I HAVE done some research but was hoping for for some personal recommendations...similar to what I've done for hotels in Dublin when other FTers have looked for help...

If there's anyone in a charitable mood, I would be very grateful if you could let me know if you've any experience of the following hotels that are kinda within the catchment area we're looking at.
*Mercure Hotel which is near Checkpoint CHarlie
*Johann Hotel on Johanniterstrasse
*Kiez Pension on Jungstrasse
*Upstalbloom Hotel on Gubenerstrasse

Much thanks for any assistance.

USAFAN, noted your location...lucky you! Hope you enjoy the New Year's fireworks on the beach!
