Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz
We stayed for 3 nights as a long weekend to visit Berlin. The location in Alexanderplatz was idéal for getting around by public transport and was on the same line (S9) as the airport. This was a busy city hotel, we had rooms on the 34th floor with great views to the east. Room was tiny but very clean ...

Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin
Clean room, nice bed. Welcoming reception. They had some problems with the computer system on our arrival day, and the bar staff who were temporary staff were absolutely useless, but once the normal staff had taken over it was great.
