The upper-middle-range Abba Berlin Hotel in Ku'Damm offers clean, modern style throughout. The 214 rooms are plush and neutral, with sleek decor, big bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. Hotel perks include a chic restaurant and comfortable lounge/bar. There is also an indoor Jacuzzi, sauna, and spacious fitness center (though there's not much equipment and cardio machines lack individual TVs). While there is a fee for Wi-Fi in the rooms, this hotel is a solid pick for its location near a popular shopping street, bike rentals, and appealing contemporary style.

The Ameron is a three-pearl hotel with budget prices that's located on the scenic Spree River, a short walk from U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations. As of early 2017, the 224 guest rooms and suites were still undergoing renovations, and many still had dated decor. The Waterside and Maritime Deluxe Rooms feature scenic river views, and perks such as minibars and electric kettles -- some also have balconies. Features include two in-house restaurants, a fitness center on the ninth floor, and a spa area with a sauna, a steam bath, and a solarium. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, but breakfast costs extra. For something hipper, travelers could consider 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin for its urban jungle design.

A straightforward lower-middle-range hotel, SORAT Hotel Ambassador Berlin offers an excellent location, a few minutes' walk to a U-Bahn station and luxury shopping on Kurfürstendamm. Public spaces betray a few hints of its swinging '60s past, and its 218 rooms are nicely sized for an urban hotel. The simple Standard Rooms are outfitted with flat-screen TVs and hairdryers, but that's about it. The category above, Comfort Rooms, are similarly styled but add electric kettles, bathrobes, and free bottled water. Safes, mini-fridges, and air-conditioning are notably missing, and the free Wi-Fi can be spotty. The hotel's best feature is its lobby bar, which has table service at a sitting area that extends into an outdoor courtyard in the summer months. For more modern decor, consider the Ibis next door.
