Geared mostly toward business guests, Vienna House Andel’s Berlin is located outside of Berlin’s main city center, but most attractions can be reached easily by car or S-Bahn, two stops of which are situated outside of the hotel. With parking on-site, several huge meeting rooms, ballrooms, and presentation areas, a fitness center, and three saunas -- plus a whirlpool, Andel’s offers more amenities than most in its price range (that are located in the city center), but there's nothing of much interest to visit within walking distance. It’s a hip, modern hotel well-suited to anyone who doesn’t mind traveling by car or S-Bahn to visit the sights.

With more than 400 rooms, including suites, the Steigenberger is one of the largest hotels in Berlin’s city center, but unlike many hotels of its size that err on the side of generic uniformity, the upscale Steigenberger offers personality in its design, along with some special amenities that include a large, locally sourced breakfast spread, two fine-dining restaurants that highlight regional fare, and a lounge with regular live music. It also has an indoor swimming pool under a domed roof, a sauna, spa, and fitness center, plus ample meeting and event space. The hotel is within easy reach of Berlin’s busiest shopping area and the Berlin Zoo. All in all, the Steigenberger offers great value at a reasonable price.

Incredibly cool, the 149-room, eco-friendly 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin is a great option for hip, design-conscious travelers looking to stay in the heart of the city. Its West Berlin location is next to Berlin Zoo and very close to Tiergarten and Breitscheidplatz, with plenty of places to dine and drink within walking distance in the neighborhood.

The quirky, 48-room Arte Luise Kunsthotel is reasonably priced for its central location in the heart of Berlin; it's close to Brandenburg Gate and the Checkpoint Charlie Museum, but in a fairly quiet neighborhood, although some rooms do get noise from the nearby central train station. The budget hotel's rooms are individually decorated by local artists, so you can choose to stay in the Marilyn Monroe or the Vincent Van Gogh room; some do have shared bathrooms, though, and accommodations are relatively basic in substance. There's a good restaurant, but not much else in terms of facilities.

The 17-room Art Nouveau-style ArtHotel Connection is a friendly gay hotel in the Schoeneberg district, located on a floor of an historic apartment building. It's light on amenities, with no restaurant or bar on-site, but there are plenty of places to dine and drink in the neighborhood. This hotel isn't right in the center of the main tourist attractions, but they're easy to get to, with two underground stations close by. Rooms and public spaces make a feature of the nineteenth century architecture and feature quirky touches to add character. It's worth noting that some rooms share a bathroom.

In a prime western Berlin location, the 194-room BEST WESTERN PLUS Amedia Berlin Kurfüerstendamm is an upper-mid-range property that is central for travelers looking to hit the upscale shopping and tourist attractions on Kurfürstendamm avenue. A stylish steakhouse, bright breakfast room, and lobby bar are all available on-site; while these are attractive in appearance, there are many other options for restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. The rooms are modern with electric kettles and are affordable for the area, but service isn't always up to the standards of an advertised four-star hotel. For a more sophisticated atmosphere, the H10 Berlin Ku'damm is on a quiet side street, while nearby Hotel Q! is a better option for taking in the neighborhood's nightlife. Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Pension Galerie is a dated but beloved mid-range bed-and-breakfast near the center of Berlin. It's on a residential street, but that helps keep the noise down in the building, which is home to drafty old windows. The large, clean, and individually decorated rooms feature flat-screen TVs. They're more affordable than other hotel rooms in the area, but their furnishings are dated. The included breakfast is served in a charming little room where the owner is known to chat with her guests as she helps serve coffee and tea. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.

The one-pearl Schlafmeile Hostel, far outside of the city center, is as cheap and no-frills as properties come. Even some of the most basic amenities are absent and others like linens and towels are for an extra fee, but its rates are rock-bottom to match. The shared dorms are bare-bones rooms with bunk beds and brightly colored walls; there some private rooms and apartments too (some of which have en-suite bathrooms) but all open to directly to the loud street. An attached bar and cafe gives guests a place to socialize, but also adds to the high noise levels throughout the hostel. There's also a handy communal kitchen, but everything here needs a good cleaning.
