The luxury, 243-room Moevenpick Hotel Berlin, housed in a former factory, combines historic industrial elements with striking contemporary decor. An eight-minute walk to Potsdamer Platz, it's conveniently located in walking distance to many sights. The hotel's restaurant, designed in the style of a Mediterranean piazza, has a retractable glass roof, and the adjoining bar serves exotic cocktails and snacks all day in its lounge. The property also has a small gym and sauna, and stylish event rooms, but no on-site pool or spa. (Guests can use the facilities at an off-site spa.) All rooms are air-conditioned, and include minibars, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, but standard Classic Rooms can be small. Travelers looking for a full-service spa may prefer the nearby Crowne Plaza Berlin Potsdamer Platz -- though its decor lacks the same flair.

With warm wood-paneled walls and grand oiled paintings framed in gold, the 58-room Derag Livinghotel Berlin Mitte is a mid-range property with a warmer, more traditional feel than Derag Livinghotel Großer Kurfürst, its more spacious sister property across the street. Guest rooms feature minibars with free drinks, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, while studios and apartments add kitchens or kitchenettes. On the downside, they lack AC and decor can feel dated or basic. Common features include an Indian restaurant, a breakfast room, and a small lobby bar, plus guests can make use of the wellness amenities (and livelier bar) at the neighboring sister hotel. The canal-side location in Mitte is excellent, right across from a U-Bahn stop. Another option in the area to consider could be Novotel Berlin Mitte.

Citadines Kurfuerstendamm Berlin is an upper-mid-range chain hotel with 118 clean, apartment-like rooms. Common areas at the hotel are bright and modern with comfy couches. The hotel is located in the Charlottenburg neighborhood with plenty of shops and restaurants as well as transportation nearby, but some of the popular tourist destinations are about 45 minutes away via public transportation. There’s no full restaurant on-site, but a breakfast buffet with terrace dining is available for a fee, and guests are welcome to free hot tea and coffee at all times. Pleasant rooms have kitchenettes and free Wi-Fi, but some have refreshed decor while others remain on the dated side. Visitors wanting to be closer to the city center may want to compare rates at the Tryp Berlin Mitte Hotel, a four-pearl property with a more central location.

The three-pearl ARCOTEL Velvet is conveniently located in the city center, close to restaurants, public transportation, and within walking distance of some top attractions. Its 85 guest rooms are fairly basic and bland, equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, while Suites add kitchenettes with two-burner stoves and sinks. Guests complain about the Wi-Fi, however, and noise in street-side rooms. Take note that some rooms have open-floor bathroom plans with only a curtain separating the facilities, meaning little privacy. Breakfast isn’t free, and there’s no on-site restaurant -- just a bar with evening hours. While the rates are reasonable for the location, travelers can also check out Ellington Hotel Berlin, which is near Kurfurstendamm and has an on-site restaurant, fitness center, and meeting facilities.

The Hilton Berlin is a huge 601-room luxury hotel in the heart of Berlin's Mitte district, directly across from Gendarmenmarkt Square. Rooms are clean and comfortable, if a little bland, and include minibars and large flat-screen TVs. The hotel has a spa with an indoor pool and saunas, a lobby bar and lounge, several on-site restaurants, 24-hour room service, and even a convenience store and a hair salon. But lots of things here cost extra fees, including in-room Wi-Fi, the breakfast buffet, parking, use of the pool and spa, which leaves some guests frustrated. This property does have the aura of a large chain hotel; guests looking for a little more charm might consider the more opulent Regent Berlin nearby.

The 317-room City Hotel Berlin East is a value option away from the city center. This clean, quiet hotel offers bland rooms and suites with almost bare walls, simple furniture, and old tube TVs. Decor may not be a priority for the guests who choose to stay here, though, as these rooms are available at practically hostel rates. Bathrooms in standard rooms have tiny shower stalls, but upgrading to a suite provides more space. Perks here include a bright, modern fitness center and a location that is close to local tram stops. With 24-hour room service and an affordable breakfast at the on-site New Orleans bar, this hotel is a good pick, but it can be a little difficult to find and there is a pesky fee for Wi-Fi.
