- Name of the hotel:
Mercure Berlin Wittenbergplatz

- What is your Le Club status?
Gold

- Were you (or for multi-stayers were you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

- Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked: Standard Double Room (queen bed)
Technically, we didn't get an upgrade. Still, we were given a corner room (probably the biggest room in the hotel) on the top floor plus extra amenities (bathrobes, slippers etc.)

- How are the rooms?
Our room was veeeery spacious. There was a large comfortable bed, a decent sofa and an armchair with a footrest.
Kettle with tea, coffee and cocoa. (No coffee machine though.)
Standard bathroom with a shower.
Plenty of light, as there were 4 large slanting windows (almost floor to ceiling)

- What was good and what was bad?
Good:
* good location (next to a metro stop, walking distance to Berlin Zoo train station, EDEKA supermarket in front of the hotel)
* we liked the view of rooftops from the room
* modern design (more up-to-date than other Mercure hotels in Berlin), comfortable bed
* good shower - even though there's no door, it doesn't flood the bathroom door. Loved it.

Bad:
* we didn't get a proper upgrade to a privilege room
* no real desk/table, but you get a small table that you can put next to the sofa. You can regulate its height, so it's OK both for a laptop and glasses
* to use the WIFi, you need to log in with a user and a password. It's rather annoying
* the welcome gift was average
* breakfast is 19 EUR per person

- Did you get club lounge access? How was the lounge?
No lounge.

- What about welcome drinks, welcome amenities or any other special perks?
Drinks voucher given at check-in. You got two large beers. Also good for wine.
High speed WiFi connection offered for free.
On arrival, we found two bottles of rhubarb/apple drink. (It might be an acquired taste, but we didn't enjoy the gift much.)

- Value for $ or Vouchers? Would you return?
We booked the room during the 3for2 special sale, paying just above 60 EUR per night. Great value for money.
We would be happy to return.
