Any tips before I proceed with a booking.

As for what we're into, just checking out the sights. I hear that the redevelopment in the former East Berlin is pretty amazing. (My wife and traveling companion is an architecture student and while she did Berlin before we met, I'm sure things have changed a lot since.)

I have had German colleagues booking the IC in Berlin at www.hrs.de for a conference at the IC. They snatched a 128€ price at a time when the IC web site listed a price above 169€. One of them got a small standard room, the other one the same type of junior suite I had been upgraded to as a RA. They regularly use hrs.de and have never had any problem with it.
