Ramada Hotel Berlin Mitte - Berlin, Germany     

This hotel is a very short walk to the U-bahn (underground). There is a supermarket next door. If you like to walk it's fairly close to the cafes, shops and art galleries in Mitte. The hotel was very clean and the staff were helpful, though they rarely smiled and seemed a bit unapproachable, but if you can get passed that they can be helpful. The room was nice and comfortable though not a luxury hotel (no robe, shower not bath, very small TV not flat screen, decorations were tasteful but nothing to remember, and the room was a little small though not cramped.) Room had minibar, hairdryer, temperature control, nice big leather chair, desk, and comfortable (but not amazing) bed, and it was quiet. For the price and location it's a decent choice. It was also very clean!

The rooms were clean, modern and well appointed although a little on the small side. The bathroom was spacious however and very clean. We had a non-smoking room but could still smell the cigarette smoke, although this may hopefully change with the new non-smoking laws. Our room faced the street, which wasn't noisy at all, but friends stayed in a room with a view on the other side of the hotel which would have been nicer, with a view towards the Reichstag. Breakfast was expensive at 16 euros each, but there are plenty of cafes serving breakfast and bakeries in the area. The bar was closed when we went to have a drink in the late afternoon. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk to Unter der Linden, but there is a tram stop and a metro station close by, which was very convenient. The hotel has a very small bag storage area, so our bags were stored next to the reception desk. However I wasn't questioned whether it was my bag when I came to collect it later. Overall a pleasant hotel in a good location and I would probably stay there again should I not chose to stay somewhat closer to Unter der Linden.
