, oven, stovetop, toaster and dishwasher to prepare your meals in. That alone can save you a lot of money compared to eating out. In addition, many rooms at the Wilde Aparthotels by Staycity at Checkpoint Charlie have excellent city views. Unlike Airbnb type rentals, you have the confidence and security of a 24-hour front desk and concierge service. There's no fitness center but, lets be real, your going to be walking or cycling around the city most of the day. There's no restaurant or bar either, but you do have the kitchen and there are plenty of restaurants in the neighbourhood. As for location, it's close to many popular attractions - only a 4-minute walk from Kochstraße Checkpoint Charlie Station and 10 minutes from Potsdamer Platz. Reviews on this apartment hotel are outstanding across the board.
