which has two reviews of the property.
I stayed there last February about the same time and had a great time... very nice property, midsize and well-furnished rooms, some with nice views of the Philharmonie and Kulturforum. Well-located as JohnnyP says, excellent Grand Club with good breakfast and really nice evening spread (including salads which is really a welcome addition!). Nice fitness center and pool as well (overlooking the Philharmonie/Kulturforum). My only small complaint is that the carpeting in the halls is a slightly loud shade of red: you may want to wear some shades. I was there during the Berlin Film Festival which was pretty exciting.
If you've not been to Berlin before, you're in for a treat. It's a very atmospheric city, with a ton of things to do. My favorites include:
* Pergamon Museum
* Concert at the Philharmonie
* Seeing a movie at an old East Berlin theater.
* Walking around the city in the snow, particularly Unter Den Linden, when there are NO other tourists around.
Good restaurants and nightlife as well.
