INNSiDE by Melia Berlin Mitte

This hotel is next to a metro line so that was convenient. It is in mitte but about a good 15-20 walk to the major sites. The hotel looks nice but was not the cleanest. I also felt like I got scammed by a hotel employee who charged my 20euros to check in early claiming I would get an upgraded room and that there were no rooms available. I was there after the new year and it was evident there were plenty of empty rooms. Other than that the hotel was OK.

Great hotel in a convenient location for exploring Berlin due to being near options for public transport. The room was clean and smart; could only be improved by adding a kettle and tea/coffee facilities. The only strange thing was that housekeeping came in our room at 9:30am (we had just woken up!) to try and clean our room on the day of checkout. The lobby area has been refurbished to a high standard and was very tastefully decorated! We went for a drink in the bar Saturday night and enjoyed the pianist and singer. Overall a great stay.

The room was very appealing and the bathroom was very nice. However, the single cot was broken (we didn't use it) and our room was facing the street window and could hear every noise from outside. Also, we would have liked to know the air conditioning is turned off during winter months; the room gets warm very quickly with no AC. The concierge was friendly and amenities were easy to use.

The hotel was clean with helpful staff. The breakfast buffet we purchased was also very good, and the hotel provided lactose free milk for me, based on my prior request. There was a U-bahn subway very close by, as well as other restaurants, in addition to the one in our hotel. The only thing I would prefer would be having better amenities such as shampoo and conditioner. They instead provide a shampoo/body wash combo dispenser in the shower. The price and location were fine!

Booked a Superior Room I though with a King Size bed but was given two single beds pulled together. Air-con a little noisy but apart from that rooms modern and clean, great shower and the breakfast fabulous. Well located near the U-Bahn. A little pricey but that seems always to be the case for Berlin in September. Staff are really friendly, helpful and understanding.
