Berlin, Germany is a favorite vacation destination these days. Hotels are not as expensive in Berlin as you might expect, but finding the right one can be a bit daunting. Here are some tips for selecting hotels that guests find to be top notch in all price ranges.
The Mediterranean inspired Hotel Acksel Haus is located in a quiet and residential area just outside the center of the city of Berlin. You can get Studio Exclusive rooms with a equipped kitchen. High speed internet available.
The Modern City Partner Hotel Achat is located in a quiet neighborhood in the Western part of Berlin, close to the Old Town Spandau and only 3 km from the Olympiastadion, and good connections by public transportation.

The Hotel InterContinental Berlin is near the Embassies, and lots of important people have stayed at this five star luxury hotel, which offers decent Internet prices for the level of service. Top restaurants and bars inside.
The Novotel Berlin Airport is located close to the Berlin Tegel (TXL) airport, if you need an airport hotel. Shuttle service to the airport is available.
The Hotel Ku'damm 101 is unabashedly modern, but it's a soft and welcoming kind of modern. Each of the 170 rooms of the hotel are equipped with wireless ISDN telephones with voice mail, fax/modem access points, TV, radio and hair dryer.
Wouldn't you expect that a hotel called the Internet Hotel Gates would have free free surfing and e-mails in every room?
Should it surprise you that "the A&O Hostel Friedrichshain-Mitte is located in the heart of Berlin's student district, surrounded by trendy bars, clubs and shops for young people." I wouldn't think so. The two star hotel is a bargain.
