Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz
Overall our stay was very good. The hotel was busy, & had a lovely atmosphere. It was clean and the staff were friendly & attentive. The only thing we didn't like was the bathroom facilities in the rooms. Individual cubicles for toilet & shower in the bedroom, with only a frosted glass door for privacy ...

I had a really nice short stay here. The room was clean and comfy and the restaurant food and drinks were GREAT (Mushroom Pasta was delicious). It's in a great location and so many things in the area that are walkable... Loved it

Hotel Riu Plaza Berlin
The room was not spotless. There were stains on the toilet walls and corners were dirty. On the shower there were brown spots where water came out. There were chalk in main shower because water sprayed all over.
