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.
