The Q! Casa Hotel Berlin is a mid-range boutique hotel with 35 simple, minimalistic rooms and suites. While standard rooms are small, they have nice updates like flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Deluxe rooms or apartments provide a significant space upgrade, with sitting areas, kitchenettes, and huge soaking tubs. The location in elegant Charlottenburg is near excellent shopping, including the famous Kurfurstendamm, a street lined with boutiques. Convenient extras here include a cozy, modern breakfast room and a bar off the lobby, but the rooms have no air-conditioning -- resulting in uncomfortable summer nights -- and there can be some street noise in the front of the building.

The Tryp by Wyndham Berlin am Ku'damm Hotel is an affordable mid-range option with sparse amenities. Common areas are appealing -- there's a jazz-themed breakfast area, a roomy patio, and a small but modern lobby with a fireplace. Rooms are modest with streamlined decor and extremely limited amenities -- AC, safes, mini-fridges, and kettles aren't standard, and the "free Wi-Fi" doesn't work in all guest rooms. Still, guests generally find rooms clean, and they do have flat-screen TVs, small desks, and en-suite bathrooms. The biggest draw is the location -- the hotel is close to Berlin's best shopping along the Kurfurstendamm. By comparison, the nearby Berlin Plaza Hotel am Kurfuerstendamm offers more dated decor but has a full-service restaurant and bar.

The Hotel de Rome is a luxury property in central Berlin, within walking distance of many major historic sights. Its 145 elegant rooms have well-stocked minibars and luxurious bathrooms. Many have balconies, some with views of St. Hedwig Church and Humboldt University. Housed in a 19th-century bank, the hotel has a lap pool and spa in the former jewelry vault, as well as a rooftop lounge and an Italian restaurant with mirrored walls and a garden. Part of the style-conscious Rocco Forte line of properties, the Hotel de Rome is described by guests as elegant without pretension. High-end products and materials are the norm here, from Berlin vodka in the cocktails to Malin & Goetz toiletries. It's worth comparing rates with the nearby Ritz-Carlton, Berlin, which offers similar amenities and more of an Old World atmosphere in rooms.

The 163-room California am Kurfurstendamm is an upper-middle-range property offering decent value and a location on Kurfurstendamm Avenue, Berlin’s most popular shopping street. Though it's not within walking distance of top sites, it's well serviced by public transportation. Rooms are dated, but come equipped with flat-screen TVs and minibars, but no coffee- and tea-making facilities -- plus only some have air-conditioning. With a modern restaurant, bar, and Haagen Dazs cafe, this hotel is a decent pick for tourists, plus it has a small fitness room and a spa. Though it has several meeting rooms, they're dated, as are the public computers, and Wi-Fi is spotty -- so it's not an ideal pick for business travelers. One nearby alternative is Citadines Kurfuerstendamm Berlin, which has rooms with kitchenettes, though it doesn't have any on-site eating options except for breakfast.

A good pick for groups of students or big families, Citylight Hotel is a value property with 90 rooms, some accommodating up to six guests. There’s a colorful restaurant on-site serving a breakfast buffet included in some room rates, and three-course dinner buffets can be arranged for groups. The hotel is in a convenient location near the subway and only three stops from the main tourist attractions, but the rooms are simple with small showers and the teenage guests may be a bit noisy for anyone hoping for a quiet vacation. For entertainment there is a game room and a disco, and Wi-Fi and parking are both free. Guests looking for more modern accommodations may want to check out Mondrian Suites Hotel Berlin, a three-pearl hotel near Checkpoint Charlie with clean, apartment-like rooms.
