Hotel Berlin, Berlin, a member of Radisson Individuals
This is a huge hotel with self check in and out. It’s clean and comfortable - located in the area of the city where all the government buildings and consulates are. It’s not in the heart of Berlin, I would say - but perfectly nice and good transport links (bus and underground).
